Chapter 17 - I Promise

*Spoilers*

-----------

Cynthia's POV

"I can't believe that you're back alive again!" everyone shouted in unison, crushing me into big bear hugs.

"This must be a dream..." Mira gasped as soon as everyone withdrawn from the hurdle of hugs.

"Cynthia-chan!~" Wakaba and Macao cried.

"Cynthia-onee-chan!" Romeo cheered as tears were falling from his eyes.

"Ehhh?!" Jet and Droy exclaimed.

"Cynthia!" Erza exclaimed as tears were falling from her eyes and patted me on the head. I scrunched my face hoping that it wasn't going to be a hard one... but surprisingly it was gentle.

"Hey Erza-san...it's been awhile, hasn't it? Minna-san!" I smiled.

"It certainly has Cynthia..." she weeped.

"I'm so happy...." Levy sniffled as Gajeel came by her side.

"Nice to see you again shorty." Gajeel grinned as I rolled my eyes playfully, followed by a grin.

"Cynthia-chan!" Wendy smiled with Carla in her arms.

"Wendy! Carla! I've missed you guys! I've missed all of you!" I smiled, tears running down my cheek.

"Cynthiaaaaaa!~", "Cynthiaaaaa-chaaaan!~" I heard two familiar exceeds to rush towards me as I stretched my arms out wide for them to jump into.

"Lector! Frosch!" I smiled happily, cuddling them closer to my chest and gave them kisses on their forehead.

"H-How did you come back!?" Lector snuggled.

"Fro wants to know too!"

"It's a long story... but short story... a familiar someone helped me and told me some things that I have yet to discover..." I chuckled.

"Really?" Lucy asked who walked over to me.

"Really. I promise to tell you all of it soon." I winked towards everyone, and noticed to see Sting who was locking his eyes with me.

"So.... you still remember Sting-kun?" Lector asked from my arms and I laughed awkwardly.

"Cynthia-chan?"

"I... don't know him or remember Sting..."

"WHAT?!" everyone screeched.

"Not again!"

"For real?!"

"How can you not remember Sting but us?!"

"I swear... you knocked your head into something!"

"Sting! Say something!" one of them said, but Sting said nothing. Only with a troubled look on his face making me to feel guilty.

"I hope you better be joking." Droy said.

"I hope you are not joking about forgetting Sting." I heard Asuna to snicker, and I heard Sting to grunt at her sudden remark.

"I'm not." I said seriously, placing both Lector and frosch down on the ground. My face relaxed as I stared towards everyone. "But now's not the time for that... I think we need someone or should I say dragons to speak..." I mentioned towards the four Dragons who were sitting in front of us who were staring at me with amusement.

"Heh... you can continue..." I grinned sheepishly to see a metal Dragon who was staring intensely at Gajeel, as he was doing the same thing.

"As always, you've got that vile look in your eyes." Metalicana smirked.
