Alrighty then, here's chapter 2. I was trying my best to make the OC...well, non-Mary Sue. And I was having a very hard time...it seems like in the world of Fairy Tail, you kinda HAVE to be Mary Sue-ish/Gary Stu-ish...Natsu seems Gary-Stu-ish if you think about it carefully. And so are most of the characters. They just hold certain qualities that would deem them as Sues and Stus.

Ooooorrrr maybe it's just me. Just bear with me on the OC, and if you don't like it. Don't read it, simple as that.

"Speaking"

"Thoughts"

I don't own Fairy Tail, it belongs to Hiro Mashima. I only own the OC.

Exhausted.

I was exhausted. I've been wandering around from city to city, letting my feet take me to god knows where. The past few days resulted in sleepless nights because of my lack of money to pay for a place to stay. So I attempted trying to sleep on a tree branch but there would always be that stupid vulcan that just had to walk by. I also lacked any means of defending myself so I took a couple of beatings from these damn woodland monsters.

Currently, I had nothing but the clothes on my back. My long hair was tied near the bottom with a small yellow ribbon. In my ears were a couple small silver hoop earrings. I wore a tattered and worn out khaki colored cloak, with the hood being up most of the time. Underneath, I had on a pair of dark brown short shorts, and a dark green, sleeveless shirt that exposed my midriff. It had light green trimmings around the arm holes and the neck hole. And on my feet, I wore a pair of shin high boots, dark grey in color with a bright green stripe running down the side of each boot. On my hands I wore a pair of tekkou that were held in place with a single golden ring placed on both of my middle fingers. But underneath my clothes, I was covered in bandages.

I didn't have a home to return to. Well, any that I knew of…I have no memory of my past. I don't know my family, or if I even have one, and I certainly don't remember my name either…as far as I can remember, I've been aimlessly wandering this earth for the past few years since the moment I woke up in the middle of no where. I was a nameless soul that wandered from town to town.

I kept my cloak open, only leaving the hood up, and letting the blood stained bandages show where my clothes did not cover my body. I had used the last of my pocket change to be able to tend to my wounds, courtesy of the vulcan population. My body was beaten, starving, and tired. Finding somewhere that gives out free food or a place to stay is going to take a miracle on my part…

I've been wandering around for the longest time, until I managed to stumble upon a town called 'Magnolia'.

"Magnolia…? Never been here before but…it sounds familiar at the same time." A loud rumble erupted from my stomach and the sound traveled to my ears. I grimaced and continued my way around the town, not wanting to waste anymore time in trying to find food.

People filled the streets of Magnolia and it felt like a peaceful setting. The people looked happy, talking to one another, the street merchants talking to customers. Everything about this town felt…welcoming. I continued to walk around the town, with no luck in finding any free food. I did notice a large building I was now approaching though. It must have been one of those things called a 'guild', where mages are free to join. I've come across a few during my travels in the country of Fiore, but I couldn't really join any due to my lack of magic abilities.

However, this guild in particular, stood out. The sign on the main gate and entrance, read 'Fairy Tail'.

"Fairy…Tail?" I let my curiosity get the better of me as I began to wander pass the gates and into the building itself.

It was so…lively. A number of various people were up to different antics. Most of them were having a drink or talking to one another, having a good time. Looking around, I could feel a smile form on my face as I removed the hood on top of my head. If I thought the town was welcoming, something about this guild seemed welcoming. In a weird way of course.

"Hello! Welcome to Fairy Tail! How may-oh my! Are you alright? You're covered in bandages!" My attention was called over to a girl with long white hair, and her bangs put up into a small ponytail right above her forehead.

"Huh?" I blinked, not expecting anyone to really talk to me. "Oh…yeah, I'm alright, just a few scratches, nothing life threatening." I smiled at her and gave a small reassuring wave. "Sorry, didn't mean to just walk in like that. I was just curious."

"Oh don't worry! Are you considering on joining our guild?" She asked with a smile and a small tilt of her head.

"Joining? Nah, I'm sorry, I'm not a…" Suddenly, my vision became blurry before immediately falling into complete darkness.

Gajeel's P.o.V.

It was another normal day at Fairy Tail. Everyone being stupid. Typical.

I still question why I joined in the first place.

I noticed a few of the usual guild members were missing at the moment.

"Natsu…Gray…Erza…and that Heartfilia chick…and the cat. Guess they went on a job. No wonder it's especially calm today." I thought to myself as I sat alone at one of the tables located in the main part of the guild building. A familiar stench reached my nose and guided my eyes over to the main entrance.

It was a girl.

"Yeesh…talk about a wreck…" I mumbled to myself as I watched the girl curiously examine the interior of the guild. I eyed her carefully. Her smell was all too familiar. I can sense something weird about her too. I watched as Mirajane approached her with her usual kind-hearted nature. Nothing but small talk between them that I could care less about.

"Oh don't worry! Are you considering on joining our guild?" I heard Mirajane ask the mysterious girl.

"Joining? Nah, I'm sorry, I'm not a…" A small gasp and a loud thud shortly followed the girl's reply. I looked over to see that the girl had toppled over and was now lying on the floor. Mirajane was trying to shake the girl awake but nothing happened. This caught pretty much everyone's attention by this point.

"Less than 5 minutes you step foot into the guild and you're already making a scene…weird ass girl." I scoffed before deciding to lean back in my chair, minding my own business. Her scent told a story, a very interesting one at that.

She couldn't fool me, maybe the others, but not me.

Yep, I threw Gajeel in there for special purposes.

I drew a picture of the girl in the cloak. It's not quite finished but I'll see if I can put up a link sometime soon and I'll post it later in this chapter. Or maybe the next.

EDIT: Here is the link to the drawing that I did. I didn't put a background to it, but I will in the future. For now, here's a reference to what the OC looks like.

EDIT AGAIN: Okkkaaayyy, nevermind that. I wasn't aware that links DO NOT work on the chapters themselves. So I'll be posting a link on my profile. Dumb system.
