Last time on Lion pride
"You are going to die wench" The lion growls. He leaps at me and I close my eyes and wait for the pain
Lucy's P.O.V
I keep my eyes closed and wait for the lion to kill me. That was until I hear fighting with growls and hisses. I open my eyes and I'm shocked to see that Natsu was fighting the other lion with furiousness. Happy stays rooted to the spot beside me. He must have went into shock when he saw the lion come at me. I return my attention to the fight and I'm really not surprised to see Natsu winning. He bites the other lion's leg and trips him. Natsu quickly places a paw on top of the lion's chest and growls low at him.
"You will leave my pride alone" The lion puts his ears down and pulls himself from under Natsu. The lion turns and runs then turns and growls at me.
"I will get you back for the scar wench" He then runs off to oblivion. I shake from the threat and try to forget it. Natsu turns to me and walks to me I open my mouth to say I'm fine only for him to walk to my side. He nudges Happy and he wakes up. Natsu after asking Happy how he was he turns to me with fire in his eyes.
"Are you stupid!?" He yells.
"What? I-I was just trying to help" I said.
"Yea well if I wasn't here both you and happy would be dead. Gajeel will not hesitate to kill you. Next time you want to get yourself killed do it by yourself" With that he huffs and beckons Happy to follow. I stand where I was and watch as they walk away from my view. I sigh and slump on to the ground. I hate being useless. I let out a little whimper and stand back up. I'm going to do what I do best: Run. I take off running in a random direction. I run for hours and I have always bended to stay away from crossing borders. I huff and puff when I finally slow down to a quick jog. My paws ached from the long run and I was flat out tired. I look up in the sky and see the sun was setting and I have no idea where I am. I walk around for a couple of minutes till I come in range of the border. I know where to go from here. I walk towards the pride and when I arrive its dark. I was about to enter when the guilt of this afternoon came into mind. I shy away and lay down beside one of the outer walls.
"Guess I'll sleep here" I mutter a tear slides out my eye and disappears into my fur. I lay my head down on my crossed paws. I sigh in sadness before slipping away.
Next morning
I wake up to a sunny sky and not a sound was made. I stand and stretch out my legs. I pad away from the cave and see a baby analope walking around making a calling sound. I instinctively crouch and move towards the foe. When I was close enough I leap in the air. I land right beside the foe and I grab its neck. The foe jostle around in hopes of getting out of my grip. I let go when the foe stops moving and lays limp. I let go and look at my kill with excitement.
"Very good" I hear a female voice say. I whip around to see Erza, the red lion I saw before.
"Thank you" I bow my head and look back up at her. She walks to my kill and examines it.
"Very impressive it was a clean kill and not a messy one. You are good for a rookie" I nod and she walk stop me.
"Why are you up so early?" I ask.
"Because Natsu was saying how you never returned last night and he thinks he was a little too harsh on you" She explains.
"I slept outside because of my guilt" I say. She nods and grabs the foe she tosses it on my back and walks to the cave. I follow with a bit of a struggle. When we arrive everyone takes one look at my back and then congratulates Erza only for her to say that I was the killer. The lions then stares at me in shock. I follow Erza to Natsu's cave. She walks in while I stay out in fear of seeing him. She calls out for me when I don't follow. I walk in and Natsu is staring at me with frustration and relief?
"Did you kill that Lucy?" He asks. I only nod and pray to be able to leave the cave. Tension rises in the air and Erza stands up.
"I will take the foe to the eating cave" She grabs it and walks out the den. I turn to follow only for Natsu to call my name. I turn and see he has stood up.
"Take a walk with me" He says. We walk out his cave and walks out the main cave too. We walking the savanna and he starts talking.
"Lucy I know that you were trying to help but that wasn't the thing to do-" I cut him off.
"Yes yes I know I could have got Happy killed" I say, hotly. Natsu sighs and shakes his mane.
"Lucy it's not just that but you could have died as well. You are a new addition to our family and that really would be bad for a rookie to die on their first day." He says. I stand in shock did that lion who hates me just say that. He stops walking when he notices that I stopped following him.
"What I can't be nice?" He asks. I shake my head no and he chuckles.
"Lucy I may be hard on you but I need to be because I'm leader and I have to be strict" He explains.
"You seem like you hated me" I mutter to myself.
"Yes but I never have" He says. I mutter again.
'Yea right pinkie" He turns around before grinning.
"Okay Goldie"
Done on to chapter 3
