[PRIVATE] Taming the Lioness's Heart

[VitanisMate]

Adeola started to feel very bad now. "I promised to return. I...I...I...just am not good at staying in one place for very long. Do you know how it feels to be told by your mother that she didn't want you or to be almost killed by your father's own hands after he says he doesn't want you?"

She looked away and tried to settle down. "Adeola it had nothing to do with your love at all it had to do with my dark past." She looked really not sure if Adeola wanted to hear this. "Do you know how it feels to have someone to talk to who understands what you are going through and who also has a dark past?"

===

Kujasuri cursed seeing that all eyes were on him. He knew he was dead meat now and would not live.

"Me? I was just visiting this favorite pride of mine." He laughed nervously and headed for the Outlands. "In fact I was just going! And all that stuff Mzuri said about her and I was not true. Okay it was false! I did not do anything! Do you think I would fall in love with a cubby runt? I mean uh..."

@VitanisMate: Adeola turned her head and looked down at her, fury now in her eyes to sit beside the sadness. "Do I know?" She got to her fours, still looking down at the cub she knew, "No, I don't. Because I was given a chance at a bright future, and that's what I tried to give you".

She walked away a little and sat down, "maybe I haven't had the dark past that you claimed to have, and maybe I haven't found someone whom I can relate to. But you can't sit there and not address that for once, when you arrived, I felt like I was needed. Like something depended on me for its survival, and that I was caring for something I wanted to care for, not that I needed to care for".

Afolabi got in front of Kujasuri so he couldn't pass, and Neobi was right behind him, Malaika covering his sides. "You would be so lucky as to have Mzuri as your anything" Neobi growled, coming right up to the male. They weren't going to hurt him...if he played his cards right.

"And we don't look to be a favorite anything to you" Afolabi said, keeping his position. Obviously, they were still remembering what had happened that long time ago.

Kamy look at Adeola confuse by what she said, then Kamy ask her "what do yo umean mommy?", she was afraid that something bad could happen, like if they didn't want to let them live in this pride, whatever was, Kamy just get on Adeola's back

[Nakisisa]

"Because" Naki siad "The more i know about you, the more i can teach you, the more you can learn and the more you can live where you want, without anyone there" Naki finished following Adeola

[VitanisMate]

"Adeola I...I." She didn't know what to say really. She looked down. "I do have a bright future Adeola! I am having a cub of my own now. Would you treat it like a disease because of who the father is? I thought...I thought you would be happy for me! I thought you would understand!"

She felt mad that Adeola was not seeing her side of the story. "And if having wounds the size of which you saw the first day you met me is fake then I don't know you anymore!" She looked at Adeola and said, "Also the father of this child makes me very happy okay!" She said one last thing to her before calming down. "Also I did love you! I loved you more than anyone!"

===

Kujasuri cursed and said, "Let me pass! I mean no harm to you. I was punished unjustly! Who saved the three lionesses from the hands of those sick lions! Did any of you?! No I did it! No singlehandedly did it! And then you repaid me with exile and murder!"

He saw the pride formed around him and said, "Do you wish to torment me more? Don't you think I have been tormented enough?! Why must you make me stay?!"

@SilverSimba01: "Well...I mean, go on an adventure without the others. It would be really fun, wouldn't it?" She asked her cub, trying to sooth her and make sure she wasn't jumping to conclusions. "You see, I've never really been outside of the prides' lands, and I think it would be fun to see all the sights worth seeing, don't you?"
==================================
@Nakisisa: She let out a sigh and walked on with him. "Fine, fine".

She just had to figure out what really to say. Or what she felt comfortable telling him. No matter, she would find the words one way or another. They strode on together, and walked past the dens of other lions and lionesses.

Looking around her, she saw that there was nothing awake for the most part. Whenever she woke at this same hour, she was always restricted to the land of her pride until her parents woke and gave her permission to go and wander the lands outside the imaginary boundary. How would they react if they found out she was leaving them for good? Or, at least until they came back for a visit?

She padded on through the grass and looked around. She wasn't able to admit to Naki, but she had never seen that much of the Pridelands. He would probably think she was a child, not being able to hold her way through all the sun shed lands that belonged to Kovu and his...mate.
===============================
@VitanisMate: Though she knew that the father of her grandchild made her daughter happy somehow, she still couldn't forget all he did to the pride and all he tried to do. "Would you treat it like a disease because of who the father is? I thought...I thought you would be happy for me! I thought you would understand!" She whipped her head around and looked at her.

"Now wait just a moment! Don't go putting words in my mouth just because you're angry. You may be an adult now, but you do not speak to me like that. You want someone to talk to you like an adult, you speak to them like one". The leader role she had gotten from the year was going to her head...no, it was basic respect. Maybe they had none of that in the Outlands.

"You seem to not get it through your skull that Adeola did it because she was trying to protect Mzuri. Would you trust yourself after all that happened to you and your loved ones?" Neobi roared. Malaika kept her gaze on the male they were defending themselves against.

"And the way I recalled it, the king and queen would have taken care of the lions anyways" Malaika replied, remembering all the things that had happened to her and her sister when he was around.

"And now, you're going to stay here. You came here with Mzuri, we saw you. And you're not backing out being with her just because you're afraid of us knowing the truth that you're blind to" Afolabi finished.

Kamy put a happy face and say happily "yes mommy, sounds like fun", Kamy was excited once she hear that new, but then Kamy ask her "But when and where are we going?"

[Nakisisa]

"Adeola" Naki broke the silence "Would you like to see something amazing?" Naki said

[oXButterflyKissesXo]

@SilverSimba01: The cub brought up a good question to ponder. Where were they going to go? Certainly no where where her pride would find her or Kamy. "Tonight" she replied. Adeola gave a smile to the cub, but she would figure out where they would run to when she was taking Kamy with her.
==========================
@Nakisisa: Upon hearing her name, her legs started to buckle. Never before had she heard someone say her name and she had this kind of reaction towards it. Though, she regained herself and looked at him, "sure". She didn't admit it, but she was excited to see what he had in store for her.

[Nakisisa]

"Ok then" Naki said "I Hope your ready to run" Naki finished sprinting towards the border of the Pride lands and the outlands
