The Tale of King Moto the Mighty (For TheWhistlerify)

[KingMoto]

Moto accepted the paw, in fact, it was nice that someone was cheering him up. In one hour he had lost his father, and potentially lost his mother. And a good friend.
"I hope we do, for mother and Laini's sake".
----
Soon, the lionesses got back. Damoja was there, waiting. He couldn't help but grin widely as he saw only two carcasses,
"Pity that...I can only see two, unless I'm mistaken?". Tulivu frowned at him, but did not say anything. Lumo however was watching the carcasses, he was starved. Damoja motioned for the zebra carcass to be placed with Kumo and Lumo. "There you are, eat up...you've done well today". He then strolled over to the wildebeest carcass, "This is mine. You lot can have whatever is left behind".

Kali then remembered the promise she made to Laini, telling her that she would come back for her one day. She was going to keep that promise, no matter the consequences.
---
Laini was a little nervous about whether they'll have any food left or not. While there were 2 carcasses for 3 lions, Laini and the other lionesses were a bigger group, and she had a feeling that the three weren't going to share the food equally and would eat as much as they wanted. In a pride the members always ate in a way where everybody got the same amount of food, but Damoja and his henchmen probably didn't take that into consideration. There was also the whole 'punishment' thing which Laini was sure was aimed at her and Tulivu, but Damoja didn't mention it since they came back. She wasn't going to remind him of it.

Lumo dug in, he ate hungrily, savoring every mouthful of the meat. Then he noticed the lionesses...he felt a pang of guilt at the back of his neck. He would purposely leave some. Damoja however was eating all the good bits, just leaving the head, lower legs and tail. All bits that were edible, but not the nicest to eat.

When he had his fill, he licked his teeth, being careful not to pierce his tongue.
"Well ladies, dig in", he said with a smirk. The lionesses tried hard not to pull faces at what was left. Some cautiously walked forward, with no reaction from Damoja, they ate the scraps. Tulivu managed to get a leg, she didn't need to try as the lionesses had respect for they're Queen, and that she'd need it.

She walked over to Laini and smiled slightly,
"We can share this". She managed to chew off her half, and used her paw to move it over to her son's friend. Laini was probably the lioness that would give her the most support, as they had both lost loved ones and had the worry of Damoja at the same time.

[TheWhistlerify]

Laini could already see herself getting nothing but a few small bites, as out of the lionesses there, she was the youngest, and she knew that the older lionesses would need the food more, whether they were old and whether they were just older. She couldn't help but smile gratefully at Tulivu as the queen offered to share some of the meat she took with her. "Thank you ma'am." She knew that neither of the lionesses were going to have even half of their fill today, but she also knew that it could be worse Smiling thankfully at the queen once more, she began to eat slowly, but she was keeping an eye to make sure that she wasn't accidentally eating too much. Kumo was just as careless as Damoja, eating as much as he wanted without consideration of the lionesses.

[KingMoto]

Tulivu bowed her head slightly, she was still Queen according to Damoja, so she had to act like one.
"No problem, I think now we'll have to ration more of our food Laini...", she said quitely to her in reply. Damoja however didn't take his eyes off Laini, watching her, he licked his lips and stretch his paws, retracting his claws.

He wouldn't make any sort of moves yet, not with all the other lionesses around. He would send them off and take Laini and Tulivu back to his new den. Lumo was sitting quietly, watching the lionesses eat. He was thinking to himself, and then glanced at Laini, she was really pretty, but of course, he knew what Damoja wanted her for...

[TheWhistlerify]

Laini nodded at what the queen said, knowing that she was more than just right. "I know ma'am." As the time would pass it would get harder for them to manage things out with such low amounts of food. They were probably going to have to hunt more than just when Damoja asked them to if they wanted to not starve to death. With Moto's mother there she felt somewhat safe, having always been in better relations with her compared to the rest of the pride. It's not that the other lionesses hated her, or something, but she wasn't as close to them as she was to Tulivu. Kumo was aalso watching the lionesses. Laini was the one most attractive, but he knew without a doubt that Damoja had his eyes on her so he didn't even look in her direction so to not get him riled up. He would wait untill Damoja relieved him and he would look for a lioness that might wonder off on her own.

[KingMoto]

Moto was staring at the sky, the two lionesses had settled down. He checked on Kali and Marini and put his head oh his crossed paws. Thinking of family, his father and what was to come. Maybe he could train? To become King, maybe help the lionesses to become stronger.
-----
Finally, Damoja dismissed the lionesses. The Queen would know that she stays behind with the King, she was nervous no doubt. She whispered to Laini,
"You wouldn't mind staying...would you?". She doubted the lioness would. Damoja however had his own plans. He got up and stretched out, flashing an evil grin at Laini and Tulivu for a moment before walking over to Kumo and Lumo.

"You might of already guessed, but these two are mine. You can have any other lioness in the Pride. I suggest you work as a double team on one. To ensure success of course. There is a nice looking lioness by the name of Taya in this pride. Now go". Lumo nodded, even though he had no intention of doing anything to any of the lionesses.

[OOC: Taya is the OC I'm using in KK44's public RP]

[TheWhistlerify]

Laini, even though she thought that the grin was only aimed at Tulivu, felt a chill run down her own spine. She looked at Tulivu and whispered, "No, of course not." she managed a slight smile, but she was obviously nervous. Just because she and Tulivu were not a male who could pose Damoja a challenge for his newly claimed throne, that did not mean that he couldn't suddenly lose his temper with them and decide to hurt them.
-----
Kumo also nodded at what Damoja said before walking away with Lumo. Despite Laini being the most attractive lioness in the pride, he had no intention of disobeying Damoja, and hopefully Lumo didn't have any intention to do so either for his own good. "Do you have any idea where did that lioness named Taya go?" he asked slyly, having only heard her name but never seeing Damoja mention which one of the lionesses it was. He only mentioned her when the lioness already left so Kumo had no idea who to look for.

(( No problem ))

[KingMoto]

Lumo shrugged at his brother and huffed,
"I don't know and I don't care....". However, they were approaching the lionesses den, and he didn't have a doubt that she would be there anyway.
---
Damoja watched the twins walk away, he turned around, eyes gleaming with desire and lust of what to come. He approached the two lionesses, Tulivu was watching him closely, her breathing was sharp and quick. Damoja could sense she was scared of course.

"Hmm...what's the matter? You can't be scared of your King...", he said while grinning. There was something about his grin that Tulivu disliked, it was scary. He rubbed his body against Tulivu as she backed off slightly, growling at the large and muscular male, Damoja could see that she wasn't going to be willing, and neither was Laini of course. She was young, and he didn't even know if she had come on to her first heat yet, but he didn't care.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kumo chuckled and rolled his eyes, "What's the matter? Against having some fun as always?" sometimes his brother could be such a boring fun spoiler that Kumo was surprised at himself for still hanging around him sometimes. He noticed the lionesses' den and smirked at the high chances of Taya or any other of the lionesses being there. The only problem he might come across was having more than one lioness inside, but he would just cross that bridge once he got to it.
-----
Laini ignored the huge urge to turn around and run off, not only because of the possible consequences but also because she didn't want to leave Tulivu alone with this monster. He noticed the way her rubbed against the queen and held back a frown. He wouldn't do anything to Tulivu while she was there hopefully. Not that there was anything in Laini's presence, considering her delicate appearance, that might intimidate anyone, but she still hoped that nothing would happen.

(( I'd like to mention that this RP is one of the more interesting ones I've done in a while. I can't help but wish you were on more often but there are things that are more important after all =] ))
