Magnolia, Fiore
Magnolia Park
9:37 P.M.
It's slightly warmer tonight than it was yesterday. For the 50s in the summer, it's pretty cold out. I tighten the scarf around my neck and breathe out, seeing the slight whiteness of my breath.
So much has happened in so little time. Too much information for me to process.
I've been alone since I was young. I had always thought that my parents had just abandoned me but in reality, they had died doing their job: protecting humankind from blood-sucking creatures known as vampires.
I used to think that vampires were just fairy tales created to be used in monster movies and sappy love stories. Those that we love, those that supposedly died long ago, are beginning to appear again. And they're those blood-sucking creatures.
And now, it's up to me and the others to save them from themselves. Being an exorcist seemed easy to me but, I'm rather nervous. Lucy, Levy and Gray all had already tamed their first vampires. I suppose that must mean that they'll try to target me next, right? I'll have to listen to what Makarov-san told me and to watch my back.
It's only two more weeks and then, we'll be able to train all out during the temporary break.
Jellal... Will you still be the same when we meet again?

Somewhere in the dark places of Alvarez
1:04 A.M.
The sound of the large wooden doors opening could be heard. A woman giggles as she sees her champion walking inside. He was young, rather build, covered in the silver armor given to him as a guild master. Blue hair moving along him as he walks to her. The tattoo on his face was proof that she was his master.
"Lady Kyoka, you've summoned me?" he asks, his eyes are focused and sharp, burning red.
She smirks wickedly, meeting his eyes with her equally red pupils, "Ah, my favorite experiment! I need you to do something for me."

Magnolia, Fiore
Fiore Hunter College, Mr. Clive's AP History
10:43 A.M.
"Why do we have to be at school again?" Gajeel groaned, yawning from waking up too early.
"Headmaster Zeref thought that if you all started attending school here, it would be easier to keep track of you." Lucy sipped on her iced coffee that she got from Gray that morning.
"What are we supposed to eat though? I'm starving!!!" Natsu's stomach growled as he was eyeing the students.
Lucy smacked him and shouted, "NO EATING THE STUDENTS! Headmaster said that for lunch, you three will go to him and he'll give you food."
"It should be fun, right, Gray-sama?" Juvia giggles and Gray slightly blushes.
"Old ice princess has the hots again!!!" Natsu and Gajeel laugh their asses off and Gray punched the both of them.
"FUCK OFF, YOU TWO!" Gray shouts.
"Aww, come on, ice prick, we were only messing around." Natsu continued to laugh along with Gajeel, even after they were punched in the face.
"Yeah, can't you take a joke, stripper?" Gajeel chuckled.
"What did you call me, iron dick, flame brain?" Gray insulted the vampire boys.
"What did you say, ice princess?" Natsu placed a dark expression on his face.
"What did you call me ice stripper?" Gajeel insulted as he cracked his knuckles with loud popping noises.
"YOU WANNA GO?!" All of the boys yelled in unison.
"Let's go!!!" All three of them yelled before getting ready to charge at each other.
SMACK
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE BOYS?!" I yelled after I had slammed a ruler hard onto the desk.
The three boys instantly shut themselves up and hid behind the girls, with the exception of Natsu.
"I'm not scared of you-" I throw him a death glare.
"Much..." He shakes and grabs Lucy as a human shield.
"What makes Erza so scary, I may never know." Lucy sighed as she smacked Natsu for trying to pick fights.
I sigh as well, calming myself down before sitting in her seat. It's too early for all this- It was then when a group of giggling girls came in with a new set of gossip.
"Did you see the new boy?"
"I know! He's so hot!"
"If I had a man like that..."
"Girls have gotten sluttier than I remember." Gajeel says, getting hit by Levy's dictionary in the process.
"Alright, get in your seats!" Mr. Clive shouts, everyone scurrying into their seats.
"You can come in now." he turns his attention to the door opening.
My eyes widened, jumping from my desk when I saw who stood there.
The male was perhaps only a year older than her. Blue hair scattered all over, mostly covering the right side of his face. That half had something I don't remember wasn't there three years before. A tattoo the color of blood. His brown eyes noticed my surprised face and his lips curled in satisfaction.
"Now, let me introduce the new student: Jellal." Mr. Clive looked darkly at the blue-haired boy.
"Is there a problem, Ms. Scarlet?" Mr. Clive asked me, but I couldn't respond and stood there completely frozen. My voice died in my throat as I tried to speak.
"N-No, Mr. Clive......" I managed to say as I slowly made my way back down into my seat.
Gajeel, Natsu, and Juvia were just as shocked as me to see the blunette was here but nonetheless, they tensed up and kept their guard. They had their tamers to protect and even if an old friend was here, they couldn't risk exposing themselves.
"Jellal, you may sit next to Ms. Scarlet- Erza, raise your hand, please?" Mr. Clive said to Jellal as he turned around to the chalkboard and soon began the lesson.
As Jellal made his way over to me, I lowered my head down, showing only a part of my face, while my bangs covers my eyes from plain sight.
'Jellal, how, how did you find me so easily? You look like my Jellal, but you're not him! Is this a dream? Nope, it can't be... But, there's no way he can be the same... The Jellal I knew could never look so evil...' Erza's thoughts trailed off, for she was too focused on her thoughts to comprehend what or who was talking to her at the moment.
He died. I know he did.
Where did all this blood come from? Blood the color of my dark hair. The color of this hair I hated.
Red. Scarlet red.
It's everywhere, spilling between the screams and sobs of my friends.
Jellal was the only person I saw still alive somehow, his face twisted in absolute fear. His brown eyes scanned around for a way out and they turned sharp as he pulled me in front of him and began to punch the glass on the window holding the emergency breaker.
