The Bunny And The Dragon
Falling Bunny, Awaiting Arms.
Chapter 4
I look from Jose, the Phantom Lord Guild master, to out the window. I try to decide which one is the best choice, which one is safer with a higher survival rate. It really is a close call, each one is equally dangerous.
Suddenly I feel it, it's him, Natsu. Somehow I know, beyond doubt, he has found me and he is outside the castle. Don't ask me how I know, I just do. It is a gut feeling. The last time I had this feeling, it was when Natsu offered to let me join the guild, I chose to follow him on a gut feeling, it was the best choice I have ever made.
I turn my back to the window and give a smile to my captor, before I let myself fall back and drop out the window. I pick up speed as I go down and I feel the wind rip past me as I go down, as if trying but failing to catch me. But I am not afraid, because I know Natsu is down there to catch me.
Bam! I feel his arms around me, before he is pulled to the ground with me from the sheer force I hit him with. We roll a bit before we settle down, but through it all, he never let go of me. He holds me tight like he will never let me go. The instant I met his arms, a feeling of safety enveloped me and I knew everything was going to be alright for Natsu will always be there for me.
I groan in pain. No matter how much Natsu had broken my fall, I still hit the ground with a hard thump.
"Are you okay Lucy," Natsu asks me, looking worried. I look at him and am happy to see he appears perfectly unharmed. It's like this guy is invincible and never feels any pain. I shake my head in amazement.
"I'm fine, just a couple of bumps and bruises. Nothing a little of time won't heal. But, thanks for worrying about me," I say after I take I quick inventory of myself.
"That's good," he says, sighing in relief.
Something occurs to me. "By the way, how did you find me?" I ask him curiously. How did he manage to pull of this feat?
"I followed your sent all the way here," he says arrogantly, totally proud of himself. "There was no way I was going to wait quietly while they had you," he continues, almost growling in anger staring up to the tower. With his eyes narrowed like that, his threatening look, his rough voice, and for a second I could have sworn I saw something akin to scales making a brief appearance replacing his skin, he looked almost animalistic. I shiver; I can almost feel the death waves he is emitting. I am so glad I am not them right now. "And Lucy, I will always follow you, even to the ends of the earth and back. I always and will always know where you are, and If I don't I will find out," he says confidently, charmingly, and smiling at me like the fool hi is, totally unaware of the implications of his words. Well I am not, and I can feel myself heating up, a heavy blush invading my face. It is really like Natsu to say something so charming like that yet mean a whole different thing.
"Oh," I say, totally speechless and suddenly shy from his bold declaration. "Well, thank you," I say appreciatively.
"No problem Lucy," he says back. Suddenly, his face morphs into a show of rage and he looks at me coldly. I stare back at him in shock, wondering what I could have possibly have done to make him angry.
"Say Lucy," he says slowly, rage dripping from his voice, I gulp nervously. "Why in Kami's name did you jump from that tower? Are you stupid? Do you know how dangerous that was? What if I wasn't there to catch you? You'd be dead. What the hell were you thinking?" he yells at me angrily and I cower back away from him at the tone he is using. I don't think he has ever gotten mad at me or yelled at me. Surprisingly, I find that I don't like it, I don't like it one bit.
"It wasn't stupid or dangerous because I knew you were out there. I knew you would catch me," I say confidently, not at all ashamed of my trust in him.
Curiously, his face turns as pink as his hair and he mumbles out a quiet, "oh,"
I laugh at his speechlessness.
"How did you know I was down there," he asks curiously.
"I just knew you were down there" I tell him honestly.
He nods back at me in understanding, not questioning my answer. He probably has had those moments to.
I finally notice, albeit a bit late, that I am still in his arms and he has not let go of me yet. I flush even deeper that before when I realize this. How did I now notice this before?
"Hey Natsu," I ask him tentatively, trying to get his attention. When I see he has gotten over him embarrassment, I continue. "Do you think you can let go of me now," I ask politely.
"No," he says back slyly and pulls me closer to him, making me blush even harder.
"Please," I ask, trying to be nice.
"No," he says again
"Why not," I ask, whining like a little child, losing my nice guise seeing at it wasn't getting me anywhere.
"Because I don't want to," he says childishly. I groan, when he gets like this, he is absolutely impossible.
"Come on Natsu, let go," I plead with him even though I already know it is hopeless.
"No, and that's final," he says with a don't-ask-me-again voice.
I decide to just give in and not fight any longer seeing as it not getting me anywhere. With anyone else I would have struggled, but I have tried to get out of Natsu's grip before, and that didn't work. Seeing that he is equally determined as then to keep me in his arm, I know there is no way in hell that I will get away. I sigh in defeat. Well, he did come to my rescue today; I might as well give into his whim. We are going to have to leave soon anyway. Until then though . . . his arms will keep me comfort.
The dragon came to the bunny's rescue again. The bunny really does get herself into a lot of trouble. It's a good thing she has her dragon to protect her. The price really isn't that high, all the dragon asks for in return is her. With all the trouble she gets into, it look like she will be paying off that debt for the rest of her life. She will never be able to leave the dragon's clutches.
I hope you enjoyed it!
