"So are you visiting someone here in Magnolia?" Gray asked was he walked on the other side of Phoenix, his hands in his pockets.

"Uh…I don't think so." Phoenix said and Gray looked at her with a raised eyebrow due to her strange answer, but decided not to mention anything since he noticed Erza didn't say anything and if there was anyone good at picking up certain things on people it was her.

Lucy had spent about an hour showing Phoenix around with the rest of the gang and asking various questions that sometimes resulted in strange answers like the one that was given to Gray. It was a little strange at times of course, but it seemed pretty innocent. At least that's what Lucy told herself as they continued their tour. "And over there is the Fairy Tail Guild." Lucy said pointing to a building and suddenly Phoenix's arm glowed as writing appeared on it taking everyone by surprise. On her arm glowing in a mixture of oranges and reds were two things. 'Magic shop. Pen.'

"Oh right. Where's the magic shop?" Phoenix asked looking around before she saw it and walked off as the writing faded from her arm.

"That was letter magic." Erza said looking toward the shop

"That's what Freed and Levy can do right?" lucy asked and Erza nodded

"I've never seen it used like that before. Weird." Gray said crossing his arms over his chest.

"I told you there was something strange about her." Carla said "I knew we shouldn't have showed her around."

"Hey…all because she utilized her magic in a different way doesn't mean she's a bad person." Lucy said

"Yeah." Natsu said with a shrug "If I could use my magic to not make me sick on modes of transportation I would."

"Sorry I couldn't help you Natsu, but I used a lot of my magic energy on the last job." Wendy said looking at him

"It's fine." Natsu said "at least it's over now."

"Well we should probably let the Master know that the mission went well. Lucy and Gray stay here and make sure you bring her to the Guild once she's done." Erza commanded

"Why the Guild?" Gray asked "We're not even completely sure we can trust her yet."

"True, but the master's there and I'm going to tell him about her. I'm sure he'll want to see her for himself. I think she might be a wizard…and it doesn't seem like she's part of a guild." Erza said before she left with the others not allowing Lucy or Gray to question her anymore.

Gray and Lucy just exchanged glances before they just settled on listening to Erza, which was the best option unless you wanted to pay for it later. They stood there waiting for about another ten minutes before Phoenix came back out writing something on her arm with the pen she bought, which they were both sure was used for the letter magic she was using to write on her arm.

"Hey Phoenix…why don't you come with us to our guild?" Lucy asked when she walked over

"Really?" Phoenix asked looking between them

"Yeah. Erza thinks you should meet our master." Gray added and then looked at her arm not seeing anything on it "What were you writing on your arm?"

"Oh…just a small note about you guys." She said making both of them look at her strangely and she looked away rubbing her left arm with the slightest frown on her face. Lucy and Gray looked at each other again before turning their attention back on her. It was clear the way they looked at her made her feel a little uncomfortable but they couldn't help it. This wasn't exactly something they saw people do every day.

"I'm sorry. I must seem really weird to you both right now, but I can't help it." She said "I promise I'm no threat to you, your friends or your guild. I'm just trying to find help is all."

"Help for what?" gray asked and Phoenix looked at the ground her eyes moving around as if searching for her response like it would be written on the ground "I-I don't remember."

This alone left Gray and Lucy more than confused. She came to Magnolia but didn't know why, she needs help but doesn't remember for what. This was just getting stranger and stranger by the minute and they wasted no time bringing Phoenix to the guild. Something was up for sure, but they didn't know what. Phoenix wasn't telling them and that was something to be cautious about. Bringing her to the guild for Master Makarov to see was the best option at the moment. After all he might be able to get her to tell what she's really up to.

At the guild Erza was talking with Makarov, while Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel were talking about their latest mission. Natsu, of course was bragging about how well he did which made Gajeel laugh.

"Don't kid yourself! I'm sure I could've done a way better job than you ever could!" Gajeel retorted

"Yeah right!" Natsu glared

"Tell me moron, which material is better for helping repair a building and extend it. Fire or iron?!" Gajeel said as they glared at each other, foreheads pressed together till Natsu thought about it and then glared even more at Gajeel.

"Guys…please don't fight." Wendy said with a sigh

"Idiot." Gajeel mumbled to himself making Natsu stand up

"That's it!" he said as his fists set fire "I'm fired up now! Get ready to get a major ass kicking!"

"Bring it on!" Gajeel said as he stood up also ready to fight Natsu when he stopped and his eyes landed on Gray, Lucy and a new face that walked into the guild. His red eyes widened looking at the new girl following her with his gaze, lowering his fist slowly as they all came to a stop in front of Erza and Makarov.

Natsu was about ready to let lose when he noticed Gajeel's sudden change in attitude. He looked…surprised.

"Hey Metal head, what's eating you?"Natsu asked and looked in the direction he was looking "that's a girl we met on the train today. She's kinda weird. Erza said Gray and Lucy should bring her here to see if the old man could tell if she was dangerous or not. Anyway…enough about that I wanna beat your head in!" Natsu added as he turned back around to fight Gajeel, but was surprised when he saw he was missing from where he was and then looked around seeing him walking to where Makarov was.

"Now he's acting weird. What did you do to him Natsu?" Happy asked him

"Nothing!" Natsu said defensively

"So you need help…but don't know for what?" Makarov asked as he looked at Phoenix with a raised eyebrow. She nodded and then looked away from him. There goes that look again. She knew the things she was saying didn't make sense, but she didn't know what else to say. She was being honest which was the scary part. It bothered her not being able to get them or just others in general to understand her, but at the same time she knew how it must seem. In that same token it made her feel alone. She understood them, but she could never get them to understand her the way she needed them to. She was just about ready to just thank Makarov for speaking with her and tell them she was going to get on the next train and leave. To where? She didn't know, but did it even really matter? That was until she heard a voice that broke her from her thoughts.

"Phoenix?" she heard and turned around looking up at the tall black haired, red eyed wizard that stood a couple feet away from her.
