Hello guys. Here's another chapter of Delicate II for you. Enjoy.
Hera's dark green eyes looked around before the pale white lioness made a quick dash. Hera ran until she entered a secluded field, also known as her field. As when things became too much, she'll retreat here.
Hera closed her pain filled eyes, slumped over and cried.
Tears falling down her cheeks making fresh bruises noticeable. Since she could walk, she's been abused. If not from her parents, from her brothers. She wanted out and the way out was death.
The sound of something or someone entering her field caused Hera to jump in alert in case it was her parents, brothers or one of their lackies to drag her back.
But to the pale white lioness' surprise, the intruder was a tawny pelted lioness that she seen around her brothers. More importantly, Aziel.
"Please," the tawny lioness pleaded. "I came on my own terms."
Hera wasn't too sure what to think. But she felt that this lioness was living in a hell on earth as well.
The tawny lioness took deep breaths before speaking again. "My name is Dania. You probably heard of my father. Dhampir the trader but that's not true! Kovu and your father was going to kill him as he was useless to them!"
Hera stood and raised a paw to stop Dania before placing her paw back on the ground. "You don't have to continue. I know all too well what my father and Kovu had planned for Dhampir." with a deep breath Hera looked at Dania with confusion. "But that doesn't explain why you followed me,"
Dania nodded briefly before responding. "I'm pregnant with your brother's cub. And I'm no fool, you want out. So do I."
Hera looked away with her ears against her head. "Yeah? Well, where are we supposed to go? The Pridelands?"
...
Mapenzi couldn't fight off the nervousness. But he had a job to do and he'll be damed if he let Luis down. With a deep breath, the athletic build pale cream, brownish maned lion went forward with his important task.
Mapenzi listened and watched. Just as the sun began setting, he noticed a lioness sneaking away. He wasn't paying too much attention to her appearance but her odd behavior and need to sneak away gain his curiosity. So he followed, silently.
He quietly entered behind the pale white lioness and hid under some wet greenery. His heart nearly stopped once his greenish eyes landed on the breathtaking pale white lioness. She was absolutely beautiful and as he watched her cry, it made him want to kill whoever was responsible.
Then another lioness came. Dania. Then his world just fell apart. When he realized who the beautiful lioness that captured his heart was. His best friend's sister.
"Yeah? Well, where are we supposed to go? The Pridelands?"
With a deep breath, Mapenzi made himself known. At seeing him the two lionesses were afraid, Hera for a moment couldn't stop staring until Dania cleared her throat.
"Who are you? And what do you want?"
Mapenzi bowed. "I'm a escort to the Pridelands. By the request of your brother, King Luis." Mapenzi said the last part looking at the confused pale white lioness.
Hera's dark green eyes widened. "My brother? I don't-"
A loud roar caused the three to stand and look around before their eyes landed on a massive black lion with a dark brown, almost black mane. To Hera and Dania, it was Helen's father, Horus.
"You two aren't going no anywhere!" Horus snarled before turning his black eyes on the young pale cream lion. "As for you, trespasser. I'm going to rip you apart and send your remains to your pathetic king."
Mapenzi's greenish eyes widened. He was no where trained for a fight. He never been caught in his missions of stealth.
As the massive wave of black fur leapt at him with crooked teeth and jagged claws bared, Mapenzi's life flashed across his eyes.
