New lands

[brook]

Angel padded through her territory. She was now the queen of the beautiful lands, and her mate was the King. Her cubs were just as important. All three of them were equal princesses and all would be treated the best when they got new members. She padded on, looking back she saw Harleigh chasing Brooke in a game of tag. There was no more worrying about be attacked out of the blue, but there was still a small chance.

She padded on, looking around a few times before she roared like never before. These were her and Hathor's land now, and anybody that trespassed would either be joining the pride or they would be chased out.She walked on, her big paws making prints in the mud. She looked up at the gray clouds and sighed. At least they had found a cave that the pride would stay in during the night.

She sighed as it began to rain.She licked Brooke's head as she passed, seeing she was covered in mud. She looked at Harleigh and saw that she was no cub anymore. She was now almost a year old. She was already showing signs of independence, not wanting help with hunting or anything.She then looked around for Keira and Hathor They must be exploring the other half of the land She thought.

Harleigh passed her, a paw print left in the mud. Angel stepped in it a realized it was much smaller then hers and Hathor. Soon it would be time for them to tell her that she was not really theirs. She sighed and walked on, the rain hitting her fur with force. She loved the rain, but not when it fell down this hard.She looked around for Hathor. She needed to talk to him about what to tell Harleigh, it was time for her to know.

She began to wonder if Harleigh simply ran off like Keira when she was little. That would mean that her parents still loved her. Angel shook her head. What if her and Hathor had taken Harleigh away from a better life then they had now. Or maybe it was a worst life then this? She didn't know what to think. Harleigh wouldn't remember what her parents were like, she was only about 3 weeks when they found her.

She shook her thoughts away and looked up at the sky, rain falling in her eyes, forcing her to look down at the ground. She looked at her paw print and watched as it filled with rain. She began to remember her past, it all flooding into her mind. It was the worst past she had even heard over, but she had to live through it.

She remembered being just a small cub and having to take care of herself while her mother tried to calm down her father. Her mother would come back with many scratches and without her father. Her father would come back days later and the same routine would go on. Until one day her mother never returned. She waited for days but her mother never showed. She began to follow her scent and a few day later found her dead in the soft grass.

Angel grieved for months, maybe longer then that. She was alone and tired, for she didn't sleep that often, afraid of being attacked. She found a pride but left it one day when they all never returned. She had lost so much and never wanted to be hurt so much again. So she rejected so many nice males, afraid they would hurt her. But then she met Hathor, something was different about him, she felt she could trust him. And now here she is today, as happy as ever.

Angel shook her head and she came back to her new territory. The smells rushed into her, making her forget all the bad memories. She sighed and looked at Brooke who was laying by a tree. She never wanted any of that to happen to any of her daughters. She then looked at Harleigh and prayed to herself that she would find the perfect male, that wouldn't hurt her, and would keep her safe always.

She then padded over to a near by tree and lie down, her fur soaking wet. She licked her paw once before setting her head on her paws. She kept her eyes open for any signs of someone wanting to join the pride. It was a very rainy day, and there were alot of lionesses out there without a home, and she didn't want them to end up like she did. In fact, they wouldn't end up like she did if they joined her and Hathor's pride.

the s t r ong e s t of them a l l...Or t h e
P r o u d e s t

Strutting his tall, lithe pillars in a fashion which indicated absolute pride or arrogance, Hath moved into his new land smirking. A very arrogant smirk. Sure he was arrogant, why shouldn't he be? With three pretty daughters, a beautiful mate and a land that matched both. This was the life...But it could be snatched from him at any point, so he must be on his toes. Peering around he spotted the moving shapes of his family. Except one...Keira. Damn that girl! She was always in trouble! Where was she this time...Last time it had been Faunus, he had caught her flirting to the bewildered little cub. But now she was probably in deeper trouble. Hathor had yet to tell his family about his other family...His sisters and brother that marched this same land. But how could he? Would they laugh? Would they scorn him if he told the Truth? They wouldn't mind if he had a chat with his brother, after all, Truth and he had been very close. Hathor had always protected Truth from physical damage, as Truth was tutored by their father in the ways of war. Hathor was a natural, while Truth preferred learning and teaching to fighting. Sighing ever so slightly at the thought that he had not told his family about his favorite sister, Sileree, or about her placid twin, Dancer. He should go talk to them...But it was a rather nasty thought. What would she say? He knew all right. She would give him a sardonic smile, her oh so sultry look and say something along the lines of 'Dear brother, I would never resent you for not telling me you were here... Then she would go a little stiff and say through gritted teeth so only he could hear, 'But a mate? Honestly, Hath, I thought you would have told me.' Then she would smirk again and rub her face affectionately on his. Sileree was supportive, but she was always a little too interested in where his feelings lay. Spotting Angel, Hathor crouched down and crept forward. His breathing light, and soundless he smiled sardonically. Reminding himself forcably of his little sister when he smiled, he moved even more quietly towards his mate. Muscles tense and golden mane glowing, Hath pounced onto Angel. The light was in her eyes now, she wouldn't be able to recognize him until she caught his scent or moved out of the suns rays. Purring uproariously, the cracked sound continued as he smiled down at her.

Angel jumped up and turned, getting into an attacking position. Then the bright sun was pushed out of her face and she saw Hathor Dont' do that! She growled, then pounced on him and pinned him down. We need to talk about what to tell Harliegh. She said, then nuzzled him and climbed off. She smiled at him and then looked at Harliegh.She was nothing like them and she needed to know. She sighed at then set her head on her paws and looked at Hathor. She sighed once more and waited for him to speak.

Nobody had joined there pride yet and that made her feel disappionted that nobody wanted to join. She looked around her land and sighed. I wonder why nobody will join She said, more to herself then to Hathor. She pulled up her head and shook it, then looked at Hathor and smiled once more. She then turned her head and smiled at Harleigh. She was no cub, she wasa lioness. She licked Brooke as she pasted and looked around for Keira Where is she now She mumbled, then looked around once more.
