Peranlo sat not far away from Arabi gaze locked on the disapearing pride heading out onto the plains to hunt. Sigh escapes the female wishing she too was going, but no. Instead she was stuck babysitting the daughter of Ramada. Not that that was bad as such.. but still. Turning she glanced at the young female. Asleep. Peranlo stood walking across the length of pride rock tail flicking back and forth behind haunches. What was that? the sound of tumbling rocks met her ears and she turned grimacing. All the pride should be gone.. who was it? green eyes narrow slightly before she jumps down walking slowly towards some rocks hidden in the long grasses. Yet she never reached them. A soft chuckle sounded to her right and before she could turn to see who it was a paw slid across her neck slicing her throat cleanly. She uttered a watery gasp before she slid to the ground clouding gaze eyes staring ahead. Kakapo wiped his paws on the grass sneering at the body before turning and padding back the way he had come. Now it was time to let his son do what he had too.
Mohasu slunk through the rocks near to the entrance of the caverns. He saw the other lioness climb down the otherside obviously following the distraction his father had set out. A slight grimace formed on his maw almost feeling sorry for the unsuspecting female. Yet it had to be done right? Father wouldnt do it if there was another way.. Shrugging his shoulders he crept forward further. Now, the hard bit would be luring Arabi from the den and out to drink the water from the rock pool. Mohasu had cunningly placed into the water the flower from a plant Kakapo had pointed out to him, it would not kill any who drank from the water, but cause the victim to feel sick and dizzy and soon fall into a sleep that would not end for a few hours to a day depending on how much they drank. Climbing up further he took a breath and peered into the opening. There she was. Mohasu paused watching her sleep. Faint memorys stir in the back of his mind yet he pushed them away. He had to do this. Pulling back he climbed down the slope allowing his travel to stir the rocks making a small noise. Hopefully she would awake and come to see what was going on. Stepping around the rock pool he slid into the long grasses beside it and looked out waiting.
Arabi stirred inside the den. What was that noise? Blinking sleepily she rose to her paws wandering out of the den. Where had Perlano gone? She was sitting out here when she had fallen asleep.. Perhaps it was her that had awoken Arabi. Gaze sweeps the grounds below Pride rock. Nothing.. Where was she? The sound had come from near the rock pool.. Maybe she had gone for a drink. Arabi decided that was a good idea, her throat seemed dry and rough from her sleep. Sliding down the side of the rocks on her haunches she dropped beside the pool and lowered her head. Gaze travels the grasses momentarily before she shrugs and starts to drink enjoying the cold water as it ran steadily down her throat. Much better. It seemed to taste slightly bitter yet Arabi thought nothing of it turning and climbing back up the rocks and laying down in the den hoping to return to her sleep.
Well. That was easy, Mohasu though slinking out of the grasses. Gaze shifts from the pool to Priderock and he smirks slightly sitting down to wait a few minutes before heading up to see if it had started to take effect.
Arabi awoke from her uneasy sleep not long later. Immediatly she senced somthing wasnt right.. She blinked trying to steady her uneaven gaze. Struggling to stand she lowered her head trying to shake away the fuzzyness that had formed at the corners of her vision. What was going on? Unsteady step is taken before she falls down hitting the ground with a thump. Paws shift slightly and she groans feeling as if she was spinning around and around in circles. Her vision blurred then reformed continuously giving the young female a throbbing headache. Suddenly a shadow fell across the opening.
'Father?' She murmered weakly trying to focus on the form. No it wasnt Ramada but another..he looked oddly familiar but even as it slid into place her conciousness slipped away.
'Mohasu.' came the last whispered words from her mouth before she slumped weakly onto the ground eyes closing. Mohasu stared at her wondering what he had done.
'Im sorry Arabi..' He muttered dropping his head before glancing over his shoulder. It was far too late to turn back now. Moving to her limp body he lowered himself to the ground pulling her over his shoulders then standing steadying himself under the added weight. Time to get out of here. Making his way down Pride rock he slipped into the grasses besides the caverns meeting his fathers gaze. Kakapo smirked nodding his head looking at his son approvingly.
'Well done Mohasu. Now lets go before Ramada's pride returns.'
Mohasu nodded slightly then followed his father heading back to the place they called home, previously named the Outlands by a group of outcasts many years back.
