The air filled with the rising shrill of voices. Others could hear it echoing through the trees, disturbing the serenity that was just settling back into place in all it's surrounding. No one could tell what it was about, or who it was from, and tried to leave it be and hoped it would end soon...
That was almost six hours ago. And the shrilling voices were coming from two felines: Diego and Shira. Recently, a pack sabers suddenly appeared on the Hyrax island put of nowhere. Neither Diego nor Shira knew them, but were eager to get to know them, seeing as there were no other Saber's around. What they were arguing about was they were questioning both their relationship... mainly because of two of the saber tooth's they got to know over a few days;
Koi, and Saffron.
Diego was having relationship issues with Shira because of Koi...
Shira was having relationship issues with Diego because of Saffron...
And when they tried to work on it together... all hell went loose. In case if any of you readers want to know why these two are having their problems;
Koi is a black and white saber with big browns eyes. He was fast, furious, and quite muscular. He had a lovely, bright personality, always smiling and making sure everyone was okay... and he didn't try to act tough and cold towards anyone at first... unlike Diego...
Saffron has brown fur in the shade, and when she stood in the sun, every inch of her was painted in gold, and outlined her sharp, Sapphire blue eyes. She was small and dainty, lady like, very pretty, fun, poetic, and very friendly towards everyone the first time... unlike Shira.
They decided to go for a walk when Shira asked Diego if they could talk privately... and it led to the beach of their home. They tried... but once they revealed that they put each other in the wrong... and the argument surfaced... and everything began to deteriorate very quickly.
"I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO BETRAY YOU DIEGO!" Shira screamed in his face, not stopping for a second when she realized she was also letting some saliva escape. "HOW CAN YOU ACCUSE ME FOR FLIRTING WITH KOI!"
"I SAW YOU!" He yelled back. "HE WAS ALL SWEET AND CORNY! FUNNY AND FRIENDLY! I DON'T REMEMBER GOING BLIND!"
"WELL- WHAT ABOUT YOU?"
"ME?!"
"YOU HEARD ME! I'M FULLY AWARE ABOUT YOU AND SAFFRON! YOU'RE A LITTLE TOO FRIENDLY FOR MY LIKING!" She let out a blood curdling cry as she raised her paw, an swiped it across Diego's face. He cried out in pain... and in a surprised tone. He slowly reached out for his cheek... only to feel the blood going down onto his paw. He jumps on her, and tackles her to the ground. She screams out for help, that doesn't even come before they were to far out away from their friends to hear her... Eventually she bit his leg to get his off her, and she checked herself; there was now a claw mark across her chest, and a bruise was forming on her back leg.
Shira: Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
*In rage and frustration, Diego glares at her as she continues to sing, but she tries to ignore his glance.*
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
*Tears's threatened to escape her eyes.*
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie...
*Diego growled at her.*
Diego:
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
High off her love, drunk from her hate,
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She fucking hates me and I love it.
*Shira starts to run away, and he watches for a few seconds, and then he runs after Shira.*
Wait! Where you going?
Shira:
I'm leaving you!
Diego:
No you ain't. Come back.
We're running right back.
*She disappears. He's now yelling.*
Here we go again!
It's so insane cause when it's going good, it's going great
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snapped
Who's that dude?
"I don't even know his name."
*Then he remembers that he jumped on her and hurt her.*
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength...
Shira *finds herself in the middle of the forest's canopy, almost ready to sob her eyes out*:
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Diego:
*Stomping along the shoreline, he thought about what made him fall for Shira in the first place.*
You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe when you're with 'em
You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah, them chills you used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick of looking at 'em
*Diego growled at the mere thought of Koi being anywhere near her.*
You swore you'd never hit 'em; never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit them
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down, pin 'em
So lost in the moments when you're in them
It's the rage that took over,
It controls you both
So they say you're best to go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know you 'cause today that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her
Next time you show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Shira:
*Thinking about Saffron and Diego together*
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Diego:
*He thought about the happy times he shared with Shira, the talks, the walks, the laughs, and the tears...*
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is
You're the same as me
When it comes to love you're just as blinded
Baby, please come back
It wasn't you, baby it was me
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
*He thought about their argument.*
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Next time? There won't be no next time!
