[Flash back end]
Sato sat down on a small rock with his body soaked from top to bottom. He had a deadpan look on his face as he stared at Erza.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Erza asserted , with her arms tucked as she stood in front of Sato staring down at him.
Sighing Sato looked back at her, "I get that I saw your panties and all, but let's be honest, it wasn't something worth getting angry for… if anything you should be apologizing, you should be thanking me for lo-".
"Speak any longer and I'll roast you alive where you sit." Erza threatened, her eyes glowing red with the wing symbol, flashing as she put out a sadistic expression.
Sato sighed again, a hot steam left his body which caused his dress to dry off almost instantly.
<<Notice…. The female in front of you is a Vampire, caution is advised>>
'Yeah, I figured that out already.' Sato muttered to himself. He stood up from the rock he was sitting on and turned his back on Erza.
"Hey, I still have some questions to ask you!" Erza yelled.
"You're a vampire aren't you?" Sato hinted, slowly facing her with a smirk, "Now, I wonder how you ended up on this side of the kingdom".
With an irritated expression, Erza clenched her fist, "Do you have any idea who I am?" She asserted.
"No, I don't, and frankly, I don't wanna-"
"I am the daughter of the Vampire lord of the Trinity, Duke Vlad…"
"Vlad? You're his daughter?" Sato asked with a bit of shock in his tone.
"Oh?" Erza muttered with a teasing grin, "Is that fear I sense? Well it's expected, my father is the vampire lord after all".
"Shut up for a second!" Sato yelled, grabbing Erza's arm and pulling her close with force which left her surprised.
"Tell me, does your father have anything to do with the recent vampire attacks happening in the witch's forest?" Sato asked with a serious look on his face.
His expression left Erza stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. "Get off me!" She yelled.
Erza pulled her arm away from Sato's grip, "What the hell is wrong with you? What do you mean by vampire attacks?" She voiced out.
"So you don't know about it then." Sato said, looking at the groove for a while before he turned his back on Erza again.
"Sorry for the way I held you." Sato apologized, getting ready to leap back up to the cliff so he could find the cats.
"Wait." Erza uttered, "Pl…Please wait." She uttered again with her cheeks a bit red in embarrassment.
Sato paused, looking at Erza who had her eyes swaying around as she rubbed her arm as if shy of what she was about to say.
She kept looking at Sato and the ground until she finally had the courage to tell out what she wanted to say.
"I don't know my way around here, please take me back to Tamron!" Erza yelled.
"Eh?" Sato gave out a weird expression.
"I know it's too much to ask after I… Uhm…".
"Kicked me in the face?"
"Y…Yeah, that."
"Uhm?" Sato tilted his head to the side with a puzzled expression as he stared at Erza.
Erza grabbed dress, squeezing it tightly as she stared at the ground flustered.
"I… uhmm..".
Sato laughed,
"Hey, it's not funny!" Erza shouted.
"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be laughing, but how hard is it for a lady to ask for help and just apologize?" Sato said, with a tear in his eye after laughing so hard.
"What?! You apologize too then, you did look…look up my skirt!" Feeling more flustered, she yelled facing the sky as she tried to hide her face.
"You're right." Sato walked toward her, he grabbed her hand, "I'm sorry, was that okay?" He asked.
"Yeah… I guess so".
"Great, now step back."
"Uhn."
All of a sudden, Sato pulled her toward him, as a ball of water began to cover them from his feet up like an egg.
Erza was shocked yet again, that was until she heard the howling of multiple wolves charging toward their position.
"Are those?." Erza said, falling on the floor of water from the previous pull.
She immediately stood to her feet, looking around to see that she was in a cocoon of water.
"Where am I?" Erza asked as she slowly stood to her feet, looking around to see how beautiful the inside of the water cocoon was.
Gboom!
The water cocoon began to vibrate like something was smashing against it continuously.
"Looks like they are after you." Sato said with a smile, "Hold on".
He grabbed Erza on the waist and pulled her close. Erza was flustered as her hands rested on Sato's chest with her face close to his.
"Shall we." Sato muttered.
The cocoon burst open with sharp water waves following right after. All the werewolves moved back to avoid getting killed by the waves.
Once the water was down, Sato landed on the ground with his arms still wrapped around Erza's waist.
"Well well well, what do we have here?" One of the wolves uttered, walking slowly to the left with its eyes fixed on Sato.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Erza asserted.
The wolf transformed into a man, wearing a black fury coat with a high hat on his head and a one-eyed high glass.
"Erza, the daughter of Vlad the Vampire lord, you've come quite far away from home." The man said with a smirk.
"Who the hell are you?" Erza asked again.
Sato just stood there watching as the other wolves tried to surround him without letting them know.
"Here's an offer, come with me and he doesn't get hurt." The man said.
"He? What do you mean by, he?" Erza voiced out, getting angry at the way the man was staring at her.
The man tapped his finger and a dark smoke gushed out from underneath his feet which materialized into Sebastian, Erza's butler.
Feeling enraged after seeing her butler badly wounded on the ground, Erza pulled away from Sato and stormed toward the man with her eyes glowing.
"How dare you?!" She yelled, the groove erupting in lava as earthquakes began to build up and the sky turned darker.
