When Gray woke up he did not feel like himself. In fact he felt completely different. He was so unbearably thirsty but not for water. No it was for blood. Wait why would he be thirsting for blood? He put his hand to his mouth and his finger felt something sharp that was inside of his jawline. It was a fang but he didn't have any fangs. His nails were so sharp, like claws.

"Feeling a little blood thirsty Gray?" Ultear asked with a twisted smile.

"What have you done to me?" He asked.

"I have given you the curse of nosferatu. The vampire. For all eternity you shall live in the night and kill others to survive."

"Why?! Why have you done this to me?!"

"To prove to you once in for all that I am the only one who will ever love you. Do you think that your brother and that stupid hussy Juliette will love you once they find out you're one of the undead? You're only hope of ever being happy is to love me."

"No! Never!"

"Don't believe me? Go on then. Go to your loved ones and watch as the flee in terror at you."

Gray got to his feet and ran out into the night, determined to get away from the evil witch who had cursed him.

Meanwhile Lyon, Ur, and Juliette were horrified to find Wendy dead and their horror was only increased when Gray suddenly disappeared without a trace. Lyon went out to look for him leaving Ur and Juliette at home in case he came back. With two members of the Fullbuster family dead they were terrified that Gray was doomed to suffer a tragic death as well.

"I'm so frightened Ur." Juliette said.

"I know my dear but have faith. Lyon will find Gray."

"This is all just so terrifying and confusing. First Silver dies in a shipwreck when a storm is not even predicted to come on that day, then poor Wendy dies of some unknown illness, and now Gray's vanished. It's almost like there's some higher force at work here."

With those words spoken something dawned on Ur.

"Yes it does seem that way doesn't it. Excuse me Juliette but I need to check on something."

"Of course I'll just sit here."

As soon as Ur was gone and Juliette was alone the window to the room blew open and the wind carried a message toward her. Juliette read the message, it was from Gray. He was asking her to meet him alone in the woods. Worried that Gray was hurt, Juliette quickly left the house and went into the woods to see her fiance.

"Gray." She called looking around. "Gray are you here?"

But she saw nothing but trees and darkness. As the wind blew against the trees she could hear a voice laughing.

"Who's there?" She asked.

"You have nothing to fear Juliette." The voice said. "It is I Ultear, Ur's daughter and loyal maid servant to the Fullbuster family."

"Where are you? I can't see you."

"That is not important right now."

"Why are you here?"

"I have come to warn you."

"Warn me about what?"

"About Gray. You shouldn't have gone to meet him."

"Why do you mean?"

"He is no longer the man you love Juliette. He is now a grotesque blood thirsty animal who is on his way to kill you."

"That's not true! Gray loves me!"

"But it is true. He has fangs, claws, a soul that thrives on darkness and blood. When he arrives he will savagely tear you apart and drink your blood until you are nothing more than a rotting corpse."

"Stop it! It's not true! It can't be true!"

"If you do not believe me that let me show you what is in your future tonight."

Juiette's mind was then filled with horrible visions of the man she loved now a horrific monster who tore her apart and slaughtered her like a rabid wolf. It was inhuman. She had never seen anything that scared her so much in her entire life. She screamed and tried to do anything to get rid of these visions in her head. Then she saw Gray walking toward her with the fangs and claws he had in her vision. He really was a monster and he had come to kill her.

"No!" She cried out when she saw him. "No! Keep away!"

"Juliette are you alright?" He asked her.

"No! I know what you are! Don't touch me! You're not human!"

"Juliette I can explain."

"No! Stay away from me you monster!"

He tried to take her hand but ran from him.

"Juliette wait!"

He chased after her, desperately trying to tell her that despite his transformation he was still the man she loved and that he would never harm her for anything in the world. But the vision spell that Ultear had cast over Juliette had traumatized her so much that she all she wanted to do was get away from what she believed to be a monster trying to kill her. During the chase Gray noticed that in her desperate attempt to leave him, Juliette wasn't really paying attention to where she was going and she was heading right for Widow's hill. A cliff by the sea where many a despondent soul had leapt to their death.

"No Juliette! Don't go there!" Gray begged.

"No Gray! No!" She screamed while crying hysterically.

He called out to her to stop but she didn't listen and he couldn't stop her from going over the cliff, falling to her death, and disappearing into the tides.

