One kiss at a time

Chapter two: Resistance

I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters in this story, they are the work of Hiro Mashima, anyways, here is my first, proper, multi chapter story, hope you like it and don't forget to review :3 photo by an artist called Blanania.

Her head was spinning like a top as she woke up... her stomach felt like she hadn't eaten for days and she blinked at the dim light of the room. Wait... where was she?! In a panic, she shot up, staring around the room and she heard chains rattled, the heavy metal was cold against her ankle and she pulled back the dark, brown blankets, seeing the metal shackle clasped around her thin leg. Levy's heart was racing painfully as she took in her surroundings, okay, she was in a bedroom and she was still alive, that was a good sign. She got up shakily from the bed, her legs felt weak and she turned her head, feeling the ache on her neck and she went to rub it, feeling the gauze stuck to her skin. Oh, that was right, she was attacked... but why was she alive? It didn't make sense and she didn't like that one bit. With a slow sigh to calm her nerves she saw that the chain was attached to another chain on the metal frame of the bed, to tangled to remove. This person really didn't want her leaving which was unsettling, she looked around, attempting to find something to use as a weapon, the wardrobe was to far away but there was small bedside table next to her. Levy searched the first drawer, seeing nothing but oddments, a watch, a cross... why would a vampire have a cross? A photo, it was of a young boy and a woman, the photo was grey and white and they both looked very happy. The woman was tall, slender and very beautiful, her long, dark hair fell down her shoulder and she wore a light, shapeless dress with short sleeves, the little boy was in a white suite and his eyes looked slightly frightened but his smile was bright and large. She put the photo back and searched the second draw, finding a pencil, it was sharp enough and she tucked it in to her leggings, looking down she saw her blood soaked top and gasped, it looked like she had been murdered! Levy shook her head and pressed on, finding a gun with bullets in but they were normal bullets, human killing bullets, they wouldn't so much as even scratch a vampires. She got to the bottom drawer and found her metal stake just as the door flung open and she held it up cautiously.

"You're not going to kill me..." he said in a monotone voice as he entered the room and she glared at the vampire that had bitten her, his cloak was off and she saw the three slash scars on his arms, vampires didn't get scars... which meant he had been turned.

"And why am I not going to do that?!" She snapped and watched as he placed a tray of food on the bed, vampires didn't eat so was that food for her? Her golden eyes lit up at the sight of fresh fruit, they were like a delicacy back home, not to mention a ham and salad sandwich and a glass of fresh orange juice, oh god her stomach was grumbling like crazy now.

"Because I'm your protection against the thirteen other soldiers waiting any moment to tear your jugular out and trust me, you don't stand a chance against them... so you're not going to kill me" he told her and she grumbled, he was right but why was he protecting her? Why was he feeding her? None of it was making sense. Her stomach growled again and he motioned towards the food, a studded brow going up in amusement and she glared.

"How do I know you haven't poisoned it... you're a vampire and not to be trusted!?" She growled and he shrugged indifferently.

"Makes no difference to me if you do or do not trust me, starve for all I care!" He said and she peered curiously at him, he was very odd for a vampire. She lowered her guard slowly and walked towards the bed, picking up a grape from the pile and gently putting it in her mouth. As she chewed her stomach ached for more, the sweet taste filled her mouth and she began eating, putting her stake on the bed and happily tucking in to the meal. "So... Levy, what is such a small thing doing fighting vampires like me?" He questioned and she gave him a duh? look, what kind of stupid question was that?

"Because humans aren't cattle and I wont let vampires treat my fellow people like it, my grandfather once told me that we use to live in a time of peace when he was a young boy... I don't understand why it changed but I'll do anything to change it back...!" She grumbled out and she scowled up at the vampire who scoffed in amusement.

"I was there in that time, you humans were taking liberties, using my people for war because we were indestructible, you weren't afraid of us and we should be feared, I could break you like a toothpick, that should terrify you and that is how it should be, we're stronger, better, healthier, we live forever, what do you have that vampires do not!?" He argued and she shook her head in anger.

"Hah, we have a heart... we know what love is, we hold compassion and hope, that is what keeps us going, we may not be as strong as you or quick and we may get sick and die but we will be much more than your kind will ever be... we are human... we are beautiful... we live, we die but in that time we glow brighter than the sun because we make the most of it, we make our own paths and our own dreams and we fight for what we believe in, you... parasites are like a bad dream and just like dreams... you will end by my hand or the generation after, you will be wiped out!" She growled back, standing to face him and he snarled down at her. "And I am not afraid... dying is part of human nature... but I know I've lived, I've helped people, I've seen my loved ones grow up... if I died tomorrow I would die happy and you... you'll die alone... completely and utterly unloved and forgotten!" She spat and the large vampire bared his fangs in anger.

"You're pathetic... you're weak, I could break you so easily an-!"

"Then why haven't you, are you scared... is it because I have a beating heart and you want one... well, why is it that you haven't killed me!?" She yelled at him and he looked at her a little shocked before stepping towards her and she held up the stake. "I may have no protection if I kill you but it would be one more vampire out of the way so stay away from... me..." her voice trailed off as he stared in to her eyes and her mind became foggy. She should have remembered to not look him in the eye! Why had she been so careless, her fingers released the spike and she felt herself glaring at him despite her face becoming emotionless.

