Mistyc

Mistyc, is a unique girl. She was born as red as the blood in your veins, but as she got older, she became to like the dark side.. Just a little.. And her onyx marks from her parents shun through her bloody base. She is a pretty girl, a little rough around the edges but shes a genuine girl. She misses her old pride, her family and the boy she grew up with. Her best friend, and her brother.

Mistyc was her own friend, she was the only one she could trust, even though the lions here were nice and friendly, there were rude girls also.. There was two people she sort of got along with, but wouldnt dare tell them a personal secret or story.. A maroon girl, her name was Rasberry, tend to talk to her alot, at first Mistyc thought she was annoying, but she got used to her. On this particular day, the girls under 2 years old went out training to hunt with the older females. Mistyc and Rasberry stayed at the back. "Oi, berry, do you wanna ditch this?" Mistyc honeslty thought she would say no, but either way she was leaving. The maroon girl kept her eyes forward, but spoke agiley. "Yes please. I dunno, but Ive never liked Lilacfire. Shes too sweet." Mistyc and Rasberry fell back into the shrubs behind them, wandering down to the waterhole. They sat in silence, when everntually it became awkward. Rasberry spoke up first. "I do like it here. Meaning in this pride. I just miss my family, ya know?" Mistyc turned and looked at her. "Yeah, me too. Not my parents so much.. They disowned me just after I turned 10 months old. My aunt took me in until I left." Mistyc tried to sound like she didnt care, but tears welled up in her eyes. Rasberry could tell it was mostly an act. "What for? Thats disgusting." "Its a long story. Boring." Mistyc left it at that, and refused to let Rasberry know anything more about her, ad that didnt seem to bother Rasberry. Mystery was their thing. Rasberry lay down in the shade, closing her eyes to try and rest, while Mistyc sat by the waterhole edge, watching the reflections of the monkeys and birds above. She was jerked back into that moment when a voice came out from across the water. "Hello miss." It was a large, adol black male. He had a deep voice. He looked rough, ruggered and simply a little sexy concerning Mistyc. "Afternoon." She observed him from the corner of her eye. he caught her looking and just gave her a half smile. "Shouldn't you be with your mother learning to hunt or something?" Was he serious? He was joking.. Surely. "Haha! No. I dont hunt." She meant it too. She'd rather look after multiple cubs for 12 months then chase food all day. "Is that so. And here I thought all females were the same." He sounded sly.. But had a slight husky voice. "Well obviously Im different? Otherwise I'd be in the middle of my pride licking the lead huntreses ass for advice." She snickered, feeling a bit rude, but like Rasberry said, Lilacfire was too nice.. She had to have a bad side.. Especailly with those sly eyes. Mistyc looked back to him, and the rogue had began walking over to her, slowly but in a fast movement. "Uh huh. You strike me as a girl who likes danger.. No?" By the end of his question, he was infront of her, watching her movements. "Danger? Its my hobby." She was serious, and he could tell she was too. "Oh really." Mistyc could feel his breath on her face, it was hot and dry. She looked up at him and he looked back at her. "Soo.." Mistyc whispered it to him. He opened his mouth to reply. *ROAR!* Mistyc and the male jumped and looked to where the roar came from. "Mistyc! Step back!" Fyrestar was furious. Rasbery then soon was wide awake. All she could do was drop her jaw open, in the shape of an "O". Fyrestar ran upto the male and smacked him in the face. The rogue fell back but got back up. "Leave. Before I make you." The rogue looked past Fyrestar to Mistyc and smiled to her. Fyrestar jumped into his line of vision. "Go." The male turned around and ran back to wherever he came from. Fyrestar gave Mistyc a look and roared almost in her face. "What do you think you're doing? Letting a rogue into our land!!" Mistyc stepped back. "Um.. 1. Your mothers told sus the story of your deadbeat father who wasa rogue, that makes you a hypocrite. 2. He didnt hurt me, or ask for anything. 3. Dont ever roar in my face again. I'll be forced to speak to the market leader." She then gave him a look and walked away with Rasberry.

