"I am Jesús from the Pride Lands and I'm burdened with glorious propose.."

Jesús opened his eyes to see he was in a clearing surrounded by really tall grasses. A dark evil laugh ran through the air. Jesús looked towards the direction of the laugh where he seen a red-brown lion with a black mane. He looked like him with menacing features, his black, dark brown eyes was soulless.

Jesús was beyond afraid, was this him?

"Please tell me your going to appeal for my humility."

Jesús continued to look at his soulless self. "Am I cursed?"

The soulless Jesús smiled. "Oh yes."

Jesús looked fearful and unsure. "So I am locked up here till you might have use of me?"

The soulless Jesús emotionless features never faded. "Until I open the pathway, until your force is mine to command, you are but words."

"Why?"

The soulless Jesús smiled darkly. "Why not?"

"Because, I am the monster parents tell there children about at night?"

"What?"

Jesús wanted answers so he roared. "Tell Me!"

The soulless Jesús nodded. "Well yes. Can you wipe out that much red?"

Jesús thought back to the times he heard this self of him promise to be there. "You know it all makes sense now, no matter how much you claim to lov-"

The soulless Jesús roared. "ENOUGH! This is a child at prayer, PATHETIC! I remember you tossing me into an abyss, your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red, and you think saving yourself will change anything?"

Jesús looked around taking deep breaths. He didn't want this, not anymore.

"Please Help!"

~O~

"Jesús! Jesús, wake up!"

The red-brown lion shot up breathing heavy. He looked around till his eyes landed on Sherise who was looking at him with concerned eyes.

"It was a dream.."

Sherise frowned, Jesús must of had a nightmare. Sherise looked at the red-brown lion closely, and saw he was crying. She seen the black in his eyes disappear, making it a charming dark brown.

Sherise moved closer and put her head under his. Jesús' body shook as tears began to fall. Jesús leaned in the touch crying silently. Sherise wished she could make him feel better. Than her eyes widen at a thought. But she knew her family was going to kill her. But she knew it doesn't matter, it's her choice.

Sherise looked up at the lion who was nuzzling against her head. She reached up and licked his cheek, causing Jesús to look at her startled. Sherise smiled before nuzzling into his mane.

Jesús closed his eyes before letting out a soft purr as he and Sherise got lost in the heated moment.

~O~

"Are you going to tell me what happened yesterday?"

Jesús laid on his back with Sherise snuggled into his side. "Maybe.."

Sherise rolled on to her side and smiled."Please?"

Jesús sat up and lowered his head. "I had a nightmare."

Sherise got up and sat by the red-brown lion's side. "You can tell me. I'm here."

Jesús smiled lightly. "A...another version of myself came to me. He was soulless and emotionless. I don't want to be that."

Sherise nuzzled him lovingly. "You don't have to be. You are good and kind. You're full of emotions and you defiantly is not soulless."

Jesús nuzzled back, enjoying the warmth of the affection.
