~Chapter Ten~
After my meeting with my parents I was able to return, by return I mean wake up.
Waking hurts my eyes. The light is blinding, but then I realize the light is coming from me. One half of my body is glowing with light and the other is pulsating with shadows.
I hear voices, but no one has noticed I am awake yet, so I call for two people who have a lot they need to know.
"Rogue. Sting," I manage.
It seems they are the only ones who heard me as they are the only two that came to my side. Which makes me realize two things:
One, everyone is so busy arguing to pay attention, and two, they are the only dragon slayers in the room.
While everyone is arguing, I'm telling them about where I was and the family I never knew existed was living.
I was so happy I felt that I was going to burst and cry.
"You guys are my family. The only ones I have left." I cry.
As I'm crying I feel two sets of arms embrace me.
"Hush now. Everything's alright." I hear Rogue say.
"Shh. Calm down. We aren't going anywhere," says Sting.
After a few minutes of me bawling my eyes out and hugs from my brothers, the others take notice that I'm awake but my brothers are protective and won't let them near.
"Boys," I laugh, "It's okay. I'm better now thanks to you two."
"You're welcome," they say together.
"Lucy," asks Levy. "What happened to you?"
"I'm not a hundred percent certain, but I'll tell you all what I know."
I then spend the next few hours explaining all that I know and answering questions. I tell them about my relation to both Sting and Rogue. They all look somewhat shocked, but it's to be expected. I'm so happy that I have a family again. Speaking of family.
"How are Erza, Natsu, and Lisanna?" I ask.
"Well, due to how they feel about what they did to you, they were afraid to come up and talk to you," says Grey.
"Juvia can get them if you wish."
"Thanks, Juvia. That would be great," I say with a smile.
She leaves to go grab the other three. When they come back up I can feel the guilt coming off them in waves. Natsu and the others all look so crestfallen.
"Guys," I say opening my arms with a smile, "come here."
I am suddenly covered by the weight of three bodies. Hearing sobs and hushed apologies. I hug all three of them and whisper, "I forgive you."
