(A/N: As requested, I am continuing this story ^.^ Should be fun and interesting, however, I wasn't happy with the rushed one shot, so I have edited the first chapter a bit, removed, and added a couple parts, so that it makes more sense in the long run~ Still the same story but with more emotion and a nicer flow to the narration ^.^ Hope you enjoy!)
It was a new world; she didn't understand how she had arrived.
Her name was Hannah.
Her world had no magic and was - in a word - boring. Magic only existed in motion pictures and books- and in their imagination, she had no idea how she'd gotten to the city of Magnolia but it happened.
Hannah was of average height and had long red wavy hair; she was wearing a red, low-cut vest top and black jeans that complimented her curves. Her shoes were black, wedged ankle boots that had a felt feel to them; though they looked great with the outfit, they made it hard for her to walk at this moment in time. Because, for some unknown reason, she felt extremely weak…
"W-Where am I?" she mumbled to herself, holding her head feeling dizzy. Hannah was leaning against a cobbled wall of a house; glancing around at this new environment she found a strange sense of familiarity. Though weak, she had to find out where she was and needed assistance fast before she passed out in this strange place. Unknowingly, the redhead began heading north, straight towards the location of the Fairy Tail Guild.
The guild were having their usual day, not many jobs and everyone was bored, a brawl had broken out thanks to Natsu's and Gray's bickering. However, suddenly the fighting stopped when they heard a small knock at the door of their Guildhall.
Hannah had stumbled through town, asking who she could with the little energy she had, where she was. All she had found out was that this was the town of Magnolia, and that the residents of this town were extremely friendly, offering to help her. The new comer was obviously extremely pale and the kind folks she'd spoken to had offered their services to aid her. Nonetheless, Hannah wasn't the most trusting of people, nor did she want to intrude on their lives when she was not meant to be there in the first place. On that note she politely refused and continued on, hoping to find a doctors clinic or a bench to rest on.
After a few minutes of slugging up the main street, ignoring the strange glances from by-passers, she came to a halt when a large building was in her sights. Still dizzy and having double vision she leant against a large brick wall, or rather a post to large open gates. She lifted her head with a great amount of strain; feeling like someone was pushing her head down. Her light brown/hazel eyes dimly glances up to the large 'Fairy Tail' Guildhall sign, and the crest that was imprinted on the building. Her heavy eyes widened, her pale skin sweating from the exhaustion and utter shock. "N-No way… It can't be…" she gasped 'Magnolia… I knew it sounded familiar but… How is this possible…? Fairy Tail is an anime! I'm…' she thought to herself, weakly lowering her hand from her head to look at it 'I'm real… I'm not a drawn character from an anime… nor are the people in this town or the environment…' she tried to logic this all out in her head but darkness was creeping up on her.
Finally she decided it was best to simply find out.
She walked up to the grand doors, practically leaning on it for support by this point, then raising her trembling hand she knocked as hard as she could, but with her strength it wasn't very loud.
Everyone inside the guild looked at the door in curiosity and confusion. The only person moving to answer the small knock was Mirajane, while everyone else whispered among themselves. "Who knocks?" Elfman asks, everyone simply shrugged; most people just barge in, no one knocks.
Mira opened the door and glanced out, spotting the pale redhead leaning against the other door for support "Hello?" she asked in her sweet voice, Hannah looked at the beautiful woman and her eyes widened slightly, though her lids were heavy. "I-It's you-…" she trailed off as her eyes rolled back and her body slumped down limply. Mira gasped and reached out, catching the stranger before she hit the ground.
"I need some help over here!" she called out.
The first to the scene were Elfman, Natsu and Gray, with Lucy, Happy, Carla and Wendy behind them.
"What happened?"
"Who is she?"
"What's wrong with her?"
Questions erupted, but before anyone could try and answer, Elfman lifted the unconscious stranger bridal-style and carried her inside. Mira closed the door behind everyone before joining the crowd.
Elfman carried her inside and laid her on one of the tables, he then backed away to let Wendy check her out.
After a few silent minutes of medical diagnosis Wendy pulling back with an expression of dreaded confusion. Everyone looked at the healing mage with worry "What is it Wendy? Is she okay?" Lucy asked. Wendy shook her head slightly out of disbelief "T-This girl… she… she doesn't have any magic, not even a little bit…" she spoke looking at the unconscious mystery guest.
"How is that possible? Everyone has with magic within them, even new born babies" Erza spoke up unsure what to make of this, everyone from Earthland are born with and from magic energy, like particles. It is only when a person gathers some of Earthland's natural magic essence and combines that with their own to create spells do they become powerful mages.
"So what happened to her, Wendy? Did she lose consciousness because her magic's been torn away?" Gray logically injected himself in to the conversation. Though everyone was gathered around somewhat, the closest were team Natsu. Lucy sat next to their new guest and held her wrist to check her pulse, Natsu knelt on the other side of the picnic table's bench, leaning over a bit to have a better look at the girls face and to see if he recognised her scent at all.
