[Private RP for TheMaster017 and I]: Dark Heart of a Rogue

[Adofo]

Adofo: Wh......what happened? Yekize? Yekize! Honey what's wrong!?

[Iri]

Yekize turned her head to gaze at him. "Adofo!" she cried. She jumped at him and embraced him. "Adofo... I'm so sorry... the rogues... they won... Arida and Monifa had to go with them. And..." She let out an audible sob. "And... and Adena went with them too. And remember the deal? Arida and Monifa have to stay there for the rest of their lives." More tears streamed down her face as she turned away.

[Adofo]

Adofo: N-......no......no! that.....they can't......no. NO!
Adofo grabbed his mate and held her tight as tears poured from his eyes.
Adofo: This.....this is all my fault.........I was supposed to protect them.......my girls.........my babies........I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

[Iri]

Yekize shook her head. "It's not your fault," she said. "Truly, it wasn't." As she said that she looked him in the eye, her eyes blazing with honestly. "It's not your fault." She turned her head. Achi, Steel, Smoke, and Blaze looked grief-stricken that their sister had gone with the rogues. Iri, Chiku, and Ua did as well. Chiku bowed her head in grief. Her claws sheathed and unsheathed.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Yes....it IS my fault! YOu don't understand! ......when I was little.....I made a promise to protect the pride......for the rest of my days, NO ONE would bring them harm! ..........And once I make a promise, no matter how impossible or ridiculous I NEVER GO BACK ON IT! .............but this........this is the first one I've ever broken.........and it happened to my girls........

[Iri]

Yekize grew impatient through her grief. She pulled herself from Adofo's grasp and left the cave, her heart still broken. She looked back at Adofo as she walked out. "You don't need to be the hero all the time," she murmured.
At the rogue camp, Mstari was giving Adena a beating. Silent tears of pain streamed down her face. Finally, the thrashing was over and Adena was free to rest. Adena gasped in pain as blood poured down her legs and her sides. She gently turned around and started to lick her wounds. After she finished cleaning them, she laid down on the cold ground and looked up at the stars, remembering her family.

[Jeez, Adofo blames himself for a lot of things. :I]

[Adofo]

(Don't worry! I've already worked out a way for him to stop doing that to himself. He's just going through a rough depression. Like i am)

Adofo: Honey..........I'm sorry! It's just..........a lot of things are going through my head. But this blame is real! If I fought then.....maybe we wouldn't have lost our baby...............I'm sorry. It's just so hard for me........I have NO ONE to relate to! No one understands my true pain. Sure.....I have my family......but you're all lions! I'm a human!!!!! When others see you coming what do they think?! "Oh here comes a lioness!" when others see me coming, here's what they say, " UGH WHAT'S THAT!?!?!" "Oh great! It's that human!" and my favorite......"There's that....thing!"..........you don't know what it's like for me......I may have been raised by lions......but I'll never truly belong...

[Iri]

[What's wrong?]

Yekize bristled. "What do you mean 'I don't know what it's like'? I may have been a lioness in a pride but I never truly belonged there! I was bullied, beaten, I was the center of the jokes and teasing!"

[Adofo]

(the short version.....growing up)

Adofo: Have you ever been rolled down a mountain!? Kicked off a ledge?! MAULED!?!?!?!!!!! TRIED TO BE EATEN!!!!!!!! ...........everywhere where I went I was shunned. They all either picked on me....or tried to kill me..........my family was the only ones that stuck up for me! That protected me! But every time my parents meet up with others from other kingdoms, they were hated too.....because they took me in. Because they decided to raise me.....instead of having me for breakfast.............that's all anyone had ever said. "Why did you save him!? He looks so delicious! You could have just eaten him!!" WELL YOU KNOW WHAT............they were right...........I don't deserve all of this...........there were times I wanted to end it all because......then maybe things would go back to the way they were for my parents.....before they were stuck with me....

[Iri]

[Oh... I'm sorry. I'm not very happy with life either. :c]

Yekize backed away from him. Here he was. "Stop saying that!" she snarled. "You know it's not true! Those prides have berries for brains! But why do you let them get to you?!" She unsheathed her claws angrily. "You act like you're the only one that's suffered! Well, you know what?! You're not! So quit it!" She bared her teeth. "Actually, I have been the target of killers! I have been mauled! Yes, I have been shoved off of a cliff! That's how I nearly died! AND YES, I WAS ATTACKED BY HYENAS AND THEY TRIED TO KILL ME! Stop acting like you're the only one who's different, the only one who's gone through pain and suffering! Now, our daughter is in danger and she might be close to losing her life now!" She turned on her heel and ran off.
