Chapter Two: Meeting the Guild

"Okay, Levy, I'll go with you." I reply warily. A big smile appears on her face and her eyes light up brightly

"Oh you're gonna love it, Amara! We're all like one big family over at Fairy tail." The bluenette giggles. "Let me go grab Gajeel and Lily, I'm sure they'll wanna meet you!" I tense up a bit at the mention of their names. Levy had said that those two were the ones pestering me during my attack…will they think I'm weird? I bet they won't even want to look at a freak like me, let alone talk and get to know me. All of the sudden I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Levy jogging over with two men-or-well, one man and a cat, I guess. "Okay, so this one is Gajeel. He's one of my friends from the Guild." She explains, tugging the tall man forward. It's then that I realize just how tall this guy is…he's quite literally toppling over me! I look up and give a shy smile, avoiding the uncomfortable eye contact.

"Nice to meet ya. Like shrimp said, my name's Gajeel Redfox. I'm an iron dragon slayer and a pretty strong one at that." He smirks down at me, obviously taking pride in his apparent strength.

"It's, um, it's nice to meet you too, Gajeel. My name's Amara Full-" I suddenly hesitate. Do I really need people knowing my real last name? They would surely ask Gray about me if they did. The only reason I told Levy is because I wasn't thinking and was still kind of out of it…I don't think I can risk it. "Fuller. My name is Amara Fuller" From the corner of my eye I see Levy give me a suspicious look but thankfully she decides not to say anything.

A little black cat then steps forward, hopping up onto Gajeel's shoulder "Hello Amara, It's nice to meet you. My name is Pantherlily. I'm an exceed from Edolas and Gajeel's partner." Lily gives a small, but welcoming, smile and nods. I smile back and return the greeting. I'm already so much more comfortable with this cat than I am with Gajeel. I mean, he's nice and all but very intimidating. He seems alright though so I'll give him a chance.

"Great! Well, now that we all know each other how about we start heading back to the guild?" Levy suggests. We all agree and as we walk back I see Gajeel eyeing me suspiciously. My guess is that he's trying to figure out what was going on with me earlier. I don't think Levy told either of them. They also have the decency not to pry; probably knowing that'd it'd just make me more uncomfortable and distant. This, I'm grateful for.

Time Skip because it's 3 am here and I don't feel like writing the walk back

Soon enough the others and I arrive at a large, homely looking building. This is it- Fairy tail. I honestly imagined the place to look a little more roughed up from what I've heard about it but it's actually pretty nice. Just then a huge man and a petite girl with white hair rush out the doors, knocking me over in the process.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry guys! Are you alright?" The petite one cries with an apologetic look in her bright blue eyes. She extends her arm, offering to help me up.

"Yeah, I'm alright. It's no big deal" I take her hand and stand up, brushing the dirt off of my short black dress. I yet again avoid making a lot of eye contact but still give the sweet girl a smile, showing her that I'm not upset with her. The white haired girl smile back happily and introduces herself

"I'm Lisanna Strauss; I'm a takeover mage with animal soul. This is my big brother" Lisanna pulls the man closer to her, prompting him to introduce himself

"My name's Elfman Strauss. Just like Lis, I'm a takeover mage too; I have beast soul cause I'm a real man!" He raises his voice and smiles broadly. Taken aback by his…interesting character, I sweat drop before continuing with the formalities. In a quiet voice I begin for the third time today, introducing myself.

"It's very nice to meet you both. I'm Amara Fuller, an ice mage" I speak in a quiet voice, loud enough only for the wizards around me to hear "I was out doing some stuff in the forest when Levy, Gajeel, and Pantherlily found me, talked with me, and eventually convinced me to come and see the guild." I explain, playing with my ever-so-slightly chipped fingernails. The siblings nod, seeming to accept my words.

"Well it's gonna be great having you here, Amara! We have to get going on a job now but when we're back I can teach you how to become a real man!" Elfman proclaims while waving goodbye along with his sister. I shoot a look towards the wizards behind me, a bit concerned with Elfman's strange behavior yet they only shrug it off, calling it normal for him. Now that no one is here to keep us any longer, the four of us enter the doors to the guild hall. W hat I see next shocks both me and Levy. I'm kind of wishing I had declined her invitation now

Wow, okay, so that was an extremely sucky chapter but hopefully now that the awkward intro to the story part is over hopefully it'll get better and more interesting XD As of right now, I wouldn't even be a fan of the book lol. I know I said I'd make the chapters longer but I have been really bus lately and haven't gotten to write much. I have an ice skating competition coming up and I have been working my ass off for that. Also, Like I said last chapter, my skills are a bit rusty since I've just started writing again and so It'd be great to have someone I could pm for advice and also have them read through my chapter and let me know what I could fix before I actually post it. Like a beta maybe? Message me f you're interested. Anyway, thanks so much for reading my story I really hope you guys are enjoying it so far! Have a great day, lovelies 3 –Anna xx
