Jellal had already missed ten calls from Lyon when he decided to answer the phone.
"Mr. Fernandes?"
"Lyon, I am busy right now."
"I know and I am sorry to interrupt but something happened."
"What's it?"
"The two humans. The two women from the other night were found trying to break into the mayor's house."
Jellal didn't expect to hear that kind of news. He turned to see his companion, Ultear, who blinked at the change of expression on his face. "I'm on my way." Jellal hung up and told his driver to go back to Magnolia. After the incident with the nightclub, Jellal was summoned by his own boss to Crocus. The reunion with the supreme boss was already over so the vampire wouldn't mind if Jellal went back to Magnolia but Jellal ordered Ultear to leave a message anyway, after all, he would like to be informed about it.
"What happened?" The she-vampire wanted to know.
"We have two guests waiting for us." The vampire smirked as the car turned around and changed route. He would love to have a private conversation with one in particular...
#
From the moment he had bitten her that other night, he didn't stop thinking about her. He would never admit it, though. Not even in his dreams, although they were very good dreams. Gray would love that his erotic dreams came true, however he didn't know what was stopping him. Juvia had been with him for the last couple of weeks but he would only touch her, kiss her here and there and drink her blood. She obbeyed him although they fought a lot, her proposition was still "up".
A knock on his door was enough for him to know that she was there. Minerva opened the door and Juvia entered. She was earlier tonight and the sun still shone outside, but with the roll-up shutter down it didn't matter. Their eyes met and her heart beated a little faster than normal. "Gray-sama." She greeted him and he simply nodded at her, drinking his whiskey. She moved to the bathroom's door, his eyes on her like a lynx watching his prey. He had to surpress the need to slap her rear.
She was ready as she stopped by the door. "Aren't you going to count?" Juvia hadn't given up on the idea of leaving. They agreed that if Juvia was able to reach the door in five seconds, she was free to go. Of course she never did. Gray used his unnatural speed to catch her and if she landed on the ground, he would take her there or if he pressed his body on hers against the wall he would bit her in that position and so on.
During the day, Juvia had plenty of time to think about what she had to do if she wanted to beat him but he was always faster than the previous night and she never made it to the door. She signed and when he put his cup down, she ran. Gray rolled his eyes as he saw the girl pass through him. It was useless, it always was but she hadn't given up yet. It didn't bother him, he liked how entertaining she could be.
"Juvia." She heard him but wouldn't turn around, not until she touched the doorknob. "No!" She screamed as his hand wrapped around her arm, pulling her towards him. She put her hands on his chest, shoving him. "That's not fair!" He didn't move.
"Life isn't fair." He had to tame the girl in front of him before she went under his skin. "Stop moving." It was his time to shove her into the bed. Juvia tried to protest as she landed on the matress. "You didn't count at all!" He linked their hands. "Look at me. Juvia. Look at me!" She did what she was told and found no warmth in his eyes. "You behave yourself. I've got no time for spoiled brats." She tried to kick him. "What's your problem tonight?" Juvia and Erza heard Lucy's screams last night.
"How can Juvia rest knowing that... you can torture her anytime?" She studied her words, she couldn't mention being anything related to Lucy. She didn't look him in the eye anymore. He scowled but he knew what she was talking about. The whole house heard that woman being tortured by Minerva.
"No one will touch you without my consent."
"And since when does Juvia belong to you?"
"Careful, girl." His eyes moved from her eyes to her lips. He could easily silent her, especially tonight that she seemed more feisty. Of course he wouldn't let Minerva touch a hair of Juvia, she was his after all. If he hadn't touched her yet, let's figure if Minerva would...
He captured her lips and at first Juvia didn't answer the kiss. He tried to slip his tongue in but she wouldn't give in. What's her problem? "Kiss me, Juvia." He commanded, annoyed. One of his hand went to her chest and when he squeezed one of her breasts, she opened her mouth and as his tongue invaded his mouth, Juvia was forced to kiss him back.