"No!" He wailed out in a voice filled with more agony that he had ever felt in his entire life. She was dead. Juliette was dead. The woman he loved was dead just like his father and sister. And now he was a monster doomed to live forever without them. He couldn't live like this. He was tempted to throw himself off the cliffs too but he knew that wouldn't kill him. No he needed someone to stake him in the heart and he knew just the person to do it.

He went back to the house just as Lyon had returned from his search and met him just outside the house gates.

"Gray thank God you're alright." Lyon said with relief.

"No don't come any closer." Gray said.

"Gray what's wrong with you?"

Gray opened up his jaw and showed him his fangs. Lyon stepped back in horror.

"Dear God what's happened to you?"

"It was Ultear."

"Ultear?"

"She turned me into a vampire after she killed Father and Wendy."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

"She's a witch Lyon and she used her dark powers to kill Father and Wendy, then turn me into this hideous creature, and finally to kill Juliette."

"Juliette is dead?"

"She threw herself from Widow's hill because of Ultear's spell. I tried to stop her but I wasn't quick enough."

"I don't believe this."

"It seems impossible brother but it's the truth. Other than you and Ur the three people I loved most in this world are dead and now I am going to walk every night killing people to survive."

"No! No this can't be! There must be someway to undo this!"

"There is Lyon. You have to kill me."

"What?"

"You heard me! Kill me! Stake me in the heart! End my misery!"

"I can't! You're my brother!"

"The man you knew as your brother is dead! All that remains of him is a monstrous husk! Please Lyon! Don't let me live like this!"

Lyon couldn't believe what he was hearing. His brother, his little brother, his only remaining family had now become an undead creature of the night and was begging him to kill him. He couldn't imagine himself doing such a thing but he had heard the legends of the vampire and if Gray had indeed become one then he knew what fate had in store for him. Nights of hunting down and killing innocent people for their blood. A soul eternally tormented by the devil. It was a fate worse than death.

"Alright." Lyon said reluctantly. "What must I do?"

"Tomorrow morning I'll be too weak to fight back. I'm going to sleep in one of the coffins in the family mausoleum. When the time comes I want you to drive a wooden stake into my heart. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Good. I love you Lyon."

"I love you too." Tears were already streaming down Lyon's cheeks.

Gray then walked away from his brother and went to the family mausoleum. Ultear had heard their conversation and immediately went back to her quarters to get the voodoo doll she had made of Lyon. Her plan was to kill Lyon so that he would not destroy Gray but upon arriving to her room she found her mother waiting for her with the doll in her hand. Her eyes filled with so much hurt and betrayal.

"I didn't want to believe it." She said trembling. "I prayed to God above that my suspicions were wrong. In my heart I was so sure that my own daughter wasn't capable of such evil. But you are aren't you?"

"Give me the doll Mother."

"How could you do this Ultear? How could you kill Silver and Wendy and Juliette? How could you turn Gray into a vampire?"

"It didn't have to come to this Mother. If he had just loved me-"

"You don't know what real love is. If you did you wouldn't have hurt so many innocent people. You have betrayed me."

The poor woman was overflowing with anger, disappointment, and heartbreak.

"Are you going to expose me? See to it that I'm hanged? If you do you'll be exposing yourself and you'll hang along with me."

"I don't care what happens to me!" She cried in a voice that made Ultear fear that her end was drawing closer. "But despite the unforgivable things you've done I still love you and if you were to die right now you would burn in hell and I can't bear another person I love suffering. However I won't allow you to terrorize Lyon or any descendants he may bring into this world. I want you to leave this place Ultear and never come back."

"You can't make me."

"Oh can't I? I'm more powerful than you and you know it and if I do have to see you hang to prevent you from harming anyone else in this house so be it but I will give you this one chance to save yourself. Leave and don't return ever!"

"You're exiling me? Your own daughter?"

"It's the only punishment I can think of that ensures you live and I hereby put a curse of my own on you.

If he doth lose one who holds his heart

Forever they shall not part

Together they shall be

For all eternity."

"What curse is that?"

"You may have killed Gray's true love but this spell ensures that they will not be parted forever. One day Gray will find his one true love again and if you try to kill her it will be your undoing. That is your curse. To never have Gray's love."

Then using whatever magic she had left, Ur banished her daughter from the Fullbuster estate.
