"…Stella…" He smiled and she threw herself into his arms sobbing, saying she was so worried about him; he chuckled lightly and hugged her back, then noticed Laxus and had a disapproving look. "Who's the man?" He asked coldly, holding his little sister protectively, Laxus snorted and crossed his arms, Stella sighed and pulled away from her elder brother and smiled warmly.
"Nii-sama, this is Laxus Dreyar… my fiancé." Stella smiled gently, the kind of smile on her brother and Laxus got, he softened a bit and smiled, standing up, then helped her up and introduced himself with great pride and dignity.
"My name is Cadis Etrama Di Raizel, Ell's elder brother, nice to meet you, Laxus Dreyar." Rai, Cadis Etrama Di Raizel was called Rai for short since his name was so long, and Laxus softened too, the two men chuckled at each other then walked out, when the doors opened Stella was tackled to the ground by her bodyguards whom were crying their eyes out in worry.
"Milady we were so worried! You hadn't come out in so long! The sun's already rising!" They all yelled simultaneously, Stella giggled and untangled their arms from her waist, Rai chuckling and they all bowed to him, welcoming him back, the 6 of them then made their way back to the mansion.
"M-master Raizel….. You're back!" A maid squealed as she dropped the laundry in shock and everyone ran, welcoming him back after so long, they threw a party, it was very lively since Rai returned from his deep slumber far underground, Stella then felt sad, saying she had to leave the next day.
"Well Nii-sama, I need to be going now, if I'm gone from the guild for too long then people will get worried, I'll see you around I guess." Stella said as she was in front of the palace gates, Rai took her hand and told he if she left then he's go with her, after all she did promise not to leave him, she smiled sadly and headed to Fairy Tail. "Well this is it, this is my guild Nii-sama, please be respectful and not destroy it like everyone else does, well I'd better let them know I'm here." Stella said sighed then smirked, she lifted her foot and kicked open the doors, they slammed open and everyone turned to look at her, she shouted she was back and they all cheered. "Mira~! Where's master?" She asked the older takeover mage, Mira smiled and placed a chocolate milkshake in front of her, Stella gladly took it and drank it in one go, Mira told her sweetly that he was in his office, Stella thanked her and went upstairs, Rai and Laxus following her. "Master? May I enter?" She asked and he opened the door welcoming her back, she smiled and said she was back, he ushered the three into his office, put up a soundproof barrier, and sat down smiling at her childishly.
"So my child, what brings you here? And who might you be?" Master Makarov asked smiling at Rai, Stella giggled and told him that Rai was her elder brother, Makarov looked surprised and they were chatting, Rai joined Fairy Tail, his mark being on his chest where Gray's mark is. "Well then, you're officially a member of Fairy Tail, welcome Rai!" Makarov gleamed happily, Stella giggled and they walked out, Makarov then cleared his throat, stood on the railing and yelled. "Listen up Brats!" Just then everyone shut up and listened intensively, he smirked and pointed to Rai. "Welcome the newest member of Fairy Tail! Cadis Etrama Di Raizel! And guess what?! He's our dear Stella's elder brother!" Makarov announced and everyone cheered louder, they threw a huge welcome party with lots of booze, most of it going into Cana and Stella's mouths, Stella and Cana having a drinking match.
"Ell, just what have you become? What happened to the girl I used to know? The shy and loving little sister, my little sister." Rai said placing a hand on her cheek; she was still sober even though she drank so much, she frowned and set her barrel down, she sighed and ran her hand through her hair sadly.
"Nii-sama, I'm no longer that weak girl, 10 years ago father, mother, and nee-sama all died because I was too weak, I was adopted by a dragon that taught me many things and trained me so I was never weak again. Nii-sama, please understand, I still love you but… I'm not in need of being protected anymore, as a family of Dragon Slayers you should understand that Celestia, the dragon under our care, is the one whom taught me, the one that I give credit for my power. Nii-sama please… just try and-" Stella got cut short when something hit the back of her head, she growled and looked behind her, Natsu and Gray were battling it out and she stood up, a dark and demonic aura surrounding her body and she glared at the two. "Natsu, Gray, is that fighting I hear?" Stella growled, her arms folded across her chest, the two boys gulped and visibly shrunk when they saw her glare that put Erza's to shame, Rai chuckled, she never really changed, she always got angry when fighting happened for something pissed her off, otherwise she was a sweet girl. "Now can it, I'm tired and I'm not in the mood, so just put up and shut up, Flame Brain, Ice Princess." She hissed, venom dripping in her voice, they nodded and remained silent, everyone looked at her in awe and she sighed, walking towards the exit. "I'm going home, Laxus show Rai to his room later." Stella then left without another words, peeling away like burnt paper and she was gone, the next instant she reformed back in her and Laxus' room, Stella changed into a tank top and sleeping shorts, climbed into bed and fell asleep soon after.