Mistyc was refused to leave her den, only to eat, drink and go to the toilet. She was aloud no visitors, and Fyrestars son, Diablo, was forced to become her escort. "Mistyc? I brought back a lunk of food for you, I realise you don't like socialising." Diablo passed the meat over to her. "Thanks, and yeah, after my whole rogue situation, everyones back to not liking me." It didnt bother her, only the fact that her friend, Rasberry, didnt know the true story, only what Fyrestar had told her, which was that I was going to let a rogue take over our pride. Which was no where near the truth. "Except for that cocoa maroon girl? She comes here almost every day once you and the whole pride are asleep." Mistyc was surprised. "Really? If anyone asks Im taking a piss, okay?" Mistyc slipped past Diablo. "Uh.. Okay?" Mistyc ran off to where Rasberry normally is, under an acacia tree, surrounded by shrubs. "Hey dude." Mistyc spoke quitely but loud enough for Rasberry to hear. "Mist? Woah, you are so not here right now!" "Shush, Diablo let me sneak out, I wanna explain what happened." Mistyc told her that she was just flirting with him, being harmless when Fyrestar took it out of hand. Rasberry understood, and beleievd her.

25/06/14: Aged 1 year and 9 months
Mistyc was finally back into the open and out of solitary confinement. "That was the crappiest month of my life.." Mistyc whinged to Fyrestar, hoping to see she meant no harm. "He couldve killed you in the swipe of a paw. Imagine how much grief the pride would then have to deal with. Mocha only recently passed on." All Mistyc thought was blah, blah, blah. "Yes, I know. I'm sorry, but he's harmless. Really." She smiled and began to walk off. "Do you know him? Or did you know him from your previous pride?" 'No' she thought. So she lied. "Yeah, hes my age, he mustve left not too long after me." She tried to keep a steady gaze on her king, she was good at lying, but she didnt know if Fyrestar would believe her or not. "Hmph. Okay, if thats the truth, which I hope it is, just don't let another rogue into this land." He gave her a stern behave look. "Ugh. That was techincal." Mistyc walked down to the waterhole, half wanting a drink and hoping to see 'her' rogue. "Mist! C'mon, we actually get to hunt today, were going to the plains. Not that I want to hunt, but maybe find a cute boy." She winked at Mistyc, all she did was laugh. "Okay, lets go." She still urged to see the rogue. As they got to the plains, they got to pick a partner, and obvisouly Rasberry and Mistyc were together. "Berry, c'mon." Mistyc turned to walk behind the back of the waterhole, but she turned to see more than she wanted. "Oh.." She saw the black male she'd seen a few months ago.. He was with a golden female. She thoguht to herself. 'Maybe he's just wooing her.. Or needing attention.' Mistyc began to walk towards the two. "Uh hey.." She seemed shy, but only because of the other girl. "Mm Mistyc. Hello." When he spoke her name, she got shivers all through her body. "How do you know my name?" "Your king yelled it loud enough for the whole area to hear." The golden female made a loud grunting noise. "Can we go?" She asked impatiently. The male turned to her and said "Leave if youre bored. Your pridesisters are waiting." Mistyc almost gagged. Pridesisters? Wait.. "Youre a king?" She blurted it, but not intentionally. She golden female scoffed and trotted off. The male turned to her and gave a snicker. "No, I have interupted a near pride, that girl back there, she wants to leave, but i dont know, shes not really my type, bit snotty for a golden. Her pride are all smitten with me." He was a bit cocky, but Mistyc liked it. She took in his dark coat, but realised, he has a fiery smudge underneath all of it. She looked harder. "You're one of the four..." She looked up to him and he just smiled. "Theres more than four of us now." He winked. "My parents were dark bases, but my father had the fiery mark, from his father and so on, I inherited it and yeah." "Woah." This just mader her like him even more. "Is that your pride?" She turned and looked at them. "Yeah.." "Thats a lot of orange." He was referring to the fact that Fyrestars pride consisted of fierys. "Yep. Theres like 4 prunes." She smiled up at him. "Hm, wnder why? Prunes are beautiful." Did he just compliment her? She blushed, not that he could tell from her already blood red cheeks. "Come with me?" He asked so politely, how could she say no? As he began walking off infront of her, she turned back to Rasberry, she was jumping up and down with excitment. She mouthed. 'Oh my god' and she continued laughing. "Hey um, can I know your name?" He turned and looked at her. "Mm, okay.. Its Damen." He shrugged and laid down. She thought about it, yeah it suits him. She laid down opposite of him. He had closed his eyes, but opened them soon after she laid down. "So, Mistyc, maybe we could run away." It wasnt a question, and even if it was, she couldnt leave, Fyrestar would hunt her down. "Are you kidding, or being serious?" She was quite curious to hear his answer. "Not right now, you're too young, I turn two in a few days, maybe you could join me?" She didnt think, but just asked. "Why?" He looked a little surprised.. "Why what?" He now looked concrned, like as if I say no, he'd be upset. "Why me?" "I like you, youre outgoing, funny, know what you want, and youre quite honeslty, easy on the eyes." He smiled at her, it wasnt seedy or in any way creepy, it was a genuine nice smile. So she smiled with him. "Youre not so bad either, but I cant leave.." He got up and walked over to her. "Why not? I dont want to be on of those lions who mates with every female he sees trying to find The One, because I've already found mine, and I dont want to lose her." He shot her a quick look but then followed his gaze to the ground. Mistyc was speachless.. "Wow.. Thats very forward.. And I feel the same.. I think.. Ive never loved anyone before, like this I mean.. But I already have a pride.. I cant just leave it for you, you should join us. Please. I cant come with you, but you can come with me." He walked a few steps closer to her, and put his head on hers. "Okay. But only for you." She knew he was being serious. She just hoped Fyrestar wouldnt flip his pot.

