New chapter.. and today is the due date and I am not even close to being done . oh well :) enjoy:
I do not own Fairy Tail or anything basically D:
"There are four different statuses," Laxus said as he looked at her then into the distance, "the lowest a humans, which are the living, then the zombies, which are the undead, followed by the Raven, which is a person with shinigami eyes to see when people's times are up, and then the highest ranking is the gods, either the god of death, or light. Do you understand?" Lucy slowly nodded her head, still a bit confused, "well you are a Raven and I know, as well as my grandpa, because we are both gods of death. We are the ones who create legal zombies to help us grim reapers destroy the undead."
"But aren't zombies already the undead?" Lucy asked.
"Yes, but there is a difference between a legal and an illegal zombie. Grim reapers create legal zombies whilst illegal zombies are created by other zombies without permission." Lucy made a little 'oh' sound as in finally understanding what he meant, "also, a Raven is sort of a death god, but not as strong. They can equip a sort of scythe, just like zombies and grim reapers, and take a soul from the undead and the living. Before you question about the dead having souls, zombies are moving corpses, but they can only move because their soul is attached to the core of the body, unwilling to move on to the human world," Laxus explained further and the blonde let all of the information sink inside of her mind and something then clicked.
"Wait! Zeref and Jellal are zombies?!" Laxus looked at her as if she had two head and laughed. His hands snaked around his sides as his lungs begged for air. Lucy looked away in embarrassment, she was so slow at figuring things out at times. Just then, two handsome boys walked into the room and were none other than Zeref and Jellal.
"Speak of the devil," the blonde man chuckled.
"Good to see you awake, Lucy," Zeref said as he rested his arms on top of the sofa's backboard.
"Took you long enough," Jellal commented as he crossed his arms across his chest as he looked down at Lucy.
"How long was I asleep?" She asked, Levy might have been worried that Lucy hadn't called for a while.
"Uhm about a week, I didn't care to much about the time, but now things are going to get interesting," the blunette smirked and the blonde girl had a confused face of what he meant, "you are now in our debt with 1, 500, 075 jewels." Lucy's jaw dropped to the floor of how much she had to pay back. Since she was kicked out of her house/family, she only had a limited amount of money.
"But, how will I pay you back? It'll take me years, no, my entire life time to pay back!" She exclaimed whilst waving her hands in the air in panic.
"You'll be our slave until you paid your debt," Zeref said in a cheerful voice with a smile which sent shivers down Lucy's spine, "you shall be our eyes for zombie hunting, since you have the eyes of a shinigami and we don't." The girl slowly nodded her head. She didn't mind working the two boys, she was actually more than happy to work with them since she gets to know them better.
"Alright then, I have a good job for you," Laxus spoke up as he got out of his seat and headed towards his desk. There he took a cream-yellow folder from the pile of papers and handed it to Jellal who opened and scanned through the papers.
"Okay, thanks. We shall take our leave now," he said as he walked towards the door, Zeref and Lucy (who had quickly put on a white shirt that she got from Laxus) silently followed behind as they made their way down the stairs. The building was located behind two larger buildings and it had a friendly aura around it. The sign, which hung above the door, had 'FTZL' written in orange and a Fairy Tail symbol in the far right corner.
"Lucy, we need you find a person with a black x on their hearts. The zombie we're looking for is a high priced one and it is known for the amount of people it had killed." Zeref said as they walked through down town. Lucy nodded and scanned the crowd of people, trying to find a person with a 'x' that was dark as midnight. Finally she saw a redhead who wore black leather clothing and had red lipstick walking into a alleyway.
"There is one!" The blonde said as she pointed the direction the lady went. They took off running and the noise of the people and traffic reduced and the echoes of their footsteps grew louder. Suddenly, they halted to a stop when they came upon a horrific sight.
The redhead was covered in blood and had flesh dangling from her mouth that belonged to a man who had black, slicked back hair, was growing a beard, and wore shades. He also looked like in his early forties and wore a black leather jacket along with a white dress and black pants with leather shoes. A chunk of meat was missing from his left shoulder, where the woman had been feeding off of.
"Heavenly gun!" Jellal shouted and his silver gun with black carvings appeared from thin air.
"Black Death," Zered said and his scythe appeared which he spin around his back before pointing the blade towards the lady. The redhead screeched and ran towards the boys with her blood stained mouth open wide to take another bite, but to only swallow a heavenly bullet. Zeref then sliced his blade across her waist, causing blood to splatter on Lucy who looked horrified and the body to cut in half.
The brunette then realised what he had done and made his weapon vanish. He quickly ran over to her with a sad expression, "I am so sorry for getting blood all over you," Zeref apologised as he gently put his fingers on her blood stained shirt.
"It's okay," she replied, gazing away from his eyes and a light blush covered her cheeks.
"Darn it, we only got 800 jewels each. That means we didn't get the zombie that we are after," Jellal complained and kicked the corpse.
Zeref sighed, "that's too bad. We'll continue our search tomorrow, but right now, Lucy and I are going somewhere so I can buy her a new shirt."
"Alright, see you later then," the blunette smirked and walked away, disappearing into the shadows of the alleyway. Before Lucy could protest to Zeref's decision, he grabbed her by her hand and dragged her off.
