[Request] Absolute Freedom

Guerra stepped towards Mipa and eyed the chubby lioness, her struggle to get to her paws amused him and he let out a chuckle. “Hello. Im Guerra and that’s Luna.” he said ina low tone. Reclining himself back he eyed the chubby lioness and then looked to the right at the odd cheetah.

He blinked his mossy eyes a few times and looked back at the Chubby lioness, “Well...you’ve got quite a selection of animals here.” he said pulling himself up to his paws. He took a few sniffs of the air around them and looked back at Luna.

The grey furred lioness was distracted by the Cheetah and she stepped closer to Guerra, “Hello Cheetah…” Luna answered. Luna looked to Mipa and stared at her large belly, she had never seen such a fat lioness. She brought her forepaw to her muzzle lips giggled out loud softly, “Guerra, Can you go get us some food? I’m hungry.” she stated flatly. She reclined back to her paws and looked at Mipa and Star. “You can call me Luna.” she added.

Guerra looked at Luna and rolled his mossy eyes, “Fine.” he grumbled and disappeared into the thick trees. He moved at a quick pace and he kept his body low to the ground trying to catch a scent. A grin passed Guerra’s muzzle lips as he caught the scent of a warthog, “Dinner time..” he growled in a low tone. Picking up speed the male lion made his way through the thick trees in search of the pig.

“What Pride are you from?”Luna asked referring to the rather plumb Mipa. Luna’s pale eyes glanced back over at the cheetah; she never really spoke with them. A few of her old clan member’s mixed with panthers, but never cheetahs.

OOC: may not be on tomorrow so making two posts today - also to compensate for not posting yesterday:)

“You can call me Luna.”

"I’m Mipa,” Mipa said. She straightened up a little: they didn’t seem like they wanted to hurt her. In fact, the big male had even complimented her on her catch!

“What Pride are you from?”

"Hilltree Pride,” Mipa said. “You look like you’re from the same area: our colours are similar, even our eyes.” She gave a nervous smile, then looked to the cheetah. “You’re all welcome to eat what you can. I’ve... erm... had enough.” She paused for a moment, then awkwardly turned away.

This was so embarrassing.

She didn’t have long to think about it though before another lioness walked into her clearing. Months and months without seeing anyone and now three lions and one cheetah in the space of five minutes. Something fishy was going on.

“Hey, are you all part of the same pride or-”
The new lioness gave a roar of pain and collapsed into the sand. Fearful again, Mipa waddled over, sniffing tentatively, though kept an eye on her new companions.

“What’s going on here? Did one of you do this?” she asked.

Star was rather scared. She knew part of her family were killed by lions so she was really anxious. She was starving so she ran over to the dead zebra and started chowing down. "Wow- this is great." she said. Her mouth was stuffed as big as a chipmunk's cheeks. She wasn't paying any attention to the lioness that had just collapsed, she was way too focused on her food.

After Star had eaten almost the whole zebra, she finally started paying attention to her surroundings. "Hey...she okay?" Star trotted over to the dropped lioness. She ran over to when Mipa was standing. When she stood by Mipa, she had to laugh because she was so tall and thin and Mipa was so short and chubby.

Star lifted the head of the lioness, but she was still out. "I don't know what's going on."

Kesi could hear talking around her but still couldent bring herself back to consiousness, she then felt something or someone touch her, that quickly snapped her out of her unconsious state, "dont hurt me please" she yelled as she threw her paws over her head, she was terrified, could she trust these other felines, she didnt know but didnt want to find out the hard way, so she pleaded with them "i will do anything just please dont hurt me" she was so frightened that a cold shiver ran down her spine, so many bad things had happened in such a short time and she was only a teen so she wasent used to dealing with adult problems, she was so scared but her belly started to groweld once again "still so hungry" she thought to herself again as she caught the raw scent of blood, she had not eaten since her pride left her around six days ago and she was growing weaker by the minute, she was only a teen and therefor not a very good huntress so the way she seen it her mother and the rest of her pride just left her to die.

Luna’s pale eyes glanced at Mipa as she talked, “My pride is in the mountain areas, I’m very far from my home. Yes, Guerra and I are from the same Pride.” she said softly. Luna lifted her grey forepaw and rubbed her ebony colored chest fur and she thought of a moment. Her train of thought was interrupted when a lioness stumbled through the bushes and passed out. Blinking her blue eyes Luna slowly stepped near Mipa and the Cheetah as they checked out this new lioness.

Guerra spied the warthog digging his nose in some mud and the lion smirked silently. Pulling out his claws and flashing his fangs he launched himself on top of the warthog. Wrestling with the fat pig until he could sink his fangs into the throat of the animal, the animals struggle slowly stopped. Guerra ripped his claws from the flesh of the warthog and he started to drag it back to the clearing to feed Luna.

Luna looked over Kesi and poked her with her forepaw, “She doesn’t look dead…” she added. She heard a crack in the bushes and noticed Guerra pulling a warthog, a smile crossed her features. “Finally..its about time.” she snapped. Luna stepped up to the pig and sunk her teeth into its stomach, devouring the fresh meat. Her pink tongue found its way outside her lips as she lapped up the blood on her muzzle.

Guerra took his fill but left the rest to Luna or any other lioness that was hungry. Guerra stepped up near Star and Mipa and looked at the lioness lying on the ground. “Is she okay?” he asked looking to them. His mossy colored eyes checked out this weird collection of animals and he looked back at Luna. He stepped over to her and pulled some meat off and laid it in front of the lioness on the ground “Eat.” he simply stated. Guerra looked at the female’s wounds and sized up the damage, she looked malnourished. The lion stepped back and reclined onto the soft grass, relaxing his body for a moment.

