Bell and his mother was sitting on a bench. They are surrounded by a flower field. Both of them were taking how they miss each other. She apologized to Bell for not been there for him. Bell told her about how he met Goddess Hestia and raised his Familia. Bell's mother showed great enthusiasm for hearing his story. Then his father and sister also came to break their loneliness. Bell was so happy to see them as well. They also joined to hear his story.
.................
Bell's mother's name was Materia. His father was Runar Cranel. His sister's name was Siesta Cranel.
His mother was an ordinary woman. She had white hair with green eyes. She was an ordinary housewife. His father was a farmer. He had a black hair with crimson red eye. His sister got long black hair with green eyes. His sister was older than him.
Bell's brief story came to an end. They all praised him for his excellent adventure.
Runar "I see Bell you have fought away those monsters and saved their lives. But Bell aren't you forgetting something very important?"
Bell " Hmm......"
Siesta " Bell, do you miss your Familia?"
Bell shocked in realization that he can't be no more with them.
Materia placing her hands on his shoulder " Bell, look at me, just listen to me patiently, okay. "
Bell looked at her.
Materia " We are very glad to see you again, Bell. But none of us want you to be here. We want you to go back to your Familia. "
Bell with low" W-What are you saying? I just got here."
Materia signed.
Runar " Bell, let me ask you something? What is your dream now.?"
Bell " My dream, it was to reach yo......" Bell stopped his words in the middle as he realized something important that he always dreamed to do.
Siesta judging Bell" Bell, did you just betrayed your on feelings."
Bell looking down " My feelings...."
Materia lifting his head by the chin. " It's Okay Bell, we will never blame you for our demise. It wasn't your fault at all. "
Bell tearing up,
Siesta " There you go, back to a baby already."
Materia give him a warm hug. Bell teering up more.
Runar " Bell, It's time to change yourself. That world needs you. Abandoning your Familia, and throwing yourself into death as if you don't even care. Do you think that it was a right choice? "
Materia and Bell left go off each other.
Bell " You are right father. I made a wrong choice. But what can I do now? I can't go back, I am ALREADY DEAD, NOW." with increased voice.
A moment of silence
Siesta " You got it wrong there too Bell."
Bell " What do you mean?"
Siesta paused for a second and said " It's not over yet, you can still go back"
Then suddenly a black slash appeared in air, opening a gate that looked dark like abyss.
Runar " Looks like its time for you to go my son."
Materia " Looks like your master is lending you a hand."
As they watched, many black hands starts emerging from that gate.
Bell turned and looked back at his Familia. He was waiting. His Familia wandering about what Bell is going to decide.
Bell "How long should I wait for you guys to give me a hug. "
Then there was a group hug. Bell then stated walking backwards. When he was closing towards the gate, those black hands began engulfing him.
Bell with a happy smile" I promise you Father, I will cherish my Familia and make sure we survive that world together. And one more thing, .....I LOVE YOU GUYS"
Others together with happy smile in their faces " WE LOVE YOU TOO, BELL".
With that said Bell was pulled into the depths of darkness. He then began to feel like he is falling down so fast. Then he suddenly fell into a hole of brightness.
Bell then opened his eyes with an immediate gasp of air. He was wearing oxygen cylinders in his mouth. His vision was blurry. He was surrounded by many many doctors wearing mask. Bell was in an operation theatre. The light was emitting straight into his face.
Then after that he went back to sleep.
...........................
In Demon land, The Witch Mansion,
Bell once again opened his eyes. He saw the ceiling. Then on observing the surroundings he found out that he is still alive. There was bandages on his chest. Bell slowly got up from his bed. He was extremely tired. When he looked outside through the window, he didn't realize that place. He wondered whose house it is.
Then Jupiter entered into the room.
Jupiter with a small drop of tear formed on the edge of her eye" B-Bell you are awake"
Bell with a small smile" Yeah, I made it ."
Jupiter walked fast towards Bell " Thank goodness, you know something, I was worried"
A moment of silence
Bell with a surprised look " I am sorry, I didn't mean to worry you at all."
Jupiter "You faced that monster on your own to keep us all safe, but that was totally reckless, you idiot...."
Bell showed a little bit of sadness and then with a clam face "What other choice did I have back then? That monster was broken beyond compare. I Absolutely can't let that thing lay its claws on my family. "
Jupiter " How did you know that? Team work is always better than individual work unless you have fought it multiple times."
