I stood perfectly still making sure to try to keep my breathing even, though my heartbeat probably already gave it away. "Rogue if I am to answer you are going to have to answer a question of mine first." He looked at me with his blank stare for a moment more then finally gave small nod." Rogue why did you and Sting believe me so soon ,and why on earth would make you want to let me stay with you guys?" He blinked rapidly a few times then gave me a small smile. "L-Lucy I don't know how to explain this but from the beginning I felt this need to protect you. I bet that Sting felt it too because that crap he told you about the guild mark keeping him from fighting was a lie. So it makes sense for us to want to protect you if you're supposed to be our ..."
Rogue got really quiet as a look of pure love crossed his face. "Our parents once said that the Queen was like family to all, and Lucy we lost our parents once before now and we are not losing a mother again." I sucked in a breath trying to keep the tears from falling."And I can't think of any person that we would want in our family more than you Luce." That's when I lost it the tears slid down my cheeks and I ran to Rogue and jumped into his open arms and cried away the grief that had filled my heart at Fairy Tail.
I was crying so hard I almost didn't notice the second pair of strong arms and two furry bodies that joined in on the embrace. 'So this is what Celest meant when she talked of the loyalty that came from dragon slayers and their family.' Reluctantly I pulled away from the hugs and wiped at the tears on my face. Sting still had his arms wrapped around me from behind and I didn't mind it felt right.
"Well I guess that answers my question Lucy. So while we are all here how about you join me and Sting's team so we can get to know our new sister better." I felt Stings arms tighten around my waist as Rogue said sister. Questioningly looked up at Sting to see him shooting a glare at Rogue. Frowning I pulled out of his embrace to look him in the eyes. "Sting do you not want me to get to know you and Rogue?" I asked as my voice started to shake and round to of the tears was close to coming. A look of panic crossed his face " No Lucy I don't want you to get hurt our missions are pretty dangerous. Plus we have tons of enemies that would use you to hurt us. If anything happened to you because of something we did then" Me and Frosch tackled him into a hug as we both cried saying things about Sting really having feelings.
After all the crying finally ended I was exhausted. All of us had eventually moved to cry on the bed to be comfortable ,so that night we all slept in my room. I laid in between Rogue and Sting with Frosche and Lector on either side of me. For the first time in a long time I felt like I was truly home.
Mystery P.O.V
Everybody was yelling at me. Natsu was crying and drinking away their sorrows at the bar. It had been like this ever since the curse faded and people started remembering that tramp. I fiddled with the ring on my finger then continues to stare at the man at the bar who was breaking my heart again without even realizing it. This was all her fault I swear if I ever got my hands on Lucy I was going to make her pay.
