The Pride Lands (Zeke, NM, kovu42, morri908)

[kovu42]

"But Mila, I can't see a bloody thing in this cave. It's too dark!" He tried to crawl towards her voice, but everything was echoing and he soon found himself bumping his nose into a very much solid wall. "OK, so that wasn't the hole..." he thought aloud while rubbing his now sore nose.

[Zeke]

Zeke slowly rose to his paws and walked over to where he heard Bakari. His eyes were beginning to adjust, but it was still to dark to see clearly. "Over here Bakari," Zeke said. He had found the hole in the wall and was looking through it. "Now Mila, what's going on again?"

[kovu42]

Zeke crawled slowly over, trying not to bump into anything else. He could soon feel the slightest change in the air, almost a small breeze. "Good job Zeke, now what is going on here, Mila?"

[NightmareMoon]

"Zeke, remember when I told you about the leader of the hyena pride taking over the other prides? He wanted them all dead. You two were PART of them, but were survivors...." she paused. "He doesn't want survivors." She said. It was hard to say.

[kovu42]

Bakari's memory flashed back to his former days, when he had led one of the large prides across the savannah and the desperate fight against the overwhelming forces and his own flight after watching his brothers being slaughtered. A sense of rage filled him, but he knew that the time for revenge would come. He knew it with a cold sense of satisfaction that filled his blood and strengthened his mind. He now had a tangible enemy, someone to sink his teeth into for that day of horror. "OK then, we need a plan, some way to get out of here. We're doomed unless we take this into our own paws."

[Zeke]

"Mila, you said that you've spied on these guys before. You're the only one who knows how to get out of here." Zeke had remembered their long talk infront of the cave and was relying upon Mila to come up with a plan.

[NightmareMoon]

"There's no way to get out of here while we are in the cave. The only way we are going to be able to make a run for it, is when-" She was cut off, as the cave door opened.

[kovu42]

Bakari shrunk back from the hole, his veins filling with fear. "Zeke, stay back," he whispered as his head started throbbing again. He couldn't see into the other room, but he could smell the other lion. A horrible and dark scent, covered with death. He recoiled at the smell that almost choked him.

[Zeke]

Zeke ignored Bakari and strained his eyes to see what was happening. Following Mila's orders, he stay silent. He saw a large figure walk through the entrance of the cell. From what he could tell, it looked like a large lion.

[NightmareMoon]

Zilo didn't notice the two lions behind him as he walked into the cave. He smiled at Mila.

"Mila, it's time to finish what we started.." he said.

No, not in front of them... Mila thought. She shook her head horizontally. "You're not getting me to do this." She said, in a serious manner.

"Do you have a choice anymore, Mila?" Zilo said. "You did before. You were mine, and that's the way it's going to stay, whether by force or not." He said. He was beginning to grin even wider than before. He walked slowly towards Mila, who was now trapped in the corner.

Mila ran past Zilo to the entrance, but it was closed. There was enough light in the cave to see everything, but it was very dim. She ran to the middle of the cave, but Zilo ran after her. He pounced her, and pinned her like he had done to her before, and began doing what he had done before to her again. This time, he got his wish. Zeke now knew that Mila was a liar as he watched these horrible events occur.
