Heyyy guys! I was super bored during school so I decided to finally write the first chapter to give you a bit more feel to the story. I hope you enjoy!
I own only my OC and the plot.

Normal P.O.V.
It has been 2 years since the gruesome murder of the Chain sisters' parents. All of them had gone their separate ways in order to escape the place with haunting memories and join a guild. Ruby went to Sabertooth, Sapphire went to Mermaid Heel, and Diamond went to Lamia Scale. Emerald had gone to Magnolia, but did not wish to join a guild just yet, for it would have reminded her of her parents, who were in the Blue Pegasus guild. She found a nice apartment with a good rent of only 50,000 jewels a month. All was going well for her; she had a job at a supermarket, and it had a good pay so she could pay her rent, but one day, things started to change.
Emerald P.O.V.
"Ahh…" I sighed, kicking off my work shoes as I walked into my house. "Today was horrible… Poppy worked me to the bone today, making me carry those boxes back and forth…" As I trailed into my living room, I felt a sharp pain in my head. I winced, and, holding my head in my hands, stumbled to my green leather couch. "And now I have a headache… Just great." I lay there, silently complaining about my day. After a few minutes, I heard a crashing sound coming from the kitchen. I froze, thinking it was my imagination. I heard someone groan in pain, and stood up quickly, extending my hand. There was a brief flash of light, and I was holding a long chain in my hand. "What the hell… just when I thought I would have a peaceful night…" I flicked the light switch to the kitchen, and stood in shock when I saw a young black haired man in just his underwear, standing in the middle of the floor. "Wha-wha…" I stammered, blinking in shock. He tensed up, and slowly turned to me, revealing a well-muscled body, and a strange mark on the right side of his chest. "Shit, this isn't Lucy's house." He muttered, seeming panicked. "And where the hell are my clothes?"
"U-umm…" I managed. "W-why are you in my house? And who are you?!"
"Oh boy, this is embarrassing…" he sighed, walking around and lifting things up. "I was going to my friend's house, and I thought this was it." he said. "Through the window…?" I said faintly. "Well, yeah, how else?" he retrieved a white piece of fabric from under my table, and pulled it over his head. "I'm Gray Fullbuster of Fairy Tail. Who are you? You don't look familiar, and I haven't seen you at the guild. You are a wizard, right?" he said. "Well, yeah, I'm a wizard," I replied angrily, putting my chain back into my magic storage. "I don't think I have the right to tell you my name or anything else about myself after a half-naked man I don't know breaks into my house!" I yelled. Another shard of pain ripped through my head, and I winced slightly. "Hey, are you okay?" Gray asked, taking a concerned step in my direction. "Yes, I'm fine."
"Look, I'm sorry about breaking into your house. I'll find some way to repay you later, okay?" Rolling my eyes, I replied. "You don't need to. Sorry I snapped at you, I've just had a long day. My name is Emerald Chain, and I'm not in a guild, though my sisters are. And if you don't mind…" I looked at him, then outside. "Oh, right. Sorry. Why don't you join Fairy Tail? Since you're not in a guild and all." He said, edging towards the door. "No! I'm fine on my own," I said a little too quickly, causing Gray to give me a questioning look. "Okay… well if you ever change your mind, you'll be welcome." He replied, giving a little half wave, and leaving. "Okay…" I said to the closed door. "Maybe you should consider it, Emerald, I mean, it's been two years since… that…" I said to myself, walking to my bedroom. Changing into my pajamas, a light green shirt and shorts, I sighed. "I'll think about it tomorrow…" I mumbled into my pillow and falling into a dreamless sleep.
The Next Day…
"Crap, I'm late for work again!" I cried, running out into the street. "Poppy said if I was late one more time, she'd make me work overtime!" Suddenly, I tripped over a loose stone in the road, and crashed into someone. I hit my head on the pavement, and my vision went black.
5 Minutes Later…
"-ey, Emerald, are you okay?" a concerned voice came from above. I opened my eyes slowly and saw a blur of black. "Ooh, what happened…" I moaned as my vision adjusted. "Wait… black…? YOU!" I yelled, sitting up quickly. A wave of pain rolled over me, and I clutched my head in my hands. "Ow…"
"Hey, are you okay? You crashed into me on the street and were knocked out." The man from last night, Gray, helped me up. "Augh… I'm going to be late for work…" I groaned, ignoring him and standing up shakily. As I turned to leave, Gray grabbed my arm. "Wait. You're in no condition to leave. Why don't we go to the Fairy Tail guild-we have a member there that can fix your head." He paused, frowning. "Were you hurt last night? I remember you seeming like you were in pain." I touched the bump on top of my head gingerly. "Nah. I had a bit of a headache, but that was because I had a long day of work and-WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS?! I STILL DON'T KNOW YOU! AND WHERE DID YOUR SHIRT GO?!" I yelled dramatically, my face burning. "Ah crap..." Gray looked around. "That tends to happen. You'll get used to it." Giving up his search, he started walking towards a tall, majestic building that was by where I worked. I walked a bit faster to catch up with him, wincing as my head throbbed. "Wait... why did you say that like I'd be seeing a lot of you?" We stopped at the doors of the building that I realized was the Fairy Tail guild, since the mark on the sign outside and the one on Gray 's chest were the same. He glanced over at me and gave a half smile. "Well, if you join the guild you will." I felt my face turn red as he opened the doors to show a bunch of mages laughing and talking. Gray gave a relieved sigh. "Oh, good. I didn't want your first impression of the guild to be-"
"OI, UNDERWEAR MAN!" I turned to see a young pink haired man wearing a scaly looking scarf and an open vest. 'What is it with these people and being half naked on top?!' I thought, blushing. 'Though I guess I shouldn't be one to talk...' I usually wear a short sleeveless dress that has a belt with an emerald, a heart in the chest, and is a bit low on top, if you get my gist. "YEAH? THE HELL YOU WANT, ASH FOR BRAINS?!" Yelled Gray. The two slammed their heads together and started throwing insults at each other, Gray with a cold aura, and the other guy with a fiery one. I watched, amused, until the sharp pain from last night came back. I doubled over in pain, and the edges of my vision turned red. "THE AGE OF BLOOD WILL SOON COME!" A strange voice screamed through my head. Suddenly, pain shot through my entire body, and I screamed in fear and pain. My eyesight slowly being consumed by red, I saw everyone freeze and look at me in horror. I coughed up blood, and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
ITS A CLIFFHANGER EVEN THOUGH ITS ONLY THE FIRST (real) CHAPTER! Tell me what you think of this, since it's my first fanfiction! Arigatō gozaimasu!
