Sherise laid on her stomach with her head on her crossed paws. Sitting a little ways away was some of the team.
"I would like to know what his game is." Kion said as he paced looking at his team members.
Kaden looked from his paws. "I don't think we should focus too much on Jesús. Just his plan, that guy is like a cave full of hyenas. You can smell crazy on him."
Kopa looked at the light gold lion. "Be careful how you speak. Jesús may be beyond reason but is from the Pride Lands and he's my brother."
Amanda looked up from lying on her stomach. "He took eighty lives in two days."
"He's adopted."
Sherise's ears perked at that. No wonder why he's on a rampage, he's mad but most of all he's hurt. Sherise frowned at the thought before she stood and headed towards the direction of the prison cave. A light brown lioness was guarding the cave.
"Hey. They said to releave you."
The lioness smiled before walking away leaving Sherise and Jesús alone.
"You're a very talented liar. I'm impressed."
Sherise walked over to the cave entrance and sat. "I could of had orders from my father and grandfather."
Jesús chuckled. "Yes. But I'm quite sure your father and grandfather wouldn't send their precious daughter to sit with some criminal."
"True. But I don't think you're a criminal."
Jesús looked shocked. "You don't?"
Sherise shook her head. "No. Actually...I think I understand."
Jesús frowned before he growled which made the teen jump. "You don't understand! How can you understand! What bad has ever came to your life!"
Sherise pinned her ears against her head. "If you don't count the fact that my family wants me to be someone else...than no."
Jesús didn't respond he starred the young lioness down. Trying to figure her out.
"No I wasn't adopted. No I wasn't promised a throne. But I have been lied to and I can help you."
Jesús sneered. "I don't need your help!"
"Listen Jesús...you're mad, angry at Simba and Kopa. But most of all you're hurt..."
"Get out!"
Sherise sighed deeply before walking out of the cave. Jesús growled before slumping down on his side.
"I don't need anybody!"
~O~
Sherise was drinking from a water hole when she felt someone brush against her. Sherise looked up and seen Ricardo looking at her.
"What can I do for you?"
The dark tan lion smiled. "A date."
Sherise shook her head. "No thank you."
Sherise went to walk away but Ricardo stepped on her tail. "I wasn't asking."
Sherise's eyes widen in fear. Sherise was too in shock to move.
"This will be fun!"
Ricardo pounced fully prepared to claim the teen as his.
