The Aswang (æ·swang) is a flesh-eating, shape-shifting monster. During the day, Aswangs appear as regular townspeople, though they may be observed by others to have reclusive habits or magical abilities. At night, Aswangs shift into eerie predatory forms and go hunting for human prey, preferring to feast on children and pregnant women above all else.

Like, really. I almost gave myself nightmares by looking at this creature up. I hope you guys love this chapter. See you at the end of this one too.

It's amazing how much could happen when a couple of days pass by. Both Jellal and Lucy question the Court's discussion when it came to their new comrades. She wasn't pleased when it turned out that surrounding the town, houses appeared as homes for the Fairy Tail guild.

After Marvko returned, he undid the spell and now they have a large guild of people that know magic. Not it was up to Jellal, Cobra and herself to train these new mages in order for them to join the Tamers. Jellal already left to three days ago. Taking with him, Laxus, Mira, Cana, Juvia and Gajeel to get there Panthers.

She's been taking Erza, Gray, Wendy, and Natsu. Just saying his name in her thoughts sent a shiver down her spine. It was like saying something you really shouldn't but couldn't help it. He was the one she avoided the most.

He was too touchy for her taste.

Didn't stop the fool. More than once, she had to stop Nova from clawing his face off. Shivering, she pushed him out of her thoughts.

She was on portal tonight. No need for him to be in her thoughts

Feeling the smooth movements of Nova prowling as they staked the night. And since Jellal was out on his own mission, it was up to her to defend the town. Along with her spirts.

"Princess."

Snapping her head towards Virgo, she only jumped at her appearance. "You scared me." She whispered as she felt her heart gallop a mile away.

"Punishment princess." That starry look only had Lucy shaking her head. The pink-haired woman only pouted as she once again adopted the blank look Lucy was used too. "I sense something towards the east."

Glancing at her, Lucy stretched her magic out, letting it feel for anything. What she felt only had her stiffen. "Help them." She didn't even need to summon Loke as she felt him respond to her orders with the tattoo on her back.

Kicking her heels on Nova's flank, they raced towards the east. How they missed it, she'll never know, but it was a mistake on her part. One she'll never forgive herself. Within seconds, they reached the spot, Lucy summoning her whip as she let her magic pool onto it as it glowed blue and gold.

With a flick of her wrist, she struck the Aswang. They were like vampires but worse. Three of them crawled on all fours as they flicked their long snake-like tongue as they scream in rage. She could see their spine pop out as their mouths open only to see a place hole with razer shape teeth. Long black hair that was tangled and in knots. Skin as pale as the moon as they crawled towards her with a speed that sent a shiver down her spine.

Summoning one of her two large double axes, Lucy aimed and throw the weapon. It hit with a sickening sound of bones and flesh was cut through. With her whip grasped in her other hand, she flicked it as she watched it wrapped around the second Awang. Swinging her arm she swung her arm as it crashed into the other one. Wanting to finish them, she summons the other ax and throws it. Sounds of bones snapping were sickening as they screamed in pain.

Loke shot a bolt of light at them to finish the job. It was always better to at least make sure they stayed dead. "How did I miss this?" She question as she looked at the once pregnant woman. Her once big belly cut open as she saw what was left of the baby.

Feeling the crawl of her dinner coming up, Lucy throw herself off Nova and rushed to the side as she throws up her dinner. The ache feels that spiked was all she needed to refocus on her job. Even if she wanted to cry for the loss.

Loke silently handed her a small cloth to whip her mouth and water to wash out her mouth. "Thanks." She replied weakly as she quickly washed out her mouth.

"Perhaps it's a good thing a guild is forming here." He said as he looked around, listening to their surroundings, "It'll be safer and easier to keep everyone safe."

"True." She agreed as she nodded. Moving back to Nova, she climbed back on as she listens to anymore Aswang around the area. It was at that second, she heard the gut retching noise of a cross of a scream of a human and the sound of an animal in pain.

