[Private] Songo and Sirom - A Sweet Dream

[CheetahCat]

With the morning sun slowly rising up over the horizon, Sirom wasn't aware that Songo took off in the direction where Viku was presumed to be. After a few minutes went by, Sirom opened up his innocent eyes and glanced around to acknowledge that Songo was nowhere to be found. A low gasp escaped his muzzle by this point and he immediately stood up on all fours, padding out of the den to see if she was taking a sip at the waterhole. Fixating his eyes at the waterhole, Sirom had a gut feeling that she wasn't going to be there and to his consternation, Songo was nowhere to be found. Consternation and fear were settling in as Sirom briskly padded off in the direction where he can smell Songo's distant scent.

"Songo... Where did you go?" Sirom thought, padding along quickly as his fore paws knocked away some thick bushes that were in the way. He was making progress now as the exhilarating scent was becoming stronger. Finally knocking away a few more bushes and twigs, Sirom came to a clearing and spotted Songo on her side injured.

"Songo! What hap-" Sirom's voice suddenly trailed off as his auburn colored eyes spotted the strange lion they encountered yesterday.

Viku, who was already present made his way out of hiding and pasted a sinister smile across those ebony muzzle lips. He eyed down at the pathetic Songo, shaking his head a few times in abhorrence.

"Songo dear, why so shaken? Is it because I've finally found you and you're helpless? You should consider yourself lucky right now since this chump of a lion showed up." Viku finished, glaring over to Sirom who was standing in front of Songo. Viku's intensity was gradually rising within him as his keen like claws unsheathed from his fore paws. He waited a very long time for this moment and he wasn't going to allow a push over lion like this one decimate his plans. The thought of splitting these two seemed a bit impossible until a bright idea popped in Viku's mind.

"Ah, Songo, are you in love with this lion? What is it you see in him anyway? Don't you want a better lion? A much stronger, boisterous and attractive one such as myself?" Viku finished and chuckled softly, leisurely making his way towards the two lions before stopping a few feet away. Viku knew it was going to be quite tough to try and separate these two but having Songo incapacitated made things a little easier. Controlling his actions and composure, the immoral lion took a seat and glanced down to Songo who was terrified.

"Have you told Sirom about what happened in the past Songo? If not, you better tell him now. Tell him what your future is suppose to be. I bet he'll be quite surprised." Viku said serenely with a chuckle, fixating his lemon colored eyes on the other male lion.

[Songo]

Songo watched as Viku approached her and she let out a deep growl unaware that Sirom was close by, “You...what are you doing here?? And alone…looks like you lead the pride to their death.” she said with a quick snap. She stood to her paws and her blue eyes narrowed as Viku got closer, “Helpless…don’t be silly. I’m who you want, so leave Sirom go.” she said in soft tone reclining back to her hinds. She noticed Sirom coming closer to her and she glanced back at him, sadness flickered through her blue eyes.

Songo watched Viku recline back as he boasted about himself, “Your pathetic Viku..always was and always will be. You’ll never be a king in my eyes.” She said growling. She watched Viku warily as her ears flattened back towards her skull as he spoke more. “Sirom..loves me for me…” she whispered.

Songo stood up to her paws and her claws scratched the earth beneath her as she stepped towards Viku angerily, “Dammit Viku, what do you want!?” she roared. She lifted her claws infront of her face and flashed them , "Have you come to finish what your pathetic minons couldnt?" she added sarcastically.

Her blue eyes looked at Sirom and she looked away hearing Viku call her out, “I’m a princess…” she muttered and turned away from Sirom. “That isn’t me anymore..i’ve left that life behind me.” She turned back to Viku, "But you! Your a murder.."

[CheetahCat]

Sirom remained stationary where he was sitting, listening on in to what Songo and Viku were talking about. At first he wasn't sure what subject they tried to cover until he heard about Songo's past life as a princess. Almost immediately, Sirom's fuzzy brown ears perked up from those words and wondered how much is still unrevealed of Songo's life. The young lion wasn't quite sure what to make of this as glanced over to Viku who was glaring at him with those sandy, golden colored eyes. Sirom can easily tell Viku isn't a affable lion by any means and with their distance drawing short, things may get abhorrent.

"Yes Viku, Songo and I really do love each other and if you try to do anything stupid, it's going to backfire on you greatly." Sirom stated callously, eying Viku with determination of taking him down when the signs call for it.

Sirom padded over in front of Songo and made sure she was well guarded by his physical mass. A low growl emanated from Sirom's throat as he took notice of Viku closing the distance between the two.

