(Private) NM and Zeke's RP!

[NightmareMoon]

"Sure.." Mila said quickly, not really paying attention. She would follow him anyways, so it didn't matter much to her where they were going. Mila snapped back into reality. "Lead the way" she said.

[Zeke]

"Sure thing," Zeke said as he began at a slow jog along the dried mud of the outlands. Something felt different than the last time he went out to get food. There was a strange feeling in the lions stomach as he ran, as though he was being watched. He kept looking over towards the pridelands and began to pick up a faster pace towards the unexplored area in front of him.

[NightmareMoon]

Mila followed Zeke as he ran, to whereever it was he was going. As the two ran, Mila noticed that Zeke kept looking behind him. What's up with him? Mila thought as she watched Zeke look back, for what seemed like the 50th time. Mila said nothing, and followed Zeke.

[Zeke]

As he ran, Zeke began to notice a change in the terrain; the trees began to have leaves, there were small patches of brush scattered amongst the ground, and there wasn't the lingering smell of rotting flesh that was constant in the outlands. All of this change, but he still felt uncomfortable. With one quick move, he hurled himself around 180 degrees and crouched low. "Mila! We're being followed," He growled, watching the spot ahead of him which was now high in grass.

[NightmareMoon]

"What?" Mila said as she quickly ran over to Zeke. She crouched next to him, and whispered. "Why would someone be following us?" She asked as she scouted the area for any signs of life. She couldn't detect any at the moment. Apparently the follower's plans weren't relying on getting caught in the act.

[Zeke]

"Wait, it stopped," He said, ignoring what Mila just said. He strained his ears to hear any movement, but could hear none. There was no movement in front of him and he had hardly any sense of smell, yet he was sure something was there. He began to creep forward, staying low to the ground and keeping his head up and eyes alert for signs of movement.

[NightmareMoon]

Mila looked over at Zeke to see him fully concentrated on finding his follower. She didn't want to mess anything up, so she decided to stay hidden, crouched low. She waited and watched as Zeke crawled forward, determined to find something.

[Zeke]

Zeke caught a slight rustle ahead of him and pounced, catching another lion's shoulders and pinning him to the ground. He looked down at the muzzle of the lion under him and recognized a familiar face. "You!" He snarled, glaring down at the lion. "What are you doing here? Why did you follow us?"

[NightmareMoon]

Taro was caught off guard when he was pounced and pinned to the ground. He looked up to see Zeke. Zeke asked him something, and Taro responded quickly. "I don't know..." He muttered, not really sure of what he was doing.

Mila watched as Zeke jumped onto another lion. When he pinned him, she was taken back. Who would follow us....? And why? she thought as Zeke pinned the unknown lion. She was also surprised to hear that Zeke had known this lion, when he spoke. She looked at the unknown lion in confusion, not really sure what was going on.

[Zeke]

Zeke found Taro's answer very unconvincing and began to increase his pressure on the lion. "Well, is there any reason I should let you live?" He asked, slowly piercing his claws into Taro's shoulder. He felt no sympathy toward Taro's savage pride, especially after what they had done to his.