"You want to what?" Fyrestar was once again, yelling. "Mistyc please. Dont be stupid. Hes a rogue, nothing more." Mistyc couldnt believe it. "This again? Ive explained this to you, just because you wre born into the pride you got the thrown, what if you werent born into it? Darkflame, a rogue, who Silvermoon took in, and trained to be king. He would be standing here now, not you." She spat every word at him. "Dont you dar-" "Fyre! Get back." It was Lilacfire, Fyrestar's mum, and not too far behind was Silvercoat, out queen. "Mother!" "Fyre, stand down, you know the girls right." Mistyc stepped forward again. "Fyrestar, you want to know what I think? You'll never be half the king Silvermoon or Darkflame ever would be." Mistyc really cut him deep tht time. There was even a tear, but she didnt care, he was being petty and a hyprocite. "Fine. If this male is willing to obey our rules as a pride, the fine. Ill give him two weeks and if Im not happy, hes out." Silvercoat then stepped forward, she whispered something to Fyrestar and he disapeared. "Mistyc, you can be.." "Damen's." "Yes, Damens, escort. Show him around, tell him some pride stories and make sure he feels welcome." Lilacfire and Silvercoat turned away and back towards the prde. Mistyc bounded off to retrieve Damen."Hey! You're in!" He ran up to her and hugged her. He didnt say anything, but actions meant much more than words. She could tell her was happy, as she was.

28/06/14: Aged 2 years
"Damen..?" She spoke quietly and sweetly, only for him to hear. She poked around her den for him, she'd convinced Silvercoat to let them share a den, "Damen. Where are you?" It was early in the morning, no one was up yet, not even the flamigos had began getting around. The light dawning sun let her see around a little, but he wasnt here. She was sure of it. She wandered out of the den, sniffing for any trace of him. She caught his scent, and followed it, leading it to the waterhole. She stopped, soon catching the scent of another female.. 'Ugh' she thought, 'its that golden female', She decided to listen for any voices, they were muffled, but it wasnt hard. "Leave. Now. You cant be here." It was Damen's she heard first. "Excuse me? You said you'd come back for me!" She didnt quite yell, but it was loud enough to wake the hornbill above her in the trees. It rustled about in the branches. "You know I was a jerk, and that I would never be able to handle all you snobby little things." The golden soon snapped back. "We ALL waited for you. We were ready to be yours, and to have your cubs." The girl made a snotted noise. Mistyc was so jealous she couldve spat. "I didnt want your cubs, girl." Mistyc almost laughed. Damen continued. "I dont want, nor need you. Just leave. Before someone makes you." 'thats my que' Mistyc thought. She walked out so the two could see her, the golden was wide eyed while Damen was speachless, gazing over as he hadn't seen her transform into the beautiful adult she now was. "Mist.. You-" "You again! What the hell. Are you stalking me?" The golden looked like she was serious. "Stalking you? Ha! I'm looking for Damen, actually." Mistyc spat the words. "You think he'd be interested in you? Red freak!" Damen then stepped in, obvisouly aggrivated. "Mistyc isnt a freak. Shes beautiful." The golden female was shocked. She didnt speak, but just teared up and ran off. Damen then turned to Mistyc. "Im sorry. She was at the opening of our den." Mistyc liked how he called it 'our den'. It made her feel warm and loved. "Its okay, I believe you, I mean, who can resist you?" She winked at him, really meaning it, she couldnt help but love him. "Hm, so what, you just can't resist me?" Mistyc didnt know what he meant.. She just looked at him. "I mean. Are you only keeping me around because youre infatuated with me, and just want me around to keep as a trophy?" Woah. That was not expected. "What? No! I.. I." "You what? I mean, I've been around for like 2 months now, and you have barely spent any time with me.. Why?" "Damen.." She stopped to look at him.. She looked at him with sorrow eyes. "I think I love you.." Damen walked over to her. Puttin his head on hers, "And I love you."

