Sorry for late update, I've been busy with school and catching up on a few stories I've been reading, and working on a few drabble request on tumblr (13katsumirose24). But here is the second chapter. Hope you guys like it~

Chapter Two- Revelations

Law's eyes widened as the vampire fell to her knees, her hands going to her stomach. She hissed in pain, but showed no signs of attacking her shooter. She only stared at Law, her violet eyes filled with something he couldn't grasp.

The dark-haired male looked over to his right, seeing Nami standing there, gun in hand. She had a bag over her shoulder and her dress was hitched up, revealing thick boots and black stockings. She looked like she was hiking through the woods, most likely looking for Law.

He realized it was late and he remembered everyone saying they would meet back at the inn when they got back from checking out the village. Chopper or Bepo probably told the group that Law went on a walk. He figured everyone was looking for him.

Nami was glaring at the vampire before Law and then she turned to him, her eyes narrowed.

"What is wrong with you? She could've killed you, you should have shot her! You are a vampire hunter!" she shouted at him, causing him to wince. He knew she was right, but there was something about this vampire. Law didn't like this feeling, he didn't know how to explain this, and he had never felt this way before.

"I don't know what came over me," Law told her. He looked at the vampire in front of him, surprised to see her still staring at him. He then looked back at Nami, "I think we should take her with us and question her. We might be able to find out where the thing is that we're looking for."

Nami gave him an odd look before a thoughtful expression took over her face. She then looked at the vampire then back to Law and she nodded, "I see what you mean; besides you are the 'surgeon'."

His lips twitched as he fought a smile, and he nodded, "Of course." From the corner of his eye, he saw the vampire's eyes widen as she realized what Nami was saying.

Nami then pulled a rope from her bag and approached the vampire, who only watched the female hunter closely, but didn't move away from her. The orange haired woman tied the vampire's wrist together and forced her to her feet. Nami then handed the rope to Law, who took it without complaining, and they began walking out of the woods.

The hunters seemed surprised that the vampire didn't fight or struggle; she simply followed them without a word. But she was tense, her body trembling slightly, and Law could tell she was scared. He tried not thinking about that for long.

When the three got to the edge of the forest, Nami turned to him, her hands in her hips, "It will look odd of you walk into the village with her, so you stay in the woods."

Law gritted his teeth, but nodded, knowing that Nami was right. He didn't enjoy her telling him what to do (he didn't like anyone telling him what to do for that matter), but she had a point. "I will question her here in the woods, and I can do it alone," he told her.

She raised her brow at him but nodded and then turned on her heels. "See you when the job is done."

Law waved to her as she walked away and then he marched off into the woods, vampire in tow.

She followed willingly.

The forest was dark, but Law had trained his eyes to see in the dark. It was easier to track vampires when he was hunting. It took time for him to learn how to do it, but it paid off.

He could see the vampire before him; she was tied to a tree trunk, staring at the ground. She had been staring at him until he grabbed her by the throat and threatened her. He was tired of this odd feeling and blamed it on her. Vampires did have the ability to mess with the human mind, and Law was normally good at blocking it. He assumed that the reason she could do it was because she was different than most vampires.

The hunter cleared his throat and stepped towards her once more, he put his gun to her chin, titling her head back, and nearly hissed out his question, "Where is your clan, vampire?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," she whispered and he dug the barrel of the gun into her flesh, causing a gasp of pain to escape her lips. Law made sure that he dipped his gun into holy water before he began this.

"I know you're lying to me, so tell me. I will make your death quicker and less painful if you tell me now."

She hissed when he held his cross against her arm, leaving a scar on her pale skin. Her violet eyes were filled with pain and she bared her teeth at him. He didn't even flinch. He only pressed the cross down harder.

"I'm not part of the clan," she gasped out, closing her eyes. "I was, but then I didn't like killing humans. So I left. I don't know where they are, all I know is they are here in town..." she opened her eyes and stared at him, seeing cold grey eyes glaring at her. "It is the truth. After I left, they moved their home somewhere else, and I haven't seen them since. Though I don't want to look for them, I hate them..." the last part was spoken lowly and Law questioned himself if he heard that right.

"You hate them?"

She nodded, "Their leader turned me against my will. I didn't want to be a vampire, I hate being one..."

Law raised a brow and gave her a questioning look.

"I hate being a monster..."

Law was confused; he figured that most vampires enjoyed being a monster. He thought they liked being strong and beautiful, being able to do things that humans couldn't.

But he shook his head, "I don't believe you."

She sighed, "I figured." Her violet eyes went back the ground. "I would help you defeat the clan, but seeing as though I am a vampire..."

Law's brow raised even higher, "Why would you betray your own kind?"

"I already told you, I hate them."

The hunter moved away from her, confused. He never would've thought that a vampire would feel that way about their own kind.

