Takuma POV

It had been three days since the incident and Lucy still hadn't left her room for more than 20 minutes at a time. She said that she needed time to make herself comfortable around us again and everyone understood, but I was starting to worry. The only two people that she could stand to have anywhere close to her were me and Hikaru. When Aidou had stopped by to apologize for scarring her, she had yelped and locked her door to keep him out. I saw how much that hurt my friend, but I had had no choice but to make him leave so Lucy would calm down again.

At one point when I thought she was getting worse, I offered her the option to transfer to the Day Class. It had been hard for me to do that because I didn't want her to go, but I was relieved when she turned down the offer.

"I promised that I would give the Night Class another chance, I will not go back on my word. A celestial mage lives by the contracts she makes and that is something I take great pride in," she had told me.

That had been the second day. The Night Class was now returning to the Moon Dorm. Hikaru and I had been taking turns to stay back and keep Lucy company while protecting her. The next night would be my turn. As I was walking to my room, I stopped in front of Lucy's to talk to Hikaru. "How was she today?"

"She was pretty calm and talked to me a lot. When she was sure that everyone was in class and Aidou and Akatsuki would stay in their room, she went down to the kitchen and ended up cooking a meal for the two of us. She's a really good cook," Hikaru told me. I didn't miss the slight lift at the corner of the brunette's mouth. From that small change in his expression, I knew that Lucy must be an amazing cook.

"She also said that she wanted to ask you something," Hikaru continued. "I'm not sure what it is, but she seemed pretty sure about it."

I nodded before stepping past the other vampire to knock on the mage's door. "Lucy, it's me. May I come in?"

A moment later, the door cracked open slightly for Lucy to peek out. When she was sure that only Hikaru and I were outside, she opened the door wider for me to come in.

"How are you doing today?" I asked her, trying not to sound overly concerned.

She gave me a small smile as she closed the door behind me. "Better than yesterday, but you know what? I'm mad at myself for taking so long to get over this." I turned to look at her, unsure of exactly what she meant. Before I could ask, she kept talking.

"You know, I have faced all sorts of things back home on Earthland," she said as she walked over to sit on the couch, I sat down next to her. "I've gone up against dragons that could swallow me in one bite, giant demons that could crush this dorm building under one foot, and dark guilds that are known for killing every person they come across. I've even been tortured more than once, and one of my torturers is now dating my best friend and I couldn't be happier that they're together. But for some reason, I just can't get past seeing Aidou drinking blood from Yuuki's hand and trying to drink from her neck while Akatsuki did nothing to stop him. I'm terrified of them even though they didn't actually do anything to me and I'm mad at myself for feeling that way."

I couldn't help but stare at her. I'd had no idea that the blonde had gone through so much in her life, yet she was still standing. From the sound of it, she would rather do all that again than face another set of vampire fangs. "Everyone is allowed to be scared of something, Lucy. It just so happens that what I am is what you're afraid of."
