The fight gave off a very loud noise which didn't go unnoticed by the human passengers in the other cart. One of the train crew members decided to look into it, Juvia tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen. In about five minutes he was thrown back into their cart along with a door that had been broken off. All the passengers started to panic and run or jump for their lives. Juvia and Wendy just stayed seated and calm, the little girl considered running as well but Juvia assured her that everything was under control. However plans changed when one of the vampires fighting with Lucy and the boys managed to get onto the cart. His evil eyes were pointed directly at Wendy.

"Hey you!" He called over to Juvia. "Hand over the kid, sister and maybe I'll just give you a little nip instead of a whole bite."

Juvia felt a shiver down her spine as he bared his fangs at her. But instead of giving into his demands she shielded Wendy with one arm and used the other to pull out her gun which she aimed at him.

"Not going to happen."

She fired a shot but he dodged the bullet with his incredible speed. She continued to shoot at him but he kept dodging each bullet fired. One bullet bounced off the surface and grazed some skin on her arm. It wasn't serious but it was enough to draw blood.

"You're feisty for a nun." He said approaching them quickly and knocking her gun away. "I commend you for putting up a fight which most women like you are too meek to do but I have a job to do and you're in the way."

He reached for Wendy but Juvia blocked him the best way she could.

"Religious bitch!"

He grabbed her arm with the intention of throwing her down and drinking her dry but when he grabbed her other arm which was bleeding he screeched in agony and released her. He tried to grab her bloodied arm again and again but the result was always the same. The very moment her blood made contact with his skin it burned him like an acid.

"Your blood burned me!" He hissed. "Just what the hell are you?!"

However he was interrupted by a wooden stake that was fired into his back, ending straight into his heart. He dropped to the floor dead and they saw that the wooden stake came from Natsu's crossbow.

"You two alright?" He asked them.

"We're fine." Juvia said. "He didn't touch Wendy."

"You're bleeding." He said looking at the blood streaming down her left arm.

"This...This doesn't make you thirsty does it?" She tried to hide her arm.

"No. No I've got self control. Erza gave me like three pints before we came here but we should really dress that wound before the scent attracts someone else like me." He took off the scarf he was wearing. "Here I'll help you bind that until we get back."

But when he tried to bind it his hands were burned by her blood as well.

"Ahhh!" He shouted.

"I'm sorry!" She cried. "I didn't mean it! I swear!"

He looked down at his hands. The skin was either melted or charred. It would heal in a day or two but what stunned him was how it happened.

"That's what happened to the other vampire too." Wendy said. "When he tried to touch her he got burned."

"How did you do that?" Natsu asked Juvia.

"I don't know." She answered. "I didn't burn him. At least I don't think I did."

When Lucy and Gray made it into the cart they explained what happened and Lucy binded Juvia's wound up. After that they went back to the organization taking Wendy with them. Both Natsu and Juvia's wounds were tended to but Erza took a blood sample from the nun to study it and figure out what it was about hers that served as an acid to vampire skin. The results were something most bizarre.

"It's fascinating really." She told them once the results came back. "It would seem that Juvia's blood carries holy water, that's why vampires can't touch it."

Upon hearing this, Gray looked over at Juvia in shock and disbelief. But it wasn't over the fact that such blood existed. In fact he knew from personal experience that there could be people with blood like hers. However his reason for staring was that she herself possessed that blood type and it made him worried because in a way it provided evidence for a theory he had about Juvia that he hoped wasn't true. Now Juvia didn't notice him staring at her in that way and neither did Natsu or Lucy, but Erza did.

"That's crazy." Natsu said. "How does someone have holy water in their blood system?"

"It is puzzling and I don't know how it's possible but D.N.A doesn't lie. Every drop of her blood is mixed with water that holds the blessing of the holy spirit."

"So does that mean some priest injected holy water into your system?" Natsu asked Juvia.

"I don't recall anything like that happening. I suppose I was born with blood like this."

"You're positive this was something you were born with?" Gray asked. "No injections? Notransfusions? No mutations? Nothing like that?"

"I don't know. I don't remember ever getting any injections and blood transfusions. The only one who probably know for sure if I was born with my blood like this is Gajeel. He's been present during all my check ups and medical tests ever since I was a baby."

"Alright I'll make a note to talk to him about it later." Erza looked at Gray suspiciously when he said that. "For research purposes."

"I see. That aside how did things go on the train?" Erza asked.

"No humans were killed." Natsu reported. "But those animals weren't there for another feeding. They were after a kid who was a passenger aboard."

"Where is she now?"

"We brought her with us. Right now she's in the waiting room and she's a little rattled by what's happened."

"Did she say why the vampires were after her?"

"No."

"She mentioned it to me." Juvia said.

"What did she say?"

"She couldn't say for sure why they were after her but she figured that it had something to do with what she was."

"What do you mean?" Gray asked. "What is she?"

"She said that she was half human half vampire."

"A dhampir?" Erza deduced. "Those are rare."

"No kidding." Natsu said. "I haven't seen one of those in centuries."

"What's a dhampir?" Lucy asked.

"It's a child born of a union between a vampire and human." Erza explained. "They're extremely rare due to the fact that most vampires are repulsed at the idea of loving or even getting sexual with a human, but not completely unheard of."

"Okay I agree with you on the loving part but what do you mean sexual?" Natsu asked. "There have been plenty of vampires who seduce or rape human victims."

"Yes but how many of them do you know let them stay human? Usually when vampires use humans in a sexual act they'll turn them in the process. However with this little girl it's not the same case. Her human parent was allowed to stay human and thus resulting in a half human child being conceived."

"But what kind of vampire would let their victim stay human if they can?" Gray asked.

"Well usually it's because of love." Erza said. "It's not entirely impossible for a vampire to love a human nor is it impossible for a human to love a vampire. Now those are rare cases but not impossible ones."

"Fair enough but what would this Regine person want with a dhmapir? Creatures like her will consider full fledged vampires useless if they started out human so why set her sights on one that's only half?"

"I don't know. It is a bit odd for nosferatu like her to target a dhmapir but until we find out more about her plans I suggest we keep this child in our protective custody."

"What about her family?" Juvia asked.

"If she has one we'll contact them and bring them here."

"If she has a family?" Lucy said.

"Dhmapirs typically don't have either one of their parents with them. The human one usually ends up killed while the vampire one just disappears. She's likely an orphan but then again maybe she has human relatives who have looked after her or maybe her human parent is still alive. We'll have to ask her. In fact Natsu bring her in so that I may ask her some questions."

"Right." He said getting up from his seat and leaving the room to get Wendy.