Snapping her head towards the noise, Lucy's eyes widen as she saw something that almost had her puking again. An Aswang stood before her. How she didn't hear it or see it move near her was one she'll never know.

But the Aswang that stood, crawled to her was one that has six sets of arms, long pale white fingers that have long nails dried with blood and dirt. Its back legs bend in a way that was humanly impossible to do, its body clocked in a gray shadowy smoke that also made it impossible to see, it's head clear of any hair but like the other type of Aswang Lucy's seen. Black spots covered the top of its head, black soulless eyes bore into her, making her unease. Mouth wide open as long yellow teeth poked out, making it impossible for it to close its mouth all the way.

Most alarming about it was its skin tone, a gray-white tone that had dread turning her face pale as she realized she was in danger of being killed. While yes this was an Aswang, but this kind! This kind of Aswang was faster, smarter in a way that most Tamers hoped never to bump into. Most only have a set of arms or two, but this one has a set of six altogether.

Sending Virgo away, she summoned Taurus in his full armor as well as summoning Loke in his. Her body glowed a bright gold as she summons Scorpio Star Dress since she had better armor when it came to his. Not wanting Nova to be left out, a chest plate with a neck shield as well as bands of armor appeared on her hind legs and front legs to protect her.

"Lucy," Loke whispered as he and Taurus both took stands in front of her.

Not giving him an answer, they stood in stands, waiting for the other to move. It felt like hours but really only seconds as it opens its mouth and screamed. It shrieked loud, feeling like it was going through her chest, her bones ached as the pitch of its scream grows. As it screamed, another screamed joined, and another.

From the shadows of the trees, another joined and another. Each different from the other as they stood behind the first one. However, it was the fourth one that sent fear into her heart as it stepped into the moonlight.

Lastly standing taller than the other three. This creature was different and mostly lived up in the mountain areas. What it was going here, Lucy wasn't sure? They mostly lived in small flocks She could tell it was a young one. It wasn't as tall as an adult one but if that were the case, she was in luck. Well, as lucky as she could get.

Standing on its two hind legs, its four arms holding the grip of a person long dead, one set of its arms bigger and longer than the other set, which held the human. Its pale snake-like tail lashing behind, a pair of black large wings rested in its shoulders as the head of a crow stared back at her.

Its white eyes only making her heart skip a beat as it makes a small sound as it stared back at her. She was in trouble. And way out of her field here. At that second, she felt it. Her heart beating a mile along as she felt three other types of magic. One's she was familiar with.

Behind her, she felt Sting, Rogue, and Yukino. The creatures shrieked as they drew back and ran back into the forest. That alone had Lucy's eyes widen as they ran. They were thinking. Able to know they wouldn't be able to take on all four of them if they stayed.

Sting cursed as he reached her, his black Hound Panther hissed as its white teeth flashed. Rogue gray Hound Panther growled as she tail lashed around. Yukino yellow Snake Panther, shy but would attack when pushed only stared at where the creatures ran. "We can help out since we hear that you and Jellal were going to be staying at this base for now on."

Lucy only glared as she motion for them to portal the rest of the town. She forgot what a pain the ass Sting was. She had Virgo bury the woman as they left. But all four didn't want to even think of what the creatures just pulled since it was still night out. But even then, Lucy knew something was going to happen.

She just hoped by then, the rest would be trained enough to live through this.

I know. It's been a long time since I posted a chapter, but stuff has been happening at home. I've just been working to save up to move out of state and buy a house. As you can see, shit has been happening like my car breaking down. BAM. There go my savings. BAM. My dog needs her shots. BAM. There goes my car again. As you can see, I'm poor as dirt and still nowhere near my goal. But fear not, I'm not giving up.

Also, thanks to all of you leaving commants and likes. It makes my day knowing someone likes my writing. Also, keep in mind, i happening fixed anything errors yet. I just saw I had this already done and figured I should post it.

So until next time my Tamers.
