Territory Terror

(Ooh. Exciting.)

Haramu woke, snuggling Adofo's hoodie. He shook his head and looked down at it in his paws before realizing Adofo was missing. He then stumbled to his paws and searched the cave for him before padding out, ears pricked. Normally if he was awake before the others, he was out on pride rock, or with the ruins of the plane. But adofo had taken him away from there. Where was he?
"Dad?" he called softly.

[Adofo]

Adofo was surrounded by Leopards. Him and Haramu's birth parents were pinned to the ground.
Leopard: Call him.
Adofo: Ha-....Haramu.

Upon seeing them, the fur on his back stood on end and he froze momentarily, staring at them. Adofo's call was enough to shake him from it, though. And he shook his head to snap out of it.
"Wh-what are you doing to him?" His attention flicked to his parents and his gaze hardened with hatred.

[Adofo]

Leopard: Listen, I never liked you but we are going to give you two choices, the first you choose this....thing, we spare his and your life! But, we kill your real parents! The second choice is save your parents and YOU kill the human! But the catch, you have to eat him while he's still alive and kicking!

Haramu stared at them, feeling his heartbeat increase. He swallowed and bared his teeth, walking stiffly towards Adofo. He stopped beside him and lowered his head to his, close enough for the leopards not to see his face soften.
"Dad, what do I do?" He glanced towards his parents. He was angry with them and would never forgive them for what they did. But they didn't deserve to die. And there was no way he was going to kill Adofo. He looked back at him, desperate for answers.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Son......just do it. Save them. I know you're still angry with them but i also know that you still love them. So......just do me a favor. Just remember.......daddy loves you! And I always will!

[NukasMomentofGlory]

Haramu backed away, ears lowering.
"No..." He turned his head to the leopards, his gaze shifting between Adofo and his parents. "No! You can't do this!" He crouched down, bunching his muscles. "You made me feel like the biggest mistake in the world. I'll never forgive you." His gaze rested on his parents. "But you don't deserve to die." He leaped at the leopards pinning them, hooking his claws into the shoulders of one and pulling it off of them. He fell, bringing the big cat down with him and slashed at it.

[Adofo]

The leopard kicked him off.
Leopard: HOW DARE YOU YOU PILE OF FILTH!!!! *SLASH* NEVER TOUCH ME!!!1 ALL YOU ARE IS AN ABOMINATION!!! *SLASH* NO ONE COULD EVER LOVE YOU!!!! *SLASH* NO ONE COULD EVER WANT YOU!!!!! *SLASH* ALL YOU ARE IS A BIG, GIANT MISTAKE!!!!!!!!
Adofo: No one.....talks that way....about. My. SON!!!!!!!!!
Adofo leaps up and throws the leopards off him and charges at the one beating up Haramu. All the other leopards step in but Adofo beats them around with no problem. They all run away.
Adofo: Not so fast!
Adofo follows the leopards to a dead end.
Adofo: No one hurts my little boy!
The leopards cower in the corner.
Mother: Son! Are you okay?!
Father: Son we're.....we're so sorry....
Mother: Son I never wanted to have to give you up.....I regret my decision every second of my life ever since it happened! We are so sorry!
Father: And I know I wasn't there enough for you but.....that's going to change!
Mother: Please son, come with us! We'll find our own place to live and we'll be a family again! A real family! Please!

Haramu pushed himself up to his paws, trembling with the effort, and looked at Adofo.
"Leave them. They're not worth it." He turned towards his parents, lowering his head slightly. He shook it. "No. You had your chance. I've found Adofo." He looked back towards him. "And I'm staying with him. But now you know what to do with your next cubs. Don't let them be taken away." He looked down at his paws. "I'm sorry."

[Adofo]

Mother: Is.....is that what you really want? You......really love him that much?
