Okaerinasai. Chapter 23

Natsu's pov~
That's completely true... We need to check out on Stella.
"Hibiki! Can u hear me?" I called out his name.
"Yes Natsu... What is the update there?" He replied back.
"Everything is fine... Connect us to the guild.. immediately"
Hibiki immediately made our connection to the guild where Master and others were waiting for the results.
"Master, we have succeeded in our mission. What is the condition of Stella?" Erza asked.
"We are standing right infront of the hospital. Stella is under the medical care and her temperature has dropped a lot from before. But there are still black marks on her body and hot enough to burn our hands.. She is unconscious right now." Levy replied.
"Are you alright Levy?" Gajeel asked with absolute concerness.
"Don't worry Gajeel, I m fine than anyone else" she giggled.
"We should head back to Magnolia. I m worried about Stella even though everything is over" Lucy said.

-time skips-

We got down from the ship right infront of the hospital where Stella was.. We didn't received any updates in the ship and all of us were extremely worried. It felt as if our heart were beating 100km/hr.
We slowly took the stairs to reach the second floor.
Wendy was walking before me... We walked upstairs and stood infront of the closed door.
Wendy slowly opened the door and we saw a cute figure staring at us.

Wendy ran into her while the other girls followed her. The boys too made their way to have a look on her while I stood their.
I couldn't stop thoes waters rolling down my cheeks.
I stared at her bluntly. When suddenly a voice spoke up.
"Are u planning to stand their whole day?"
I looked at Stella who was lightly smirking at me.
I wiped my tears

And reached her side. Slightly kissing her forehead. It was still warm but fine.
"Lucy.... You got a love rival" Juvia giggled..
All the others laughed at me.
While I couldn't speak a word and suddenly.....
"DONT YOU DARE TO DIE ON ME!!" I screamed at Stella bursting into tears.

And I put my head on Lucy's shoulder crying heavily, when I felt a soft touch in my hand.
"H-how can I think of dying and leaving my family behind" Stella spoked softly but enough loud for all of us to hear.
I wrapped her around my arms hugging her tight but then suddenly I felt tear drops on my shoulder.
"But there is a fate I couldn't escape" she whispered to my ears.
I hurriedly stood up "what fate?" I asked sternly.
"After everything I have to return to my real world, I don't know how and when, but when the time comes I have to say goodbye and leave my family behind" Stella said softly.. Her voice has become heavy I could sense it. We all stared at her shockingly.
"But you originally belonged to this world" Wendy said.
"I know, but I have a family there too who brought me up, who were with me in my all good and bad times. I can't leave them behind" she said softly.
"And what about us?" Gray asked.
A drop of tear rolled down her eyes "I will miss you. I will stay a part of Fairy Tail through anime".
There was a dead silence in the room.
When Erza jumped up and broke the silence "well we don't know when you will go... So we can enjoy our time together and give beautiful memories to carry along with you.. moreover we have to take revenge for the embarrassment earlier" she smirked.
We all chuckled at her words making the environment a little light.
"I guess there is no escape" Stella made a fake cry.... In which we all laughed at...
She is so cute and kind, thinking of saying goodbye to her again broke my heart into pieces.