Stella grumbled as light blinded her vision, it was that dream again, the only time she could feel secure was in her dream, she talked to Celestia in her dreams, always the same thing but never boring, Stella awoke to bright sunshine and strong arms around her. She turned over and nuzzled into her lover's chest, causing him to wake up and look down at her, he chuckled and sat up, bringing her with him, she squealed at the sudden action and he turned around and pinned her to the bed. Stella opened her eyes, staring up at blue eyes filled with lust, she blushed at their position and he leaned down and captured her lips in a sweet and passionate kiss, she brought her arms up and around his neck and he encircled one of his arms around her waist, the other behind her head, deepening the kiss. Laxus and Stella had their heated make-out session interrupted when someone knocked on the door, Laxus grumbled in protest and Ruby called out from the other side of the door, saying that breakfast was ready, Stella smiled and got up, not even bothering to change as she drug Laxus behind her, he still in his sweats and no shirts. Rai greeted them, wearing pajama bottoms and no shirt, a regular sight in her house since all the men never wore shirts to bed, and the women wore a button-up or t-shirt of some kind and sleeping shorts. Stella literally a bucket-sized bowl of bacon, some waffles, eggs, and sausage, with a glass of milk, Rai arched an eyebrow and she giggled, and then dove into her bacon, Laxus took and piece and she growled at him but did nothing to stop him since he was her fiancé already. The peaceful mornings continued for the 3 months that they had to train, Laxus went off with his bodyguards, Stella going with hers and dragging Rai along, but both teams went to the same area and trained together.
"Come on already! You can do better than that Nixon! Bixlow! If you don't concentrate on your magic then your attacks will never work on the enemy! Your Seith magic needs to be stronger!" Stella yelled angrily, her trainer mode on, she was pacing back and forth on the top of a wall, the roof of the ruins no longer there, and Laxus was watching her like a hawk so she didn't hurt herself. "Ked! Freed! Improve those spells! Dark Ecriture is a hard magic so keep at it or so help me I will hunt you down!" She screeched once she saw the two slacking off, doing everything half-assed, she glanced at Novena and Evergreen battling it out full force and she smiled, they broke for lunch, Rai just watching them train. "Nii-sama you should train too, I'd be happy to help you improve your wolf magic, after all it is the magic that flows in our blood since long ago. Come now, training time nii-sama!" Stella announced to Rai, he sighed and they both finished their lunch then got up, she let out her breath and they sat on the ground facing each other in a meditating position. "Now calm your body, relax and take in the energy from nature, keep the energy balanced within you and feel your wolf magic take over you, what do you feel? What can you smell? How are you going to defeat the enemy that is in front of you?" She said subconsciously, already used to training like this with him, he nodded lightly and started speaking unconsciously, Stella had a small smile on her face and they stayed like that, pushing their magic out of them and into a circle around them, as far as they could.
"I'm ready… Wolf Magic: Activate!" Rai said calmly, suddenly he erupted in a pillar of light that engulfed him, Stella doing the same, once the pillars were gone they were standing there with fur on their bodies, wolf feature present such as claws, teeth, and ears also. "Come at me, little sister!" Rai challenged, Stella smirked and charged at him making an animal snarl, they fought and fought endlessly, landing blows, hits, and kicks on each other, meanwhile Laxus and his bodyguards were bewildered out of their minds.
"Heh, not bad big bro, let's end here for today, I'm sleepy now, and thanks to you I need to treat my wounds again." Stella sighed as they reverted back to normal, he nodded and they both swayed on their feet, Rai falling onto his butt and Stella slumping to her knees, Laxus came over smiling and draped his coat over her shoulders and picked up, letting her fall asleep in his arms.
