[PRP] Firey Spirits [O'tep and Tariq]

[Yin-Bug]

A white body shifted balancing her weight on her small paws. She was smaller than female, but she had a spirit that now where near matched her size. So far she hadn't seen too much of her new master, but she knew that he knew about the way she acted. That idea made her smirk. She had yet to been broken by any male. They were wimps. Afraid to touch her small frame. She just laughed at them, quite literately some times, then she would go on her way back to doing what she was doing before. She could be a nice lioness, when it came to the other females she was very nice, starting conversation, humming quietly as they hung out, or even playing with the some times. And it was the same when it came to cubs. But with the way her father treated her in her past and ending up in this pride, she refused to be broke by a male.

Boy she didn't know what was coming in her future.

O'tep snorted as she sat back on her haunches. If he was such a big and bad male then where was his harem? Why was she seemingly the only one here? She was hoping that this would be her last stop, after this they might let her free, maybe she could get away from this hell and live her own life. Oh if only she knew. If only she knew what was coming her way.

She shifted herself once more sitting back a little more, making herself comfortable. She looked around at the den behind her. Her mind wandering. She was curious about this male but she had a feeling she was not going to be effected by him just like the other males in the pride. She wasn't going to be broken and she was sure of that. She flicked her tail around once more before lifting a back leg and scratching behind one of her ears lazily. Where was this male? She was getting tired of waiting.  

[[Eskimo]]

The scent of dry grass was strong that afternoon as Tariq'ra'd stalked back to his den.

There was an antelope leg happily situated between his teeth, its hoof flopping up and down with each powerful step the lion took. Pink eyes were flashing with excitement, and possibly hunger, and his gaze was focused on the Ukuucha'Wafalme lands riddled with dens ahead of him. His eyes found his own den, and he set his paws towards it.

Not at all long ago, a banu named O'tep had been passed on to him. He'd heard she acted almost like a Kajira at times--a feisty, rebellious sort--and Tariq was very happy to hear that. A grin lined his black face, shining above the antelope flesh in his mouth. He had gone out and made a kill, bringing the carcass back to the pride for himself and others. He was a decent guy, after all. Very decent. Always looking out for everyone's best interest...

He'd taken a leg off the antelope specifically for his new banu. It was a gift. For her. He had decided that he'd often bring his banu gifts. Whether she would be accepting of them and polite in receiving them was something only time would tell. But it was to be a part of Tariq's method and getting the female under his control. Only part of his method...For already, he had plotted how to break her.

A small cluster of birds took to the skies, crying out as Tariq walked through them to get to his den's entrance. With a lash of his tail, he walked inside. His eyes searched the shadows until he found white with blue stripes. Then he dropped the antelope leg on the ground, and smiled.

"Hello, O'tep." he said gently.  

[Yin-Bug]

She could smell him coming. A small smirk grew on the edges of her maw. Her light blue eyes flicked around, she couldn't see him yet, but she knew he was walking toward the den. She sat up more making herself look as important as she could, holding herself high and proud. Before she knew it she could see a flash of pink. Where those his eyes? Well it had to be him, very much. He was dark, very dark and well he was handsome, but that didn't matter to her. She wasn't going to let that change her mind. She didn't want be here and the worse she acted toward him the better chance she had at possibly not being here.

After the scent of him hit her nose soon the smell of blood, an dead animal hit her nose. It twitched in response was this male bringing her a gift? He was supposed to be the mean one in this pride. She snorted quietly in response. His smile... The look. The gift? What kind of male was this 'rough Vizier' this 'horrible Vizier' She couldn't pick up anything about him being mean, or any other things that she had heard some other lionesses describe him as. Or even what the males described him as. But she knew that what he was acting like now might not be the truth... She knew that for a hard fact. She had learned that growing up. It was a lesson she learned because of her father. She didn't remember half of her childhood. She didn't even know how she got here... She was pretty sure she was born in. She didn't even remember what happened to her father, after all the abuse he did that is. She was young...

She eyed him, half glaring at him, pulling herself away from her thoughts before speaking. "Hello." She was gruff and quick with her word, she was already planning on giving him a hard time. She knew she wanted to do it. She wasn't going to make this easy for him. Oh she was going to make this hell for her. If only she knew he was going to make it hell right back. She looked at the meat before making a face, she wasn't that sure if she wanted to eat his gift. she could hunt for herself if she wanted to. She looked back at him wondering what his reaction would be to the way she was already acting.  

