"Good morning, Aldeola!" Her friends called out. Her smile beamed over to them like the morning sun did on her burnt sad colored pelt. It was so warm out, and she loved the weather. Of course, compared to the weather of non-stop rains in Africa that they had been getting, this was a large step up and she loved it. Surely, she would not be taken as anything less than a lioness to take the sun in as much as she could.

"Ooh, look over there" one of the girls said, as all the lionesses called out, making the others look over past Adeola. Her own hazel eyes peered over to where the lionesses were gawking, and she spotted a pride of male lions.

"Nice view" one giggled, making them all except for Adeola giggle. The males obviously heard the giggle, as the lazy cats got up from their lounging around position and started to walk over to the love-struck females. They were like cats on catnip; rolling around the grass, waving their paws in the air, and letting out small growls of happiness. Adeola, would not be one of those females to do that...any more, at least.

"Excuse me", a light growl came from her voice as she hopped down from the rock and started walking towards the water hole.

"Adeola?"

She turned her head to look over her shoulder and let a fake smile cross her face, "I just have to cool down for a little. I'll catch up with you all later" she excused herself. The lioness knew it was probably one of the worst explanations for an excuse she had ever come up with, but she wanted to spend some time away from the lions and obnoxious lionesses that were acting too smitten for her liking.

When she reached the water hole, she let out a sigh and watched her shivering reflection thanks to the wind coming off the water and rippling her. She let out a sigh and started to lay her body down. "And that was the best place to get sun..." she mumbled, putting her head on her paws crossed over the other and gave a dull expression to the tree across from the small body of water.

a lionesss call Kamy, was looking what was happening and then they ask to the other lioness
"What is she doing this time?"

[VitanisMate]

Mzuri saw Adeola and came closer to her. A very young cub female she was curious if the adult female would play with her. While she was in the forest she saw a dragonfly and started to play with it but in her playing she made a noise. She started coming closer until she was just behind Adeola and decided if she wanted to meet the adult female.

Well what if this female does not like me? What if she just sends me away like the rest of the females and males I have come to know?... She started sobbing not wanting to remember her darker past. However, she eventually composed herself and came forward. "Hello my name is Mzuri what is yours?"

She then came forward but immediately collapsed in front of her not noticing her wounds she carried around. All that was heard was her whispering of "Mom I miss you so much," before she went unconcious. Everything remained quiet for a few moments...

===

Kujasiri walked what seemed like forever in the desert. He remembered his life before. Lions charging, lionesses crying cubs dying. He sobbed for a second but then said, "Forget it. Best to leave the past behind. No one cares about me anyway. Not anyone from my pride." He continued muttering, "Why do the Great Kinds continue to taunt me? Do they take fun in my torment?"

He then stopped and then said, "Why am I talking to myself. I mean whatever. I am always a loner. Always was and always will." He then continued and made his way to a savannah. He thought to himself, Perhaps there is a foolish pride who will invite me in and I will make fools of.

The young adolescent lion walked forward reminiscing his dirty deed ahead. He smiled and braced himself for what he was about to do. He heard voices telling him not to do it but he silenced them.

Grunge was in quite a different situation than the sunny one where Adeola was. Somewhere far-off, he was making yet another attempt to escape his dark pride, which had caused him stress and depression to the point where he cut his wrists regularly. Keeping his head hidden inside his black hood, he walked as quickly as he could through the deep mud, which stuck his paws to the ground and made it hard to walk. This time, he was not going to fail in his escape. Nothing would stop him. Besides, he'd be even more miserable than ever before if he was caught. This time, he'd smacked the pride leader across his muzzle and left gashes, muttering "Go to hell." No telling what would be done to the depressed lion if he ended up back there. Muddy paws and cut wrists, he did his best to widen the gap between himself and his former pride.

mean while, Kamy was looking at the rest of the land while she was thinking "I'm getting boring, I want to so something fun", then she see Adeola that was still in the waterhole and ask herself
"I wonder if she wants to play with me?", so she decide to go where she was, once she was closer to the waterhole, she decide to make her poncing pose, once ready, she jumps to Adeola just saying "RAWR!!!!"

The lioness looked from Kamy to where Adeona dissapeared off to. "Off to where she can be alone and away from the males like usual". The lionesses voice was bored but her eyes lit up when she saw the males come over to her.

The other females around Kamy started to go gaga over the numerous lion whovwere swarming around them. Of course the men were all sizing up which ones they would want to mate with first. They were so obvious.

Adeola turned her head to look down at the cub, surprised to see a baby like her come close to her like that. Most of the cubs in the Pridelands were ones to stay away from her from how she presented herself a lot of the time. It was refreshing. "Oh my name is..." she paused when she saw the wounds on the female cub.

Before she hit the ground, the lioness caught the small creature in her paw and listened to her silent plea for her mother. "Mother...?" She pondered aloud. No time for wondering what she was saying, Adeola thought to herself. Bringing the cub to her mouth still on her paw, the female took the extra fur on the back of the girl's neck in her mouth and walked away from the water hole to the shade of her family's den.

Out came her brother, Neobi, looking over to his older sister and he trotted over to see a cub in her mouth. He knew his sister wasn't one for children normally, and she had no cubs herself, so he was perplexed. "Adeola...?"

