"Thank you for shopping here, and have a nice day!" chirped a short blunette.

Her bookstore that she owned was quite popular in her area, as the facility housed genres suited for just about everyone. Those who could care less about reading stopped by simply for her famous, homemade hot chocolate. Yes, everyone had something to purchase at Levy's Bookerina. Just the cheerful smile upon the short woman's face attracted various customers, some even developing a love for literature thanks to her encouraging words about the world of fiction. Levy was certain that opening up her own business straight out of high school would surely prove to surely fail. Now twenty years of age, she owned Magnolia's most popular bookstore, earning enough money to settle down in a rather large house. Her parents disagreed with her decision to do this and even cut off all connections with their only daughter, but that didn't bother Levy. She was never too fond of her family anyways.

Glancing up towards the clock, she realized sadly that it was time to close the store. There were a few costumers scattered around, but she knew that they would finish up shortly. Trotting towards the door, she flipped her sign over, informing the outsiders that she was now closed for the night. Noticing the change of sign, her remaining costumers hurried along, picking out a book or trinket and making their way back to the register. With expertise, the bookworm checked out the items, having everyone out of the door in as little as five minutes.

Sighing to herself, she grabbed her belongings, which only consisted of her coat, red purse, and a novel that she was reading. Much to her excitement, this particular novel was written by her best friend, Lucy Dragneel, who was now a famous novelist. Turning off the lights, she stepped outside into the chilly night, locking the store behind her. Unlike the night previous, she felt as if this night was...rather odd. It was much colder than she remembered the weather forecaster predicting, but the little woman only assumed that it was due to slight miscalculations.

After all, they were only human.

Quickly checking her phone for any missed calls, Levy only saw that she had one, which was Lucy. However, the bookworm knew of Lucy's...rather odd schedule. From dusk until dawn, Lucy refused to communicate with anyone, which was rather strange at first, but over time, Levy grew accustomed to it. What was even more strange was the fact that Lucy's husband, Natsu, was exactly the same. They never explained the reason for their odd behavior to the bluenette, but in truth, she never really felt the need to question them. She felt as if it would be considered rude to pry into her best friend's personal life.

Luckily for her, Lucy had already sent her a message explaining her reason for calling.

{Hey girl! I just wanted to remind you that we need to go shopping Saturday! Call me tomorrow!}

Levy's eyes widened a fraction, "Crap! I forgot about that.."

Sighing, the short woman quickly typed down a reminder in her notes app, shutting her phone off and placing it back inside her purse. Glancing around, she noticed that the streets were oddly empty on this night, causing her to grow incredibly uncomfortable. She had a bad case of anxiety, and even though a crowd of people scared her, being totally alone at night was just as nerve-racking for her. Speeding up her pace, she rushed past the various buildings, glad that her home was only a few blocks from her shop.

"Gihi..."

Gasping, the blue headed woman spun around, confused and frightened when she discovered that no one was behind her. She could have sworn that someone was right behind her, laughing.

"Must be my imagination.." she mumbled to herself, turning around to continue her journey home.

She was entering into an area that she absolutely dreaded to walk by. It meant that she was only a couple of minutes away from her home, but it also meant that she would have to walk through an alley-way. It wasn't the typical dark alley that consisted of dumpsters and stray cats. After all, this was a very nice neighborhood. Still, it was an easy area for someone to kidnap a helpless woman. With Levy's petite size, she knew that she was easy prey.

"Where are ya goin'?"

Screaming slightly, Levy spun around, only to once again be met with nothing but the cold air. However, she knew now that this voice wasn't just her imagination. No, it was much too real to be something like that. Shivering with fright, the little bookworm made a run for it. Tears fell from her eyes when her thoughts were confirmed by the sound of the strange laughter once again filling her ears.

Out of nowhere, her body was suddenly pinned against one of the unused buildings, her legs dangling from the air.

"Did ya think that you could actually run from me? Yer nothin' but a shrimp, a nice smellin' shrimp.."

Her eyes widened when she was finally able to see the face of this mysterious person. His skin was pale, yet there was a slight tan to it as well. His mouth was nothing more than a mere smirk, fangs protruding from the top of his lips. His hair was slicked back, the color of midnight and a feathered texture. This man was also tall, very tall, though most people were usually taller than the bookworm. His muscular build outwardly hinted towards a great strength that he surely possessed, but what captivated Levy the most were his blood red irises, his pupils slits like a....like a dragons. His lashes were dark, making it seem that he wore a great amount of eyeliner, and perhaps he did. A strange concept about this man was the fact that he was covered in piercings. His nose was pierced twice on each side, his eyebrows replaced with three piercings above each eye. From what she could somewhat see, he had multiple piercings on his ears as well, and perhaps he had more in other places that she could not currently see.

"What....Who?" The small woman was greatly confused, her fear still lingering strongly.

The creature only smiled, showing off his multiple fangs. Leaning down, he sniffed Levy's neck, causing shivers to run down her body.

"You smell so nice, so delicious. I want to savor this blood," he mused softly, chuckling when he noticed the tears pooling in the corners of the blunette's eyes.

"Who are you?" she managed to ask.

"I'm Gajeel, and yer my dinner," he growled out, piercing his fangs into her neck and draining her of her blood, every last ounce.
