[PRIVATE] Taming the Lioness's Heart

[SnowyCheetah]

Sorry for the mistake. Grunge said, trying not to offend Adeola. The Pridelands are this way. he said, beginning to walk in the direction of the plentiful lands, his paws squishing the mud beneath them. A beautiful lioness such as yourself must have a name. If I may ask, what is yours? My name is... Grunge.

@SnowyCheetah: Adeola narrowed her eyes at the male as they walked. She was trying her best not to shiver every time the mud erupted through the spaces in her paws and out over her toes. From narrowing her eyes, she looked forward and set her hazel eyes to look ahead of her. "Adeola" she replied. This was interesting. Most of the lions who wanted to mate with her didn't even ask for her name first.

"Adeola!" A voice chirped through the thick dark of the Outlands. The lioness lifted her head up and looked over what had been calling her name, as she saw a similar gold older cub, almost adult female run her way, Malaika.

"Crud..." she mumbled, letting her head drop and sighed out before she looked her sister in her matching hazels. "Please tell me dad isn't with you" she pleaded her sister.

"Adeola!" She turned her head to the left, and saw the gold and dark brown lion, Tendai. Her father. He let out a roar when she saw the shady male, and stared him down.

"Father, cool it" Adeola growled, making her father loosen up with his threatening bellow in his throat.

[SnowyCheetah]

Grunge did his best to look more respectable, puffing out his chest and looking respectfully at Adeola's father. Hello, sir, can I help you? was the best thing he could think to say with the huge lion staring him down. My name is Grunge. We've all got to leave here immediately before my former pride arrives to kill us all.

@SnowyCheetah: "Getting my daughter involved in your death games? Boy, I outta take you back and give you what for" Tendai snarled, advancing to the stranger.

"Father, no!" Adeola growled, pushing her father back. "He saved Malaika and I" she shut her mouth the moment she said that, revealing her sister was in this as well. Malaika sighed out, knowing she was in just as much trouble as Adeola was now.

"You were both with this male?"

"Daddy, please, don't--" Malaika begged, coming close to him with her ears laid back.

"We will talk about this back at the den. With me, now" he ordered. Malaika looked at Adeola and Adeola looked back as they saw their father walk away. Adeola walked away with her father close at foot and turned her head to the male in thanks. She didn't know if he would follow or not.

Once she was with the other lioness, she was starting to be scare, she didn't know who were those lioness or if she could trust them, Kamy just try to walk to Adeola and hide behine her, then she say "who are they? I'm getting scare"

Kujasuri saw the female kill the antelope. No! This one belongs to me! Before he could do anything though he saw the female kill the antelope. He cursed now knowing he would have to wait to the next hunt. Another female I will have to bring down to size. He laughed thinking the best way to choke her. He saw the father come up and got rid of the smile on his face at once.

The father came over and tried to encourage him. You fool I will be hunting alright and that hunt will include lion blood in it as well. He couldn't help himself and snickered. He looked at the father. That big, stupid oaf thinking I cannot handle myself. He will find I will handle myself very fine indeed.

"So much for teamwork huh? I took no part in the hunt. Perhaps it would be better if I caught game by myself. I could do my share among the pride hmm considering no one wants me around."

Mzuri looked at Adeola and said to her, "Really I mean why else would everyone leave me? I mean something must be wrong with me." She wondered if what she said was really true. It must be true! Adeola is the only one that cares for me and even she knows I am lying. She started to remember other parts of her past like her own sisters being slaughtered. It was horrible. She remembered the raids and how her own father killed his children. She remembered too much and buried it down deep inside her so she would forget the horrible nightmares of her cubhood.

She looked at Adeola and noticed her looking at her scratch on her head. I don't think she believes me. That is why she keeps looking at it. She tried to think of something and then said and emphasized, "They were really sharp rocks okay?" She looked at Adeola and said, "You know I hate to be a burden but I am kinda hungry. Can we go eat please?" She ran around waiting for Adeola's answer.

Still fully intending to move to the Pridelands, Grunge followed but from a distance and to the side, to avoid the other male noticing him. Once in the Pridelands, what could the male do to make him leave? Not understanding why the male was so paranoid about him, he thought hard about that as he ventured, now using Adeola and her family as a guide to the Pridelands.

Naki woke "Oops" he mumbled telling himself off for not being more attentive, he got down from the tree's where he was hiding and looked around, not realising he still smelled like a rouge, and probably would be attacked, he yawned and stretched "Hello" he shouted

[oXButterflyKissesXo]

@Nakisisa: Neobi walked across the land his small pride owned. Next to the royal prides, they had the second largest span of land to walk one freely. As he stepped forward, his nose picked up a scent that she was not familiar with and he pulled his head from the ground to look around him. Once he heard the loud 'hello' broadcasted by a male, he turned his head to a stranger male and paused. He wasn't afraid that the male would attack him, because he was always too big for them to think about attacking. He was, on the other hand, afraid he would attack his siblings or parents. "Hi...? Uhm, who might you be?"
============================================
@SnowyCheetah: Once they had arrived, that was when Adeola brought her head up look over the den and then back at her father who was looking down at her with a cross expression. She wasn't feeling bad about being in trouble but she was trying to avoid being harassed any more by her father about every move she made. "You know better than to be in the Outlands. You could have been killed" her father's voice boomed.

"But I wasn't" she snapped back, walking away.

"Adeola--" Tendai started, but Zuri got in front of him and looked up at her mate. She loved him, but she knew his parenting style had to be taken into consideration.

"Let her go for a while" she spoke, looking over to her daughter who had picked up pace to speed away from the scene at the den to where the lions usually sunbathed. She hadn't noticed she passed Grunge, and just kept running until she came to a stop where the sun cascaded down fully and wrapped her body in its sunny arms.
=============================================
@VitanisMate: "Sure thing" she replied to the cub. They made their way to where the pride had went to catch their food. When she walked in on the scene, she saw Afolabi had finished off the carcass. The future leader sighed out and looked over to the herd of antelope, still around but shaken a little from the recent attack. Looking down at the cub, she smiled, "stay here".

She jogged down past Kujasuri and crouched her body down to the grass, where she out of no where, leaped out of hiding and charged the animals. They cried and started to run, but she picked up speed and took one down without much effort. Or at least, that's what she led on. Her fangs sunk into the neck of the antelope and pulled it with her back to the cub and the male, dropping it down for them. She twitched her ears and looked down to her cub, "dig in, Mzari". She then looked up at Kujasuri, "you too". Her final words hung in the air above her head, she realized she was being nice as she could be to this guy. Adeola started to eat the leg of the creature she had killed.
=============================================
@SilverSimba01: "They're going to make you feel better, don't worry" she tried her best to reassure the cub, and lightly pushed her back to the other females with her paw. The lionesses took her once more and made sure to be gentle and careful with every paw they touched Kamy with.

Soon enough, Kamy had a wrapped leave around her paw, tight and secure. Adeola smiled; she knew the girls would take good care of the cub.

[Nakisisa]

"Hi...? Uhm, who might you be?"
Naki was slightly startled but seeing the male his composure returned "I may ask you the same thing" he said sniffing the air.
