I'm soooooo sorry for the long wait, i've been grounded and in Galveston with my bff! I hope you all enjoy this chapter, i loved this chapter but thats my opinion! This has some blood in it so i'm just saying now: DON'T FREAK OUT! THERE IS A REASON TO THIS! Enjoy~
Instead I just kept walking, slowly unzipping the front of my messenger bag. My heart started racing as the smell of iron and rot hit my nose, making me cough and walk faster. The footsteps grew nearer, my breath coming in short gasps as I broke out into a run.
Shadows dances across the dirt path, the branches overhead reaching towards me as I brushed against them, the moons rays hidden by the thick canopy of leaves. The smell grew stronger, and my body felt like brick were trailing behind me, slowly sapping my energy to run.
I was so distracted by the smell that I eventually tripped, my fall was not graceful or less painful than any other fall, my bag and the bacon I was carrying dropped on either side of my pained body.
My head hurt, no, my entire body hurt. I could feel the stings of new cuts on the palms of my hands and my knees, which broke most of my fall, but my head took a lot of damage still. I felt my mind fog over when dark laughter filled the silent forest.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the brat from eight years ago." I heard the man sneer.
My blood ran cold, he grabbed my blond hair and pulled me up so I was face to face with him. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you have the wrong person." I hissed and started to thrash around.
He just tilted his head back and laughed again, only to twist around and throw me against a tree. I gritted my teeth against a scream as I fell onto the ground, only to be pulled back up. "Remember the pain you felt that day, how scared you were when you knew you were going to die, the feeling of your blood leaving your body." He licked my neck, right where the pulse is.
My fogged brain cleared up suddenly and the memory I remembered just seconds ago became clearer.
"Hey, there's the girl I was talking about!" I heard a gruff voice say before rough hands grabbed me and pulled me off the pink's head. I screamed as I was thrown over someone's shoulder and moved away from the group I just met.
"Let me go!" I screamed as they walked away, the man said "shut up!" and kept walking. A name came to mind as they walked and I looked at the pink's eyes and screamed "Natsu help me!" while tears fell in my eyes and I reached for him.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up!" The man holding me growled and a stinging pain grabbed my neck and I screamed. I felt something suck my blood and I cried and begged him to stop.
My cries got quieter as the man kept sucking my blood. So…tired… I thought as my arms went limp and my tears stopped flowing. Everything went in slow motion when I cast a glance at the group and saw them charging towards them… the black haired guy was smiling, the raven one was calm, but Natsu was angry, the only common thing they had on their faces were red eyes and… fangs…?
"Yes… you remember me now right?" A silver glint caught my eye and he stabbed my side. I felt a scream rip out of my throat. The man just smiled while he licked my throat more, then his fangs pierced my skin, causing my throat to let out another blood curling scream.
I felt his fangs enter deeper, my screams died down to only whimpers as he drank more. He moaned and started wiggling the knife still in my side, my throat let out a weak scream. I felt his fangs release their hold on my throat and his glowing red eyes stared at my bloodied body.
"Your blood is delicious when you're in pain," he whispered as he took the knife out of my side. "Wonder how much you'll scream if I hurt you some more…"
He threw me to the ground and sat on my hips, making me enable to move away from his red eyes. My arms were held above my head with one of his rough hands while his other was sliding my shirt up.
I felt tears fall down on either side of my face as he slid my shirt up. "Natsu…" I trembled.
"OI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY LUCE?!" I heard a yell and the weight on my hips vanished. I opened my tear filled eyes and saw familiar pink hair trying to punch the man who hurt me.
The man and Natsu were moving so fast my eyes could barely keep up with them. The strangers eyes were glowing red, but Natsu's were flaming red and filled with anger. The man just laughed as he dodged all of Natsu's punches and kicks. "For one so old," He began and vanished, leaving only the swaying trees to whisper. "You're weak and childish."
Silence filled the path, Natsu wasn't moving at all, as if afraid of breaking the silence. "Natsu…." I whispered then winced, my throat felt like someone ripped it out and replaced it with needles, I could tell my side was still bleeding because my white shirt was slowly turning redder by the second.
"Natsu…" I repeated, wanting to cheer him up. His body flinched, and then his head moved up so he could look at me. I saw hurt and anger flash in his eyes as he walked closer to me, his flaming red eyes were replaced with warm onyx ones as he picked me up bridal style and started running towards my house.
"Natsu…" I coughed and he looked at me with sad eyes. "It wasn't… your fault…" My eyes felt heavy, and I slowly descended into darkness.
Natsu's POV
"It wasn't…your fault…" I heard those words as her body went limp in my arms. No….she isn't…is she?! My thoughts were full of worry, eventually the worry turned into fear, making me propel myself faster down the path.
The smell of smoke and meat filled my nose as a small two story cottage came into view. I felt my heart go up my throat as I stopped and took some time to gaze at the warm and welcoming sight. I've seen bigger, and more expensive, houses during my years. I though as I started heading towards the door. But this house, even if its small, is the best house I've ever seen.
I looked down at Lucy for a moment. Her skin was pale and cold to the touch, her neck was covered in blood, the beautiful golden locks she had were matted down on one side with her blood. I checked her pulse and was relieved to find a slow but steady heartbeat.
The loud crash of wood against wood hit my sensitive hearing and I looked up, already knowing what fate awaited me. I inwardly sighed and looked up; only to come face to face with rage filled red eyes.
The feathered weight in my arms was immediately taken from me by what looked like a black shadow, my eyes watched with horror as the shadow eventually took the form of Rogue Cheney, the vampire I had fought earlier when Happy freaked out and tried to tear my face off.
