Darkness's P.O.V
I looked at the unoccupied space beside me, where Watcher had been standing moments before. I tore my gaze from the spot and looked at the pride again, the absence of Lily and Zeus did not go unnoticed from my vision. I raised my head and sniffed the air wondering where they had gone, for the past while I had been keeping an eye on them, after they had seen my friends and I go our separate ways.
'Where did they go,' my eyes scanned the pride, I listened for any noise that would help tell me if they were near. Both my ears and eyes found nothing.
I sighed in annoyance as I raised myself-up from my statue like position and scented the air once more. The wind blew their scent towards me along with a scent that would forever haunt my memories, the scent of blood though it was not their blood it was the scent of Giggles' blood.
My eyes widened in horror at the smell. I pushed myself off my hind legs and followed the scent as fast as I could.
The sun had already begun to set as I came to the end of the trail. The cave stood before me, fresh blood lay on the ground leading in. I padded in following the trail of blood, I feared the worse but what I saw was worse than I could ever have thought possible.
Upon the ground, unmoving lay Ace, Star, Mischief and Giggles, blood pooled around them staining their fur.
"Ace…Star…Mischief…Giggles," I whispered as I took a slow step forward.
I took no notice of the other scent the wind had brought along.
Sinister laughter echoed along the cavern walls, the sound sent chill down my spine. I whipped my head around trying to find the source of the laughter.
"Why!" I roared, the roar echoing along, "Why them why did you do this!"
The sound of claws tapping against stone gained my attention, I turned my head to the shadows.
Lily padded out blood staining her golden coat, she laughed, "why, why," she repeated mockingly.
Zeus padded out from the shadows, blood dripping from his muzzle and stood at her side, "because it's the way of the land…only the strong shall survive!" he roared loudly.
From behind them other lions and lionesses from the pride appeared each one splattered in the blood of my family.
I stared at them horrified at the massacre they took part in, "you monsters!'' I snarled loudly, "you're all cowards attacking those who have done nothing to you, they had no place in this battle!"
"They became a part of the battle when you decide to become friends with them," Lily smirked licking the blood from her muzzle.
I roared in anger and leapt forward pinning her to the ground, "you monster," I snarled, opening my jaws to finish her off.
Zeus rammed his head into my side knocking me from Lily, "it's time for you to go back to whatever ever hell you came from!"
The other pride members took the roar as the attack order, they charged forwards hatred in their eyes.
For every lion I took down it seemed that ten more took his/her place. I was losing the fight but I refused to give in I would get my revenge.
I felt their claws pierce my skin, tearing it away, their claws felt like burning flames racking across my skin as the clawed me.
I fell to the ground no longer able to remain upright, my vision began to blur from the loss of blood. The pride padded away leaving me to lay in the pool of my blood.
A saw a figure come forward and lean down close, "bye, bye," the voice I recognized as Lily's cooed sickly sweet.
I heard laughter from behind her, and then I knew no more.
