Abused as a cub, Jakara ran away, badly injured and bleeding to much for his own good. He got more dizzy by the second until he finally collapsed. He was so desperate to get away from his former clan that he tried to drag himself. Blood soaked the earth around him as he tried and tried to get up. Close to death and exhausted, Jakara finally gave up. Struggling for breath with his eyelids heavy with death just around the corner Jakara could only just see a adult lion running towards him, he tried fight back, mistaking the lion for someone in his former clan. But his struggles were becoming weaker, his heart was starting to falter from lack of blood. Suddenly he went limp, and all was dark, all was black, all was...quiet.
[FIRST PERSON]
"Where is the poor dear" a voice that sounded like mum filled my ears. Where was I ? "Oh look! He's alive! Look his paws are moving!" The voice spoke again. "Mother?" I was barely audible "Awww, poor thing thinks I'm his mum" I opened my eyes slowly, light almost blinding me as I tried to blink it away. When I adjusted to the light, I could see two feminine faces, looking at me. I scrambled to my paws, hunched my back and hissed at them, my furry body sticking up like some wild thing that forgot to groom itself. "Stay BACK!" Spit flying everywhere as I spoke, the two lionesses were taken aback by my ferocity. 'Good, they should be afraid of me' I thought to myself. They both burst out laughing, what was I to them, some sort of joke?!? Anger flared up in me, I lashed out on them leaving small but painfull cuts and bruises on them. I would have teared them apart if not for the huge slash across my neck, it was already bleeding from me moving my neck too much. It started to burn in pain, but I refused to show these chuckling sh$theads my pain.
[BLACKMAMBA'S PERSPECTIVE]
I run towards the distress calls coming from the medic's den, my heart pounding has there been an attack? has hyenas come to steal Lalia's newborn cubs? what has happened? as I enter i see Denika and Ashes cowering in the corner and the hairy cub, that I had found while exploring, hissing as if he were a snake. "STAY BACK" he yelled, damn he was loud for a cub. "I'm warning you i WILL slit your throat if you don't leave me ALONE!" all his hairs were pointing straight up, now he looked like a porcupine. "hey hey hey kid" I started "we're just trying to help.." " HELP what, HELP me DIE! that makes sense, everyone Hates me because i'm weird. how the hell am i supposed to trust you" his tone was icy and cruel. Blood soaked in his fur and the nest, scars covering his body, most of them still fresh. "Tell us what happened to you." I asked the dark cub, "Why did I find you almost dead in the middle of nowhere?" His pink little eyes held behind a history filled with depression, anger and pain as they stared into mine. when he finally stood down, he opened his mouth to speak.
[JAKARA'S PERSPECTIVE]
WORKING ON THIS AT THIS TIME NOW
"When i was born," I took a breath. "When i was born everyone frowned upon me for what i looked like." i shuddered as memory's flooded my head. "overgrown fur, extra large teeth... barley any tail" all three of them instinctively looked at where my tail should have been. "They called me a monster" my gaze fell on the ground "they didn't want me around, they wanted to hurt me, they didn't, love me." tears formed at my eyes, starting to leak out of their sockets. "Awww dear," the pale lioness with the brown tail cooed to me. "Its ok,we're here for you." my instincts told me to scream that she was a liar, but something was in her eyes. Something that made me feel i could trust her, something that made me feel at home. I just looked away after. "5 months of torture continued until i found a way to escape. and then i ran for it, a lot of them chased after me. i ran for days upon days, 7 to be exact. i was very tired, hungry and dehydrated. they had only caught up to me once though, thats where i got most of these fresh cuts and bruises from." i suddenly remembered where i was and added angrily " Now leave me alone."
[TWO YEARS LATER]
The wind carried scent of rabbit, as i followed it I tried to soften my steps as to not scare it away. my mouth watered at the thought of a good lunch. as I made my way around the clearing i was quite visible since I didn't have a sandy pelt like Beth, i kept at my pace until i felt twigs and leaves on the ground. I suddenly stopped in my tracks, there it was right in front of me, it was, dead. it looked quite mangled, but none of it had been eaten. who in the fucked up mind would do this, its such a waste. Ahh well, my food. i went to grab the meal but the ground fell before me and i landed head first... {I WILL FINISH THIS ON THE 9TH OF FEBRUARY... IF I HAVE TIME IN CLASS... OTHERWISE WHEN I GET HOME}