"Mist, wake up!" Mistyc rolled over and looked up to Damen. "Yeah?" She yawned, he always woke her up early. "Im leaving." Hey eyes nearly popped out of her head. "What?!" She stood up, and looked him up and down. "No no, not like that, I'm going on patrol. Fyrestar is taking me on a trip. I'm going to tell him the truth, that you and I dont know each other outside this pride, and that I love you." He swallowed hard.. "I suppose its a good idea.. But what if he retaliates and kicks you out?" She had a feeling that might be the case. "If he kicks me out, you can come with me, youre old enough now. We can start our own pride.. And we can even bring Rasberry, she'll love to join." "I know, we could, but my life is here. I cant just leave!" She was almost yelling, but she didnt want to anger him. "Okay, well, we'll see wha happens. If i come back then everything okay, and if I dont, well I'll get to you." And just like that, he left, but not before licking her cheek. Once he was gone, she whispered to herself, 'bye' .

"Damen, I can't fight against Fyrestar, hes my king and yours too. Please, dont get angry over this!" Damen just growled even louder. "I dont want to see you walking around with a belly full of cubs which arent mine! Dont you get that?!" She cringled at his voice, it was getting increasingly loud. "I do get that, you know I do, but Fyrestar needs his females, his subjects to bring in other genes from other males, that way everyones happy.." She went to go on, but Damen cut in way before she could continue. "Everyone except me, your mate!!" His eyes, which were natrually red, had somehow gone dark, almsot a dark brown. "Damen.. Please calm down, you'll be scaring all the cubs, and hey, when I have these cubs, they wont know their father, and if you accept me having cubs, then you can step in for them.." Damen just sighed. "Mist, please, dont go." Mistyc wanted to tell him how she'll miss him while shes gone, but before she could even start, Fyrestar was infront of the couple. "Damen, youre causing a commotion. The females are complaining, your causing some young cubs to stricken. Youre scaring them." Fyrestar was stern, and Damen didnt mean to scare the cubs, he loves little ones. "Sorry sir, Im just upset. I shouldnt have taken it out this way." Mistyc watched on as Damen bowed to his King, as she soon did after. "Mistyc, the other females are waiting for you, you'll arrive at the lions market within a few days. I'll keep Damen busy." Fyrestar smiled wide toawards her, soon leaving. "Mistyc." She shuddered at hearing her name, her full name come from his lips. "I love you. Dont let any ole stud get you pregnant, choose someone you think will give you, us, beautiful cubs, okay? But no just in looks, in personality." She awed at him, drinking in his whole body, his huge mane, his fiery undermarks, and those big beautiful red eyes. A smile slinked onto her face, making her forget she wasa leaving him.. But she no sooner remembered. "I love you also, and I wont, I'll spend as much time as I can getting to know them before anything goes any further." She turned to her pride-sisters, awaiting for them to join so they could leave. Mistyc couldnt bear to turn around and see Damens face as she walked off and left him behind.

6/7/14: Aged 2 years and 7 months
Mistyc slinked into the prideslands, with her other female friends who are now also heavily pregnant. Damens the first to see the group, immediatley running towards Mistyc, but slowing down before he makes contact with her. He soflty and carefully nuzzles into her. "Wow, how I've missed you." She looked up to him, "I missed you too, but before I say anything else, can you get me back to our den, my feet are killing me, and as you can see, I'm quite weighed down." She smiled, but in turth, she ached, everywhere. Damen could see it, so he helped her all the way back to the den. Mistyc laid down, and watched as Damen fussed over her, making sure everything was perfect. "Damen, calm down, this is ridiculous, just come lay down." He looked at her, full of sympathy. "I shouldnt have let you go, I shouldve kept you here." "It wouldnt be any different." She didnt need to explain, he knew what she meant. "Ugh. I know, but you look like youre in pain." She was, but she wasnt about to admit that to him.