Viku payed attention to what Songo was saying. A sinister smile formed around his ebony muzzle lips as he gave a small shake with his head.

"Pathetic you say Songo? Who was the one who ran away when your loved ones needed you the most?" Viku stated indignantly, glancing over to Sirom who was padding in front of Songo which made an attempt attack beyond the bounds of possibility. No matter, Viku had better plans to unleash and when he noticed a small waterhole behind them, he knew they were in the right distance to at least knock one of them in. Forming another menacing smirk, Viku eyed Sirom with interest as he stood up on all fours.

"Sirom huh? Do you honestly think you can take on a lion such as myself? Despite the fact I've killed many rogue lions your size, you're definitely not an exception." Viku said heartlessly as he took a quick dash towards Songo and Sirom. In matter of seconds, Viku crashed head first into Sirom's chest cavity, sending the young lion across the field. A small chuckle escaped Viku's inky colored muzzle lips as he disregarded Songo for the time being. The immoral lion stopped right in front of Sirom who was trying to muster up the strength to continue. Viku knew that a force like that had to of knocked the wind out of any lion of the same size.

"Aw, you look helpless now Sirom. Too bad Songo can't even move or things may have gotten interesting." Viku stated cruelly, eying over to Songo who seemed terrified. Giving one last final smirk, Viku showed no hesitation as he ejected out all of his keen like fore claws and immediately placed them directly on Sirom's furry scruff.

"So Songo, do you reconsider your words? How about you give me what I want." Viku said collectedly, applying small force against Sirom's furry nape to cause a hindrance to the lion's breathing. Small coughing fits can be heard as Sirom was beginning to struggle under Viku's grasp.

[Songo]

Everything happened so fast in front of Songo, she blinked a couple times as Sirom addressed Viku she watched him step in-between them. A sigh escaped her muzzle and her blue eyes stared at Sirom, he really wasn’t going to leave her side. There was so much she hadn’t explained to him and so many details left un-said. The lioness lowered her head and her ears flattened back as Viku’s words swirled around her, “She ran away when her loved ones needed her the most.” The words stung her heart and she winced and closed her eyes tightly. Words escaped her ebony muzzle lips quickly, “There was nothing I could do to save them..” she muttered under her breath. “You were unstoppable at that time and all that was left was me..”


When Songo opened her crystal blue eyes she noticed Sirom pinned by Viku and she panicked, “Viku..No!” she yelled and ran towards him. She threw her body at Viku knocking him off Sirom and she sunk her claws into his side, she fell to the ground with him. Picking herself up she stepped back from Viku and panted heavily, “What..is it…you..want?” she asked in a cold tone. Songo’s eyes looked over to Sirom and she hoped he could handle his own while she tried to distract Viku, she felt like she was trapped in a bad dream.

[CheetahCat]

Sirom gasped in horror from Viku pounce. The force alone knocked him off of his hind paws as he fell backwards flat on his furry brown back. With widen eyes, he quickly placed both of his considerable fore paws against Viku's furry chest to try and shove him away. A low growl emitted from Sirom's throat as he effortlessly tried his best to try and pry this evil lion off of him but things were already looking dreary. Not able to comprehend on what to do next, Sirom watched on to see what Viku was about to do until Songo's innocent body came crashing into Viku out of nowhere. Alarmed by this, Sirom blinked a few times and rolled over onto his side as he glanced over to Songo and Viku. He knew things can get out of paw right now and tried to move up on all fours. Struggling, Sirom frowned almost instantly to witness Viku gain an adventure in their conflict.

"Songo!" Sirom yelled fearfully, finally moving up on all fours as he noticed Viku wasn't doing any physical attacks. Showcasing a puzzled muzzle, Sirom observed the scenery and wondered what was bound to happen next. He'll definitely intervene if Viku tried to do anything catastrophic.

Viku smirked sinisterly at the sight in front of him, knowing he had everything to his favor. With Sirom pinned down, he knew Songo will have to give in to whatever he desired but before he can exchange any arrangement, Songo's sudden pounce caught him imprudent and he came crashing down onto his furry side. Angered by this, Viku hastily rolled up on all fours and conveniently incapacitated Songo by pinning her down with his much colossal sized physique. A small smirk formed around those ebony muzzle lips of his as he listened closely to what she was saying. Chuckling softly, Viku didn't bother harming the attractive lioness as he nodded.

"You should already know what I want Songo. Despite our differences, I'm making sure you come back to where you belong." Viku said coldly, glancing down at the startled lioness. He assumed things weren't going to go his way and having this other lion before him may cause a downfall to what he was trying to achieve.

