hey readers, I wanted to apologize for fasley updating my story the other day, I felt really stupid for it since I was trying to figure some things out. Anyways, heres the real chapter 2. It's quick, yes but it is important. I also want to apologize for focusing alot on Laveena and Jentai at the beginning, I promise I will get to Kion soon you will just have to be patient!
"No. It's obvious that he won't fall for that you're being ridiculous," Laveena snapped.
"It's a good strategy and is simple enough for you to grasp it," Jentai sneered sarcastically.
Laveena growled at her mother, to which she replied with an eye roll.
"Well, at least your beauty makes up for your unintelligence," Jentai nastilly remarked,
if looks could kill, Jentai would be brutally slaughtered from the intense, hard eyes of Laveena. Alluring as she was to anyone with decent sight, Laveena was still evidently dangerous and intimidating, and her unintentionally piercing, cold eyes were enough to make even the strongest lions feel vulnerable.
Suddenly feeling overpowered, Jentai averted the eye contact. Snapping herself out if it, she internally scolded herself for stupidly feeling intimidated by her own daughter.
Laveena discreetly smirked, before shakily walking ahead to avoid the lioness as much as possible. Her paws were becoming increasingly sore and tender, and her raw paws refused to heal due to the constant strain on her paws and legs. She was exhausted, and was now skeptical that she would even make it to the Outlands, before she jumped off a cliff.
After arguing for 20 minutes about how Jentai wanted her to manipulate the prince, Laveena had enough; more than enough. Though she still refused to voice her complaints, she furrowed her brows at the ground as she walked, already starting to feel guilty for what she was forced to do. Despising to think about deceiving an innocent, and then fighting alongside her selfish mother as well as those greedy hyenas to mercilessly murder their parents, disgusted her. She didn't choose this, and it made her seethe with pure anger and betrayal to be stuck in this situation.
Too busy focusing on her mental rant, Laveena failed to notice her surroundings:
"Laveena. Pay attention," snapped her mother as she shoved her daughter a little too hard, causing her to stumble. She was quick to regain her balance, and was about to hiss and shove her back, but stopped herself as she became more aware of her surroundings. Leaving her jaw-dropped and dare she say almost relieved, Laveena took in the visual of the barren outlands; the home of the hyenas.
Jentai's mouth curved up to reveal a mischievous smile, as she marched towards the eerie territory. Carelessly, she hadn't bothered to look back at her frozen daughter.
Laveena felt numb, like every muscle in her body was trapped in an icy cage. She stood like a statue as the realization hit her, like a bullet. Fear started to set, although she would never admit to it as she readied herself. As her expression hardened, she forced herself to take a step, ignoring the doubts that rolled in. As Laveena gazed upon the urban Outlands, nervously, she took the first step, and continued to follow her mother.
Feel free to tell me how you feel about my writing and storyline. Again I will reassure you that I encourage any type of criticism that can improve my story. Any requests or ideas? let me know through private message or reviewing!