[[Eskimo]]

Tariq'ra'd, trained as he was in the arts of reading expressions and body language, could see exactly what O'tep was thinking and feeling. Her actions relayed everything. Then again, he didn't think she was trying to hide it. No, on the contrary. She was shoving her rebellious nature in his face, daring him to do something about it.

Mm, what a dangerous game she was trying to start with him...He couldn't wait to start playing it.

Her greeting was rough and sharp; not at all like the soft, pleasant greeting a female should give her pad, or any male. But that was easily fixed. All in good time...No need to rush things along when there was so much fun to be had...

Tariq flashed a charming grin, pink eyes lighting with something untraceable.

"What's wrong? Don't you like antelope?" he asked boyishly.  

[Yin-Bug]

O'tep could feel some slight confusion set in. Infact she WAS testing him. She wanted so badly to see what he was going to do. She wanted to know what he was going to do. If he was going to do something she wanted to do it soon... So she could at least get an idea. To a point she really wanted to be punished no matter how strange it seemed she wanted to know Curiosity was getting the best of her. She fidgeted for a moment taking her mind off of it.

She stared at the meat before she made another face, following up her gaze up to his eye. She was more confused at his look It really threw her off. But she was going to ignore the look for the moment. She looked down at it and shook her head before looking him dead in the eye. "No. But I can and will catch my own meals when I'm hungry." She sat up just a little more before snorting a bit. "Your other little females might not be able to do it but I can." She flicked her tail behind her before pushing herself up to stand up. She stretched her front paws out for a moment eying him with a unsure face.

So this male didn't seem all too much like his reputation was supposed to be. She flicked her hair out of her eyes then slunk back a little more into the dark, thinking a bit. She flopped back down on her haunches making herself look as comfortable as she could as if she owned the place, she was saving some of the things that she could be doing to get under his skin for later. She had a lot of ideas running through her mind but she wasn't going to really push it right away.  

[[Eskimo]]

Ahhhh, so she was declaring herself an able hunter. That was good. He liked females that could take care of themselves. But her words were striking chords in the male's head; different, varying notes that sent different, varying signals. The inside of his mind was a complete mystery to anyone, but all you had to do was look into his eyes to know that he was always thinking...

"You've made a mistake in your words, O'tep." Tariq said lightly, not at all seeming mad; only sounding like he was trying to be helpful in pointing out an obvious error. He never took his eyes of the female as he stepped over the antelope leg. He padded over to her, smiling, unblinkingly staring at her arrogant form. Then, without warning, there was an almost invisible blur of black, and Tariq had the female's jaw clutched tightly in his right paw.

He jerked her to her feet, pulling her face as close to his own as possible, claws stretched and poking her maw. He held tightly, both her face and his paw trembling from the sheer strength he used to clutch the female's maw.

"You meant to say that you can and will hunt meals when I am hungry." he breathed quickly, his nose brushing hers at the closeness of their faces. He released her, but did not step back. "Now," he started, a slight smile inching onto his mouth. "say it the right way."  

[Yin-Bug]

O'tep was still waiting for the moment, waiting for him to do something to her. She was wondering what was going on int that mind of his. She flicked her tail behind herself a few times, like a whip. Watching his every word carefully.

Then he spoke, she couldn't tell anything from his voice but he was hiding what was coming next. She fought off the smirk. A challenge was coming her way. In her mind she was going to be out here any moment, of but she was wrong. She sat up a little more staring at him back that was until she was in front of him. She felt something on her maw, and it took her a moment to realize it was Tariq's paw. He was fast. She was soon on her feet, very surprised, trying to figure out what was going on. Her first reaction was to pull away quickly try to get away from his pull. She could feel herself get just slightly loose but when she tired it again she felt claws poke into her jaw. She cringed trying to ignore it before looking at him with the bold look that she had before.

