Bitten

A/N: Here's the freaking 3rd chapter. I had a little problem with the connection, I rewrote this for like 5 times! I hate this connection. And for earlier safekeeping, I only update during Fridays (sometimes), Saturdays and Sundays. I guess you already knew why, but if not, it's because I attend high school. Yes, I attend high school to learn something called 'Algebra' and when I graduate I regret learning it because I won't even use it in my daily life. Trust me, you just need to learn it for high grades and then you can rest forever and ever. Enough of this damn blabber I give, it's time for the recap, shall we please?

Last time on 'Bitten':

'They left...Without Lucy. And they totally betrayed her after all.'

"Lucy?"

Chapter 3 - Betrayed

She was betrayed, and she felt like thousands of daggers stabbed her back, ignoring the fact that Zeref called her name. Tears flowed from her eyes as the ship departed. It went farther and farther. She desperately wanted to run after them but it's like her feet were glued to the ground. Lucy's very stunned and felt her heart broken into pieces. And those pieces were tore apart to shreds, and the shreds would become dust and fade.

Lucy cried and cried. And her back was shaking but didn't go unnoticed by Zeref, who already figured out that she's apprehensive about something. He never wanted to invade her personal space, yet, out of realization, he found himself walking towards the weeping blonde teenager. Instead of saying something utterly ridiculous, he just went closer to her ears.

"Don't worry, Lucy, I'm still here. And I won't leave you because I...I...I don't know, you're my friend" he whispered. Lucy felt his cool breath against her ears, but pretended she didn't hear. She's completely frozen and her face is damp with tears. Zeref mentally smacked himself because of the last words he said, that wasn't his mere plan. He backed away a little, giving Lucy some privacy and waited for her to say something.

Instead of getting an answer, Lucy lost her balance and fell backwards. Providentially, Zeref caught her in time. Now their position is...Well...extremely awkward now. It's like they were dancing a ballroom dance and the last part where you had the angle of kissing your partner. Zeref felt heat rushed up to his face and steadied Lucy by pulling her up gently. He quickly got rid of his embarrassed emotion.

He finally heard a positive reaction from her: a simple giggle. Lucy wiped her tears and grinned proudly at him, her fangs clearly visible. "You're right! I shouldn't be crying because you're here. And I am not alone, and because you are my friend! Promise to never leave me, Zeref, please do that" she pleaded with pride. Zeref felt a knife stabbed his heart, because he was in what young people call 'FRIEND ZONE'. And yes, he was FRIENDZONED.

Accepting that stupid fact, he just nodded with no emotion. "I promise to not leave you..." Zeref said with a poker face and raised his right hand. Lucy raised an eyebrow, doubting that his other hand, which he hid behind his back, is crossed. She assumed it but Zeref never did it. Seeing her doubtful face, Zeref raised both his hands. "I double promise" he stated.

Lucy nodded understandingly, of course she believed him. "Alright then. I believe you. What do you think I should do now? You promised you would train me for a few days, right? But hold that thought! Train me for a year, and I will become stronger. Then I would just go back to Fairy Tail and make them remember me, is that fine with you?" Lucy grinned, without her fangs showing this time.

Zeref made a face, clearly he didn't want the living coming near him, but this one's different. He made her a 'friend' of his, and he had double thoughts about it. He thought if he should be happy about turning her into a vampire and becoming a friend or not. Anyways, back to reality, he just sighed in defeat. He would train Lucy because he felt confidence in her tone of voice. "I guess I could. I don't have anything to do in my life than killing and destroying things. So when do we start training?" he asked.

Lucy threw a rock on his head. But Zeref ignored it. He didn't feel the slightest hint of pain. His head had no scratches or even marks of injury. Except for the dust the rock left that is. Lucy's eyes widened. Zeref wasn't called the strongest mage after all. Lucy was impressed, if that would be a normal person, his head would be bloody by now.

Zeref glanced at her. "Yep, you need A LOT of training. Why not start now and fill your stomach with blood? After all, it's clear your still very thirsty. I don't want to die yet because of you, now shoo, go hunt and after that, carry me to the...grave" Zeref commanded at her causing a vein to pop out of Lucy's head. He was getting annoying. Not that he was not annoying in the first place.

Lucy gritted her teeth. "Whatever! That might be a good idea to get out of your annoying habitat, Mister Master!" she whined and stomped off outside, and did as told. Zeref laughed while she went to do all the things she had to. He never thought the day would come that he would have a friend again.

But other than that, he's worried too. He swore Lucy's mark is the same as the mage's mark he bit after her. What if he is Lucy's close friend? Would Lucy forgive him if she found out that he's the one who bit his friend? What if she did? Will they still be close again? He hoped it's not too late, he already ran to where he left the ice mage before. He ran and ran, but ended up with Lucy and the raven haired mage in her arms. Too late...He's in big trouble.

Ending Notes: Hooray! Hooray, finally I am done with this chapter. My big thanks to SolemNiTee for proofreading this. He would soon join FanFiction if he has time. SolemNiTee is a really awesome proofreader and promised to buy me a gift for my birthday this July 4. It's okay if you greet or not, just please review :D

Still no idea who to pair Lucy with, but if you want spoilers, I'll give you some. Just PM me for SPOILERS and I will give you my whole chapter plan. Yet, please don't spoil it to people who didn't want the spoilers if I give you my chapter plan.

Oh and this might be the last chapter I can post for this weekend. Have a blessed day~!
