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

Imani woke up from her slumber, feeling the tree she was on shaking below her, and gripped her claws into the trunk. As the bark made a cracking noise, she looked down to see a stampede of warthogs galloping underneath her. "What the...?" She asked herself, seeing all of them running away from a direction. What was making them run away? Warthogs were usually fearless and could easily hold their own, but something was obviously scaring them.

Before she knew it, her blue-purple eyes spotted a hungry, hunting male lion. He had this...look in his eyes. Something wasn't quite right with him. And luckily, he wouldn't sense, see, or smell her-- but it would be hard to hide seeing as how she was sweating from the warm sun of the summer African morning. Sure enough, just like she prayed not to happen, he looked up at the tree letting the pigs waddle away and set his target as her. Oh no, he's one of those who hunger for lioness blood! And I'm next!

Before she had time to finish her thought, she was already knocked out of the tree and running away from the crazed male. He was large, so he was slower than her and it helped because of how fast she was. Her breathing was slow so she wouldn't tire as easily, and kept her strides steady. It was then that she felt her legs trip over each other and she was sent flying across the grass a little ways. She opened her eyes to see the male coming right at her as she widened her eyes. There wasn't enough time for her to move, and she was done for!

The male looked upon and laughed at this new female. He would make sure she would stay there for he had things to say to her. "You there why are you tresspassing here? Don't you know this is the glorious land of Mufalfa?" He snarled to let the lioness know who was boss. He looked at her then looked away knowing her attractiveness would not phase him. "You will come with me and you will tell me why you are here on the way there. If I am satisfied you may live."

He laughed showing that he ahd a sense of humor but stopped immediately to show her that she was serious. "You see my princess I do not allow male lions on here and I would kill them immediately. Females however I let live so they may 'entertain' me. If I am amused I will let them go. If not well...they do not live past the morning I saw them. You will come to my place and 'entertain me.' If I am amused then you are free to leave." He motioned to her to keep moving so that they may go.

He kept silent. Distant images of the past came through him. Being born to a litter of cubs...Eating the scrumptious antelope...His mother's love...Ah it was not healthy to dwell on those things. It only made life more harder. All he needed to remember was how to survive out here. They finally came to the den. "Well my princess here is your chance to entertain me." He shoved her into the grass and slashed her without remorse. "You will start now. If I am not amused you will know what will happen my little princess." He laughed loud at that.

(Gotta go be back later.)

@VitanisMate: She was silent the whole way through, and her face showed no fear. Even though her facial features were blank and her strides were normal, her heart was pounding against her chest and she was feeling her paws sweat. Upon entering the den, she let out a cry of surprise when she was pushed and slashed. She got to her paws and shook her head, ridding her thoughts of the sting on her from the blow and looked at the male.

She had two options, and she was considering them both very highly while he waited. But she decided to push one of them behind her for later if needed and stuck with her first thought. "Well, what is it you mean by 'entertain?'" she questioned, almost like a cub. She sat down and looked at the male with a strange name she couldn't quite remember and waited for his reply. But if he struck her again, she was outta there.

Ra awoke. She had been sleeping in the same tree as her sister, and it had been a very, vert long time since she had awoken and found Imani already gone. "Imani?" Ra's melodious voice said, "Where are you?" she said, sounding more like a mother than a sister. Ra jumped from the tree, and gracefully landed on all fours. "Imani?" she said looking around. "Come on sis, this isn't funny" Ra said sounding worried. As she was looking she noticed tracks, a stampeed. How did I sleep through that? she thought noticing one particular set of tracks.

"Imani!" Ra quietly exclaimed following the tracks. As she went on she noticed another pair of lion prints, bigger than her sisters. "Ohh, Dear" she said quickening her pace until both tracks met and stopped. "Did she..." Ra asked aloud, but seeing no signs of battle she dismissed the idea. "Sis what have you got yourself into this time?" she said. Noticing the tracks went off on a comeatly different route. "Dont worry sis, I'm coming" she said sighing slightly as she ran following the tracks.

The tracks went on a long way, into a cave. As Ra approached she heard voices faintly from inside. Well my princess here is your chance to entertain me...You will start now. If I am not amused you will know what will happen my little princess. came a booming graverly male voice. "Ohh gods No!" Ra said quietly as to not alert the male. However her sister bought her some more time. Well, what is it you mean by 'entertain?' her sister asked. "Trust you sis" Ra said quietly as she got into a pouncing position, hidden by the long grass at the mouth of the cave, making sure she was down wind. If he even trust it, he'll wish he didn't Ra thought angrily

Mufalfa looked at her and laughed. "My little princess you really should stop hurting yourself. It is bad for your health." He looked down at her and saw a cub-like face on. He shrugged and said to, "STOP MAKING THAT FACE!" He yelled so loud the jungle was quiet for several minutes.He lost control and felt control coming abck to him. He looked at her again laughing at her face glad that he hurt her feelings. "You know princess I enjoyed that."

