Chapter 10: Classroom Pains

3rd POV:

"OW!"

"Miss Vermillion, please try and calm down, it will only be for today. Then you can dress however you want." A soft voice pleaded.

The young redhead groaned loudly, flopping back in the chair and allowing Rella to finish styling it. Natsu had lived here for seven days now and it had been a large adjustment for everyone. Natsu refuses to talk about the attack; which made it harder for everyone as they weren't able to predict her triggers. they sadly had to get used to the fact that she wasn't ready and she wouldn't be anytime soon. At least that's what she had been telling her newfound family, the truth was she could barely remember the event herself.

Fuegoleon had the most trouble out of his siblings. After the first night, he realized just how much the whole ordeal scared her. Every night was the same; he would help her get ready for bed, and wishing her goodnight was something she always reminded him to do before he left. Then he would wake up to her entering his room and pressing herself to his back. He hadn't talked to her about it as in the morning he would feel her sneak back out to her room, where she would remain until someone got her for breakfast.

"There! Oh young miss you are just the cutest!" Rella Squealed stars dancing in her eyes. Natsu grumbled, by now used to the woman's antics. Rella seemed to take pleasure in torturing her using cutsie, frilly dresses, and accessories. Natsu was in the same dress from her first day, this was surprisingly Rella's favorite outfit to style. 'Plain enough to add to, but not so plain as to be so distract.' she would say.

Throughout the week that Natsu had been living with her dad, she only had to dress up a few times. One of the times was when she had to meet the "king" of clover, someone she was ashamed to admit she was distantly related to. Today was a different story, she was going to meet her instructor. The person would be teaching her in academics, and manners, and training her, the training was something she was most excited about seeing as it was something she used to do with Sig. A knock interrupted the pair and without waiting for an answer the familiar long hair woman marched in.

Mereoleona marched over and grabbed the back of Natsu's dress, "What are you doing, you were supposed to be out over five minutes ago!" she yelled dragging the young girl out. Rella, who had just stepped to the side and allowed the lioness to take her, was waving with her usual smile.

"I thought you would want to see me off." Natsu heard her aunt grumble. Oh yeah; this was also her Aunt Leona's last morning here and she was leaving within the hour.

Quick to defend herself Natsu looked up at the woman dragging, "I did want to say goodbye, but Rella made me try on so many different outfits." She paused and biggings to struggle in the older woman's grip, "I swear she thinks I'm a doll or something!" she was suddenly dropped on her backside.

She groaned and stood up, she was now in the courtyard that connected three houses. she wasn't allowed to go any further...

She and her Aunt were the only ones there, "What about Uncle and Leon." Natsu asked. Her Aunt was so impatient with her, but Leona's own siblings weren't even here yet.

The woman scoffed, "I don't need to bid them a farewell." she stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Natsu cocked an eyebrow and asked her to elaborate. Sighing Leona did, "Your the only one that will be affected by me leaving so I figured you would want to see me off yourself."

Natsu nodded, looking at her own feet, "Soo when will you be back?" She knew her aunt wouldn't stay here forever, Leona said so herself, but that didn't make it any easier. Mereoleona was the first person she felt safe with when everything went downhill.
