Chapter 3 Wolf's Soul and Sprit
Lucy's Pov (age 9 months)
After dad's story I didn't go to sleep immediately I stared outside and listened to the sounds of the crickets, the gurgle of the stream, the whisper of the breeze through the trees and…. Footfalls close by I sniffed and smelled cinnamon and lilies I looked over to my parents and mom was on top of dad, so why is mom's scent outside? I got up and licked my parents to wake them up. "What is it" dad asked. "Mom's scent is outside" I answered "I'll check it out get some sleep" he said and with that he left a wave of his pine and mineral scent hitting me as he passed. After that I went to sleep.
Lucy's Dream
I was standing in a valley no one was around just me I went to examine the tree in the distance. It was a pine tree much like the ones in my home. I looked to the right and saw my parents but they were growling at something I looked to where they were facing but nothing was there. "Lucy" my father barked "this way" I followed them east and only east. As we ran my parents said the words I would live by for the rest of my life "You may only be half wolf but you have the spirit and soul of a wolf" mom adds "Along with the smarts and heart of a husky" after that they disappear
I wake up to a base tone growl it's my dad saying "Run while you can Phantom Lord is almost here" "But, what about mom" I ask "Don't worry, just go you have the soul of a wolf and the smarts of a husky they will guide you." I ran out of the cave and to the east as fast as I could.
Just as I got out of my forest I heard growls and howls from the Phantom Lord pack but I kept running at top speed I didn't stop until I got to Fairy Tail pack territory and made it in three days half the time it normally takes and slept for as long as I could.
Laxus POV (age 1 year)
I was in my den when Gramps told me to get up and go on patrol so without a word I left. When I got out of the populated area of the forest I stopped and sniffed the air nothing so I ran west first as I completed that circuit I picked up the scent of wild berries and pine I went in that direction. The scent got stronger but I couldn't tell what pack I was dealing with Limia Scale maybe not Mermaid Heel they smell like salt and redwood. It's not Limia Scale they smell like wild berries and oak, this was pine. I decided to get closer. What I saw confused me, a she-wolf just one at that, I stayed where I was and watched her. After a few minutes her ear twitched she rubbed her face with her right paw and woke up, but I didn't move a muscle. When she sniffed the air she noticed me and looked straight at my bush.
She was beautiful her light brown and white coat shimmered in the morning sun her eyes were also brown and I fell like no matter how much time I spend looking at them I will never find the bottom, they tell a story.
Lucy's POV
The sound of rustling leaves woke me up. I picked my head up sniffed the air, which had the scent of rain and maple, and looked at the bush I didn't move until he comes out a few minutes later. He is bigger than dad, with wide shoulders, a deep gold coat and midnight blue eyes. Why isn't he attacking me? I'm in his territory, and then it hits me. I block him out completely and listen. The rest of the pack was to the east by ten or so miles by the sound of it I sniffed and over the scent of the wolf next to me were many scents the most noticeable being smoke along with another scent of citrus and earth.
Laxus POV
Not only is she beautiful she's smart. When she opens her eyes to look at me I ask "Who are you" and to that she answers with no aggression "Lucy, I'm from the west and I have no pack so I have no reason to gather information about your territory." No pack I thought and then I asked her another question "How old are you?" she said simply "nine months" I was dumbstruck nine months old and no pack it's unheard of. "Get up" I say
Lucy's POV
I get up, and look at him "this is a test" he says and comes at me with his teeth. In a split second I go to the ground and bite his front right paw, yanking it from under him. Taking that opportunity to bite his ear and hold his head down with his mouth in the air. I let him up still watching intently. He looks at me and smiles "You pass, would you like to join the Fairy Tail pack?" "May I?" I ask excited. I follow him as he starts to walk.