His hands are also spilling the color I hated most. His knuckles bled tills the glass cracked and he was able to break the emergency window open. Even with blood on his hands, he grabs me and pushes me towards the window.
"Jellal? What are you doing?" I asked, afraid for what may come next.
"You're going to hate me forever but, this is the only option right now." he says, holding me close and I could feel the warmth of his tears on my shoulder.
"I love you, Erza Scarlet. I love you and this god awful hair that you hate so much-"
"Stop talking like you're going to die-" he kisses me once before pushing me out but, I refused to let go of his hand.
"Jellal!" I screamed.
"Erza Scarlet, the color of your hair that I love so much..." That's when I saw it. He smiled as tears as crimson as the blood around us came out of his eyes. My grip on him was slowly growing less and less in strength until, I had to let go.
By then, it was too late to grab a hold on him again.
His eyes were the ones to bleed the color I hated next. And I had to watch as those demons took the one thing that ever loved that color.
This hair of mine.
And lastly: me.
"Erza?!" Levy's voice called out to her, making me jump startled in my seat.
"Huh? What is it?" I asked her as I was prepared to take notes.
"I said class ended so, we're heading off to lunch." Levy said to me with a look of concern, Gajeel behind her with a slight look of worry.
"Oh, alright then. Let's go." I said as calmed myself of that memory and began to pack up my things. I grab my bag and began to walk out of the room, Levy and Gajeel behind me.
That was when I decided, "Actually, can I meet you guys there? I want some time to myself."
"Are you sure you don't want me or Salamander to be with you, Titania?" Gajeel asked me, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm sure, so don't worry so much about me and besides, I'm tougher than you, Gray and Natsu combined." I punched Gajeel in the chest and he coughs.
"Okay, if you say so, Erza." Levy said before grabbing Gajeel's hand and the two start walking to the lunch room. They're so cute~!
I look at them as they walked away and a sudden flash of me and Jellal together flashed inside my head. I shook my head from the memories and walked away to the library. Jellal...
Once I was inside the library, I was greeted by the usual silence that I would usually hear inside the place. When I felt alone, I would always go in her and think. I don't really even call this place the library. It's just my thinking spot. There are too many things for me to process right now with the training and the vampires and the exorcists and-
And Jellal... I groan, placing my belongings on the chair closest to the entrance and I sat in the nearest chair I could find.
Natsu, Gajeel and Juvia were hostile before they were tamed so, Jellal shouldn't be any different, right? And what is the spell to do the taming anyway? I asked Makarov-sensei about that but, he just said that it's something from memory. What memory? I've never even heard of exorcists or even of what my own family was like before what happened a few days ago! It wouldn't even be something I wouldn't even believe but... I saw Natsu alive (well, undead actually) and now... I don't really know what to think...
I then suddenly felt as if I were being watched and had shivers traveling down my spine in a creepy manner. I shot up from the chair I was sitting in and quickly looked around my surrounding, becoming cautious from the eerie-feel of the room.
"Erza Scarlet..." a male voice was heard, causing me to gasp quietly and stand in my stance, frozen.
"Y-You don't scare me..." I shakily tried to say to the voice.
"What's wrong, Erza? Are you scared?" the voice teased me and I got angry, grabbing the swiss army knife hiding inside my back pocket.
"COME OUT, COWARD AND FACE ME!!!" I screamed at the voice, causing the voice to chuckle at me.
"Is that how you talk to vampire... Human?" the voice said as it revealed itself behind me, whispering in my ear.
I jumped and saw sharp red eyes glaring at me. Jellal.
"You!" I shout, trying to stab him with my knife but, he kept avoiding every hit I made.
"You're slow." he chuckles, hitting me in the stomach and knocking me into the table.
"Damn it... That wasn't like training..." I groaned and he came up to me, grabbing a hold of my wrist and holding me against the bookshelf.
"My lady told me that I had to get rid of you. She's never said how to do it." his grip tightens on my wrist and he grabs my other wrist as well, pining me completely.
I'm stuck!
"Jellal, you don't recognize me?" I ask as he lowers his head to my shoulder, dragging his tongue against my neck.
I shiver at the contact and I felt his lips graze my skin before his fangs pierce my skin. I wince, trying to get out of his hold but, his nails were digging into my wrists.
"Stop struggling..." Jellal growls and I see his red eyes stare into mine.
Slowly, I stopped resisting and he bites the other side of my neck, drinking my blood with pleasure.
"J-Jellal..." I breathed and he flinched.
"Why does a human saying my name bother me so much? I can't remember..." he whispers but, I can hear him.
His grip loosens on my wrists and I slide down onto the floor, blood flowing down each side of my neck. This is my chance! I grab the bottom of his jacket and I slowly pull myself back up. He tries to get away from me but, I grab his chin and smirk, "Not this time." and I smashed our lips together.
His eyes were wide with shock but, he slowly began to melt into our kiss. He did this the first time we kissed too. I could taste the metal of my blood in our kiss and I slowly come off first, caressing his cheek in my hand.
"You can forget me but, you can't forget my lips." I softly chuckle and tears flow out of his eyes.
He takes a piece of my red hair, entangling it between his fingers and brings the strands his lips to kiss it.
"Scarlet, just like the color of your hair..." he drops my hair and licks the blood dripping down my neck. Now's a good time for the spell.
"I, Erza Scarlet, of the rising sun, now intertwine our fates and ties the bonds between us together. By drinking this blood, you swear loyalty to me and therefore are mine to command. Bind, Jellal of the mind!"
I yelled out as I felt burning sensation in my neck, before dispersing away as quickly as it came.
"Erza Scarlet..." Jellal said before we passionately kissed once more and he held me close.
