"Zeref-kun!" he turns to see her in the pure white room.

"Mavis?" he says and he could hear her giggle. She was just as beautiful as he remembered. Long, flowing blonde hair and pools of emerald green that she claimed were her eyes and a contagious smile that always melted his heart whenever he saw it. She truly was like the fairies she loved so much.

"Come one, silly goose! You're going to miss the fireworks!" the small blonde begins to run towards the cherry blossom trees.

"Mavis, wait!" he shouts, running after her through the path of pink petals.

The white of the room around him was slowly turning into the darkness and he began to run faster.

"Mavis!" he screamed, trying to reach her but, no matter what he did, he couldn't even get close.

When she suddenly stopped, he was able to grab her small body and hold her close.

"Zeref." there was something wrong with her voice. It sounded distorted and out of place and her neck turned towards him, revealing her red eyes with blood dripping out of her mouth.

"Why didn't you save me, Zeref?" she shrieked and Zeref immediately let go of her body, seeing all of her wounds from the accident.

"No!" he screamed, falling to his knees as he holds his head in his hands.

"It's only a dream, it's only a dream, it's only a dream-" his chin was pulled up by her hand.

"Wake up then!"

He woke up in a cold sweat, panting deeply. A wave of pain shot through his body and he gripped at the fabric of his shirt over his chest. He could feel his heartbeat speeding at an extreme rate as he tried to catch his breath.

"Shit..." he curses under his breath as he shakily reaches over the nightstand to fetch a bottle of pills lying there.

His fingers touch the tip, knocking it over and spilling the contents over the table. The capsules were small and white, almost chalky-like in texture. They seemed to be just regular old pills. He manages to grab a few of them in his palm and he quickly forced them down his throat.

As he finally swallowed, his heartbeat began to slowly sedate and he breathed deeply. He was cutting it close this time. Any later and there was no telling what could've happened.

"I have to ask Silver to get me more of these." he mumbles, taking two more of the capsules and swallowing them whole. He lays back on the headboard of his bed and wipes off the sweat forming on his brow.

"It's getting stronger. I can feel it." he looks over at the moonlight through his window, gripping at the fabric over his chest.

"You just had to take them from me. Demon."

"So... we've lost quite a few vampires yet again, eh?" one of the dark figures mumble.

Another figure slammed the round table all the demons sat at, "We need to stop these ridiculous rebellions! We can't let any of the others loose!"

Behind them, the wails of a young vampire were heard, only to be silenced by her screaming.

"That bitch is too loud." the leader of them sighs in annoyance.