Gray's kisses were violent but passionate, if that was possible. But tonight Juvia didn't really want to be touched by him. She slept very little last night and she and Erza suffered from Lucy's pain. It was too much. Erza spent the night trying to break free; she was hurting herself and it was all vainly as the cell bars wouldn't melt out of the blue.
"G-gray-sama." Juvia tried to catch his attention as he groped her. She felt his mouth on her jaw and down her neck. Juvia was upset and didn't want to have any fun with Gray tonight and she wanted him to understand it. "Please, not tonight." Hearing her words, he breathed on her neck and soon held off to look at her face. Gray found a sad Juvia with a tear in the corner of her eyes. He was about to say something about her not being in the position to command but her watery eyes got him; it wasn't a sight he wanted to see. He stood up and Juvia quickly dried her tears.
"Don't I treat you well, Juvia?" He went to the drink table.
She nodded, not looking at him.
"Have I ever hit you?" He asked pouring some whiskey in a cup.
She shook her head.
"So there's not reason to be sad. Especially when you do not suffer in my hands." He said in annoyance before taking a sip of his drink. He was really taking in consideration fullfilling one of his erotic dream tonight but Juvia... He wouldn't do that if she wasn't... well, willing.
"It's not about how you treat me, Gray-sama. This whole situation... Juvia wasn't born to be a caged bird." She shrugged, sitting. She wanted so bad to see Lucy and also killed the vampire that made her suffer that there was no place inside her mind to please another vampire. Not tonight.
Gray didn't like what she insinuated. He opened his mouth to answer Juvia when his sharp hearing caught the presence of men running around the house. Suddenly an explosion was heard and it startled Juvia, making her cover her ears and close her eyes. Gray rushed to the door and when he put his head out of the room he saw a vampire running through the corridors shouting something about an invasion.
Without thinking, Gray went back to the room and grabbed Juvia. He pulled the girl by the wrist and opened a door of his wardrope. Juvia was surprised to find that it led to a secret passage. Gray knew that the sun was still up in the sky and although it would soon go down he wouldn't risk. "What's happening?!" Juvia asked, confused as she followed behind him through the narrow passage.
"Humans, probably."
What? Oh, Erza told her about Fairy Tail coming...
"We have to come back!" Juvia suddenly stopped walking but Gray's grip around her wrist made her take a step forward. Gray laughed. "Y-you are s-stronger!" Juvia was trying to come up with some excuses.
"I know."
"Gray-sama, you have to help your f-friends!"
"Friends?" The statement stole another laughter from the vampire. His only friends were possibly the pink haired vampire and his brother with whom he fought all the time. "I don't think so."
"No, you have to!"
"Why? So the sun can burn me to death?" He shouted, turned to face her.
His aggressiveness scared her. She was used to a annoyed Gray but a aggressive one... she suddenly was afraid of him, especially because she could see his red eyes shine in the dark. Gray continued to drag her with him through the tunnel till they reached the underground of the mayor's manor. "Juvia doesn't want to go with you!" She buried her nails on the hand that held her but it didn't seem to affect him. "Let her go!"
"You don't get to choose, Juvia." Tired of her protests, in a blink of eye Juvia found herself being thrown over the vampire's shoulder and as he sped up, she couldn't contain the sobs. Just when she finally was reunited with her friend she saw all of her hopes being dragged away from her as the vampire brought her to another prison in the darkness.
#
Erza didn't sleep, at all. She couldn't. Lucy's screams echoed in her head and all she could do was curse and try to break the bars one more time. Then, when Juvia was taken away from her, she almost went nuts. Apparently, her behavior was noticed by Lyon. Erza was leaning over the bars when Lyon appeared. He could easily break those bars and kill her after what she did to him inside their limo. Lyon cracked his neck.
"Are you here to make me company?"
He smirked at her. "No. Stop messing around, human." He rolled his eyes. He could hear Erza's protest when he fed on a human, slept, worked and it was starting to annoy the vampire.
"Never." She almost spat at him but her hatred didn't allow her to. "I can't wait for the moment all of you will burn."
"Well, keep waiting then." He chuckled.
"What do you want?" Erza looked at him, suspiciously.