Luna finished her meal and laid in the grass nearby her blue eyes checking out the passing clouds. She was so full and tired, she didn’t want to get up and travel anymore. Taking a few moments Luna rolled to her full belly and began cleaning herself, she licked her paws and fixed the ruffled fur on her face.

Mipa frowned. Things were happening far too quickly around here. As the injured lioness begged frantically for her life she stepped back, then lowered her head.

The dark strangers hadn't said if they'd been the ones to attack her or not... she wondered what sort of company she was keeping.

At that moment, the cheetah laughed. Mipa glared at her.

"What's so funny?" she said. The injured lioness begging for her life hadn't amused Mipa one little bit. Instead she walked forwards, putting her mouth near the injured lioness' ear.

"Shh," she whispered, glancing up at the two dark lions, who seemed to be more interested in their own lunch than helping this lioness. "Who did this to you? What did they look like?"

Jelani stopped running. Turning around, he caught a glimpse of his little brother, Buru, as he walked towards him, out of breath from having struggled - and failed - to keep up with the adolescent.

"Hurry!" He shouted, anxiously scanning the vast landscape for any type of sudden movement, "We need to get out of here, quick!"

The cub tried to obey his brother, afraid to get left behind if he did not, but his frail little body was shaking so much he could barely stand. He laid down in the dry grass, panting and wondering what would happen if he died, whether Jelani would miss him or even think about him.
They had been walking for several days without getting as much as a meerkat to eat, not because there weren't any herds of antelope or wildebeest about, but because every single attempt at hunting had failed miserably. Jelani was strong for his age, but he had never hunted anything in his life and now that their mother was dead, there was no one to teach him. He had definitely made some progress, but time was running out for little Buru, who kept getting weaker and weaker.

"Come on, Buru! Get up!" Jelani exclaimed as the cub collapsed once again, "We have to keep moving, or we'll be in big trouble!"

"I..I can't, Jelani."

"Yes, you can! Please get up!"

His stomach lurched as he gazed at him. His dark pelt was looking dull and he could see his ribs shockingly clearly through the skin.
So what if they caught up with him. On second thought, it seemed rather unlikely thay they would, and if they did, he would just have to deal with it. He couldn't let the cub die. His little brother was, after all, the only family he had left now.

Jelani let out a little sigh as he sat down. This was going to be a long day.

Luna finished cleaning herself and was quite satisfied at the moment and she let out an annoyed huff. She raised an eyebrow at Guerra and his jester of meat to the hurt lioness, “Always had a soft spot for weaker females..” she hissed through her muzzle lips. A smirk crossed her beautiful features as she noticed Mipa whispering to the hurt lioness and she emitted a low growl. “Secrets don’t make friends.” she commented loudly. Pulling herself to her haunches Luna took a moment to survey the land, it seemed pretty quiet. But she wondered where the pride was that this chunky lioness belonged too.


Guerra listened to the whispers and his ears perked forward as he heard a few words and his ears flattened down to his cranium tightly. He stood to his big paws and looked over at Mipa and Star, “So you know Mipa, me and Luna come from a very particular Pride in the mountains. If we had attacked your skinny lioness here, she’d be dead.” he said sternly, his mossy eyes watching them closely. He turned his back and made his way over to Luna, “I will tell you one thing though, I didn’t hurt this female and I would’ve known if Luna did.” he snapped and stepped away towards a tree. He paused for a moment and looked back at them, “You better watch the company you keep...” he warned and laid down under the tree.

Luna got side tracked from her grooming and watched Guerra move under a tree and she smirked. Always like him to try and be nice and then go back to being cold, Luna stepped towards Mipa and Star. “Well..this was a lovely meeting. So where’s your Pride AT?” she asked Mipa curiously.

[Alicia]

"Secrets don't make friends."

Mipa didn't dare glance up, and soon heard the male approaching her. She listened to his words without meetings his eyes, and waited for him to leave before she even dared to breathe.

"If we had attacked your skinny lioness here, she’d be dead.”
So, he had killed before. By the sounds of it, without mercy.

“I will tell you one thing though, I didn’t hurt this female and I would’ve known if Luna did... You better watch the company you keep...”

She watched the male trot away a short distance, fear filling her to her ears. The male had threatened her... not with injury, but with death, for he didn't attack anyone he didn't intend to kill. She gave the injured lioness another soft shake, but so far, she was unresponsive... then the female dark lioness came forward.

“Well..this was a lovely meeting. So where’s your Pride AT?”

"Uhh... east," she lied. The last thing she wanted to do was give away her family's location to a pride of killers. "Far east, waaaay through the jungle and near the coast." She nodded, eyes shifting about uncomfortably. "So... uhh... what are you two doing out and about?"

[Songo]

Luna's pale eyes watched Mipa shift uncomfortably and she sat back, "Me and Guerra are on a few missions; Guerra has 3 missions to finish himself and I have my duties to find a missing lioness from our Pride and bring her back. She is an heir to the throne and my best friend, she resembles our colorings. Have you seen any lioness like that?" she asked curiously. Luna knew Sole' was farther ahead of them and Luna also knew Sole' was trying to cover her tracks. Luna sighed and looked up at the sky, thoughts flooding her mind as she waited.


Guerra relaxed under the tree and enjoy the shade, he recalled his duties in his mind. 1. Protect Luna, 2. Find Sole and the 3rd one? Well that brought a small smirk to Guerra's features as he watched the group talk. Luna was always better at small talk then him, he was more all action. Even though Guerra was relaxed under the tree his ears were always scooping the different noises and listening for sounds out of place. He payed attention to the little things others tend to miss, he was a good hunter. Sighing softly Guerra let his eyelids close and he found himself dozing off to dream land.
