Who am I?

Chapter two: I am human!

Hey guys, I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters in this story, they are the work of Hiro Mashima, anyway, enjoy and don't forget to review, by the way, the art is from a person called Rboz.

Levy huffed as she looked down at her books, she'd finally sent of her paper but now she still couldn't concentrate on her book, why had that vampire called her a siren, she wasn't one, she'd know if she was because guys would be crawling all over her. But they weren't. She looked over at her close friend, her only friend, the witch, Lucy who was at that moment making a love potion for the siren Juvia who wanted the abominable snowman that was Gray to love he. Around Lucy, Levy could keep her contacts out so she was comfortable in keeping her golden eyes on show, in fact, Lucy loved them.

Lucy was very pretty, she had long, blonde hair and an hour glass figure with all of the features to match, she was average height and also very very magic, there wasn't a spell that woman couldn't do and some of the songs to the spells were enchanting. The blonde looked up at Levy with a smile, her brown eyes looking concerned as she gently stirred the pink liquid in the tiny, metal pot the one her mother had left her... along with a handful of wisps names after the Zodiac signs.

"Are you okay Lev' you look troubled?" She questioned and Levy shrugged, putting down her text book as she walked over to the witch and sniffing up the potion. It smelt like old parchment and ink with some spices, making her head spin a little. "You smell the things that attract you, honestly, that J.K Rowling has one great imagination...!" Lucy smiled and Levy nodded, suddenly the vampire, Gajeel, he appeared in front of her, making her gasp lightly before the wind blew his silhouette away. "You also see the person you're attracted to..." she added and Levy gulped. "See anyone in particular?" Lucy asked.

"Nope... j-just mountains of books!" Levy lied, her cheeks flushed as red as the vampires eyes and she shook her head, she would not be attracted to someone that wanted to eat her... Literally.

"Why does that not surprise me with you... honestly, you need to get out there before you become a crazy cat lady..." Lucy laughed and Levy rolled her eyes. "Did you smell anything by the way?" Lucy asked and Levy nodded.

"Yeah, old books, ink and spices... like Christmas ones... I always loved them sort!" Levy smiled and Lucy punched the air, doing a slight victory dance in her yellow dress.

"That means it works, now I just have to get a vile of it in some of Grays food..." she pondered and Levy rolled her eyes, Lucy loved match making people that is why Levy was not going to tell her about the vampire from before. "Oh, Natsu and his cousin are coming round today... we're gonna play Mario cart, you up for it?" The blonde asked and Levy groaned, Natsu was Lucys vampire boyfriend, he was nice but still a blood sucker all the same.

"Yeah... I'll play for a little while, who's his cousin?" Levy asked as she sat back down and began reading again though none of the words were actually registering.

"His name is... Gaaajeel, I think, I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it right, he owns the library with his uncle, Lily and little sister Wendy..." Lucy explained and Levys heart began to thud quickly, almost like she was having a heart attack and she gulped.

"G-Gajeel... that's a strange name..." She said, says the one called Levy... she thought to herself as she quickly hid her blushing face behind her book.

"I know right, that's exactly what I said, they should be here any minute now actually, it's almost nine..." Lucy blurted and Levy wanted to run and hide but she took a deep breath. Calm down, it might not be the same guy! she pondered then groaned. And how many guys are called Gajeel... that are vampires and own a freaking library!... that's what I thought! The little voice in her head stated. Just on time, the doorbell to their apartment rang and Levy hid behind her book, not wanting to see his face because then he'd see her and there would be so many pressing questions from Lucy that she couldn't answer. "They're here!" Lucy smiled, Levy wasn't even looking and she could tell her love stricken friend was smiling, she heard the door click open and she sighed.

"Hey gorgeous, how is my little witch?" Natsu's voice asked and there was the sound of a kiss and an agonised groan of annoyance.

"Could you do me a favour and not suck faces while I'm right behind you?" Came his deep voice and her heart began to pound, it was him, he may not have sounded so posh but it was most certainly him. Slowly, she put her book down and their eyes met, making her gasp as his red eyes locked with hers and she bit her lip, he was even more beautiful than in the library. She was kind of glad she'd gotten changed now, she'd gone in the shower about an hour ago and now sat in a pair of black leggings, fluffy white socks, a white long jumper that came over her butt and had a white banana pinning back her blue bangs. "Why hello again, beautiful..." he purred and she blushed as she glanced at Lucy and her pink haired partner who raised there brows.

