A small teal colored female lion cub named DA meowed happily as she ran full of energy around her favorite shady tree. She ponced on the the falling brown leaves that drifted to the soft yellow earth and smiled to herself proud of her own hunting skills. Her life seemed prefect. DA looked over her shoulder and spotted her mother laying on her side lazily in a small grassy cave. DA ran towards her joyfully and ready to play a game. DA pawed at her mother's tail playfully. Her mother licked her forehead and smiled her bight smile. DA laid down at her mother's side and currled into a little ball. Her mother's tummy was very big right now; she was going to have 2 cubs. DA purred as she got a bath she needed so dearly.
"Mammy, I love you so much." DA purred louder.
"I love you too my dear."
"Will you still love me when these new cubs come?"
"Baby, I will always love you." Her mother, Taila, put her nose against DA's fur.
They both purred for a while their bodies curling into a ball of fluff.
"Mamma!" DA said suddenly jumping from her mother's side. "I felt a kick!"
Just then the king, her father, ran in to them, looking very worried.
"D-Daddy, what's w-wrong?" DA shook with fear. Her fur bristled up. Last time her father did this, a lioness from their pride was murdered from the "Dark pride".
"The Dark pride has attacked! Taila, take DA and run, run as far away as you can! Don't worrie about me and the pride. We will come get you if..." The king struggled for words. "If we live. Good-bye and I will always love you. " He ran away from them to help the pride.
That was the last they saw of him. Taila had grabbed DA by the scruff and ran past the water hole, past the grazing antelope, and beyond their borders. They stopped at a large cave and sleep for the night. DA cried the whole night.
When they woke, growling surrounded them. DA wimpered while Taila growled at the large male and his small pride. DA looked around the lion and was quiet startled to see ever single one of them had a brown or black bushy mane. Their were no females. DA sensed danger but said nothing. She just stood up beside her mother.
"This is our pride lands. You aren't welcome here. You must leave before we attack you and your young cub."
DA looked beyond the king and saw a small tail, it was white with a red tips. Very strange for a very dark colored pride. DA thought with wonder.
"We just escaped our pride that was under attack. We need a home and shelter. Can we stay here with your pride if it is okay? If not, we will leave you." Her pregnate belly shown when she stood up to face the king. His eyes shifted and a sly-like smile apeared on his light brown chin. His teeth glimered in the sunlight reflexting of the cave walls.
"You may stay but, on one condiction." DA gulped at the lion's words and hid her head in her mom's fur. "You will be my queen and my son, Flare, with marry your daugher when they are of age. They will have cubs and the pride will carry on from there." DA pulled away from her mother and wimpered.
A male cub, about the same age as DA walked out behind his father. He had a small white mane that had red on the tips.He must be the cub I saw earlyer. He had scars on his leg, bleeding from earlyer that day. He looked scared of his dark colored father, who pushed him toward a large lion who picked in him up by large jaws and droped him next to DA, who wimpered slightly as Flare did the same.
"Agreed." Taila spoke fast and suddenly before DA could say even one word.
DA was heartbroken at her mother's agreement. She looked at Flare who looked at her. They both wimpered at the same time.
What DA didn't see was the leader's bloody claws spring out when Taila was about to say no.
How was the first chaper? Short, I know. Please tell you what you thought about it. I 'm in the making of another chapter.
