Welcome To Fright Night

Chapter 11

"Great, now that our experts on vampire hunting are gone what are we supposed to do?" Gray asked.

"Maybe we should just go back to Fairy Tail and come back with more help?" Juvia suggested.

"We may have to do that." Natsu said. "Still I'm gonna try to find that guy and talk some sense into him."

"I'll go with you." Gray said.

"So will I." Lucy said.

"No I think it would be better if you stayed behind and got some rest. You might be getting sick." Natsu said.

"I feel fine." Lucy said.

"Still let's not take any chances." Juvia said. "I'll stay behind with you Lucy."

"Happy you stay behind too, keep an eye on the girls and let us know if anything happens." Natsu told his exceed.

"You can count on me sir." Happy saluted.

"Don't leave the inn and don't let anybody in your room except for us." Gray instructed.

"Be careful out there." Juvia warned.

"Don't worry we're both wearing garlic chains." Natsu said.

"Unfortunately." Gray added in annoyance. "I'm definitely going to need a bath when this whole ordeal is over."

After making sure that the doors and windows were locked and bound with garlic and crucifixes the boys left to find Jack and Sam. Lucy and Juvia both crawled into their beds and fell asleep. Happy slept at the foot of Juvia's bed but he was a very light sleeper so if something went wrong he would be awake in a flash.

At first the night was quiet and all three of them slept very soundly. But later in the evening Happy woke up and decided to get a late night snack.

"I wonder if there's any leftover fish." He thought.

He was just about to search the cupboard when he was startled by a terrible howling noise. His fur stood up and his body trembled as he looked over to see two red eyes in the darkness staring at him from that one window that they had forgotten to put defences on. The eyes drew nearer and at once Happy realized that they belonged to a vicious, blood thirsty, wolf which came crashing through the window and lunges for the exceed.

The sound of breaking glass and screaming woke both of the girls.

"Happy!" They cried when they saw the wolf grab the blue cat by the neck with it's teeth and jump out the window.

"Stop!" Juvia cried jumping out of bed. "Come back here with Happy!"

The rain woman had responded more quickly by immediately going out the window to stop the beast who had taken Happy. Lucy started to follow after her but suddenly the door to her room slammed shut and when she pulled on the knob it wouldn't open.

"What's going on?"

A mist started to slip through the creases of the door and fill up the entire room with fog. Getting scared, Lucy backed away from it and got back on to her bed. Her fear was further increased when the mist took the form of Thaddeus or rather Thanatos.
