Chapter 1:

"Geez Natsu. You didn't have to get in a fight with Gray again you know...We almost didn't get our reward!"

Erza nodded, "I think its time to wrap up this fight don't you think?" Erza stepped in front of Natsu and Gray and pushed their heads apart, so that they each fell on the ground.

I sighed as I watched Erza, Gray, and Natsu. This wasn't going to end well...

Fairy Tail was its usual, busy self. Everyone was walking around and chatting.

I made my way over to Wendy, who was talking with Carla.

"Lucy! You guys are back!" Wendy called.

I smiled and sat down across from them.

"Yeah. We're back! How did things go here?" I asked Wendy.

Wendy frowned and looked down. "Well, there's...a girl who joined our guild...that claims to be a dragon slayer!"

I froze. What? Another dragon slayer? Why did we never notice her?

"Did she join?" I asked Wendy. Wendy nodded, "Yes. She's very strong. She uses elemental magic, which surpasses Gajeel and Natsu's power range. However, she doesn't exactly know..."

Wendy's words were cut off by the sound of howling wind.

"What's going on?" I yelled.

Wendy put her hands over her ears, "She doesn't know how to control her powers!" Wendy yelled.

Uh-oh.

Trouble.

Finally, the howling wind stopped. I dropped my head on the table. "How...long...has..this...been...going on?"

Wendy was sighing. "A day after you guys left."

"What does master think of this?" I asked.

"He said we should teach her to control her powers. That's why she came here. Her powers have suddenly become unstable you see," Wendy said. I nodded thoughtfully and looked across the room.

By Mirajane, was a girl, about my age. She had light blue hair that fell over her shoulders, her eyes were fairly pink, and she was looking at me.

"Well, might as well introduce myself," I mumbled.

I walked over to her and smiled, "Hi! I'm Lucy. I heard you're new." The girl gave a smile and sighed, "Yeah. I'm new. I better go before the ice starts freezing the place over..."

I frowned, "You know what's happening in advance?" I asked. She nodded and before I could get another word in, she had raced out, a trail of ice behind her as she went. I sighed and turned to Mirajane. "Is she going to be find?" I asked.

Mirajane shrugged, "I hope so. She's had a hard time trying to control her powers. Master wants us to help her."

I nodded, "But she seems so distant."

How do we help her? When she seems to be stronger than Half the guild?