"Seeing how I can't really do anything at this very moment, I'll allow you both to reunite and rejoice. Think about my offer Songo, it's either me or him and I'm sure you don't want to pick the wrong decision." Viku finished deliberately before disappearing behind the bushes swiftly.

[Songo]

Songo felt Viku pin her under his weight and her blue eyes flickered with freight as she looked up at him. “Get off me..” she puffed from Viku pushing on her chest. She stopped moving and narrowed her eyes as he spoke by her ears and they flattened back reluctantly. She listened closely to his words and he got off of her, she let out a sigh that he didn’t kill her.


She rolled onto her belly and watched Viku run off into the woods, “Damn it..” she cursed under her breath. The past had finally caught up with her and now she couldn’t keep running, Viku would never stop. She stood to her paws and looked back at Sirom, “I’m sorry…’ she muttered towards him. She leaned her paws forward and felt the chilly breeze blow past her face, she inhaled it deeply. “I know..what I have to do..” she said out loud.

[CheetahCat]

Sirom carefully observed the situation and watched Viku take off behind the bushes. He didn't bother chasing the other lion and turned his main attention on Songo who was beginning to move up on all fours and make her way towards him. A small smile formed around his ebony muzzle lips as he padded over towards her. Regardless of her past, Sirom still felt really connected to Songo and would do almost anything to make sure things will go smoothly. Upon hearing what she was saying, Sirom wasn't sure what she was planning on doing and felt bewildered.

"What is it you're going to do about this Songo? I don't want you getting near this Viku lion, it's the last thing I want you doing." Sirom nervously said, feeling a small breeze ruffling up against his pelt and bushy brown mane. He remained stationary and wondered what Songo's particular contrivance was going to be.

[Songo]

Songo’s blue eyes gazed at Sirom, “I need to go back.” she sid softly. The chilly wind blew past her and she shivered, she stepped towards Sirom and licked his muzzle. “I have to go get what’s left of my pride back…” she said stepping closer to him. She snuggled her body against his large frame and she looked down at her paws, “I can’t keep running from my past.” she added.

Her blue eyes looked back towards Sirom and she nestled her face in his chest fur before pulling away. She stepped towards the jungle and glanced back over her shoulder at Sirom. She felt her heart break as she prepared to leave Sirom behind and she wasn’t sure if she could leave. She paused and waited for Sirom to stop her because if he loved her he wouldn’t let her leave alone.

[CheetahCat]

Sirom carefully listened to what Songo was saying, taking in what has been going on with her past. He was a bit confused on what really happened to her Pride back in the day and knew things wouldn't go immaculate. A frown soon formed around his inky jet black muzzle lips, having a feeling something terrible may happen if she went off alone. Sirom didn't want anything deleterious to happen with Songo and stepped forward with a unadulterated muzzle.

"I'm going to go with you Songo. I don't feel like you going out there by yourself, especially with Viku roaming around." The young lion finished calmly and advertised an warm, affectionate smile. Leaning in partially, he lovingly nuzzled her warm furry pelt as his raspy, pink, feline tongue traveled across her neck region in a supportive manner. Keeping a full on smile, Sirom finished his warm hearted nuzzles and stood up more erect to await for Songo to take lead in their small unexpected undertaking.

"I care for you so much Songo and I really want to go on with you. If you think I should stay back though, I honestly don't think I'll be able to. You mean the world to me and I want to make sure everything stays safe amongst ourselves, most definitely you." Sirom finished graciously, with a small hint of nervousness in his tone. He remained stationary for the time being and observed their current surroundings to make sure things weren't uncontaminated by any rogue lions, especially Viku.

[Songo]

Songo looked at Sirom and smiled as she felt his nuzzles, letting out a soft purr she licked his furry cheek. “Alright then. Let’s go…” she said hesitantly. She stepped into the jungle and her ears flattened back as she sniffed trying to scent Viku, his scent seemed to be gone.

Her blue eyes looked back at Sirom and she nodded and started to step quickly through the jungle. She leaped over big roots and crawled through thick bushes, the jungles plants seemed to be bigger than those out by the plains. She ran next to Sirom her body close to his, “Thank you. I have to do this...for me and I have to rescue the rest of my pride.” she said softly as they stepped and her stride matched his own.

The canopy blocked out much of the sun’s rays and as they traveled deeper it got darker. Songo slowed her pace to a steady walk and she nestled closer to Sirom. “It’s really dark..” she spoke. The air got chilly and she stared at the vine plants wrapping around the huge trees, her blue eyes taking in all the sights.
