Two new characters

Chapter 1

I was really nervous even if I didn't show it. This was the first magic guild I had ever set foot inside. However, at the same time, I was stoked and ready for an experience but what I got when I opened the doors was anything but exciting. Everyone was sitting at tables and drinking. Or rather, they were drinking but apparently, they stopped when I came in the door. I walked up to the dark wooden bar and took an open seat. The bartender walked up to me.

"What are you doing here kid? Cause I'm guessin' Ur not ere for a drink."

"I was wondering if I could join the guild." I said trying to keep my cool but the bartender's breath was just so terrible.

"Join the guild you said. Oi lads this little fella ere wants to join the guild." As he shouted that so everyone in the guild heard it, a huge round of laughs came around.

"Listen kid. ya' can't just walk in and expect ta join a guild." As he paused, he shot his ugly mug right up in my face so I could really smell the foul stench of alcohol oozing off him. " you gotta' be able to fight for ya'self cause no one ere's gonna do it for ya'"

I stood up a little disappointed and started walking to the exit. "Oh well at least I tried." I said to myself low making sure no one heard me. As I was walking for the exit, four men got up from their chair and stood in front of the exit, blocking my path to fresh air.

"We can't just let you leave. You still have some jewels on you don't you," they said standing in front of me. I didn't want to get into a fight so I didn't really know what to do.

"Excuse me is there a problem here," it was a girl's voice coming from just outside the guildhall. I was so relieved that this might not end in a fight, until I saw the girl who was talking. She was about 15-16 same as me she looked a little shorter but it was hard to tell from a distance. Ocean blue eyes as far as I could see. Pink hair barely reaching her shoulders. If I were to describe her in one word, it would be beautiful. But how is she going to help me? I thought to myself.

"No there is no problem so just walk along little girl" said one of the men.

"Maybe I should ask the 'little' boy what he thinks. Is there a problem bro?" She directed her attention to me.

"Uhm maybe." I said hesitantly, "These guys won't let me leave." I was so terrified at this point; I was surprised I hadn't wet myself from fear.

"Well there is only one thing to do about that," she said. How could she be so confident in her words?

"Let the boy go and there won't be a problem."

"You know you're really getting on my nerves little girl," said the biggest of the men blocking me as he walked over to her. He clenched his fist in his hand. He was now standing directly in front of her and he was two heads taller than she was.

"Please don't stand so close I can smell your breath," she said knowing that he was at the tipping point. I could see that he snapped as he raised his arm and flung it down at her. Nevertheless, she merely put her arm up to stop it. The cobblestone beneath her feet cracked but she didn't move at all. Then she hit him hard in the stomach with her free hand sending him flying into the guildhall. I dodged out of the way quickly as he came flying by and watched as he hit two… three other members before stopping. She took a menacing step forward and the last three blocking my way jumped back and ran into the guildhall while screaming that they would never do something like that again. I walked out of the guild and breathed in the fresh air.

"Thank you so much, and sorry about the trouble," I said rubbing the back of my neck in shame.

"Don't worry about it I needed my morning workout anyway. But tell me, what where you doing in there anyways?"

"Well you see, I was looking for a guild to join and I have never been in a guild before so I supposed anywhere was a good place to start, but apparently I was wrong."

"You can say that again. By the way, I'm Sapphire Gemstone, And Ha-ha go ahead laugh at my last name all you want I've heard them all. Nice to meet you."

"Oh sorry I'm Jack Greyhound and I think that's a beautiful name you have. It's nice to meet you too."

I think I was just imagining it but I thought I saw a faint pink on her cheeks.

"Anyway, you said you were looking for a guild how about joining mine? There are tons of great people and it's a lot of fun. There are also always jobs to go on. You'll love it. It's certainty better than this dump. My guild is called… Fairy Tail!"