Bell wasn't agreed to what she said and remained calm.
Bell " I fought that thing twice."
Jupiter wasn't expecting that " W-What the.. , Bell are you out of your dawn mind. You didn't even know how much your family care about you. You know, Goddess Hestia couldn't even sleep well when she heard that you have gone missing from Ryu." She scolded him.
Bell interrupted her " Wait- wait wait, Did Ryu came back to the town? "
Jupiter " Yes Aiz Wallenstein and others brought her back to the town"
Bell with a sudden realization "I see , so the Loki Familia was there,.. thank goodness, then I don't need to worry about them(family) at all."
Jupiter pissed " Bell are you even trying to understand what I was trying to say....."
She began scolding Bell. Bell with a calm smile hugged Jupiter.
Jupiter with wide eyes and a red face " B-Bell w-what are you...."
Bell " Thank you, Jupiter, for your BLOOD PORTION. You saved me twice."
Jupiter with a realized look put her hands around his bare back. "You really are a stubborn one aren't you, Bell" Both of them completely forgot the situation they are in.
Then a waitress suddenly opened the door
Waitress with a smile "Ahhmm...."
Both of then suddenly realize their situation and let go of each other.
Waitress "Did I interrupt something,"
Jupiter " No- no Its just a misunderstanding, this idiot is the one who hugged me"
While Bell was staring at that waitress " You- You are... "
Waitress " A mere servant of lady Areela, in charge of this mansion."
Bell shocked " Wait a dawn minute, where the hell am I?"
Jupiter " Calm down, Bell. We are in your master's new mansion in Vampire town. When you fall down the cliff, she also came to recue. She suggested to take you here and I have no choice but to agree to her."
Bell " I see..... Then My family might think that I..."
Jupiter " Most probably".
A sudden sadness blinked in his face.
Waitress " It seems like you are doing well. Then please come visit Areela sama, she is been waiting for you."
Bell with a serious look nodded his head.
His master's name was Aleera. When Bell was about to crumple into dust back then, Aleera could feel him. She realized that death is going to take him away, so she used Teleport magic to get to him and rescue him. Bell's wounds were very severe. She casted a resurrection magic on him.
............
Master's room,
Aleera " Long time no see, my son"
Bell " Yes, long time no see, mother"
Jupiter " Eee..... Bell, are you her son?, I never know."
Aleera got up from her seat and came near Bell to gave him a warm hug. " He was adopted, and now I am his official mother."
Bell still inside his mother's hand "How did you know that I am about to die?"
Aleera " Don't underestimate a mother's love and care for her child, Bell"
Bell hugging her back " I am sorry to cause you trouble,"
Aleera and Bell let go of each other " What are you saying?, Bell, No matter what the consequences a mother will always protect her child ? I was doing what I needed to do."
Bell feeling proud of his mother.
Aleera bending down, lifting his shirt and starts checking his stomach" By the way Bell, how are your wounds doing?"
She starts checking his stomach and Bell was just standing there without hesitating to stop her.
Bell's face turns red.
Then he sensed a cold stare at him. Bell then looked to his right very slowly.
Jupiter was staring very coldly and intensely at him.
Bell got scared and looked the other way and also he began to sweat.
Aleera stood up " Looks like you are getting better. Now then it leaves only one question to you Bell."
Bell " What is it, mom?"
Aleera with a close up scary smile " What is she (Jupiter) to you?"
Bell closed his eye calmly " A friend who I am owe for saving my life."
Aleera and Bell stared at each other's eyes.
Aleera " Stubborn as always aren't you?"
Bell didn't reply for that and just looked down.
Jupiter wondering why was Bell silent.
A moment of silence.
Bell " Mother about my future plans, I..."
Aleera put a finger on his lips.
Aleera " You just wave up today, just go and have a visit around the mansion I brought recently, Lets discuss further details later."
Bell " Okay. Jupiter you come too."
Jupiter " Okay, sure"
Bell and Jupiter left the room. Aleera was looking out at the clear sky and was lost in thoughts. Then she returned to her table. Sat down in the chair. Pulled out two photographs from a drawer. One of them was that of Aiz Wallenstein and the other was of Jura.
Aleera with a scary smile " Finally I got to say Hello to these two."