Lucy glanced at Natsu with a grimaced frown, Gray watched Natsu with the same expression "Natsu, I don't think this girl would appreciate waking up to a pink-haired idiot sniffing her up close" he said, making Natsu glare at Gray. The Dragon slayer was temped to bite back at the ice mages comment but he wasn't a complete idiot, he knew this wasn't the time to fight. Wendy finally spoke up "I'm not completely sure… I'm sorry…" she spoke quietly feeling ashamed that her nursing skills weren't up to Porlyusica's level just yet "If it is magic depletion then… She should be dead" she regretted to say with a slight squeak in her voice, holding back tears of self-pity and worry for the patient she can't heal with her magic. This caused worried glances towards the stranger. "Though she is very weak, she still has a reasonably strong pulse and is breathing evenly, so for now I'd rule out magic deterioration. It could be possible but from what it looks like, she is just majorly dehydrated and exhausted…" Lucy informed, knowing a little about first aid and basic symptoms from grandpa Crux.
At that moment Master Makarov came out of his office to see what the fuss was about "What is going on down there?" he asked, from the balcony. Before coming down he could see everyone in the guildhall crowding around a redheaded figure lying unconscious on a table, team Natsu closest to her. As he walked down the stairs and towards the table, Mira started to explain from the beginning. The crowd moved for the master to get to the table, Lucy stood and Master took her place, standing on the bench seat and looking at the strangers face.
"This young woman knocked on our door, she suddenly collapsed and doesn't seem to possess any magic…" Mira informed "Also… before she collapsed she looked frightened and confused, she said 'It's you' as if she knew me… But I've never seen this girl in my life" she spoke sadly, she was sure that she didn't know this girl but felt bad if she'd just forgotten.
Master nodded before looking at Natsu whose eye's still hadn't left the redhead, he didn't know what it was but he felt curious about her. Something about her scent both intrigued him and confused him. "Natsu" Master spoke, snapping Natsu out of his thoughts and causing him to look at Makarov "What is it my boy? Do you know this girl?" he asked, curious as to why Natsu was so close to her in proximity and the confused expression on his face. However, Natsu shook his head and looked back at the girl, as if she were a magnet to his eyes, he couldn't look away. "I don't know her, never seen her before… But…" He sighed and scratched the back of his neck. His unfinished sentence made everyone look at him in anticipation.
"But?" Gray spoke after a moment, trying to have the flame-head finish his thought, Natsu pouted a little, his brows furrowed "But I just don't get it… She smells new, I mean…" Natsu wasn't great at using words but he would have to try as Makarov encouraged him "New?" the old man said.
Natsu nodded before looking at the master "Like, when we went to Edolis, everything smelt new, there were no familiar scents like there are here" he concluded. Erza put a hand on her hip and the other up to her face to tap her chin in thought "So… She's from Edolis?" she asked, but Natsu shook his head again, returning his gaze to the unusual stranger.
"No, she doesn't smell of Edolis either… I don't know where she came from" he spoke softly just as confused as everyone else, thought, he had to admit, her scent was rather heavenly and addictive.
"Alright, Natsu, take her to the infirmary, we can interrogate the poor girl when she wakes up" He instructed "Wendy, go with him and try to give her water if she is indeed dehydrated. Lucy you go with them, to keep an eye on Natsu" Master Makarov ordered and trailed off at the end. He knew Natsu wouldn't so anything pervy, hell… the boy doesn't appear to have mentally gone through puberty at all, but he could clearly see that Natsu was the most intrigued out of them all, therefore, might come across as too up-front when the girl awakens. The master's last words caused subtle laughter from the dispersing crowd, knowing how Natsu could be. Lucy smiled and nodded; glad to take that responsibility and to be around when the newcomer wakes up.
Master Makarov, Lucy, Natsu and Wendy waited by the strangers' bed, talking about possible theories, and the unusual appearance of this young woman. They'd also sent out word to the city and towns nearby for information on her but came up blank.
"She must have come a long way if the reports say that no one in under 100 miles knows this girl…" Lucy spoke with clear sadness in her voice; having known the fear and loneliness of being in unknown grounds all alone.
During that thought Hannah suddenly started to stir. Wendy had been slowly feeding her water every few minutes in an attempt to rehydrate her, and it seemed to have worked. The infirmary currently only housed the newcomer and the 4 wizards watching over her; Makarov was stood at the foot of the bed, hands behind his back as he had only just returned after receiving the reports of the search, he had also grown a bit in height, to enable him to over-see the current situation. Lucy was sat in a chair to the right of the stranger's bed, watching over her and keeping an eye on Natsu. Wendy was stood next to Lucy, constantly keeping an eye on her non-magical patient, as for Natsu; he was sat on the left side of the beds edge. Lucy had to constantly tell him to back off a bit, as he kept creeping closer, the aroma of this stranger continued to capture Natsu's heightened sense of smell and pull him in, like a bee to a flower.
Everyone's eyes were on the red headed guest as she slowly blinked her eyes open. "W-Where am I?" she murmured with a hoarse voice, not remembering what happened in her current half-drowsy state. Nonetheless, she blinked a few times to adjust her vision to the brightness of the room.
"You're in the Fairy Tail Guild infirmary, my child" Master Makarov spoke softly.