"Behave yourself or you will have to face the consequences later."
"Later?"
"Yes. The boss is coming." Jellal Fernandes.
"So, if I continue to bother I get to have a meeting with him?"
"Something like that, but I believe he will want to talk to you anyway."
"Why are you here, Lyon?" He didn't answer immediately. He breathed out and spoke. "What's the name of the bluenette girl?"
Erza stared at him, confused. Was he asking about Juvia?
"Why do you want to know?"
"That's none of your business." He waited for the name. "Don't try my pacience, human." She decided to say it, she could end up like Lucy and she wasn't up for some pain at the moment. "Juvia."
"Juvia." Then she saw him go with his hands in his pockets.
"Thanks!" He said before closing the basement's door behind him.
What does he want with Juvia?
Erza was tired and decided to sit for a while. She signed, she didn't have nothing better to do but... wait. Sooner or later the guild would notice their missing! She had to admit how fortunate they had been this time; they had called Levy and at this rate the whole guild knew where they were. Just a little more and they would soon be there. Suddenly the girls heard a strong noise. "An explosion?" The girls cried out, scared, but Erza knowing who it was, approched the bars and fixed the door. She waited with a victorious smile on her face. Fairy Tail.
#
Master Makarov, the owner of Fairy Tail, was the one to find Erza locked in a cell in the basement of the mayor's house.
"Erza!" Erza had glued her face to the bars, not wanting to miss a thing and as she saw her boss walk through the door with his gun, she never felt happier in seeing the tiny man.
"Boss! We are here!" She waved, passing one of her hands through the bars.
The girls were scarier than ever, not knowing if they could trust the new change of scenario but Erza told them that everything was going to be okay and that now they were safe and were going back to their homes. Some men followed Makarov and helped him open the cages and free the girls. When Erza was finally out of hers, she hugged her boss. "Thank you for coming." He was the closest fathering figure she had and he didn't mind the hug at all. He was really worried when Levy told him what was going on.
"Did you find Lucy and Erza?" Erza breathed out.
"No." Erza looked at him in shock. "They are nowhere to be found."
"No." She whispered, feeling her legs weak.
"Come, let's go home." Makarov said wrapping an arm around her waist before she could fall.
#
Erza didn't go home. She stayed at the guild for the next hours and Levy assisted her. The petite girl hated to see her friend depressed but she knew that it was inevitable. She was also very sad when they told her that Juvia and Lucy were still missing. Where on earth could they be?
Makarov was forced to interrogate Erza for bureaucratic issues and the hunter told her boss everything she knew in every single detail. She mentioned Lucy being tortured and the whole department felt their blood boiling in their veins; no one hurt a member of Fairy Tail and got away with it.
For the next days, the whole house was investigated and even the police was involved; the vice-mayor was missing just like the mayor himself. No one knew their whereabouts but it didn't concern the guild; they job was done, they found the missing girls and although they only wanted to go home, Fairy Tail interrogated them as well but reliving that nightmare was very traumatic; they found out that some of the girls were used as food for the vampires.
Erza sat by her computer with a mug of hot chocolate in hands. She fixed the screen, she didn't know where else to look for. It was all so frustrating that Erza took the mug and threw it across the room, scaring some colleagues. "Erza-chan!"
It was Levy and she brought a piece of strawberry cake for Erza. She didn't touch the cake. "Go home, Erza. Rest. Sleep."
"I can't, Levy."
"Go to the fifth floor and sleep there, then."
"You don't undestand. I can't sleep. Not now." She started typing something and a few files opened on her computer screen. "Did they find the vampires?"
"The sun burned them all. Although some fought with our men inside the house."
Erza said nothing, of course they died. The sky was still bright when the guild attacked. All they knew about some of the vampires were from some of the girls. Erza thought about Lyon. Was he dead as well? She doubted it. Not all of them died, she knew it. Two at least didn't, she was sure. She spent the whole night coming up with hypothesis for her friends' vanishing. Two vampires might have taken them away... She then thought of Jellal Fernandes; he was on his way to the house... Just a little more and she would have talked to him and who knows, killed him with her own hands. "Argh."