I apologize even though I know its lies
I'm tired of the games I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
Im'a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
I'm just gonna
Shira:
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
Diego and Shira:
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie...
Shira wasn't sitting alone for long. Soon, Ellie came along, happening to have been searching for her anyways. She heard the screaming match the two had before Shira ran away, and she came running with Manny to see what happened. They both decided to let both of them try to talk to both fuming felines. So Ellie went to find Shira, while Manny stayed with Diego... and then Koi and Saffron decided to interfere with something they shouldn't have.
"Is he OK?" Asked Koi as he neared Diego, Sid and Manny took great pre-caution near Diego, wondering if this was a wise decision fr Koi to even show up. "Me and Saff were just walking and heard them... screaming at each other. She gave him a swipe across the cheek..."
"Then we saw him attack you honey!" Said Saffron to Shira. She looked like she was about to start sobbing. Shira felt like screaming, and it wasn't about Diego. "How could a man ever do that to his girlfriend? It's just not right! It's mean! Domestic violence even!"
"Why did you attack her man?" Said Koi. He shook his head in shame. "That's just... bad."
"Totally not a man should do." Saffron shook her head. "You can find someone so much better darling." And that was the last straw. That last sentence really blew Shira into anger mode. "It's your fault he is like this!"
"It's your fault that we were fighting in the first place!" Diego's filter finally hit it's final point, and now Koi was shrinking away from him in obvious fear.
"Me?" Koi squeaked.
"Me?! Why? How?" Saffron was afraid of Shira's sudden mood change, however, it didn't stop her being curious about the unforeseen accusation she was sudden charged with.
"You know why you snippy good for nothing man stealer!" And then Shira ran off.
"You've been trying to take her away from me!" Diego yelled in Koi's face. Manny and Sid could only look at each other worriedly. They never saw Diego so angry at someone in their lives... he lived with them for crying out loud!
"I wouldn't touch your girl bro! I swear!" Koi said. "You gotta believe me man!"
"I wouldn't believe you if I was on my death bed!" And then he ran off.
Shira *making her way into the center of trees and big bushes*:
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
Til the walls are goin' up
In smoke with all our memories...
Shira's ears perk up at the sound of someone else's voice:
It's morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry
That you pushed me into the coffee table last night
So I can push you off me!
*She crawled towards the small, barely visible space between two bushes, and there was Diego...*
Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
Baby, without you, I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me!
*It wasn't the Diego she knew...*
Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky
*But not the Diego she loved.*
Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills,
You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'?
I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refused counsellin'
This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
With you I'm in my f-ckin' mind, without you, I'm out it
Shira:
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
*Diego turned to see her coming towards him. He felt his guilt rising at the sight of what he left behind on her.*
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
*Shira swallowed at the sight of the mark she felt on his cheek.*
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
*They leant their heads together, and closed their eyes.*
Diego and Shira:
But that's alright because I love the way you lie...
"I'm so sorry," said Shira. "For everything."
"I'm sorry for hurting you," said Diego. "For thinking you would be disloyal to and cheat..."
"Me too." They kissed, and watched the sun set behind the tree tops together. Silent, but together. Soon they both mentally agreed to apologize to Koi and Saffron for wrongly accusing them, and they were soon forgiven... after they realized Koi and Saffron were a couple themselves!
"Now I know that I already sent in a request but I'm sending in another. So I was thinking that maybe you could do "I Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rihanna, featuring Diego and Shira. I thought it might be interesting because you don't usually see or read stories with them having some type of argument or the two of them getting in a fight, which the song is mostly about, it would be something out of the ordinary and be very interesting, in my opinion anyways."
And there you have y'all!
Hope ya like it.
Please keep sending in your requests!
