Verlette had once been in a pride much like ones you see conquering the grasslands, rules by one male and taken care of by all the lionesses. one day Verlette was on a hunting mission with her other lionesses, thinking this was her chance to prove herself and take leadership she leaped onto the prey and killed it swiftly as she latched onto its back from above. tho the other lionesses turned their back onto her, thinking her behavior was uncalled for, that she had to let her higher ranks do all of the harder work, let her higher ranks do all the boasting and gleaming. that made her furious, yet craving the satisfaction of proving everything about them wrong, even if it meant she would also become flawed.
-+The hot and boiling, yet glorious oasis they called home had nearly twenty eight lions and lionesses all cooped up into one pride, and right in the middle Verlette and all the other lions sat before the acromia male lion named "Ah-ni" who lead the pride strongly and alone, with only one lead huntress taking charge behind him. days like these Verlette could feel her claws dig into the dirt listening to him speak, but by her side was a silver and orange lioness named "Kelvi", who was always there for her to keep her mind off of such frustrations. "Lionesses, Verlette, Bellson, Fawn, and me shall leave to track a herd of wilder-beast headed west, make sure to aim for the weaker members of the herd, leave the bulls alone and steer clear of horns." the strong voice of Kahavi, the lead huntress called out across the shade covered clearing.
As Verlette heard her name her ears perked in interest, tho not saying much as she left her friend to go join the gathered lionesses getting ready to get onto a hunt. "Bellson, Fawn" she said simply in a greeting, nodding her head to respects of the dark-grey and sunset colored lioness, and the rosette splattered cream and gold lioness, both being very formidable huntresses. as the huntress let out her parting grunt to the pride the group of lionesses went to scout the wilder-beast herd, following nearly until dusk before they were ready to start the hunt. Bellson and Fawn begin to flank the herd, steering them in the direction they were meant to go, shrieking of the females and calves being heard as they tried to flea in terror of the inevitable. just a Kahavi was about to take down one of the herd members a sound of crackling an be heard from the sky, startling the herd and distracting the lionesses as their prey scattered. "wait! no! we need to get them back together or we wont ever make the kill!"Scrambled Bellson as Fawn desperately swiped at a lagging calf. while this was all happening Verlette had strayed from the group, cornering a large female in a tight ravine not to far from the chaos. she let out a nasty growl from the pits of her throat ready to take down her prey and prove she was worthy as lead huntress one day.
as she was about to strike a gleam of lighting hit the earth nearby, causing the wilder-beast to rear up and kick her in the face, leaving her screeching and wailing in pain as the hunt had already been soiled, and the last of the wilder-beast scurried from the trench.
later as her group had found her wallowing with her wound ( TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW)
