Lyra

"Wow, it took you guys forever to get here," a voice I knew too well from obsessing over it said.

Everyone screamed and Lucy jumped at the figure and kicked him. "GRAY GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!"

"Why are you always so rude?!" Gray scoffed, rubbing his cheek.

I laughed. This is what happens all the time. I was surprised to see Lucy was surprised by it. She should know by now that someone is always waiting for her in her house.

Lucy rolled her eyes. "Gray, this is Lyra."

I waved a little. "Hey."

Gray smiled, "Actually I'm only here because I wanted to talk to you. I've never seen magic like that before. Are you from around here?"

Suddenly Erza popped up from literally nowhere, sitting herself on Lucy's couch. "Yeah, Gray does have a point. I've never seen magic like that."

Lucy freaked. "YOU TOO ERZA!!!"

"What?!" Erza challenged. Lucy shrunk back, waving her hands back and forth. She denied ever saying anything.

I laughed, "No, I'm not from around here. Actually-"

"I don't understand why ice-bucket over there is allowed to get off so easily?" Nastu fumbled and Happy nodded in agreement.

Erza glared at Nastu. "Shut it."

"Yes Ma'am!" Nastu saluted.

I shook my head. I should know what to expect by now. But I still couldn't believe the authority Erza had over Nastu and Gray.

I continued explaining, going over basically what I had said when the girls and the master was with me in that one room. When I finished, Erza was the next to speak.

"Although your new to this world, your magic energy is incredibly strong and high." She shrugged, with a small smile. "I bet what you did back at the Guild Hall was nothing."

My eyes widened in surprise. "Me? Magic power? Strong? No. What happened before was an anxiety attack. I get really nervous around big crowds like that. I can't handle many people well."

"Well how do you plan to join Fairy Tail if you can't stand people?" Nastu asked, crossing his arms. He looked annoyed.

My eyes widened even more. He actually thought I could join Fairy Tail? Yeah right!

"I'm not joining Fairy Tail." I frowned at him. "You're right. I can't join because of my social anxiety. All I want to do is find Maya. I don't belong in this world. As much as I want to stay, and this is a dream come true, I can't stay here."

Erza nodded, "She's right. In the morning we can go and send out a job for finding your friend Maya. And you can tag along with us while we go on jobs. It'll help us cover more ground."

"That sounds awesome!" I smiled, my mood lifting. "I can't wait to see Maya again!"

Small smiles all appeared on their faces at that. I grinned, "What? I really like Maya. We've been through everything together. And we just recently got through an exam, oh those things are horrible, and we were on the way to the library, when...."

I trailed off, looking down. Then I spoke up. "The guys who took us here looked like he was part of a dark guild. Is there any recent ones that have come up?"

Erza shook her head. "Not that I know of. I can check with Master in the morning. But right now, we all need our sleep."

I looked outside the window to find that the sun had already set. I nodded, thanking them again for being so nice. Lucy let me sleep on the couch, which I gladly took. I was exhausted.

But that night, I couldn't sleep. I found myself making my way to the bathroom, looking into the mirror. I looked like a monster. My eyes were dark, my makeup running, and hair all messy. I found myself climbing into the tub and taking a quick shower.

Once clean, I let in fresh hot water, added soap to the water to make bubbles, and went under water.

My mind drifted to the guy who had taken us. He was tall, but had a dark scary look to him. He was part of a dark guild, I knew that for sure. But everything had happened so fast, I barely remembered what he looked like.

I remember me and Maya fighting over who was going to protect who. I smiled at the thought as I came up for air.

When I opened my eyes, the room was as dark as it was before. I held out my hands staring at them. Erza had said I had strong magic energy. I frowned. How was it possible to be a wizard if I wasn't even from here?

I stared at my hands for a long time before I decided that I wanted to see if I could create music that came through my hands. I thought of a cool guitar solo from the beginning of A Little Faster by There for Tomorrow. I focused hard and suddenly music was playing from my hands. My eyes widened.

I wanted the volume lower so not to wake Lucy, so I closed my finger tips closer together but not enough to touch. It lowered the volume.

I smiled, thinking of another song. Fallen Angel by Three Days Grace came to mind. And it started playing from my hands. I laughed out loud. I wouldn't need my phone to listen to music now. I didn't need to rely on it. When I got those attacks or just wanted to calm down or listen to music, I didn't need my phone. I just needed my soul.

I got out of the tub, still playing the music. I hummed a little to it and dried myself off. Lucy had let me borrow some pajamas so I changed into those. My other clothes were currently being washed.

I blowed dried my hair and brushed it through. Then I headed to sleep again. I fell onto the couch, tired. I closed my eyes, turning off my music by willing it to stop. I smiled, holding my hands close to me as I fell asleep.

~ ~ ~

I woke up an hour later. Nothing woke me up, I just simply couldn't sleep. I never dreamt and so my sleep was empty, as usual. But I felt rested. I wanted to go exploring. This was the freaking Fairy Tail world. I should know it better then the members of the Maine.

I stood up and found some shorts and a shirt Lucy had in her closet. I changed into them and pulled my short hair back into a tight short pony tail. I pulled on socks and my VANS.

I left quickly, going down the stairs. Once I was outside, I found myself walking around the town and playing music. I looked at all the different stores and how different it was from my small town. No technology was anywhere. It was all done by magic or hand. In a way, it made the place seem peaceful.

I found myself walking towards a forest. I started running. I ran far into it until I was deep enough to blast full out screamo and no one would hear it.

I wanted to practice my magic here. It was quiet, which meant my music could fill the silence.

I focused on a tree ahead of me and aimed my hand at it. I imagined a sharp drum bang and the tree in front of me was sliced in half. My eyes widened in shock as the tree fell over. Right towards me...

I cursed myself.

I could do that for you....

I'm trying to dodge a tree here!!

Yeah, well you could just get hit by the tree.

You know, sometimes I wonder why I even keep you.

Because I'm helpful. Dive to the left and land on your hands.

I did as told and landed on my hands. Then instinct took over and I found myself blaring out quick sound waves out of my hands and so I flipped in the air and landed on my feet. But I stumbled and fell.

Okay, did you see what you just did?!?! That was flipping awesome!!!

For once, we agree on something.

I allowed myself to be controled and wavered by the music. I narrowed my eyes at the trees and started blasting them, each one getting hit differently. Some were exploded, some had explosions thrown at them. Others were sliced and cut, and a couple times I made a dead tree grow again and a live one grow taller.

I stopped after hitting all those trees. The area around me was flattened. But I hadn't broken a sweat. I frowned. Was Erza right about my magic being strong?

I found myself started to float. I screamed, freaking out. "No! Put me down! Music!!"

But it didn't stop. I saw a magic bubble form around me and I froze. I knew what was going to happen.

Suddenly You Make me Sick by Of Mice & Men started playing. When Austin Carlile screamed the magic bubble exploded. I screamed along with Austin, hurting my lungs. When the scream was over, the magic bubble was gone. I felt weak. I closed my eyes.

And I fell.

The shock of hitting the ground raked my body. I cried out in pain, but I knew no one could hear me. I suddenly saw Maya being tied up while a guy with lightning was attacking some people near her.

Maya.....

And now I just sit in silence.....