She could feel his nose on hers. She looked up at him, her look becoming annoyed. When he released her she flopped down on her haunches once more with a snort. "Really? Are you sure that is what I said? Hmm? I'm pretty sure that I said what I meant." She started to laugh slightly amused at the idea. "Alright I'll say it the right way." She stood up and looked him dead in the eye. "I'll get my own ******** food. I'm just as capable as you are. You can get your little whores to get your food for you." She started to walk out of the den, her head held high walking very confidently, she had a feeling she wasn't going to get that far, to a point she was going to see how this was going to end up.  

[[Eskimo]]

Tariq laughed. He laughed loudly, almost hysterically.

He couldn't believe his ears.

It was all too perfect.

A subtle shudder rolled down his spine and he couldn't stop the grin that had taken over his face. His tongue trailed over his lips as he watched the female turn her back on him, nearing the den's entrance. His eyes wavered over her form, mind working around all the plans that formed in his head. He sorted his ideas, picked his poisons and stretched out his claws.

Before the female even got four steps away, Tariq was in front of her. There was no way any female could outrun or overpower him. Well...Maybe one...But definitely not this one.

Not O'tep.

Tariq slid forward, his face close to the female's once again.

"Oh, but you are one of my little whores, O'tep." he hissed, flashing a white grin. "And you will be until you die." He stepped forward again, leaving her only two options of either backing up, or letting his body press against hers. "And even then, I'll keep your bones." he said, lovingly, tragically, toying with her.  

[Yin-Bug]

This seemed to be going almost too well... Very much too well... But she wasn't going to let her thoughts about things going good distract her. She knew for a fact that it was all most likely a mask. Her father used to act like that some times. He'd act all sweet and loving and if she brought the wrong type of food to him she would be knocked out. But that was when she was the sweet obey everything O'tep. But now she wasn't. However the only thing she didn't know that was going to change.

She blinked for a moment when he was in front of her. A growl escaped her throat, her look very annoyed. She wasn't happy that he was doing this. Not at all. She stood her ground, she was smaller than him and she knew if he pushed her around... well she wouldn't be able to resist but she wasn't going to give up. She would stand back up every time. Or at least try to stand back up. "I am not one of those whores I will not do everything you tell me to do and I will not respect you or your whores." She felt his body being pressed against hers and she ignored it at first. She looked up at him with her eyes narrowed. "******** you will. You'll never own me. I might have been assigned to you but NO ONE owns me." She swiped at him with a hiss before sneering, another growl escaping her throat.  

[[Eskimo]]

Tariq closed his eyes, listening to the female's flaming words as if he were listening to a soothing lullaby. When his eyes flashed open again, they were different. They were lit up with something...strange. Something in him had changed.

The way she took everything he declared and spit it back up in his face was horrendously delighting.

Oh, he would own her...He already did. The next step was breaking her.

Her curses and hisses rolled through his ears, but before he could speak again, he felt air against his maw as the lioness swiped at him. It was like it happened in slow motion. Tariq's heart sped up, eyes watching the paw swipe at his face before landing on the ground. Tariq stepped back on step, head bowed and bangs shielding his eyes as he stared at the female's paw.

He was shivering.

Moments passed in silence. But then, the male raised his head, eyes catching the females in a pulling stare.

His face was contorted into a sick, twisted grin, body trembling at length.

"You really shouldn't have done that." he whimpered giddily.

And then he was upon her, powerful paws slamming repeatedly over her face, and body forcing her to the ground. He wouldn't draw blood...For now. Right now, he would just play. And he would see how she would retaliate. Because he knew she would retaliate.

And he couldn't wait to see what she would do.  

[Yin-Bug]

O'tep looked at the male with a blink, the flash in his eyes the way he moved, she knew it was coming. Finally, it took him long enough. She could still feel the feeling of her claws in her maw. She smirked softly. But then he stepped back, the bangs over his eyes made her really wonder what was going on in his mind. The shivering, the silence, then the face, she knew the face. Her father used to do that face when she was little. When she fought back the first few times, or even just randomly she would used to see that face. She growled once more at his words. "Whatever." She snapped back.

But then she felt the first hit on her face. Her head flipped to the side then snarled, then another hit, another hit and another hit. There was more than that but it took a lot before she was on the ground. She knew to take as much as she could at first before fighting back. She'd let the rage, take over, she'd wait and save her energy. She'd rather wait until he was some what tired before she decided to hit back. <********!" She snarled then she flailed her paws out, her claws extended, claws running down his face. She loved the feeling, she hadn't hit anyone in a while. She didn't have to fight with the other males, no they gave up to fast, she knew that this was going to be more of a challenge. However she was going to make him give up.