"Not right now, Neobi" she told him, striding forward into the shaded den. Her eyes glanced over the small space where they all slept, seeing neither her parents, sister, or brother in there. She sighed out and shrugged walking over to her normal spot, and placed the cub on her area while she waited for the little child to wake up.

------------------------------

Adeola perked her head to sense something coming close to her. Since it was something she didn't know what was, she drew her ears back and her tail started slapping the ground. Her white fangs were gleaming in the sun and her claws unsheathed themselves to show off to anyone who dared to challenge her. Readying herself, she sucked in her gut to the slimest she would look.

Out of the corner of her hazel orbs, her younger brother, Afolabi walked out and looked her over. "What's with you?" He asked, totally oblivious to what she was bracing herself for. What was the point in keeping him around? He was pretty much useless during battle, and she knew she would be much better off having her sister Malaika or her brother Neobi here. Malaika didn't look like a warrior, but she could easily take down her fair share of males and any other challengers. Neobi...he was just large, and no one went after him because of it. But the few odd people who did look past it, they would be sorry they didn't run when they had the chance.

"Leave" she ordered him.

The oldest brother of the pride didn't like this as he looked down at her with a glare, "where do you get off--". He was silenced once she looked at him with a if-you-don't-get-out-of-here-I-will-not-be-responsible-for-your-funeral look. The light lion knew best to get out her fur when she gave him that look, and he sped off back to the den, leaving his oldest sister there to defend herself. Little did even she know, her father was in the side watching her and making sure she was alright.

"Adeola, come on let's play!" Malaika said all of a sudden, behind her eldest sister. The burnt colored female gasped in surprise and looked to see her happy, hopping sister.

"Malaika, do you mind--"

"You're it! On your mark, get set, GO!" She said all in one breath, and leaped away. Adeola had no intention of going after her little sister, and just watched her run off. As she was about to walk away, she landed her hazels on the direction of her sister, realizing she was running off into the direction to where she was instructed by Tendai, their father, not to go. Ever.

"Malaika!" She called out, running through the shallow water and darting past and weaving through trees, rocks, and other animals to get to her sister. Her sister of course, having more energy as she was still almost a cub at the least was overwhelming for the young adult lioness. Her breath was so ragged that she didn't even have enough energy to call to her sister once more to get her to stop.

They had already passed the line of boundaries between the pridelands and the outlands, where she knew she would be in deep lion poop if she didn't get her sister and get out before Tendai noticed. She slowed her pace to get her breath back, looking around for her sister. If she called out for her younger sibling, she was afraid she would bring attention to herself. And she knew very well that she was not that of an outlander, so she would stick out like a sore thumb if they found her. Like the future leader like she was expected to be, she kept her head high and her strides steady and mighty, keeping her eyes pealed for Malaika.

Adeola turned her head around to look at the black and white spotted female. "Kamy," she smiled lightly, "what are you doing?". She came from her sitting position to her four paws and looked over with her hazel orbs at the friend who usually tanned with her and the lionesses.

[VitanisMate]

Mzuri stayed passed out until she woke up in a strange den. She was lost and scared at her current predicament. She thought to herself, Oh now I have been left again by that adult lioness just like all the others. Why does no one care for me?... She looked away sad, not knowing her fate or the fate of the adult lioness.

She looked at at the land ahead not knowing where she was, but wherever she was it was pretty. Ah whatever if no one cares for me I guess I will have to be alone for a change, she thought. She wondered what this new land was but before she could explore it she felt her wounds still and decided to rest. She wondered what secrets this land could hold. She started to get excited again. She waited to see if there were any lions around.

"Well I might as well rest for the time being and then start to see where I am. In fact it could be fun," and she started to smile. She continued to lay there, tired and bruised, not knowing if there was even anyone here.

She wondered if there was any cubs to play with. She started to remember cubs in her old pride but got rid of that memory immediately. She then remembered how her mother cared nothing for her and her father left immediately after she was born. It was just too horrible to remember and she buried it deep down.

Kujasiri came forward and saw an adult female lion playing with a cub. "Hello I humbly ask that I come to the pride if that is no trouble." He thought to himself, Wow these buffoons should be easy to con. A female and a cub, simple. He then thought to himself of his plan. He decided that he would try to con these lions by getting close to them maybe even saving the female or cub's life.

He looked at the cub and sighed. He thought to himself, Oh man I hate cubs. They are so annoying, tedious, they take up your time, and they smell. He was thinking about saying something mean to this cub but thought better of it. The last thing he needed was to be kicked out of the pride by saying something to the cub. However the more the cub played the more annoying she was. He just couldn't take it any longer. He tried to take his mind off of it still waiting for the feamle to answer. But eventually he could just not hel himself and smiled sinisterly. He just could not wait for this. He was divided on what to say but said it anyway.

"Hey little pipsqeuk shut up!"

He laughed but then realized what he did. "Uh sorry about that. Plaese ignore me. I am just not good around kids." He cursed knowing that his chances now of getting into the pride were slim. He tried to bow and said, "I promise to check my behavior from now on. I just do not like cubs like I said." He looked back at the cub and begrudgingly said, "Sorry cubby for my behavior." He wanted to make fools of them but not right now. He needed a one-way ticket into the pride.
