Chapter 8
[Wolf's POV]
I pulled out my dagger and handed it to Lucy. She took the dagger and started stabbing the top of the babo fruit.
"Woah, that's not how you do it. Here, give it to me." She gave e a quick glance. She looked down at the fruit, and looked back at me, she handed me the fruit and the dagger. I took the dagger in my right hand, and started chipping off the top of the babo. Soon enough, I could see the milky water swishing in the fruit.
"Here, give it a try,"I handed the fruit back to her. She took a sip, and her eyes brightened. She looked at me excitedly and took another sip.
"Oh my gosh, this thing is so delicious!" she exclaimed. "This is the best thing I've ever eaten! How did I never have this before? It tastes almost magical. Oh wow, I think I fell in love with it."
"Haha, yeah I know. It's pretty good," I said. I took the fruit that I brought and cut it until I got to its core. "But be careful, because some of the fruits and plants here are poisonous. So I want you to stick right next to me, got it?"
Lucy suddenly moved her head so I couldn't see her face. "Y...yeah, got it," she replied.
[Lucy's POV]
"So I want you to stick right next to me, got it?" That sentence, for no reason, made my heart flutter.
I was so surprised by his words as well as my reaction towards it, that I quickly turned my head away from him and let out an awkward "Y...yeah, got it." I clenched my eyes shut and mentally punched myself for acting like an idiot. After a moment, I slowly opened my eyes and turned my head until I saw Wolf. He wa slurping down his babo, as if nothing happened. I sighed and relaxed. I looked at the fruit in my hands, and then put it up against my lips. I drank the whole thing in one gulp.
I abruptly stood up, smacked the back of Wolf's head, and skipped towards where our baggage was. I looked back, and saw Wolf glaring at me as he was choking on his babo juice. I smiled brightly and waved enthusiastically. I giggled softly to myself, and continued skipping my way.
When I got there, I sat down and started thinking about things. My decision of saving Wolf and befriending him was great; I could already tell that. But my strength and my skills… it was too obvious to me that I was weak. I got a better idea of why my previous teammates abandoned me…
Before I could continue my train of thought, Wolf trudged towards me. "Girlie, get up," he said.
[3rd Person POV]
"Are we finally doing something?" Lucy looked up to him, smiling. Before Wolf could answer, Lucy suddenly stood up and said, "Yay!"
Wolf looked at Lucy, shook his head, and sighed. "It would be much better if you would rest, but since you're such a stubborn girl, I decided that I should test you out a bit more. All I'm trying to see is how much you can do, so don't over do it. Just think of it as your daily workout, okay?"
"Uhh, I never really worked out before, but okay!" Lucy said.
Wolf looked shocked after what Lucy said. "You never…? No, never mind. I'm not going to question it. Okay, so the first thing is to test how many sets of ten sit ups you can do, got it?"
Lucy went off, doing her best to do as much she could do: 2 sets. The next workouts were something similar: push ups, lunges, burpees.
When they were done, Lucy was panting and Wolf was sighing. Virgo got Lucy a bottle of cold water and fresh towels.
"Girlie…"