Or that was what she thought.  

[[Eskimo]]

The pain didn't register in Tariq's mind as the female's claws drew lines of blood across his face. He had been through so much pain in the past, a weak little slice like that was less than the flutter of a butterfly kiss.

O'tep was weak.

But she thought she was strong.

That was a winning combination in Tariq's mind, and though any male would've been appalled at such a blatant act of violent rebelliousness the female displayed, Tariq was flustered and grinning.

Only one swipe, O'tep? he thought to himself, amused. Only one swipe?

One swipe or not, Tariq'ra'd wasn't going to give her any more room for more blows. Drawing blood the one time was all the male would allow. It was time to end their dance of disagreements, and leave O'tep helpless.

Not that she already wasn't...

Everything Tariq began to do happened in mere seconds. Claws flexing, the male slashed O'tep across the face. Then he slashed her on the other side of her face. And when he saw an opening, he grabbed both her shoulders and ripped his claws into them simultaneously, making it so that any slashing retaliation from the female would be nearly impossible due to the pain.

Blood splattered over his black paws, Tariq rammed into the lioness, knocking her off her feet. He settled himself on top of her and pressed a bloodied paw down on her throat, hard, pressure cutting off her breathing.

"I think you need a nap, my dear." Tariq said, smiling.  

[Yin-Bug]

O'tep didn't know what was coming. She had a feeling she should have hit him more than once. she knew it and she was going to be hitting herself for it later. She snarled once more she was about to raise another paw, about to swipe at him once more but he beat her to it. She let out a roar of pain at the feeling of claws on her face, then once more on the other side of her face. She wasn't much of one to scream, oh no. That showed weakness to much. So much more than roaring would and even though she was smaller and probably would never do that much damage as he ever would she knew in her mind that she wasn't weak. He might have thought that though.

However she wasn't going to be broken this easily.

She held her breath as she felt claws into her shoulders. She bit her tongue, the pain, it hurt a lot. She tired to not express it once more. She had already shown the pain once, she wasn't going to do it again. Then she was on the ground, it was all happening so fast. She took in a breath just in time to have a paw held down hard on her neck. She growled struggling to take another breath. "********... y-ou." She gasped, she couldn't moved her front paws however she flailed her back paws out, trying to use her legs to pry him off of her, or at least she was trying to dig her back claws into him. She could feel them brush against them, not that sure of how much damage she did. She wasn't going to go out with out more of a fight that she had already given. It wasn't enough in her eyes.  

[[Eskimo]]

Tariq had seen that coming; kicking her back legs up. It was only a natural response when one's front limbs were rendered useless. It was instinct. Tariq had gone through the same thing many, many times in the past. But unfortunately for O'tep, being tired and losing consciousness due to lack of oxygen, as well as being weaker than Tariq to begin with, her kicks didn't do as much damage to Tariq as she probably wanted to do.

A choking laugh found its way of of the male's mouth, his amusement never ceasing.

"Sorry, but that's not gonna work." he informed her, not budging an inch from her flailing kicks. He pressed his right paw down harder on her throat, getting impatient. "Are you gonna do what I say and go to sleep now?" he murmured, observing her like he was performing an interesting experiment. He brought his left paw up to his mouth, licking the bloodied claws like one would eat popcorn whilst watching a movie.  

[Yin-Bug]

She wasn't happy with the fact that she was losing. She was trying to hold on. Even as he put more pressure on her throat she could feel that she was going to lose this fight. It only she knew she would lose every fight. Another growl escaped her throat. She tried to flail out her back paws a few more times. But if failed her. She didn't like his amusement with her being held down. She was having a harder and harder time breathing.

She stared at him. His words made her angry. She could feel her breathing start to slow and her eye lids started to feel heavy with sleep. But she wasn't going to give up like that. She looked up at him once more and narrowed her eyes before spitting in his face. A sneer crossed her lips but she could feel the pressure get more heavy on her and her eyes closed for sleep. She was going to have to wait for round two. This wasn't going to be easy...
