I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE. SORRY.

Anyways, please don't forget to comment and favorite if you like the story so far!

**Third P.O.V.**

"Am... I Insane?" Vail asked Natsu with tears in her eyes. He didn't know what to say, exactly. He just stared at her with a worrisome expression. It seemed as if he didn't know how to react with such an intense and serious question. He answered her with promise and honest, though.

"I have no way of answering that." He took a breath, "But even if you are, Fairy Tail is always willing to help you out."

Vail stared at him, not sure what to think about his choice of words, "Re-- Really?" She asked softly with sadness in her voice.

"Of course! Actually, why don't you just join Fairy Tail, and be a part of the family? I know you just got here and all, but why don't you consider it? I'll try not to bug you too much about it." He said to her, smiling away.

Vail became very stunned whenever that question fell upon her. She had no idea what to think, or what to even do. She already had said that she wasn't staying long, that she needed to be on her way. It appears she's already forgotten about that part, though. Natsu took hold of Vail's hand, and they both walked back to the guild. Once they arrived, cold stares fell upon Vail. After that little incident, no one is warming up to her anytime soon. She stood behind Natsu, wondering when the stares would go away. She knew this was her burden, though. She knew she needed to gain their trust, and their hearts.

Natsu began to speak up for Vail, but she stood in front of him, facing the Fairy Tail members. She gazed upon each and every individual, suddenly, her voice came to very saddened and disappointed, "I'm sorry..." She took a deep breath. "I'm very sorry, for how I came off..."

Everyone sat in silence, even Mira. She was the most surprised out of everyone else. Mira suddenly started walking towards Vail, Vail, however, didn't know how to react, so she once again, hid behind Natsu. As soon as Mira was facing her, she took out her hand.

"You don't need to be scared," she continued, "It was a misunderstanding, you don't need to be afraid." Suddenly, Mira asked Vail to take her hand, and Mira hugged her very compassionately, like a loving mother. Vail began to cry as hard as she ever did. Almost everyone smiled at the sight of such a moving moment, except a few people. Those people being Gray and Erza. They both were still very suspicious of what was really going on. As much as they wanted to say something, they didn't want to make a scene, so they kept quiet until they felt it was necessary. Natsu walked back to the table where Erza, Gray, Happy, and Lucy were sitting.

Whenever Mira let go of Vail, she asked her if she would consider joining Fairy Tail. Vail still had no response to that question, she just stood like a deer in the headlights. However, something was bothering her. She didn't quite understand what is was though.

**Vail P.O.V.**

"Would you consider joining Fairy Tail?" Mira asked me with consent. I was not exactly sure how to respond. I wanted to speak up, but I was being stopped. I'm not sure what was stopping me though. Was it fear? Maybe that could be it. Natsu asked me the same question earlier, but I was still being stopped from answering that question. I'm beginning to worry about what's really going on with me. Am I having a sudden realization? Am I just overreacting? Am I just.... Insane?

Suddenly, Mira tapped on my shoulder, trying to get my attention, "I could always ask the Master if it would be okay for you to join!"

She seemed so bubbly and excited. Honestly, it was cute I have to say. I feel as though the Master would not allow that at this very moment. I still feel like I'm forgetting something, however. I feel like I'm in trouble with my own self. Do I even know who I am?

"Hey, are you okay?" Mira inquired towards me, placing a hand on my right shoulder. "I shouldn't have asked so soon, I'm sorry."

I began to shake on the inside, and I still have no idea why, "Tha-- That's okay. You shouldn't have to be sorry." She could feel the pain in my voice, but she didn't want to resort to another physical presence. She nodded, and pointed to Natsu's table, insisting I reintroduce myself to the others sitting there. There was this one guy, however. I don't exactly remember his name, but he was giving me an icy stare, one that could possibly kill. It made me very uncomfortable, and I didn't want to sit over there. I looked back at Mira, begging her to go with me so I wouldn't be alone in the matter. She didn't seem to mind, though. Wow, she's not only beautiful, but she's one of the nicest people that I've ever met. I still feel like there's something off though.

Mira walked me over to Natsu's table, and stood behind me, insisting I reintroduce myself. I stood there for a few minutes, in the cold silence, then she put one of her hands on my shoulder, and pushed me ever so gently.

"Uhm..." I gulped, being afraid of what the reaction would be.

Suddenly, Natsu smiled at me, "You don't have to be afraid of us!" He said warmly. I felt a tug at my heart string. I felt relief as well.

Then, the blonde girl spoke up and smiled, "Yeah! We don't bite or nothing!"

How could they be so nice to me, when all I've done is insult them and call them weak? It doesn't make any sense. I'm so confused with everything that's been happening today, I don't know what to do anymore.

"How can you all be so nice..." I mumbled.

They all cocked their heads, and gazed upon me with sad eyes. They didn't know what to say, exactly. I didn't know what to say, either, honestly.

Finally, I spoke up once again, "You guys... I've insulted this guild, and I've insulted all of you. How can you forgive me? How can you even look at me with the way I am?!" I began to tear up, everything began to hit me all at once. My life felt incomplete, it felt dishonest. I feel like I should stay here for a while, just until I can get back on my feet, and find out who I really am.

"A lot of people have insulted us, so what? We're not gonna let it get to us." Natsu spoke up. I felt as though, he were right. No, he is right. It was wrong of me to insult them, but I guess that just makes them stronger.

"Why don't you sit with us? We would love to get to know you better!" Lucy insisted with much excitement.

Mira insisted I do, too. So, I gathered up all of my courage, and agreed upon the invite. Natsu scooted over so I could sit with them. I sat down, and that's when I felt many daggers being sent my way. My heart sank, and I realized that someone at this table wants me dead, even when they know nothing about me.