He looked over her face and then his eyes flickered to hers, trying to see if she was telling the truth and he saw that she was.

Law stepped closer to her once more and stared into her eyes, her staring back at him, and then he sighed. He then cut the ropes holding her to the tree. Her eyes widened and she stared at him in disbelief.

"Go before I change my mind," he told her.

"...You're actually letting me go...?" she asked quietly. She was still in disbelief and shock.

"Do you not want me to let you go?" he asked, his brow raised once more.

"I'm just... surprised that you, Trafalgar Law, the 'surgeon of death', is letting me go."

He shrugged, "You are different."

She tilted her head and raised a pink brow, "Because I drink animal blood?"

"That and you don't care if I killed the clan we're after."

The vampire nodded slowly, "Well... thank you."

Law nodded and then she turned to run away when he grabbed her wrist. Her body tensed and she turned to him.

"...Before you go, tell me your name," Law said.

She smiled, "Jewelry Bonney."

And then she was gone.

Law returned to the inn, still confused about why he had let the vampire, Jewelry Bonney, go. He knew that if any of the hunters found out about it, they would hate him. They would probably kick him out of the hunting community. Nobody would want him there anymore. He prayed that no one would find out.

He walked over to where his group was sitting, in the corner of the bar, and sat down. Nami raised her brow as if to ask how the 'job' went. And then Zoro asked him how it went. Law merely shrugged, stating that it went fine, though she wasn't much help to them finding the clan. Zoro nodded, and Law looked away, but saw Robin giving him an odd look, as if she knew what he did. It made him feel uncomfortable, though he ordered whiskey to hide that fact.

He hoped she didn't know, but he knew that Robin was smart, a lot smarter than him. She could be dangerous if she knew.

But Law shook that feeling off. He was just being paranoid. There was no way that she knew he let Jewelry go.

The bartender gave him his drink and he drained it in one big gulp, wincing at the burning in his throat. Most of the time, Law would've asked for another, but he decided against it. He decided that he would turn in for the night. He told his group that he would be heading for bed, stating that he was exhausted. But the truth was he wanted to get away from a pair of knowing eyes. Eyes that were making him feel nervous.

The other hunters nodded understandingly and told him good night, and then Law left to go to his room.

Once his door was closed, he left out a breathe he didn't know he was holding and leaned against the door. He ran his hand through his hair, wondering what was wrong with him. He then ran his hand down his face, and held the bridge of his nose.

Maybe I shouldn't have let this vampire go...he thought to himself as he rubbed his eyes.

He suddenly felt tired like he had told his group and made his way to the bed he would be sleeping in. He sat down and began untying his boots. When his boots were off, he shrugged out of his coat. He hung his coat on the bed post and then unbuttoned his vest; he folded it up and placed in on the bedside table.

Law laid back, not even bothering with the blanket at the foot of the bed. He stared at the ceiling for a long time, thinking about how he probably made the biggest mistake in his life. He knew that it was a bad idea. He knew that he shouldn't have trust Jewelry. He knew he should have killed her when he was in the forest.

Law closed his eyes, hoping sleep would come soon. But his mind was full of regrets and things he couldn't take back, things he couldn't do over again. He tried to will the thoughts away, but they would just come back. Eventually Law gave up on sleep and got out of bed, and went over to his bag that the inn master's son brought up for him earlier that day.

He opened it and brought out his journal as well as a feather pen and a small jar of ink. He walked over to the small desk in the corner of the room, nearly tripping over Bepo's bag, and pulled the chair from the desk, and sat down. He placed the jar of ink before him, beside the notebook, and held the feather in his hand. He opened the leather bound journal and opened to a blank page. He opened the jar and dipped the pen into it, and then began to write the date and time. He then dipped the feather in more ink and began to write.

Today, I made a big mistake. I let a vampire go... I have no idea what in God's name I was thinking. I have the slightest idea why I did it. I don't know what came over me. And that terrifies me. It terrifies me that someone will find out what I did. My reputation will be ruined. I will be shunned as a vampire hunter.

I am shocked at what I did, and it makes me think that something is wrong with me. I am the 'Surgeon of Death', one of the most feared and respected vampire hunter in the world, and I made this mistake... What would my family think? Hell, they probably think that I am not getting revenge for their deaths...

What have I done?

When I find that vampire... I will kill her. Kill her like I should have done before.

Law stared down at the entry, his hand trembling. His grey eyes bored down on the last sentence.

Would he kill her?

He knew that he should in order to make sure she didn't tell the vampire what he had done, as well as to not expose him. She was a vampire and he was a hunter, he should have killed her. He should kill her.

But, the thought of killing Jewelry sent a weird, sick feeling to his stomach. The thought of killing her made him feel uncomfortable.

