Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes I have but I didn't double check on this chapter. I'm in a rush.

Erika ~

"Man this is boring." I said to no one in particular. Mirajane was standing next to me, cleaning cups. "I wish I had my magic back." As soon as I said that, I regretted it and covered my mouth. I looked over at Mira who hung her head down for a few seconds but then decided to ignore me.

"Umm…" I started to say; I wanted to apologize but then decided against it.

Natsu kicked the door to our guild open, breaking the door. A blonde girl followed him in, with a suitcase. He started a ruckus and everybody started fighting.

"Gray, your clothes." Cana said.

"Ahh!" The blonde girl screamed. She must be a new comer.

"I should go and greet her." Mira said next to me.

"Yeah. Go ahead, I'll follow you in a bit." I said to her. I'm still upset about my stupid curse. Yeah, I call it a curse now because that is what it is to me. The fight went on for a while and I can hear Mira and the newbie talking.

I paid no attention to them and instead, just kept sighing. I wonder what kind magical user she is.

Cana started to take out her cards and said, "Cut it out already!" More people started to prepare their magic for a fight until master Makarov came. Look at them, using their magic. If only I had been more careful back then, I would have been able to join the fun.

~Time skip after Master Makarov's lecture~

"Damn it!" Romeo punched the master and ran out of the guild in frustration.

"He's very strict." The blonde newcomer was sitting at the bar.

"Even though he says that, Master is also worried about him." I said to her. "Hi, my name is Erika." I smiled.

"Oh! You're that mage who is cursed! I've heard about you." She said. "My name is Lucy."

So, I'm famous for being the 'curse' mage huh? Wow, I'm so popular. "Hehe…" I laughed nervously. "Thanks for reminding me."

"Ah, I didn't mean to…. Never mind. Sorry." She said.

"It's alright, Lucy."

At the request board, Natsu punched a request and walked out of the door with a serious face.

"What's wrong with him?" Lucy asked.

Mirajane walked out to her and explained to her about Natsu's past relating to Romeo's.

"It's the same with Erika as well. She uses dragon slayer magic. Earth to be exact until 2 years ago." Mira said.

I looked down at my feet, feeling depressed. I didn't want to be reminded because of my carelessness. I was careless that time with Floridian to let her slip away from my sight and I lost her. I was careless to let that guy seal my power away, cursing me. I'm not going to let that thing happen again.

"Sorry Erika." Mira said.

I looked up and realized that I had been spacing out so I said, "No it's okay. I was just thinking about something." I smiled at them to show that I was fine.

"Really?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah."

"Maybe I should go with Natsu." Lucy said, completely off the subject.

"Ah you should. He has travel sickness." Mira said and I reached out my hand to touch Lucy's, telling her that I agree with that idea. At that moment, blurred visions of her memories filled my brain. I may be cursed and not be able to use my magic but I can still read one's memory for some reason. It's not as clear as it's supposed to be and I can't really tell sometimes what it means.

Her memories were a blur so all I could see was a mansion and inside were her and a man who seems to be her father.

"I see. Well, I should be off then, bye!" Lucy dashed out of the guild.

"Such a nice girl." I said when Lucy was out of sight. I didn't want to ask her about it in front of everyone. She might want to keep it a secret. I sometimes hate having this ability. It gets really annoying and I don't want to know everyone's past if they don't want me to.

"I agree." Mira walked towards a guild member who was trying to order something.

Well what do you guys think so far? Sorry if this chapter is kind of short but I warned you didn't I? I told you that there will be some short chapters and some long ones.
