~Fanged Teeth~
-:Chapter Two:-
.
"Mom, are you feeling alright?" a young girl asks her mother. Layla smiles weakly at her daughter.
"I'm fine Lucy, don't worry." laying her hand over her precious girl the woman fumbled with something inside the bedside table's drawer. "My little Lucy, you have to listen carefully to me."
Lucy looks at her mother with a confused expression.
"To what, mother?"
"Before you were born, I met people, bad people Lucy." Layla paused, coughing.
"Mother, don't talk."
"No, you need to know this." the mother to the girl cut her off. "I want you to take this necklace and go to Chestwood Forest, tonight."
"B-But… how about you?" Layla shook her head.
"I'll not be able to come with you." the older woman whispered. "Those people who I swore to give…"
"Give… what?" Lucy asks, her eyes filled with tears. "Mother, please tell me!"
"I'm sorry, dear… but I can't tell you more than you're his."
"His? What am I?"
"…"
"Mother?" Layla opened her eyes, barely managing on having the eyelids open.
"Take this… Chestwood Forest…" tears rolls down the young girl's face. "It's… my last wish for you to… fulfill for what I pro-mised… them.." Layla breathed and laid the necklace in Lucy's palm, closing it with laying her own hand over. "And now… promise me Lucy… that you Lucky Lucy… will do as I say…"
Not being able to utter a word without having her voice breaking into sobs, the young woman nodded with tears running down her sides. Layla smiled and closed her eyes.
"Mother?" Lucy looks up, feeling how her mother's hand slides off hers. Falling limply to the side on the bed's white sheets. "No… mother! Don't leave me here!"
That day, Layla Heartphilia, wife to Judo and mother to Lucy Heartphilia leaved earth to live with her husband in heaven. Leaving her daughter all alone, but not without watch over the young girl.
Out in the Chestwood Forest's dark shadows stood a man with ebony colored hair and red eyes. Arms crossed and those eyes of his hidden behind the eyelids. A saddened break of a branch made him open one eye and scan the area. The scent of death and ashes made him push of the tree's body, standing straight.
"What brings you here, Erza?" the man asks the woman who walks out from behind a tree.
"Just going for a walk." she answers shortly. "Besides, this is the only time we can go outside."
"True, but now… tell me why you're here in the first place."
"She have died."
The man's eyes widened. Erza crossed her arms slowly.
"But her daughter is alive and she have the pendant."
"So you're out here to… you know?"
"No Gray, it's he who will do it." Gray turned his face silently up to the starry sky. "Gray?"
"He haven't been awake for years… and there is no telling if he's alive or not." the ebony haired man said and glances at the scarlet haired woman before him. Erza's eyes flared with a murderous light.
"He's alive or else he would have turned to ashes." Gray realized what she just said were true.
"You're right… but.." Erza watched the man lean against the tree again. "I saw something…"
"Gray, you have the power to see a small clip of the future… and I hope you haven't seen his yet.." Gray lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
"I have…" Erza's eyes widens.
"You can't mean… no, the blood sacrifice will help him live for hundred of years longer."
"There is something coming in the way."
"What did you say."
"I said; something is coming in the way between him and her." the ebony haired man repeated, his red eyes for a short moment flashed in yellow. His face tensed and he clutched at his head like he is in pain.
"Gray!" Erza ran over to her friends side when he fell down on his knees. Laying a hand on his shoulder she heard his breath in long and heavy hales.
"She's here."
Inside a dark room, lays a lonely figure on a bed with white and red sheets. His skin with the color of ashes slowly started to fill with a more pearl like shade of color. The dark rings under his eyes changing from dark blue to grey. Nails sharpening, teeth likewise. Hair going from pale red to a more scarlet-pink color. His thin body starts to build up muscles underneath the pale skin.
Clothes appearing slowly, covering his naked body from top to toe. A chain with an pendant formed as a new moon, the color of gold gleamed in the light of torches. Rings slowly flew from their places on a shell not far away from the bed and nestled around his fingers. Those chains that held him attached to the walls faded away, leaving his wrists to free to get with golden bands around them instead of the black metal.
The last of the red coat with golden sides were completed and a explosion of white fog filled the room.
A pair of golden red eyes shone in the white fume and a dark shadow slowly rose up.
"Finally…" a raspy man voice cut through the room's silence atmosphere. The man raised a arm and swishes it through the fog which flew to the sides, leaving a dark gestalt to slowly appear from the shadows. "The great lord of your is back…" the voice laughed. And soon, the man laughed and extended his arms up in the air. "Haha! My power! My power is getting stronger!" his head tipped backwards while dark laughs echoed through the empty castle on the hill.
The man took a step forward, followed by another. A big smirk formed on his pale lips and the lips pulled back at the move so his canines showed.
"Maybe I'll go for a hunt?" he said to himself and walked towards the room's only door and opened it.
SMASH
"What the hell?" the man said, his face flat against something invisible. "What is this!" he roared, anger filled his body together with that enormous amount of strength he possess.
With no one to answer his roars of rage and hatred echoed in the castles empty corridors.
"LET ME OUT!"