Law closed the journal and stared at the worn black cover, his mind going elsewhere. Going back to the vampire. To Jewelry Bonney.

Law realized that he felt... drawn to her. And that scared him.

Jewelry Bonney ran.

Ran from where the hunter; Trafalgar Law, the 'Surgeon of Death', let her go.

She was shocked that he had let her go, not only because he was a hunter and she was a vampire, but because of /who/ he was.

He was the most feared of all vampire hunters. The mention of his name sent chills down a vampire's spine. Trafalgar Law terrifiedvampires. Sure, there were other hunters that vampires feared; like the one they called 'Smoker' or Rayleigh, and even the 'Straw Hats'; but Law was intimidating.

But he had let Bonney go.

The pink-haired vampire stopped running, finding herself gasping for breath, even though she didn't need to breathe.

She stared at the leaf-covered forest floor, her violet eyes wide.

Why had he let her go? She was so sure that he would kill her, but... he had told her she was different than other vampires. Different because she drank animal blood instead of killing innocent humans.

She was shocked that he believed her about everything she said, she was sure he wouldn't believe her despite telling the truth. She had no idea where the vampire clan was anymore, she had left them. She hated them. But when she saw that he believed her, she was confused.

This whole situation was confusing.

She knew that she should let it go and disappear, but for some odd reason she couldn't. It would be easier if she just dropped it, considering she was alive and free. But... she felt... like she couldn't leave it alone.

She straightened and then ran a hand through her long hair. She then caught sight of something on her wrist. She looked down at her flesh and saw a scar shaped like a cross... the new scar that Law had given her. She knew that she should have been angry, but the feeling of anger never came. She stared at the scar with a curious expression and pressed her finger to it. It didn't hurt, it just felt... odd.

Especially when she remembered when he grabbed her wrist.

She remembered the feeling of his warm skin on her cold flesh, remembered the feeling of blood pumping through the veins in his hands. The memories made her feel... strangely warm and... content. It was an abnormal feeling, something she hadn't felt in a long time. A feeling she hadn't felt since she was human...

Bonney shook her head, not wanting to think about her life as a human. Those memories didn't mean anything anymore. There was no point on dwelling on the past. She couldn't have it back, never. She would have to live forever, so she chose not to think about her stolen mortality.

The vampire began running again, wanting to shake off the feelings that were resurfacing. She didn't want to think about anything, so she decided to hunt.

She took a deep breath, and focused on the forest around her. She could hear the noises of the night animals walking about, the sounds of the owls and other night creatures. Nothing alerted her, until she heard a growl. A growl from a mountain lion. She licked her lips and opened her eyes, which were now red with the thirst for blood. She zeroed in in the animal before she became to stalk in.

She waited for the right opportunity, which happened to be when the cat crouched down to get a drink. She jumped down quickly and quietly, and grabbed onto the creature with great speed. The cat growled and hissed, struggling to get out of her grip, but she held on. She was much stronger than the animal, and she began to feel the cat's attempts to get free weaken as it soon realized she was stronger.

Bonney bared her fangs and sunk her teeth into the creatures throat, finishing her meal as fast as she could, wanting to end the animal's suffering. She knew how it felt to have razor sharp teeth buried in flesh, the pain. The feeling of life being sucked out of your body. The feeling of weakness...

When she was done with her meal, she laid the cat's still body on the forest floor and pets the soft fur of the mountain lion, whispering words of apology.

She hated killing. Human or not. The loss of life had always affected her. It hurt her, knowing that she had caused the animals that she killed pain.

It made her feel like a monster. Made her hate herself even more.

Bonney sighed as she looked up at the night sky, her eyes turning violet once more. Her fangs returned back to normal and she wiped the blood from her lips.

She looked at the blood on the back of her hand, almost with a look of disgust. She hated this. Hated being a vampire. She never asked for this, never asked to be a vampire. She hadn't even had the chance to live a human life; she had been turned because the leader of the vampire clan had wanted her to be by his side. But she didn't want to be there, and she hated the bastard for this.

She had been serious when she told Law that she would help kill the clan, not even caring that she would be betraying her own kind. As long as her creatorwas dead.

For years, she had wanted to kill him, but knew she wasn't strong enough to do that. He was far more stronger than her, considering he had been a vampire longer than her, but he was one of the strongest and most powerful of the vampires. She would be dead long before he even had the chance to kill him.

But Law was strong enough. She believed that he could do it, even though she had only just met him...

She shook her head at the last thought she had and looked back at the mountain lion. Her violet eyes wondering over the magnificent creature one last time before she began running again.

Running away as always, she thought to herself. Never having anywhere to go... always running...

Oh, and another note, for those who follow/read We Are Young... I am disclosing it for now. I have no interest in writing it at the moment, and I may or may not put it up for adoption if people are interested in writing it. Just thought I should tell you guys.
