Last time on Lion pride
I sleep soundly knowing Lucy was going to be perfectly fine.
Natsu's P.O.V
The next few weeks I watch from afar at Lucy's progress. She was getting better. We still haven't found a sign of Gekkoka. Lucy still has nightmares. She still feels responsible of Gekkoka abduction. I can't help her with that I know that Gekkoka was the only lion to save Lucy from her doubts. I guess I have no choice but help her become strong.
Gekkoka's P.O.V
I keep running with no destination in mind. I smell familiar scent and I pound faster. I let the training that mama taught me sink in. She's not the fastest for no reason. I see the cave and I give another boast. I'm grabbed by my tail. I know I won't make it so I do the one thing I can think about to get mama.
"MAMA HELP!"
Lucy's P.O.V
"MAMA HELP!" I hear it clear as day. I know others did too but none were as fast as me. I leap to my paws and sped off to the sound of the rustle. I see Gekkoka fighting a one sided battle with the black lion named Zeref. I let my body do the talking. I run and leap landing right in front of Gekkoka. I rear up and slam my front paws in the lions head. He stumbles back temporarily blind. Gekkoka gives a happy meow. She looks no different than when she left. I smile before turning my gaze back on the lion in front of me. He was glaring at me with venom. I watch as he charges at me. I have no time to move out the way. I'm slammed onto the ground. I was fast at getting up though. He didn't expect that I slid under him and scratch at his underbelly. He hisses in pain but I'm not done yet. I bite his leg and jerk to one side. He trips and I roll out from under him. I hop on top of him before raking my hind paws on his flank. He seems to finally take the fight seriously. He stands up and slams his front paws on my side. I slide away from him and I'm dazed. I have no time to roil away when he bites my front paw. He bites hard. I squirm around before shooting my hind paws that hit his head. He yelps. I can see the blood dripping into his eyes. I hop up and falter from my paw wound.
"You are impressive" I hear him say his voice deep. I nod my head in his direction. He then says something that makes a growl emit from an unknown place.
"Come with me and become my mate" He asks. A loud growl is heard and I know it wasn't from me or Gekkoka. I look to where it came from and I'm shocked to see Natsu, Gajeel, Erza, Happy, Gray and Levy all standing behind me. I see that it was their growls.
"Over my dead body" They all say in unison. Erza and Natsu charge at Zeref and I can see that he didn't last a chance. Natsu bites deep in his paws and Erza rakes her claws across one of his wound on his flank. Watch as Zeref shakes them off and runs where he came from not before making eye contact with me and saying.
"I'll be back my love" Erza and Natsu rear up in a way of telling him to leave. He runs away. I take no time to hobble towards Gekkoka. She takes no time running to me. She jumps on me and I fall down. She licks my face with furiousness. I give out a happy laugh and do the same with her. Once she gets off me we stand up. I fall down and notice that my left front paw was a bloody mess. I had wounds that were also burning. Gekkoka gasps and looks at Natsu desperately to tell him to help me. He was already a step in front of her. Natsu with the help of Gray and Erza place me on his back. I give a low groan of pain. It hurt a lot and I remember one thing.
"I didn't defeat him" I whisper. They all hear me and look at me in amazement.
"Lucy you practically had his tail between his legs" Gray said. I nod but look at him and say.
"Yes I did but he was down on the ground" I seethe. I feel the need to run so I do the dumb thing I stand up on Natsu's back with a struggle. I leap off and run in front of them. I let my tears stream hot into my chest fur. I hear two lions behind me. I don't care and I continue to run. I feel the lions gaining on me. When I'm about to run up a hill. I hear two screams.
"LUCE STOP! MAMA STOP!" I don't stop in the right time I fall straight off the hill. That was turely a ravine. I feel the air whip my fur around. I watch as both Natsu's and Gekkoka's head pop up over the lip of the cliff. Their eye held horror and sadness. That was the last thing I saw before I plunge into the river.
Natsu's P.O.V
I look around and see a way down. I race to it with Gekkoka hot on my heels. We both carefully pick our way down the ravine's walls. When we make it down we immediately start to scour the whole ravine. The rest of the group catches s up with us and comes down just the same. We stay looking for hours but we find nothing. Gekkoka was crying in Happy's chest while I sit on a rock feeling sadness well up in my belly. Erza was crying gray's chest and levy doing the same with Gajeel. Both males have a grim look on their faces. I look at the sunrise and whimper out.
"Why is it always me?"
Lucy's P.O.V
I was woken up by the nudges of a nose. I open my eyes and I quickly sputter out water. I keep coughing with my chest wracking with shudders. I feel a lion near me no two lions. I turn to them and see that a gold lion was near me and an old white one. He looks the same age as Porlyusia. The white one steps forward and says.
"Hello my name is Makarov and this is my grandson Laxus"
Didn't see that coming did you? Yea who would leave these two out Idiots I tell you and way hope you enjoyed.
