Bell the white core mage (Being rewritten)

I found you

Bell POV

"Oof" I felt the air blow out of my lungs as someone ran into me. Their arms wrapped around me and I felt them bury their face in my chest. But I also felt tears soaking my shirt.

"I found you. I'm so glad I found you" she said over and over again. I looked down and saw the top of her head. Her hair was brown and she had brown cat ears.

"Anya!?" I yelled in surprise. I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back a little so I could see her better. "It is you," I said picking her up in a hug. She laughed as I lifted her in the air. I was able to since I was a little taller than her now.

I set her back down and put her at arm's length. "I didn't know you worked here. If I did I would've been here sooner" I happily said.

"I didn't even know you were in the city. I mean just you look so different. You grew" she said back.

"Of course, I grew I was seven when we met. But my god look at you. You became a beautiful young woman" I complimented. Grandpa would be proud of her looks.

She blushed and giggled a little. "Hey where's my hug," Regis said as he stood next to me. I let go of Anya as she leaned down and pet him. "Still have your talking magical dog I see" she joked.

"The best magical dog. They're none other like me" he bragged.

"Oi brat!" Mia yelled from across the bar. I turned and looked at her as she smiled. "Glad to see you're ok. Now sit down and order something" she said.

"Alright alright. Glad to see you too Mia" I said putting my hands up. I walked over and took my seat as Regis was still being petted by Anya.

"You need to eat more kid. You're too skinny" Mia said.

"I'm not a dwarf Mia. I'm not supposed to be ripped with muscles at 15" I responded. I then pointed at Aisha. "Imagine it later" I already knew what was going through her head. "No fun," she said.

"Sir Bell should you have broken out of the hospital. We could've waited another day" Mikoto asked. I chuckled at her nervousness.

"Don't worry Airmid said I was fine"

"She also said she'd do a check-up on you in the morning and then clear you," Regis said walking up to me.

"I'll worry about that later. Not the first time I've been in trouble surely won't be the last" I waved off.

Anya then stood next to me and gave me a plate of chicken with some orange juice. "I remember it being your favorite. I hope it still is" she said.

"It is but I'm old enough for heavier stuff," I said as I took a bite out of the tender. "You're right. It's been what? Six? Seven years?" She asked.

"It's been eight. Just turned 15 a few weeks ago" I said. "Man time really flies. However, I don't like these scars on your face. You're too young to have them" she said tracing the one on my eye. I saw Laurier's ears droop from the corner of my eye.

"Nah I look badass with them. Besides, the old man would be proud of how I got them"

"Right I remember him. He was a kind man I'm sorry for your loss" Anya said placing a hand on my shoulder.

"It's alright. He went out on his terms and I think that's the only thing he wanted" I replied.

"Oi lazy cat you're bringing down the mood!" Mia said.

"Sorry mama," Anya said.

Anya then went to go do her job and I promised we would catch up later. "So Bell care to explain," Miach asked as he leaned forward. He was on my left and Nazha was next to him. Next to her was Laurier and next to Laurier was Mikoto. On my left was Welf who sat next to Haruhime. Who sat next to Aisha who sat next to Lena. At the other end of the table was Lili.
