My first Fairy Tail Fanfic. Please R&R and I hope you enjoy.

POV: Lucy

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail

The slight chirping from outside flows in through my open window along with a cool breeze that feels amazing through the heat emanating in the small stuffy room I'm in. I breathe in deeply the scent of the magnolia trees that rise out through my window making me feel a bit at ease as I lean back on my bed keeping my eyes closed.

Living in the city is nothing compared to the country side. There's not much hassle and noise that I'm so used to here making the silence enjoyable, though the temperature does make it a bit unbearable, but nothing I can't handle.

"Lucy?" I open my eyes at the sound of my name as I look toward the doorway of my room to find a short girl around my age with startling blue hair that reaches her shoulders with a yellow headband styling her hair and contemplating her outfit. It consists mainly of a yellow spaghetti shirt with a blue vest and some blue shorts with yellow flip flops, "How are you feeling?" she asks as she walks in with a small bouquet of flowers in her hand.

"Better now, actually," I say sounding tired and worn out. No different than from what I feel as I watch her place the flowers next to my bed while she enters the restroom and fills a vase full of water. Once she places the flowers in the vase she sits down next to my bed and tugs on the IV cord that's stuck in my hand.

"That's good to hear," she says as she takes my hand noticing the bright red spot right above where the needle is inserted.

Levy looks up at me questioningly as I pull my hand away scratching my head sheepishly feeling caught and a bit guilty, "The needle really bugs me and it begins to itch at times," I say and she shakes her head with a small smile on her lips.

Looking back down at my hand I lightly stroke it and then run my fingers up my arm to my shoulder feeling the bandage that covers up a deep gash that I got yesterday which I had unceremoniously received after falling down the stairs at the airport upon my arrival to Magnolia from Crocus. I had tripped over a load of unattended suitcases after pushing a small boy out of the way of a passing cart that almost ran over him. When I fell I landed on a decorative vase that was on the bottom of the stairs shattering it. A few of the glass pieces cut into my back and arms leaving two huge gashes behind my left shoulder and just above my hip. I needed at least five stitches for both cuts. Other than that I only have some scratches on my arms and legs along with a few cuts on my cheeks and bruises absolutely everywhere. After I fell they quickly rushed me to the Magnolia Hospital where I am now.

I look up at Levy and watch as her hazel eyes stare at my injured shoulder sadly, "The doctor says that it won't scar," I tell her and she nods as she musters a smile back on her face just as we hear a knock while we both look up at the noise, "Come in,"

"Finally awake I see," a white haired beauty says as she walks in wearing a white nurse's uniform with a clipboard in her hand. She's tall with waist length white hair and sapphire blue eyes that sparkle with kindness. She's around nineteen, really young for a nurse, but she had told me that she had finished college only a year ago. I nod as she walks over to us while checking on the machines and my IV seeming to ignore the angry red marks on my hand, "How are you feeling this afternoon?" she asks as she removes the needle from my hand and I rub it feeling relief flood onto my skin.

"Good, just a bit sore from the bruises," I answer and she smiles while writing onto her clipboard and nodding.

"That's good, you will be discharged tomorrow just so we can check and see that you didn't get hurt much worse than we thought," I nod as I watch her walk toward the door still writing on her clipboard. Before she's out the door she turns back to the two of us and says, "Before I forget, there are a few schoolmates of yours down in the lobby waiting to see you," and without another word she's out the door.

"Schoolmates?" I ask questioningly turning to Levy and she shrugs looks as confused as I am, "But I don't know anyone other than you and Yukino," I say and she rubs her chin thinking.

"Maybe it's the class representatives that we have here," she says more to herself than to me, "well, that makes it a winning occasion," she says while clapping her hands together gleefully it looks almost comical that I giggle.

"How is it a winning occasion," I ask staring at her a bit confused.

She leans close to me as if to tell me a secret but there's no one around so it seems unnecessary, "Because now you may gain some friends before school starts in two weeks," she says and I then nod knowingly. She's right, even though I'm not very good at talking to new people; it would be nice having more than three people that aren't relatives as friends.

"Sounds like fun," I answer and in truth it does.

I got the idea for this story some time after I finished watching Another, It's a mind blowing anime that I recommend you all watch.

Anywho, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as there's more to come.

Until next time my lovely readers.