"Sorry princess it is just you remind me of someone...Wait sorry! Sorry! Hah! You should be sorry!" He laughed again looking at the new lioness. "What is your name and what brought you here." He patiently sat on the ground but he knew tricks to escape him. It was just a ruse to make the lioness think he was relaxing. "What do you think I mean by entertain?" He smiled and laughed. He saw that the female was wondering and let her wonder what he meant.

Tanga was all alone as he wandered the empty grasslands. His gold-furred head bowed and the black tuft at the end of his tail dragging into the dirt as he walked with no sense of direction or purpose. He really was not even watching where he was going, completely lost in his own thoughts.

He was wandering because he wanted something to do, but the mild activity did nothing to hold back the crushing sense of lonliness that had built up inside his heart. Normally the solitude did not phase him...after all he had been alone for nearly half his life, and had spent nearly his entire life as a rogue. But if he was so used to being the only lion for miles around, then why did he feel so lonely right now?

The answer was simple: He had found a pride. He had found a pride that had taken him in and accepted him...or at least he thought he had. His unique appearance, his golden fur clashing with his black mane and silver belly, made him seem a bit wierd to the pride that had taken him in, and the reputation rogues tended to have did not help, either. And because he was rather shy, he found himself part of a pride, but in a very distant way. He had no-one who would talk with him, or even be in his presence for more than fleeting moments, and his shyness and lack of social skills made it nearly impossible for him to initiate a conversation with anyone.

So, in the past few days, he had taken to simply wandering aimlessly, sometimes even going beyond the borders of his new home, not really caring. He was desperate for another lion to interact with, but every time he tried to approach someone from his new pride, his courage eventually failed him. His wanderings allowed him to think about his situation, among other things, while he prayed to the Kings above for someone he could to...just a small friend to help ease his lonliness.

@VitanisMate: Imani rose her eyebrow and listened to the male talk. Was he a basket case or what? This guy's nuts! He's totally insane, she thought.

When she layed eyes on her sister, she smiled and walked over to her. "Ra!" She purred and rubbed her pelt on her sister's, soon going behind the sister and hiding herself a little.
==========================
@AustralianChaos: [Could you please make your starter go along with my starter? None the less, awesome writing skills ]

[Nakisisa]

"Imani" Ra purred back, rubbing pelts with each other. "Dont ever do that to me again." she said quietly as Imani got behind her, "If I attack you stay, Ok." Ra said looking back at her sister, "If I fall, leave me, and run" Ra said turning he attention back to the male lion in the cave. He didn't look too tough. But looks could be deceptive.

Mufalfa came forward and said, "Now princess what are you doing out here by yourself? Where is your mate? Your pride? Come on answer me if you want to live past today!" He looked away turning to the bushes ahead. He thought he saw something.

It must have been a trick in the light. Yes that was it. He knelt down to the lioness and pushed her again. "No sudden moves my feline friend. You see it seems you are just my punching bag today." Suddenly he felt like simething was wrong. Was this pity he was feeling? Remorse? No it was neither and he made sure of it. He pushed her down again and laughed.

He then said to the lioness. "You know I might keep you alive after all because it seems I am being entertained. He laughed at this thought stretching out again making the lioness think he posed no threat to her. He sighed then got up again. "So do you want some food?" He pointed to the fresh warthog he killed and said. "It is yours as a reward for entertaining me." He reminded himself to never say anything nice again to that female. He got up again obviously out of his head and having mood swings. "You are to stay down do you hear ME!?"

He then saw something moving in the grass. He knew that was no imagination now. He grabbed the lioness immediately and held a claw to her throat. "Whoever is there get out or I will kill her at once! I will make sure you will see her guts spread all over the savannah while I eat them myself! Get out of there!" He threw the lioness down and said, "Or shall you watch me beat her to death?" He smiled and laughed at his own twisted mind.

@VitanisMate: Imani was never one to have a quick temper...but he pushed his luck. She was blessed with extremely sharp teeth at birth, so she put them to work and let them gouge into his paw on her body. Once he was off and crying in pain, she kicked her back legs into his snout.

The dark lioness pushed her sister's behind and yelled, "come on!" Making sure her sister was behind her, she picked up her pace to the medium speed and ran off.
