it was warm, the feeling of dirt and stone made the cave feel temperate..yet
Aabinus scowled. Her claws were rooted in the patches of dirt as she flexed them, looking at the other side of the neatly lit cave at her sister, Dusk, a beautiful combination of gray and pink covered her fur adequately, shining simply in the light as she sat. Next to her was a ruby-pelted lioness, with darker red stripes littered on her fur, her eyes sparkling a shining copper as dusk spoke to her…but something was off…they were both too close for Aabinus’s liking, especially when it came to dusk…
Aabinus had always hated dusk and her bratty ignorance...she always felt like she had owned everything…
….
Even Aabinus’s mate, velevly, the lioness Dusk was currently speaking to.
..
They both seemed awfully close as Aabinus watched from afar.
……….
….
Her lover was blushing as Dusk wrapped a tail around her body easily, giving her a suggestive smile as one of her paws snaked close to Aabinus’ mate.
….
Aabinus’ mind blanked, what was that? What did Dusk think she was doing? Aabinus’s fur standing on end as her vision blurred and her hearing shrieked with high-pitched screams in her head! Her claws dug deeper in the dirt…but her body…her body couldn't stay still…it moved against her will, no matter how deep her claws dug into the dirt; and then the stone…her limbs not feeling like her own as she approached her sister, and her mate, Velvey, with a blank stare…, her gleaming fangs exposed in a snarl, though her sister acted blind. “Sister and my dearest…” she says with feigned glee, watching them look at her in shock, velevly shuffled uncomfortably away from Dusk who seemed smug. “Aabinus, my love!” The lioness said with a forced yet nervous purr, giving her lover a quick nudge, she smiled slightly. “Me and…dusk was talking….” Velvey’s voice was low, and quiet.
Dusk nods “We were talking about your lack of having the proper parts…like dune and I, to properly breed Velvey here, who was coming towards her first heat.” Aabinus suddenly knew what was coming….the atmosphere instantly darkened and she blankly stared at her sister as she continued on. “As per mother’s law, each lioness must have at least one litter of cubs, preferably more but it's different depending on rank, Vevely being in the second rank…well, this isn't negotiable, I must breed your mate.” she seemed proud as she referenced the rules, her smile demeaning as they bore into Aabinus’. The ebony lioness didn't like this one bit. The shrieks in her head didn't help, either…she tried desperately for a split second to ignore them as they got painfully worse..
…
Traitor!
………..
….
Cheater!
…………
Liar…..liar…..LIARLIARLIARLIARLIAR….liar…..l…….i…ar……
Aabinus hissed as the shrieks converted into screams of words “NO!” she said suddenly,her tail lashing hastily behind her, she wouldn't let this happen, she never will! But her sister….was right…but she didn't care! “NO NO NO!” her voice was shallow yet filled with some sort of emotion….
Emotion…?
That can't be right…
Aabinus pasued, her body becoming ragged as she stands straight, her mind still wasn't quiet right but…
Her face was blank once more, the anger disappearing before her lips turned up in a slight grin.. She had to take care of this issue…without emotion…she couldn't show emotion, no, that was against the rules of this pride, she had to set an example! She calmly took a step near Dusk. “Sister…you should also know that I am the firstborn, and I am allowed to bend the rules, this also means….” her tail flicked towards velvey who was watching them nervously “velvey doesn't need to be bred.” she said with a slight snarl, and when dusk opened her mouth to speak Aabinus hissed, not wanting to hear her dumb pathetic voice….not one bit.
“SILENCE.” She said eyeing Dusk, her sister was trying too hard…to get close to Velvey! This irked Aabinus..her tail twitching aggressively…
…..
…………….
Silence filled the room, the shrieks in her head diminishing and finally…all three lionesses stood there, it seemed for a moment that everything was resolved but suddenly…like a snake, the ebony lioness lunged at Dusk easily pinning her on the ground.
The cave suddenly felt cold as the ebony lioness’ jaw tightened around dusk’s neck.her jaw tightened around her kin’s neck and she didn't hesitate... Filled with rage, not even calming down as the sweet metallic taste filled her mouth.. She had to get rid of Dusk....she was a threat to her and her mate...she was doing this for Velvey! Suddenly she was pushed, but she didn't budge, and instead glanced blankly at her lover she seemed frantic with panic and shock, trying desperately to stop Aabinus as she continued to tighten her hold on her withering sister, who frailed aggressively..
There was a long moment of her lover weakly trying to stop Aabinus, but it wouldn't work, Aabinus didn't let go….she refused…
…………………..
…..
…….
The ebony lioness looked down at her sister who laid there unmoving against the dirt and cold stone. Aabinus flexed her muscles slightly before letting go, she didn't feel anything as she looked at her lover, before walking away….Velvey was shocked, staring down at the corpse…it all happened so quickly- velvey always knew that her lover was easy to provoke and it didn't take much for her to kill or lash out…but her own sister?! Over something so….small? When everything was so calm just moments ago?
