Note: Next chapter of What are you? I haven't updated many of my stories in a long time. Anyway I don't own Fairy Tail or anything of it. I only own the storyline, and excuse me for grammar/spelling mistakes. I don't own the cover photo either.
"Natsu...?" I said while my eyes widened, and mouth opened. He turned around to reveal blood all over his mouth area, and his usual black orbs were pale green. I took a step towards him only to be spammed back into a wall.
"Natsu, stop it, please! This isn't you." I pleaded. But, it was no use, and so, he came closer to my neck. The said male bit into my neck, sucking out the blood while I started to feel dizzy.
I grasped his arm tightly, and for a moment, he stopped.
"Lucy...?" he says while blinking at me.
"Natsu, is that you?" I say faintly.
"Yeah, but are you okay, Lucy?" Natsu says while looking at my neck.
"Natsu...what are you and why did you bite me?" I said while feeling at my neck.
"Lucy...you should know what I am by now. After all, I sucked you're blood."
I gulped, and questioned, "Vampire...?"
"Yep, and I never wanted you to find out like this."
"But, why did you hide it from me?"
"Because I didn't want you to know how I'm a beast, and I kill people to survive."
"Natsu...you don't have to kill people. You could get blood from a blood bank."
"But, I have a desire to kill, and it gets worst after resisting it for too long."
"Natsu, you can do this. I know you can. You're the guy who never gives up, and always hate to see people get hurt," I say softly to him.
"But, I'm a monster that hurts people, and that makes it so much worst than other people getting hurt because of other people. I'm the one hurting them, and it kills me to know I'm the one who did it."
"You can do this, you have to resist it. For you're own good, and for others."
"I'll try," he says softly.
"Natsu, what about the body?" I questioned while pointing to the bloody corpse.
"Oh...I need to bury it somewhere."
"Do you do this all the time?" I asked quietly.
"Lucy...yeah, I do," he says while avoiding my eyes.
"Natsu, look at me. I'm not afraid of you. I know you're the Natsu Dragoneel that protects the people he loves, hates seeing people get hurt, and the bright, cheerful idiot that's my best friend."
And for some reason...I felt my heart clench up at best friend. He was looking cheerful when I said that, but his smile disappeared as quickly as it came.
"Natsu, are you okay?"
"Yeah, lets bury the body," he states while picking the body, and going towards the woods.
I follow after him, and we go deep into the forest before stopping. He gets a shovel out of his pack of things I never noticed until now. The said male started digging out a deep hole, and climbed back out when he thought that was enough.
"Okay...now let's lower the body," he says while picking up the body.
I took apart in it, and we lowered the body slowly. Once it fell down the hole he dug, he started covering it with dirt he dug up. Once he was finished, he looked at me, and I saw his black gleaming orbs again.
"Natsu...are you the only one that's a vampire?"
"No," he answers.
"Who else is a vampire?"
"Erza, Gray, and Juvia," he answers simply.
I open my mouth to ask something else, but nothing comes out. I process the information he gives me, and questions myself that how come I never noticed. I wonder what else my closest friends are hiding from me.
"We should get back," Natsu tells me while getting up, and turning his back to me.
"Okay..." I murmur while getting up, and follow him back to the bar.
We go back into the bar while going to the bathroom to clean up the blood on our hands, and the dirt we acquired from digging. Once I've finished, I got out, and went towards my friends.
"Erza, Juvia, Gray...we need to talk," I said firmly while walking towards a dark corner.
"What is it, Lucy?" Erza asks.
"I know what you are..." I answer quietly.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Gray says casually.
"Stop lying...I know you're vampires," I say while looking at them.
"How?" Juvia questions.
"I saw Natsu with blood all over his mouth while looking for him, and he bit me..." I murmur quietly.
But, for some reason they could hear me.
"Oh...well I guess you should know something. Look, in those books about vampires, the things they say aren't true. Well, most of them aren't. We do burn in the sun, but we have these rings that allow us to roam freely. We don't turn into bats, and we do have heightened senses. We're also stronger than the normal human beings, and faster. When we feed, which is when we drink blood, our eyes turn a different color from our original eye color, and the veins around our eye area are much more visible. We also get hurt by a certain plant, and we can make you do things you wouldn't normally want to do, but this plant also makes you resist to that. Vampires don't get hurt by garlic, and we get tempt by blood so, don't let us smell your blood or else we might not be able to control ourselves. Finally, we heal faster than an average human, and we only die from a stake to the heart." Erza informs me.
"Oh..." was all I could say while processing this information.
"I know its a lot of take in, but you'll have to remember that to survive," Juvia quietly says.
"Wait, what?! There's more of you?" I question in antonishment.
"Yes, but we don't know where they are, and who. So, you have to protect yourself," Gray answers me.
"So, where do I get this so called plant that prevents me to being controlled?"
"Ask Levy." was all Gray says before they left to go back to their table.
I went towards Levy, and Cana. I tapped on Levy's shoulder, and asked her to come with me for a second. Once I got her back to where I was with the other three, she asked me what do I want.
"How do you know Gray, Erza, Juvia, and Natsu are vampires? Also, why are you guys keeping it from me?" I voice with hurt in my voice.
"It's because I'm a witch, and we're keeping it from you is because we don't want you to be afraid of us. We don't want you to tell everyone, and have us killed," Levy answered while shaking her head.
"You're a witch...? What? Does Cana know about this? I would never let you guys get killed, your my friends." I strongly state.
"Cana is also a witch, and so, thats how we know."
"What can you do?"
"We can sense things by touching people, and we can use magic from the grimoires. We also channel magic from nature, and there's also one thing you need to know. We aren't immortal like vampires, but we can speed down the aging process," she says while looking up at me.
"I understand, but I'll need time to take in all of this," I say while walking back towards the table.
"Lucy...?" Natsu says while looking at me.
"Natsu, I'm going home for today." I quietly say while turning towards the bar exit.
As I went out the door, all I could think about is the hurt on Natsu's face when I said that. I could feel his stare burning into my back when I walked out. Why was I only the human in my friends? I never asked for this.
But, they're my friends still. With supernatural powers, and I came to look at them in a different light. I know its selfish of me, but I never thought about vampires and witches. When I got back into my apartment, I just threw my bag down, and threw myself in my bed.
I'll think about this later, but for now, I just want to forget everything. I want to forget Natsu's hurt on his face. I want to forget what my friends really are. I want to go back to where I was before. But, I can't change what I know already.
I drifted off with those thoughts.
And done! My next chapter of What are you?