"H-hello to you too, Gajeel..." Levy smiled shyly and Lucy gave her the look of you will give me details when they are gone! making Levy sigh as she gave her a tiny nod.

"Well... I was going to introduce you to but apparently you've met so Luce... this is Gajeel, my cousin... well half cousin but it's not the point!" He grinned and Gajeel scoffed.

"It is the point, I don't want people thinking I'm related to an imbecile like yourself!" He growled in a deep voice and Natsu just chuckled with a dismissive wave of his hand like he didn't even care about the insult that was so clearly said with truth.

"It's nice to meet you, Gajeel... please, take a seat, I'll bring us some drinks in a minute and Natsu behave!" Lucy said sternly and the pink haired vampire just grinned as he winked at her. Natsu wasn't as tall as Gajeel or as well built but he still had quite a bit of muscle and he was slightly tanned with black eyes and short, spiked, salmon coloured hair.

"So... little one... I'm starting to think this is fate...!" Gajeel grinned as he slumped down beside her and she bit her lip, he'd changed his T-shirt to a plain black one but he still had his dark jeans on and converse trainers.

"I don't believe in fate... it's just a pure coincidence..." Levy mumbled as she looked back down at her book, hiding her reddening cheeks.

"Well I do and I still believe you are not human... in fact, I spoke with my uncle today about you and even he says so and he would know... he's been around longer than me or Natsu!" Gajeel explained and Levy rolled her eyes.

"For the last time, I am human, I'm as human as little Ms. Porlyusica down stairs!" Levy snapped and Lucy coughed, holding several cans of coke.

"By the way... she's a witch... so not human" the blonde put in and Levy sighed. She lived in an apartment mainly made up of creatures from Eleri and Mitski so she thought it was great that the little, mardy old lady was human but apparently not.

"W-well, either way... I'm human, I know I am and what I know and you believe are two different things!" Levy snapped and Gajeel scoffed as he opened his can with his large fang and began guzzling it down as Levy took the top between her fingers and pushed it open. The can hissed and she sipped at the fizzy liquid that made it's way down her throat and she looked at Lucy who was practically sat on Natsu on the other couch as she wiggled her blonde eyebrow, making Levy shake her head.

"You know, you defend yourself a lot for someone who thinks they're human..." Natsu said and she scowled at him as she sipped at her drink.

"I am human, that's the point, I shouldn't have to defend myself... I don't want to be..." she didn't finish her sentence as she looked down.

"Like us?" Lucy questioned and she looked up to see her friends hurt face and she let out an annoyed sigh as she slammed her book closed.

"Yes... I want to be human because that is what I am... I don't know anything about being something from Eleri or Mitski, I don't... I don't know anything about... being human either okay... just... leave me alone!" She said, looking down in anger as she stormed out of the room, feeling her gut clenching as she slammed her door shut and slid down the door. She was human but she also felt... she felt like something else and that scared her... she wanted to be human to be normal but it felt like she didn't belong and she didn't know what to do. Levy sniffled back the tears and aching in her heart, standing up and sitting on the edge of her bed, at such a young age she had to learn to deal with being pushed out... being different. Heck... her real parents left her on the doorstep of a cabin, somewhere remote and secluded, she could have been murdered but that apparently didn't go through their minds. She was abandoned for no doubt, being different which hurt more than anything, even her adopted parents only kept her out of pity, they treat her like a burden, that's why she moved so far away. Even then it didn't stop until she got contacts, she was only accepted when she looked like someone else, when she looked normal and she hated it. Her hands began tightening on the bed sheets as she bit back the tears, all of the pent up frustration was bursting at the seams, making her shake as tears dripped down her porcelain face and she let out a small sob. She stood up, going to her desk as slamming her hands on the wood. Why can't I be normal!? She snapped to no one, viciously sliding her hands across the desk, pushing it's content on to the floor, even her laptop that fell with a thud and something broke inside of her... her heart maybe. Her rage was spilling out like someone trying to contain water on their hands, overflowing like a waterfall as she threw her books. Why don't I belong here!? She cried, pushing her bookshelf over and it fell against the door with a thick thud, the books spilling across the floor. I don't want to be this way any more! She yelled inside her head ripping away her pictures as throwing them against the walls, the frames smashing, glass shattering against the wall and she picked up her lampshade, thrusting it down at the floor, the pot of it smashing and the splintering glass flew away like and explosion, part of it cutting her leg ever so slightly but her rage made her numb and she heard banging at the door.

