Zayora snickered. "Demons can't do that." Nonetheless the three siblings followed Cole. It took two days to find Zekyu.
"Dad is gonna be so angry." Zara huffed. "You know you can't just run off like that."
Zekyu shuddered when she thought of those sharp fangs and daggerlike claws coming for her. "I know."
"Mom too." Zephyr piped up. "She'll become a wild child in a split second once she hears you just ran off."
"I was tainted."
"We kind of guessed." Zayora muttered sarcastically. "You really did it this time Zekky. Now we're all in trouble."
Zekyu shot a glance at Cole. "And why is he here?"
"He insisted." Zayora sighed.
"Cole, don't you dare start a fight you fat old brawler. Not every time me and my family members are tense and arguing is an opportunity for you to spar. You're tainted for life! LIFE!! You just want to wrestle with everyone and anyone, including my father!" Zekyu growled.
Zayora blinked in confusion. "Wait... He said he was your mate!"
"He IS my mate! I just chose very poorly! Let's just go home and get grounded, it's better for me than talking to him!" The reddish gray lioness stormed off, leaving all of her littermates confused.
As soon as they got home, Kipekee approached them threateningly as Zephyr predicted. "Where were you?" She snapped.
"Zekyu was tainted and ran off. We just went after her. But we found Zayora! Can he stay? Please?" Zara purred. Zephyr smiled innocently.
"...alright. Zara, Zephyr, Zayora, you three are off the hook." Kipekee smiled warmly at her son. "Welcome home my sweet baby."
Zayora nuzzled his mother. "Thank you, mama."
As soon as the trio left, Kipekee snarled at Zekyu and Cole. "You two! Zavok's cave, NOW! No if, no but, no and, no nothing! Go!"
Zekyu whimpered and trotted over to her father's den.
Zavok was once again waiting by the fire, but this time Zomom, Zeena, Zazz, Zor and Master Zik were with him. He sighed disappointedly when Zekyu stepped into the cave. "You've been in here too many times in your life."
Zekyu looked at her paws, feeling guilty. "And my littermates have been here too little."
"That's what I've been saying that has been going in your right ear and out of your left." Zavok flicked his tail tip side to side. "You are a troublemaker, and so is your mate. You both will be punished."
Zekyu pulled her tail in between her legs. This was all her fault.
"Cole will have his immortality removed and Zekyu will be crippled for at least three months. Both of them are going into the pit for four months." Zavok's friends dipped their head faithfully to their leader. "Yes sir."
