(Erza: WOOOOOOO!!! My turn again! Lyon's hair looks like a duck butt (XD). Anyway, I hope this chapter helps to clear so speculations about this AU and about the vampires and general and maybe even a little more about our heroes.)

Magnolia, Fiore
Fairy Hunters Headquarters, training classroom
6:32 a.m.
"An exorcist cram class?" Lucy asks, still yawning from being awoken three hours earlier than usual.
"Exactly. Since you four are being brought back into the exorcist life, you need to relearn your history," Gildarts smirked, slamming a huge, old book on the desk in front of him, waking up Gray, who was asleep, "all of it."
"Why would we need to know history? We already have a college class to tell us that stuff." Natsu sipped more of the "tomato" juice his brother was giving out to the vampires.
"Natsu, these lessons applies to tamed vampires as well." Zeref gives his little brother a look as he handed a drink to Juvia.
"Basically, these lessons will re-teach you everything we know about vampires and exorcists." Makarov heard the boys groan.
"I woke up at three in the morning for more school?!" Gajeel shouted, getting smacked by Levy in the process.
"What the hell, Shrimp?!" He shouts again.
"Stupid Gajeel! You were once an exorcist's son too! Don't you want to know more about your father?" She shouts and Gajeel doesn't attempt to give a comeback.
"Whatever! It's not like I remember the old man anyway!" Gajeel shouted, taking his juice and sipping it angrily.
"Anyway! Starting from the beginning..." Zeref opened the large history book and began to read.
"Exorcists weren't always around. They didn't actually appear until a case known as Jack the Ripper showed up in England in the late 1800s. Around that time, there were the seven slayers, who went around the world to slay creatures that had begun to appear during the night to suck a human's blood dry: the vampire.
These seven were known as the founders of the Fairy Hunters Guild, the main exorcist headquarters for vampire slayers and demon hunters. They are the ancestors to the seven clans that dominate this guild:
• The head of the Scarlets, the exorcists that live up to their name of the Knights of Crimson.
• The head of the Dreyars, the exorcists born with special abilities that enhance their power to sense vampires in the area and their skills in fighting. They were the only known clan of Fairy exorcists.
• The head of the Heartfilias, a group of exorcists where a girl from the clan would be born every century with the power blessed to them from a spiritual being known as the Celestial Spirit King. This was known as the Celestial Maiden.
• The head of the Fullbusters held a powerful being in there grasps. They caught the vampire known as the Yuki-Onna, who was known for being a vampire with the powers of their clan, ice and snow.
• The heads of the Dragneel, Eucliffe and Redfox clan however, were somewhat like the Fairies. They only different was that they were born with abilities that can power their physical strength and supernatural powers, much like a vampire but, much stronger than those that vampires possessed if they trained long enough. They were known as the Dragonic exorcists.
The bond between their guild was strong. However, centuries later, a link in the great chain would break.
It started with the argument between two brothers, the heirs to the Dragneel clan, Igneel and Acnologia. Acnologia was the eldest but, their late father chose Igneel to be the next to lead their clan. The elder brother was furious and let darkness take over his heart and eventually, even his powers as a Dragonic exorcist.
It wasn't until twenty years after that he began his rampage. He began to kill everything his eyes landed on, even went as on trying to murder his nephews while the youngest son was being tested to become an exorcist. Igneel wouldn't allow it though. So, in the heat of battle to protect his sons, he fought his brother but, he was killed along with most of the other clan leaders by his forces that had appeared.
By using dark magic, he became the ruler of the underworld and was soon named, the Nightmare King of the underworld with all the demons and vampires under his control."
"Woah! There demons too?!" Lucy shouts.
"I'm getting to that." Zeref says.
"So, how did we come to taming vampires?" Levy asks.
"After the incident with Acnologia, it was discovered that exorcists could make bonds with vampires by using complicated magic spells and blood to lure a wild vampire in, earning them the name 'tamed' as a sign of the vampire realizing their humanity and accepting it. This is usually done on vampires that were once human." Zeref turns to a particular chapter.
