Chapter 1

Lion-o was out in the kingdom and he saw the most beautiful lioness he had ever set eyes on and she was his age. "Hi, I'm Lion-o," he said.

"I'm Liosella," she said. She was just as amazed by him as he was of her.

"Nice to meet you," Lion-o said.

"Nice to meet you too my prince," Liosella said. Lion-o thought he saw something.

"Hey how did you get this bruise?" Lion-o asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," Liosella said.

"Is something wrong?" Lion-o asked.

"Nothing prince Lion-o," Liosella said.

"I promise I won't laugh or anything," Lion-o said.

"Okay I got it last week when my father hit me," Liosella said.

"He hit you?" Lion-o asked.

"He was mad and so he hit me," Liosella said. "My mom is not very nice either they wanted a son, but got a daughter instead." she said.

"I see, if you ever need help come to me I won't hesitate to help." Lion-o said.

"I don't want to burden you with my problems." she said.

"I don't care I just don't want anyone to be in a bad situation whether they are cat or another animal no one should go through this." Lion-o said.

"Thank you Lion-o," she said. Then left for home.

Lion-o headed back home too.

The next day he ran into Liosella again. "It's great to see you." He said.

"It's great see you too," she said.

They started to walk together and even got a snack. "You know Lion-o I heard many things about you," she said.

"I know that I am a spoiled Prince I have heard it before," Lion-o said. "But that's not me at all," he said.

"I guess you can't believe everything you hear." Liosella said.

They saw each other of the next couple of days. On a sunny day under a blossom tree. Lion-o and Liosella were sitting together. Then their faces got closer and closer and they kissed. They were amazed then went home. Lion-o sighed and fell back on his bed and smiled. He was so in love.

Liosella sat down on her bed. Her parents came into her room they didn't look happy. "You are disgrace!" Her father said slapping her.

"You do not belong in this family!" her mother said hitting her arm.

"You are not our child," her father said.

"Now get out of this house and don't come back!" they said hitting her again and tearing her clothes.

Liosella ran for her life and made it in a street far from her parents home. She was frightened and worried what might happen to her. She didn't know what to do. She remembered what Lion-o said but she doubted the king and queen would approve.

So she decided to wait until she saw Lion-o again. She didn't know when that would be.