"Levy... Levy are you okay, let me in!?" She heard Lucys worried voice yell and her door handle was being shaken violently. Levy didn't want her to see her this way and she picked up her nearest book, throwing it at the door and there was a loud thud as it partially cracked the door, behind it was a light scream.

"Leave me alone!" She shouted angrily, her breath coming out ragged and shallow as she looked around at her destruction, her book case was broken, glass was shattered, books were torn and split, her door was cracked, her laptop was broken, everything was a mess, just like she felt. Her anger had ebbed but now... she just wanted to cry until she could no longer make a sound which was what she was going to do until her window was opened, letting in a gust of air and he looked around.

"Wow little one... you really know how to do some damage...!" He laughed and she looked down ashamed, as the pain in her leg grew but she ignored it as she limped over to the bed.

"How did you get in here?" She asked, knowing it was through the fire escape but she wanted to hear him say it, something about his presence seemed to calm her mind slightly.

"Fire escape... so... do you want to talk about it...?" He asked and she shook her head. She most certainly din't especially to a vampire who didn't even know her and was low key the cause of her outburst.

"No... I want to be left alone..." she whispered, though she knew he'd hear her even if she breathed those words and she looked down at the books strewn across the floor like fallen soldiers.

"No one wanted to be alone sweet heart...trust me... I've had years of being alone... it never gets easier..." he said effortlessly picking up her book case and the door opened, Lucy looked inside and held out her hand, not saying a word to Levy put she gave her a sweet smile.

"Desfer el darar!" Lucy spoke and a golden light filled the room, repairing the damaged items in the room and putting them in the right places before it ebbed and Levy smiled thankfully at her, Lucy only nodded and shut the door, leaving her with Gajeel who was leaning, crossed arms against the now, full book case.

"She cares about you... we all do so why won't you talk to us...?" He asked and Levy scoffed, Lucy yes... Natsu maybe but him... he barely knew her, they'd met that day.

"This isn't a fairy tale, you don't give a damn about me... you met me today, just because you feel that I'm pretty or that I have cool eyes doesn't mean you care... you just want my blood..." she answered and he let out an angry growl.

"Yes I'm aware we've only just met but as soon as I laid eyes on you... even before you took out your fake eyes... I felt something okay and no it isn't because you're pretty... you smell like summer and life... you smell like flowers fresh in bloom, I can't keep you off of my mind and I do want your blood, it's been singing for my tongue ever since I smelt your scent in the library but the reason I haven't had it is because I don't want it... because I care about you!" He snapped and she gulped as she looked at him and he looked down at her legs and covered the bottom of his face.

"Go ahead... since it's what you want... bite me... and when you don't return after well... I won't be able to say I told you so!" She snapped and he stepped back as she stepped forwards.

"Levy do not... I am trying right now and you aren't helping!" He warned and backed into the shelf as she walked up to him her eyes angry and determined.

"Why... you're a vampire aren't you... you don't have a heart so how could you care...?!" She laughed, feeling bitter that he at least belonged to somewhere and he growled, holding on to her shoulders to keep her at a length. "Come on, Gajeel... it's right here..." she pressed, turning her head to show him her smooth neck and he groaned.

"Stop it... I don't want to hurt you..." he said in a low and shaking voice, like he was barely hanging on and she began to get frustrated.

"Why won't you just bite me... it's what you want right... you want to drink every last drop of my blood... so stop being a coward and just do it!?" She snapped and there was a snarl as he crushed his lips to hers, her eyes going wide as she made a muffled surprised noise. His lips were soft and gentle, despite the abrupt kiss and he held her by her waist gently pulling her closer as she closed her eyes and moaned softly, relaxing in his grip until he let go and looked down at her.

"Because I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you..." he breathed making her blush and her heart ache because she didn't know if she could say it back...