"So, wait. What's the difference between those assholes-" Gray points over to Natsu and Gajeel.
"HEY!!!" Natsu and Gajeel shout.
"And the assholes that attacked us in the first place?" he crosses his arms over his chest, already untying the tie he was wearing.
"Well, there are about four different types of vampires that we know of. The first and probably least dangerous of the vampires are the pureblood. A pureblood is when a vampire is born with one hundred percent vampire blood. These can usually be made when two strong wild vampires breed. Purebloods don't exactly do much damage though. They are incapable to stand in the sun and can't eat human food as leisurely as you six can." Zeref says to the vampires, "But, purebloods have better control of their bloodlust and if they train enough, they can contain unmeasurable power."
"Alright..." Levy was taking note.
"Then, there are tamed vampires and the wild vampires, which are more commonly known as 'the frenzies'. Both come from humans that were turned into vampires. Usually, if a fledgeling don't find a master, they have a harder time finding food. As time passes and they don't feed for a long period of time, the part that makes them human slowly starts to disappear, making the vampire nothing but a bloodthirsty savage beast. That is a frenzy. When exorcists tame a vampire, it means that they accept their human side and are able to control themselves a little better. Ability wise, it really just depends on the vampire. They all have different powers and abilities that they can use to fight with. Some are more powerful than others. And then, there's the thing about mates but, we don't wanna go into that..." Zeref's face turns slightly red.
"Mates?" Gray questions.
"WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT FUCKING TALK AGAIN!!!" Gajeel shouts, jumping from his seat as Zeref's flushed face started to grow redder.
"Oh shit! We did forget about that!" Gildarts suddenly shouts.
"About what exactly?" Silver looked annoyed.
"The Blood Moon, the red fucking moon is coming out soon and we have all these horny males in here!" Gildarts gives the eye to all the boys in the room.
Zeref coughs, "I wouldn't word it like that but, I understand what he means. That moon is coming out in the next few weeks. It would be wise to prepare for it." Zeref begins to explain.
"The Blood Moon? I think I've heard of that somewhere before." Jellal asks.
"While having a tamed vampire increases the tamer's strength and the bonds between a vampire and an exorcist, there is a rule that love between the two are forbidden. Also, just to make a note, vampires that were turned, meaning they were once human, can't turn other humans, only purebloods can do that. But, that can be made an exception on a particular night every seven years. This is known as the Blood Moon Night. While it only affects male vampires, for a full twelve hours, they'll be hunting in search for their mate to turn them." Zeref finished.
"In other words, all of you boys are going to go all perv on the girl you like." Gildarts glares at them all once again, with the exception of Gray, who was smug like the bastard he is.
"Stripper, I swear to Mavis if you continue wearing that smirk, I'm gonna give you a makeover with my fist." Gajeel looks annoyed as he and Gray stare off at each other menacingly.
"Try me, screws-for-brains. You or ashhole over there go anywhere near Luce and Lev, I'll give you a beating." Gray shouts back, unintentionally taking off his shirt and throwing it somewhere.
"Gray-sama, your clothes..." Juvia blushed.
"I don't time for that!" Gray shouts.
"Wanna bet that you can't beat me?" Gajeel cracks his knuckles.
"I'm all fired up now!" Natsu smirks.
Gray shouts, "Your move, bastards."
"It's on, Stripper!" Gajeel charges.
"For once, I agree!" Natsu joins the brawl between the two idiots.
"Natsu!" Lucy shouts as she failed to control the pinkette.
"I'll go help Natsu and fight for you, baby cuz!" Loke also jumped in and Lucy sighed in defeat.
"They're fighting like girls..." Lyon also looked annoyed, not knowing that the girls were all glaring at him.
"Wanna say that to my face, duckass?!" Gray shouts.