"You're not going to kill me... and I won't kill you, for now... you rouse my curiousness so for now, you get to live but make no mistake I will kill you if you threaten me again!" He growled at her, stepping closer and grabbing her by the waist to pull her closer. She didn't know why but her heart was beating a million beats a second and she couldn't think, she could only hear him, like he was her centre of gravity. "Now, you've been asleep for a couple days and I'm dwindling on a low blood supply so be a good pet and let me have a drink..." he whispered, uttering out the words like a dirty secret and she shivered as he bent down, once he broke eyes contact she pushed against him.

"Get your hands off of me, I'm not a walking blood bag!" She yelled and he wrapped his other arm around her elbows, stopping her from moving as he licked the skin of her neck. Levy groaned and shivered, feeling her body heat up at his touch and she kicked, desperately trying to break free but it was no use. Her hazel eyes widened in pain as he ripped the gauze from her neck and sank his fangs in to her flesh, slower this time and she hissed, tears streaming down her face at the pain. It wasn't the first time she had been bitten but the way he bit her, it was almost a tingling pain, like having a hot water being poured over her, it started at the bite then worked it's way down, enveloping her. He growled into her neck as his tongue lapped at the escaping tendrils of blood that fell over her shoulder, she gripped his shirt tightly, her knuckles going white as she tried not to cry and he released his hold. She swayed for a moment, feeling a dizziness sweep over her and she shook her head, immediately regretting it as the fresh bite sent painful shocks down her spine.

"I never thought a human could taste so good...!" He smirked and she scowled up at him as she held her neck, her wiped the drops of her blood from his lips and licked them off his fingers, only smudging it more with his blood stained tongue. She kept her eyes on his forehead, refusing to look directly at him, she had to remember that, to keep her eyes from him and she brought her hand to her neck. It was soaked with the red liquid and she held her hand against the wound, she felt sickened and violated... something about his bite felt almost intimate and she wasn't sure if she liked it or if it was just a made up feeling created by his compulsion.

"You bastard!" She snarled, ducking and grabbing her stake, he reacted quickly jumping backwards as she sliced with it, missing him by half and inch and he raised a brow in amusement.

"Oh, so the little hunter wants to play this game... I should warn you, I don't play fair!" He purred and she hissed, what kind of game was she playing? She wanted to kill him, to see him explode with her stake in-bedded in his skin.

"Shut up, I'm not playing... you're dead, if it's that last thing I do, I'm going to kill you, I'd rather die than be some sort of blood bank for you!" She yelled and ran at him he was expecting the stake and held up his hand arrogantly, that smirk soon fell though as she slid, gliding on her knees and she thrust the stake into his thigh. He growled in pain and she jumped back, her hand coming up to his jaw as he bent to pull the stake out, he was taken by surprise and fell backwards with a groan, blood dripped from his now, broken lips. Once he was on the floor she jumped on top of him, pulling the pencil from her leggings and going to thrust it in his chest. He quickly put his hand up, grabbing her wrist and effortlessly stopping her and squeezing her wrist painfully, Levy groaned and tried to keep hold of the weapon as long as she could but his hold only got tighter and she felt her wrist crack, making her drop the pencil with a yelp.

"Gajeel, the boss wants... to... see... should I tell him you're busy?" Someone said and they both looked up angrily, there was a dark skinned man with a moon shaped scar on his right eye in the doorway. He looked amused as he stared at them both and Levy jumped off of the vampire below now identified as Gajeel, she'd heard his name before and she was actually quite stunned. Gajeel wasn't known to be a vampire who kept humans alive, every story she'd heard was of him slaughtering humans... but there he was, making a game out of the fact she wanted to kill him.

"Ah... Lily, tell him I'll be in there soon, let me just clean up!" He grinned and the dark vampire, Lily nodded before looking at her and winking, then leaving the room. "Well, as much fun as that was, shorty, I've been summoned, behave while I'm gonna and I might give you a treat..." Gajeel teased and she growled at him, she wasn't a pet and she watched as he got up. He didn't hold any decency as he began tugging his shirt off and she stared at him for a moment, angrily appreciating the defined muscles of his torso. She hated how attractive he was considering she wanted to shove her stake through his heart, he coughed and she blinked up at it to see his amused expression and she felt her cheeks flare up. "Enjoying the show?" He grinned and she scoffed, turning away and going to fold her arms when her wrist ached with pain. She hissed as she looked down to the the thick bruise forming on her skin and she cursed, she had to be more careful, after all, she was more fragile than him. With a huff, she walked over to the bed and sat down, her chain rattled all the way and she slumped back with a sigh. She felt dirty and her whole body was groaning in pain and exhaustion, she wanted a warm bath and fresh clothes and more importantly, she wanted to see her friends. Levy chewed her lips as she thought and she listened to Gajeel rustling around before the door opened and closed, she closed her eyes and began making a mental note of plans to escape. If it was the last thing she did... she was going to resist everyone of his actions, she was going to keep fighting until her dying breath. She'd come to far to give up, determination was flowing through her veins as she sat thinking.