Lucy woke up with strong arms around her waist and she was surprised to find the vampire Natsu peacefully breathing on her neck. He had also wrapped his legs in hers and she found herself locked in his embrace. One of his hands rested on her flat stomach and the other was under one of her breasts. She wondered how his hands got there... under her shirt. She blushed. Since when had they become so intimate? "Natsu..."
Natsu was already awake but liked the feeling of having the human in his arms. Not that he hadn't had any other human before but none felt as good as Lucy. He stuck his nose in her hair and inhaled. "Hmmm..."
"Y-you are squeezing me." She said moving in his arms. Her rear happened to be seated on his groin and well, you can imagine what her moving around was doing to him. Suddenly, the memory of licking her blood came to his mind and he found himself hungry. She smelled so good and he only needed to reach for her neck...
"I-I can't breath..." Indeed he was tightening her around his arms.
"Sorry." When she felt his hands slide away from their previous positions, she sat on the bed, with her feet touching the floor. She looked over her shoulder and saw Natsu, the vampire with pink hair, yawned. He sure was a handsome vampire, even with his messy hair.
Her mind was invaded by images of last night and she checked her hands and arms in horror, searching for the proof that last night did happen. She found nothing, Natsu had healed her. What was left were the memories of Minerva torturing her... she'd have to deal with the nightmares later. Signing, she held her head between her hands; although there was any scars, she still could feel Minerva's hands over her body and Lucy trembled at the thought. "No!" She suddenly cried out, holding herself and shaking in fear.
Natsu was surprised at her reaction. "What's the matter?" He tried to calm her, putting a hand on her shoulder but she shout at him not to touch her. She looked at him and when their eyes locked, Natsu understood. "She won't ever touch you again, Luce." Natsu sat as well and was about to pull her in his arms when she stood.
"What do you want from me?" He eyed her, curious. "You healed me and now you want me to pay you back, right? So what do you want?"
Lucy was a strong woman and Natsu could see it. He watched the videos that Lyon showed him the other night; he was fired up watching Lucy jump from the second floor of the nightclub. He reached a hand out to her. "You don't have to be afraid, Luce." Should she trust him? She only wanted to get away from there! Then she reminded his words that no other vampire would be as nice as him. What if her new reaction made him change his mind? Natsu had treated her well and she wouldn't stand another vampire's hand on her... She decided to sit back. "Sorry." She said softly, biting her lower lip.
"Don't worry, I know that you've... been through a lot and I am not helping." He ruffled his hair with his fingers.
"Natsu... you have to help me, I can't stay here."
"What exactly are you, Lucy?" He asked after a awkward silence between the two.
"If I tell you, will you help me?"
Natsu signed. "You are asking for the impossible. You weren't even supposed to be here with me."
"But I am." She rested a hand on his thin.
"I know that you aren't any human. I saw you the other night at the club."
"You were there?"
"No, I saw the video and you did some pretty awesome stuff there."
She blushed. A vampire was amazed that she almost blew the nightclub he attended, that was new. "You are right. I have some special skills." The hand that rested on his thin decided to adventure a little. Natsu gluped when Lucy's body moved closer to his till she was sitting on his lap, both hands on his bar chest (as he went to sleep with only a pair of sweatpants).
"What was that that you wanted, Natsu?" Lucy whispered in his ear, seductively. She shook her hips, gaining a moan from Natsu.
"Luce..." Natsu felt his pants tighten. "I..."
"Tell me, Natsu..." Lucy continued her game nibbling on his earlobe, yanking another moan from the vampire. Natsu closed his eyes, savoring the moment. His hands were steady on her waist. Suddenly, his eyes were wide open. Something was wrong.
"GET DOWN!" Lucy felt a strong pain in the head; she hit it on the nightstand when Natsu threw both of them to the ground. Her head started to spin and the last thing she remembered was Natsu's bewildered face and his fangs. Pointy and white fangs. Lucy closed her eyes, surrendering to the darkness.