"Damn it, Gray! My hair is just fucking like this!!!" Lyon also shouts and begins fighting with Gray.
Erza's eye began to twitch as she began to get annoyed.
"I swear... he's been like this ever since we moved in together..." Levy sighs.
"Remember Jet and Droy?" Lucy giggles.
"Yep... They used to hit on me so much that Erza and Gray's aura alone made them back off." Levy giggles as she remembers.
"Erza, I'll handle the boys." Jellal, the only sane male in the room approached the idiotic boys.
"Now then, do I use the easy way or the hard way to end this ridiculous feud?" the other males stopped.
"Oh, girls! Start taking notes!" Gildarts shouts.
"Why, Mr. Clive?" Levy asks.
"A lesson in vampires, ladies. As Zeref said, all vampires possess some type of power or skill that they can activate in battle. All of 'em have enhanced senses and speed but, they possess one ability that's more powerful than everything that they have combined." he explains and points at Juvia to demonstrate.
"O-Ok! Water Lock!" Juvia traps one of the chairs in the room in a bubble of water, having it floating safely off the ground and back.
"The others and I can't access our full powers unless we have an intake of our master's blood every few months or so, this is all Juvia can do for now." she smiles and watches the boys.
"So, you think you can take us all on at once?" Natsu asks, cracking his knuckles.
Jellal chuckles, "I'm not stupid, Natsu. I know that I don't have as much physical strength as the lot of you but, I am still definitely much stronger than you."
Zeref sits himself, amused with the battle.
Jellal closes his eyes and Loke realizes what he's doing.
"Shit, we're so screwed." the lion gulped.
"Eh? All he's doing is closing his eyes!" Gajeel shouts but, then sees what Loke ment.
Jellal's tattoo was turning black, his eyes opened to be the color of crimson.
"So then, would anyone like to rethink their decision?" he asks.
"So you got an instant makeover, so what?!" Natsu goes to punch him.
Jellal sighs, "To think that I actually had to use this on you idiots..."
"This is about to get interesting." Zeref chuckles.
"Enough talking and use your fists!" Natsu was so close to punching Jellal.
"Freeze."
"Eh?" Natsu's stance froze in mid-punch, as if the world was only slowing around him and he fell straight onto the ground.
"So, you're finally using the famous mind-controlling eyes? I'd like to see you try to fight me with that!" Gajeel vanished for a moment before appearing right behind Jellal.
Erza was slightly shocked and stood to protect him but, was grabbed by Juvia.
"Let's see you try to block this!" Gajeel's skin started to turn into metal, ready to strike the blunette over the head but, his arm was grabbed by Jellal.
"A little too slow, Gajeel-san." Jellal flipped Kurogane over his shoulder and side kicked him into the classroom desk.
"The rumors about Tattoo's powers are true then." Zeref chuckles.
"What do you mean, Headmaster?" Lucy asks.
"There is a reason why Jellal was second-in-command in the demon realm and the clan leader of the Crime Sorciere guild in the underworld. He holds the power of the Devil's Eye." Zeref was amused with the discovery.
"Devil's Eye? That explains a few things." Gildarts pops open his whisk.
"What is this thing Jellal has, sir?" Erza asks.
"It's not called Devil's Eye for nothing. As long as he can see, he can control anyone he wants, with absolutely no limitations." Zeref explains
"Unless he gets a wife." Gildarts chuckles and Zeref sighs as his phone begins to ring.
"Alright. Call him off before we have to cover more damage costs to the room." Zeref gets up to answer his phone.
"Jellal! That's enough." Erza calls Jellal off, his tattoo turning back into the red color and his eyes reverted back into brown.
"Now, stop acting like children." Jellal says as the five boys were sitting on their knees with bumps on their heads.
"Yes, sir..." the boys groan in pain.
Zeref steps out of the room, answering the call.
"Hello?" he listens to the voice on the other side and his dark eyes widen.
"What do you mean she's coming home early?!"
