AN: the Second chapter, here we go. :)

"Hyperia?"

I tried to control my emotions, but the tears just wouldn't stop. They knew me. They knew who I was. I tried to take a step forward, but the message wouldn't go through to my legs. Crying was a first for me; I had never cried that much unless it was necessary. Pain was immune to me, physical pain. This, however, was emotional pain; emotional pain got me every time.

I could just see through the salty tears that were crowding my eyes, that the four teenagers were looking back and forth at us. The girl with the dark skin moved them all back; somehow she knew who I was and what connection I had between Frank and Stella. It was like she's a…mind reader.

I took several deeps breaths in order to move my legs; they felt like jelly. I swear I'm going to fall any second now. Frank and Stella looked like they were about to do the same thing. I could only see from their waist and up but I could tell that their legs were shaking a lot and very violently.

After several attempts, I finally managed to walk forwards towards the roundtable, the opposite side of Frank and Stella. Stella took some deep breaths too while Frank just tried to compose himself. Stella walked towards me and her eyes started to well up again when she stopped directly in front of me.

"Are you Hyperia?" Her voice was shaky and it sounded like she was about to burst into tears again.

"Stel, it's me, Hyperia."

"You can't be her! She…" She gulped as a tear rolled down her cheek, "died." Frank walked up to her, tears still streaming down his face despite his previous efforts, and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Stel, I didn't die. Do you think I died if I'm standing here right now?" She choked on a laugh and went back to crying.

"If your really Hyperia, what is my middle name?" Tears started to slow down and her legs started tremoring less. I smiled through my wet face as I already knew the answer; she told me that she only told Frank and me her middle name, well, middle names.

"Stel, I know for sure that you don't have a middle name; you have two middle names. Are you sure you want me to say them?" By now my voice was shakier than ever and I bet that my mascara was all over my face; I swear I saw Stel smiling at that. She nodded while Frank was still shell shocked.

"Stella, Holly, Elizabeth, Knight." Her mouth dropped open, her jaw shaking while her salty tears dripped onto her bottom lip. Frank also looked at me with wide eyes; you could see his eyes welling up all over again.

"Hyperia?!"

"Yeah, that's me." I stumbled backwards as soon as she found her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist; I was so happy to see the real Stella again. She buried her head into my shoulder and started to cry, but this time I think they were tears of joy. We stayed there for quite a long time I suppose due to fact the teenagers were looking bored but very confused at the same time.

"I can't believe it's you! I mean you…he…it…" I placed my hands firmly on her shoulders to calm her down; it was like she was having a panic attack.

"Stel, calm down. I'm alright now, that's the main thing." Frank froze completely; his eyes didn't move, his head didn't move and I think at one point his heart stopped. I looked at him, smiling while my lips trembled trying not to cry, and I hugged him tightly. I missed him so much, him, Stel and Char, I missed them all so much, much more than anyone could ever imagine.

Once Frank moved out of his trance, he hugged me back, even tighter than when I hugged him. He's like an older brother to me; much more of a brother than Alexis ever was.

I pulled back to see my two best friends standing right in front of me, and after 11 years, it was totally worth it to see them again.

One of the teenage boys coughed and one of the girls slapped him on the arm, obviously not wanting the boy to ruin the moment. I chuckled slightly at their reactions; the blonde boy had confusion written all over his face, the dark-skinned girl with black hair had sympathy on her face and she looked as if she was going to cry, the black-haired boy had realisation on his face like he knows who I am and the auburn-haired girl with pale skin looked just as confused as the blonde boy.

Stel wiped her tears away with a pocket tissue then looked at the tissue and laughed. I laughed too when I saw that all of the mascara had transferred from her eyelashes and face onto the tissue; it looked like ash from a volcano. Frank laughed through his tears and I bet he was thinking, why does anyone need that much makeup?

He wiped his tears away with his sleeve and turned to the four teenagers who were now looking bored. Frank took several deep breaths; I bet he was still not believing that I was real.

"Uh…um…team…this is Hyperia. Hyperia this is Dan," he pointed to the blonde boy and he smiled a hello, "this is Aneisha," he indicated to the dark-skinned girl who I classified as 'The Mind Reader', "Tom", I looked at the boy who had dark hair and a scrawny body; I think he was the nerd of the group, "and this is Keri." I saw the girl with the auburn coloured hair and pale skin; she looked sort of familiar. I glanced from Frank to Stella to Keri, wanting answers. I wiped my face again and said-

"Do I know you? You look really familiar!" Both Stella and Keri looked at me with confused expressions. I know that I do know her from somewhere; I just can't put my finger on it.
