Jellal nearly jumped out from his skin.

"W-W-What?! Y-y-you're a v-vampire?!" He yelled.

The lady opened her mouth to reveal two sharp, pointy teeth. "Pure blood," she stated matter-of-factly.

"I... I.. Uh..." Jellal didn't know what to say. He had read about vampires.

Blood-sucking creatures. Most see humans as mere livestock, others detest humans for hunting vampires. Females had sexually appealing bodies, though not to be confused with the Succubus. THAT was a whole other thing.

Jellal felt frozen with fear. Was he going to die here, blood sucked out dry by some sexy female vampire?

"Um... please, please don't suck my blood," Jellal could only plead.

"What? What are you talking about?" The lady demanded.

Jellal blinked. "Don't you vampires hate humans? Aren't you going to suck my blood dry or something?"

There was a slight pause. Then the lady spoke.

"Honey, did you read all of that from a book? Do you honestly believe everything you read?" The lady rolled her eyes, like she was mocking Jellal.

Jellal blinked again. "So... you're not going to drink my blood?"

The lady shifted closer to Jellal's face, and dropped her eyes in a seductive way, and whispered, "Well.. it depends if your blood tastes good or not..."

"-!" Jellal gasped, and pushed her away. I have to run, Jellal thought.

Jumping out from the bed, Jellal suddenly realised his leg was hurt. It stung like mad as he tried to run, and he ended up falling.

"Ow.. ow..." Jellal groaned. He heard footsteps from behind him.

Oh, great. This is where it ends, he thought.

Instead the lady said, "Honestly.. you're a feisty one, aren't you?"

Jellal gasped as he was pulled up by the lady and turned to face her.

Her face was beautiful, Jellal thought. He could just take it easy and relax, and trust her. But it was always the most beautiful ones that held traps, wasn't it?

The lady suddenly said, "I saved you, you know. Where's my thank you? Don't humans say thank you to their saviours? Huh?"

Jellal opened his eyes wide. "You saved... me?"

"Yeah. The dark thing that lunged at you was a evil forest spirit. You had wandered into its territory and it wanted to hurt you. It had cut your hand up pretty bad, you know. I saved you. I chased that bad guy away, and brought you here. Don't I get a thank you?"

Jellal realised he had forgot his manners again. His face burned, and he said, "I'm sorry. Thank you..."

The lady seemed satisfied, and dropped Jellal rather casually onto the bed.

"You rest here for now. You can't move yet," she instructed.

As she turned to leave, Jellal said, "Wait! What's your name?"

The lady gave a pause, but turned around and flipped her scarlet hair back from her neck.

"It's Erza."


Several hours had passed. Jellal was beginning to feel bored.

He had memorised everything about his new found 'friend', Erza. He made sure he didn't forget her name, repeating it over and over again, partly at the expense of having nothing to do.
