Rare Species

Chapter Ten

{Natasha's POV}

One feet left the stability off the tree and that was the exact time Louis began to scream. Really loudly. Man he's hurting my ears. He clung to my body like a desperate koala making me hiss and hold my ears flat against my hair. My hands tightened around my bow as we gain a pace towards the lower half of the second tree.

"NATASHA!" Louis scream as I held in a yell of pain. My ears are very sensitive. W came towards the bottom and my hands let go of the bow in a desperate attempt to get away from Louis' high pitched screamed. We tumbled off and I hit the ground first making me grunt and roll. Louis followed as his screams stop and eventually we stopped.

"Natasha! Louis!" Harry yelled in panic as I shut my eyes. Ugh... why does my art hurt?

{Harry's POV}

I ran over towards the two. The landing obviously wasn't meant to go that way. Louis rolled on his back in pain as he squinted his eyes. I glanced a worry look towards Natasha but ran towards Louis first. I was scared to death I lost him and he was closest. Kneeling beside him, I helped him sit up as he cracked his neck. "Are you ok?!" I asked dusting him off.

"Yeah..." He winced before slowly getting to his feet. I helped him up though he stumbled but caught himself. "That was a pretty hard fall. Remind me to never get bored again." I rolled my eyes and looked over at Natasha that hadn't moved an inch.

"Natasha?" I asked letting go if Louis and running towards her.

"H-Harry..." She whispered out. That didn't sound good. Kneeling beside her, I pulled her onto her back. She slowly went with my pull though held her arm up to her chest. "My arm hurts..." She blinks up as I help her sit up. She groans in pain and clung to me supporting arm as I looked down at her. She took a hand away from her arm and I went wide eyed to see a large scratch from the fall and blood lining with it. The rest of her body was skidded in dirt and skin marks. She must be stinging all over. Though she did take the fall first and most of it for Louis as well.

"Is she ok?" Lois asked coming over as I shook my head.

"She needs to get cleaned up." Looking back towards Natasha, I pulled her into my chest before wrapping my arms around her. She fell limp in my embrace as I slowly lifted her up. She cringed as I came to my feet and looked around. She had a scratch on her left cheek bone and her ears were still pressed down against her hair.

"Louis." She said and looked up at him. "You've got quite the voice there." She lightly joked as he gave her a nervous smile.

"Hehe, yeah... sorry about that." Turning, I gestured Louis to follow us as began walking back to the house.

"My bow and arrow..." She breathed as I watched her head slowly fall onto my chest. Her tail hung between my legs and I felt it brush me every now and then.

"We'll get it later. Worry then." I reassured as we came back to the house. After minutes of walking, we entered through the back door. "Louis, you go sit down somewhere and get cleaned up. I'll help Natasha." He sighed and nodded before slowly leaving towards the stairs.

"Lounge room." Natasha whispered and I looked down at her. She nodded her head in the direction for me to follow. I walked with her instruction until coming upon a room which had to be the lounge room. "On the couch." She spoke again and I did what she wanted and walked towards the couch. "Sit down." She said as I turned and went to place her. "With me." I blinked back at her as she slowly looked up at me. "Please." I couldn't resist her request as I sat myself carefully on the couch.

She gripped my shirt and snuggled in against me. Brining my knees up, my feet rested against the coffee table as she was now rested closely against me. Her left ear kept twitching and I looked to see some fur had scraped off of it.

"Are you ok?" Stupid question. Of course she's not ok.

"Yeah, I'll be ok." She whispered holding her arm. My hand rubbed her shoulder and I leant my face closer to her hair.

"Should I get Alex or Ashley?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Give me a few minutes." Looking down at her, I lifted a hand and slowly tilted her chin up. Her head rested on my shoulder giving me a clear view of her face. The scratch on her cheek was still there making me frown. I pushed a piece of hair out of her face and leant in to observe it more. Her light shaky breathes hit my skin and I blinked back as she slowly opened her eyes to slits. A small smile came on her lips and I leant further in so my mouth came towards her cheek.

Her eyes slowly closed as I placed my lips lightly over her scratch. She hissed a bit in pain and flattened her ears. My tongue came out and I gave light kitten licks on her scratch making her grunt and tug at my shirt slightly. I finished by giving her light kisses over it and rested the lower part of my face against her forehead.

"My lady! My lord!" We looked over to see Ashley run into the room and inspect us. "I saw Louis had been torn up a bit and came to find you as fast as I could. Is everything ok?" She asked and I shook my head looking down at Natasha.

"Natasha needs to get cleaned up. Her arm is also bleeding. Please attend to that. I'm fine." Ashley nodded coming forward and slowly taking Natasha into her own hands.

"Thank you." Natasha whispered to me before being led out of the room.
