I gulped down a whole lot of fear. Who I was looking at right now was the Flame Lord. The Flame Lord was in front of me, my enemy was in front of me.

He looked at me and smirked like he somehow liked my presence and took out the magic goop from my hands. I have no idea what happened but like a reaction my hand immediately pushed him back and gave me space to analyze.

"Huh, so you're a real fiery spirit." he mumbled and then gestured me to sit on his bed. Wait bed?

"Wait, I was outside your door, how, what?"

He looked at me smiling and once again a chill went down my back. BOW!!

I bent my head and back to 90 degree angle which meant full respect in Japan.

"Relax, just sit their while I clean my desk would ya."

I stood straight again and sat down on the bed just like he told me to. His room was purely swords and weapons, only a small space was dedicated to books.

There even was a blue tabby cat scratching the wall in a small corner. I knew those breeds, Exceeds.

I saw the Flame Lord clean his desk a bit and shuffle some papers. Then he took a large pile of them and threw it in the dustbin.

"Never liked reading or writing." he mumbled.

"W-W-What am I doing he-here?" I whispered, could he even hear me?

"Ahh, nobody told you have they? Well I'm sick and I need Celestial blood."

I looked at him quizzically. Sick, he didn't look ill in any way. And what was that about my blood??

It seemed he understood because he replied back to my face.

"I know you have mannnny questions, but look we don't have time the moon's already here." I looked outside the window and like he said the moon was already high.

What does time have to do with anything.

"Alright so, the first day's gonna be weird but you'll get used to it. Remember I'll answer all your questions tomorrow, understand."

I just nodded, what for I don't even know.

A millisecond later before he placed all the other papers and sighed terribly, he was right there in front of me. His hand cornered me to the bed and I had no way to fight him. He stared at my face and gave me a sign that said I'm sorry but I have to do this. He opened his mouth and breathed in my scent, what for I have no idea. He opened his mouth and his fangs pierced out. 

That's the moment I felt a small sting on my neck and then felt someone sucking the blood of me like a parasite. THESE MOSQUITOES.

My hands trembled while the Flame Lord held me straight, he kept sucking my blood and my eyes just relaxed more, it felt sleepy with all the pain on my neck and finally all I saw was black.

The next time I woke up I saw pure daylight and I was on a bed far different then the Flame Lord's.

I got up and saw a note on a white satin dress which had written, Wear it and come to the door which is straight in front of you.

I looked at the dress and I looked at my hands.

WHAT THE FORK IS HAPPENING HERE?

---Time Skip---

I cleared my throat and knocked at the door.

"Come in."

I went inside and saw the Flame Lord simply eating apples on his desk like nothing happened.

"So, you're awake. Now let's play a game shall we? I ask a question, you ask a question and so on and so forth. "

"A-Alright."

Just some few questions. Say most of them honestly except of course that you're on Zeref's side.

"You start."

I didn't hesitate to ask.

"Sick? You don't look sick?"

"Yeah, well that probably because of my handsome appearance. "

I looked at him and brought my eyebrow high, handsome?

"No, my powers aren't what they usually were before because Zeref hit me."

That explained some parts.

"My turn, who are you?"

"Lucy Heartfilia."

"W-what powers. I mean I'm not really a vampire encyclopedia so what powers?"

He chuckled when I said vampire encyclopedia. Well what was I a talking textbook?

"We have three powers since of course we were born from witches."

Right Witches, they came before shadows.

"I guess you know already that the Witches grew tired of dying by werewolves and shadows so they created another specimen, humans with witch blood and that of course made us. Vampires. Although many also do say that Celestial Mages were witches in their past life. So ofcourse we had three powers, speed, teleportation and our very own special power."

He then suddenly put his hands on fire.

"This is what happens without your blood. I'm not able to control it for a longer time these days. Thats why I need your blood for 4 days."

I looked at him a went near his desk. I picked up one of the apples from the bowl.

"Speed right? Then catch this."

I threw the apple up and a second later the Flame Lord had backed me towards the desk with an apple in his mouth.

He smiled and removed his hands from the desk giving me space. 

"So, what Celestial history, especially what's your history?" he asked not giving me time to think. 

Answer honestly.

"You are right, we were witches in our past lives. It is said that the very thing that used to be a dark creature but then faced extinction was given to God for reforming. He made us. Celestial Mages have two qualities, a mage can either summon spirits or use their power. However, there are some that can do both."

The fame lord gestured a hand movement telling me to tell me the last part of his question, my history.

"I-I'm from a little village. You wouldn't know where it is though, its dead. Long ago there were a hoard of werewolves and vampires who fought near out village. In a matter of some time the war came in out village. My entire home was ravaged during the war. Many of the vampires were looking for Celestial for the same purpose as you. Blood. So my parents locked my and my sister somewhere deep inside, and when I cam out from that small safe that they had made everyone was dead. Therefore, we went to another village which now you took me from."

"Seems like vampires just can't get a hold of you." The flame lord chuckled.

Is this my death or this my life now?

Waiting for a vampire to suck my blood every day for four days.

Guess, I'll try to pry some information till then. 

I must tell Ultear at least that he's sick. It could be the time for Zeref to strike.

But I still have to survive him.

The pink haired chuckling vampire.
