Ch. VI -He's a...-

When I got home I went up to my room and thought about what just happened. Was what I did right? Of course it was, I shouldn't second guess my self, I just hope Natsu isn't feeling too down about it. I still don't really know why he talked to me today.

I sighed as I stared up at the ceiling while laying on my bed. I still don't get why people do this, it's a ceiling, what's so special about it? I guess it helps people think but it didn't really help me. I rolled over and grabbed my phone, unconsciously checking it though I don't know what I expected.

No new notifications.

That's what I should've expected. I grabbed it and started playing on it when I heard the front door open and close with a slam. I watched my door out of the corner of my eye right before my mother came in looking sympathetic.

Why would she be...? Oh, Levy.

She came over and sat on my bed "Sweetie, I heard about Levy, they called me when you ran away from the scene." I sat up and nodded, sad again thinking about her. Levy, why? "They told me a funeral was planned and it's this Friday." I nodded again, I was definitely going.

"Are you okay, sweetie?" I looked up at her, into her chocolate brown eyes that were the same as mine "Yeah, just a little shocked, you know?" She nodded and smiled at me a little "I'll leave you alone."

When she left and closed the door I laid back down, thinking about going to sleep early. Before I could think about much more a wave of exhaustion passed over me and I was out like a light.

When I woke up to the sound of my alarm I wanted to die, but I'm sure that's how most people felt in the mornings. I mean, who could honestly love mornings? I groaned and got up, reaching a hand up to feel my tangled hair.

I sighed and scrambled out of bed, going over to my dresser to find some clothes. I grabbed some jeans and a black tank top. I went and finished my routine in the bathroom and decided to skip breakfast, I didn't have much time.

I grabbed my bag and phone then went to the front room. I put on my black hoodie and went out to my car. I got inside and was about to start it but on a whim grabbed a stick of gum and got out, I'll walk today.

I chewed my bubble mint gum as I walked along the pavement. I put in my headphones and started listening to some random song. I had almost gotten to my school with only getting a few odd looks when I passed an alley.

This alley just happened to be the only one I looked in. At first I didn't see anything but something caught my eye. I stopped and frowned, wondering what it could be. I took out my headphones and put them away.

When I did, I heard a noise that sounded like something sloppily eating. I frowned even more and slowly walked towards the sound. My whole body was yelling at me to stop, the hairs on my neck and arms standing straight up.

But my curiosity had me keep going forward.

As I got farther into the dark alley I saw a figure hunched over something though from my angle I couldn't see what. I got closer and was about to speak when the figure suddenly turned and I could see their face. My eyes widened when I saw who it was.

Natsu Dragneel.

His mouth was covered and dripping with bright red blood. His eyes were the same colour as the blood dripping to the ground around him. His usually tanned skin was as pale as the moon causing the blood to stick out even more. I never would've recognised him if it wasn't for the pink hair.

I looked at his hands and saw an animal but it was too mauled for me to tell what it was. I was terrified, who wouldn't be? I looked back at him and saw that he looked more like normal and he seemed as terrified as me.

I took a step back, no longer frozen from the fear. I knew I had to get out of here, would he do that to me? I didn't have time to think before he dropped the small corpse in his hands and turned to me. I ran.

I couldn't believe what I saw and I knew I had to get away before he decides what to do before I do. Would he eat me? Was eat even the correct word for what I saw? I ran faster, I could go home but my parents would wonder why I was home. But did I really care?

I think after seeing that I had an excuse.

I changed course a little so I was heading towards home. I heard running behind me before I felt my arm being pulled. I quickly turned and saw Natsu, not breathless but now I knew why. I tried to pull away but in the back of my mind I knew it was useless.

Natsu easily stopped me and held me so I couldn't run. He held my wrists and looked at me seriously "Luce...I'm sorry you had to see that." I could smell the blood on his breath. I struggled a little more before spitting "Sorry? Sorry?! I just saw you eating a-" he covered my mouth with a hand and quickly moved so he held my wrists with one hand.

"Stop shouting, do you want everyone to know?" "That's a stupid question, why would I care?" I said before I thought about what I was saying. I saw the hurt in his eyes and realised what I had really said. He let me go and stepped back "That's right, you don't want to be friends anymore, do you?"

He said it sourly and looked down. I gulped a little as I wondered what he was going to do. "Go," that's all he said. I turned and started walking, I looked back to see him standing there, looking melancholic.

I looked forward again and headed home. Should've taken my car. I shook my head, this had been one hell of a week. Week? It's only Tuesday. Yesterday my best friend died and today I saw Natsu eating something like a... I stopped and looked behind me to see him not there.

Natsu Dragneel is a vampire.

I bet you guys are like "Finally! She figured it out!" But if I had done it sooner it wouldn't have as good of a build up. Hmm, I wonder what Lucy will do now that she knows that Natsu is a vampire. Oh who am I kidding? I know exactly how she'll react. Anyway, as always, arigatou for reading!
