Grave Visit

part 6

Nothing but darkness seems to have surrounded Yoru. He can't feel anything. Knowing instinctively that this numbness is bliss compared to the pain he was feeling before. Although pain had its uses. Pain at least was a sure fire sign that you were alive. Wait, if He wasn't feeling pain did that mean he was dead? Or at least half way there more like it. He can't remember anything right now. The desire for sleep is great yet something seems to be holding him back from it. An appearance seeming much like a great light shines brightly through his eyelids from the outside . With great effort he opens them only to see an empty black void and a single light that penetrates the infinite darkness. As he focuses in on the light it changes shape, molding into a vague human shape. Slowly it looses it Vagueness and its replaced by a crisp detailed image of his grandfather. He stands tall with his long white hair flowing down his back and his red armor in front of him. He smiles his crazy old man smile where the wrinkles seem to spread across his face like crumpling paper. He walks, or at least it seems that way. He takes steps toward Yoru but there is no floor or anything to stand on. 

"Yoru. Its good to see you are alive" 

His voice echoes like thunder but doesn't seem frighting. He just now notices that his grandfather seems to be giving off the slightest of golden glows.

"But.......you are dead.." 

Yoru is surprised to hear his own voice. He himself hadn't said anything but merely thought the question and the sounds burst through the darkness as if coming from no where but oddly and distinctly his own voice. Then as his grandfather answered he noticed that his lips were not moving either. They were both were speaking without talking. All their mind seems to be led open. Such a situation must mean that lies would be impossible.

"Yes. Yes i am."

Yoru takes in the words without much thinking. It seems every thought he has is echoed through this strange place they are in. He hasn't much energy to speak. A single question arises.

"Am I dead?" 

The old mans smile broadens.

"No. You are not dead. Think Clearly. Do you remember dying?"

Yoru tries to think and slowly the memories come back all the way to the point of where he passed out. Several questions seem to arise but none of them were strong enough to be turned into words. His grandfather seems to sit next to him. Again there is nothing to "sit" on but the action couldn't be described any other way. Slowly he gets the feeling he is laying on something hard. like a stone floor. Though his body refused to move for him even as he tries with all his might. After a few moments he gives up.

"You are seeing me because I am the one you think of when you need answers. I find I am honored to know that You think highly of me. Now i'm sure you are wondering why your body has been acting weird yes?" 

There is no motion in yoru but somehow he understood that he wanted to know.

"You are a half Vampire. That means that Half of your blood is from my line, but the other half is human. When you snapped you fully activated it and temporarily became as if you were a Full vampire like me or your father. Now you are in Relapse where its like you are fully human. I don't know how long it will last but it will return to normal" 

His mind slowly processes the information and draws out the truth. Rather quickly. Catching onto details quickly questions rapidly started forming. 

"So I no longer have my vampire powers or blood magic till it returns?" 

"That is correct."

"Then........how am I supposed to get out of this? Or, maybe i don't need to..." 

"Enough with the self pity already!"

The sudden outburst from his grandfather seemed to shock him and he goes silent, thoughts and all. 

"You feeling bad because someone precious to you died? Well let me tell you something. Its gonna happen. You never let anyone close to you. Not even me your own grandfather and the one who raised you since you were able to walk. But the first time you let your walls down and embrace someone else into your heart they die. Connections and bonds hurt. But you need them."

Yoru simply stares back in disbelieve at his grandfather. If he could move he would try and stab him. Yet something in his words struck a deep chord with him. He knows he is pathetic for being so damn weak. Not physically but mentally. One persons death caused him to shatter to the point he couldn't even stand on his own two feet. Without them he didn't want to live further and the fact that he was so pathetic was a new feeling for him. More so he knew that his grandfather knew that the reason he stayed away from others was because he was afraid of this. 

"Well Just so you know, this has all been in your head. I'm just the image you chose. Now I'm sure you know what you have to do. All your friends back at Fairy tail are human and that shouldn't stop you from kicking some a*s okay? now get out there an do your damn job!"

With the last scolding breath he is gone and Yoru suddenly is laying on the same hard surface but he can see its inside a stone cell. Slowly he gets his body up. Its heavy like sandbags attached to hit. Every bit of him seems to ache and hurt as well. His breathing seems to be faster as if he needed more air than before. He's also cold and yet his skin feels like its on fire at the same time. A strange sensation to say the least. His eyes seem blurred but he sucks it up and moves to his feet. His hair falls in front of his face and he notices for the first second its black. He quickly hobbles over to a mirror where he catches a glimpse of his reflection and to his surprise his fangs are gone and his once red eyes are now.......green. The clanging of doors is heard behind himself as he looks through the metal bars to see someone walking up to him. He does not recognize the man but the way he holds himself gives off the impression he fancies himself someone important.He struts till he is in front of yoru where he does a millitary turn with a sneer on his face.

"You are the prisoner that is supposed to have killed several of our top officers? A powerful vampire with blood lust? Pshh. don't make me laugh. With a single glance anyone can tell you are human"
