unforgiven [private]

[Kipekee]

"You can't catch me! You can't catch me! You're not good enough! You're not good enough!" Zeena taunted, zig-zagging across the ice with-- heh, heavenly-- grace. Her claws were extended all the way to make sure she didn't slip and slide, and she was actually enjoying herself.

[Adofo]

Cole used his sand to cover the ice. He managed to grab her and stop her. He stood in front of her.
Cole: GET OUT OF HER!!!! ......Why.....why are you doing this to her?! All she wanted was love from her parents.....Is that so wrong? Yes, she may have made a mistake, but you don't put a death sentence on her head! The only thing she wants............even more than my love...........is the love of her parents.
He was being true and censer.

[Kipekee]

Zeena snorted. "Oh, so my brother didn't tell you? Fine, then I will. Zekyu lied to, insulted, and attempted to destroy the self esteem of her mother and her father. She walked all over their feelings. They removed her memory and never told her what she did wrong as her consequence. She's still grounded. She shouldn't even have you, her cubs, her rank, her pride. She should still be in her den, my brother just let her go. But don't think that he felt bad."

[Adofo]

Cole: ........but how can she be sorry if she can't remember? I'm not trying to sound harsh but.....I know if she got her memory back.....she would never forgive herself for what she did. She'd say she was sorry every day and to everything and anything all day everyday to try to make it up to them. I take responsibility for the trouble I caused for you and your brother and his pride. I'm sorry...I didn't know. I know it may be hard to believe...but she has changed. you're in her body.....look inside her head. She just wants to love her mom and dad again. .....And at least she still does have a mother and father......I never knew mine.....and I can't stand to see her in so much pain from her mom and dad hating her. She just wants to love them.

[Kipekee]

Zeena sighed. "You just don't understand, did you? They disowned her. They want her to feel the pain in a lifetime that they felt the pain in a heartbeat. Do you not understand the word revenge? They will never love her the same way again." She growled. "I can't do anything about it. She did this to herself."
Zekyu was listening. How come I only learn about this now? Before she could ask anything else, Zeena inwardly silenced her.

[Adofo]

Cole: Okay......but.....even if they have disowned her and everything.........can she just apologize? ....Please? I mean....the worst thing that could happen is they just turn away. ......Can you please ask your brother?

[Kipekee]

Zeena jumped out of his reach and took off without a reply. She headed straight back to the Sky Pride, still inside Zekyu's body. The rest of Zavok's clique noticed her and approached.
"Ayy, Zee, you look good in pink!" Said the insane-looking male, Zazz, who was pink himself. "We can be pink buddiesssss!"
"The only thing I want pink are my claws and my horn stripes." Zeena rolled her eyes.
"You're... So little." Said the overfed male, Zomom, who was yellowish orange. He seemed insecure about his size.
"Too little?" Zeena blinked. "I'm perfect the way I am and so are you."
Zomom blushed and turned away, hiding his face.
The youngest of the group, the teen, examined her. He looked kind of depressed most of the time. "Eh, your original body is prettier." He snorted and walked away.
"Thanks for the insult, Zor!" Zeena snarled after him.
"Hush." Said Zavok's elderly mentor. "You have done well, my dear. Come, your adopted brother is expecting you."
She bowed. "Thank you, Master."
Master Zik nodded and let her pass.

She padded into the den, and Zavok turned around, smiling as Zeena hopped out of Zekyu's body and they both transformed back to normal. "You have done well, little sister." The red lion nodded to Zeena, dismissing her and then turning his back on Zekyu. Zeena pranced away, her job well done. Zekyu didn't bother making herself comfortable.
"Dad... Why am I here?" Zekyu asked, and Zavok briefly glanced over his shoulder.
"I'm not your "dad", Zekyu. You are no longer half demon. You have been robbed of your immortality." For the first time, Zekyu saw hurt in her father's eyes. "I'm the one asking questions. So tell me, why can't you be like your sisters?"
He did not just bring up my sisters, Zekyu's mind was screaming. Zephyr and Zara were Zavok's jewels on his crown and Kipekee's precious girls. Zephyr was her mother's favorite too. In other words, Zekyu's older sisters got most of the attention, especially now that their brother was gone.
Zekyu took in a shaky breath. "You doted on them."
"Don't waste oxygen telling me that." Zavok snapped. "Answer the d@mn question."
Zekyu's legs felt weak, but before she could answer, Zavok "helped" her. Notice the sarcasm.
"Your sisters respected us, listened to us, told us the truth as ugly as the truth was sometimes. You never did. You were a nasty child, and those girls were so clean, so... perfect!"
Perfect. Nice way to put it. Zekyu collapsed, blacking out once again. She was 100% unconscious. Zavok purred. A white lioness and a red lioness came into the den. Both of them had horns.
"Zephyren, Zara, my darlings! Your timing could not possibly be more accurate, my loves!" Zavok rose to his paws and nuzzled his daughters.
The twins nuzzled him back. They were here to put Zekyu in the pit— where the prisoners went.

(bc you know i'm all about dat muse)

[Adofo]

Cole finally made it to the den and ran up to his mate.
Cole: ZEKYU!!!
He nuzzled her lovingly. He could tell she was out cold but unharmed.
Cole: Zavok.....I am truly sorry for all the trouble I caused you. I didn't know. But please listen.....I know it's hard to believe.....but she's changed! Every single day all she can ever think of is you and her mother. She wishes that you didn't hate her. More than anything.......even more than being with me.......she wants her family to love her again. Yes...she is scared...but she's more scared of her own father and mother being the ones that will be the ones to put an end to her life. If she knew what all she had done....before you took her memory away........she'd do anything in the world to make just try to make it up to you............even sacrifice her own mate. I'm begging you.....and I know I don't even deserve to beg.....but please.....let her say just how truly sorry she is. Even after everything she's been put through........she still loves you more than anyone else in the universe......including me and our cubs. And......if I have to.........I'll give myself up to you to do whatever you wish...........just as long as she gets to apologize to you. I want to give you my life.....my body.....my entire existence.....just to give her a second chance.....because I love her. .....Please?

[Kipekee]

Zavok turned back to the fire. "Take him too, girls."
The white lioness, the apple of her parents' eyes, Zephyren "Zephyr", nodded. "Of course, daddy."
The red lioness, the runner-up for favorite child and the oldest out of the four siblings giggled. "Anything you say, father!"
Zephyr grabbed Zekyu's scruff and Zara pushed Cole back with her horns. The twins dropped them into the pit with ten or so other prisoners.
The fire and the pearl both trotted away without another word.

They pranced up to their mother, Kipekee. The black lioness was on top of her mate's den, watching the sunset. They sat next to her, but said nothing.

(fyi the pit is too deep+slippery to climb out of)

[Adofo]

Cole: NO! NO!!!!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!?!?!?!? WHY!?!?!?!??! .............Ugh.....no sand down here........and there isn't any close enough to use up there. Zekyu.....baby are you okay?! Please wake up!
