Kalfra had been looking for a particular leopard who had escaped her. She would not have that! How dare he vanish from her without saying a god damn thing. She'll cut his throat out with her claws. Oh yes... she was not happy. She had leads telling her that he went into this lands, of course, she wasn't sure how WELL they were. They were from birds after all, but after she had killed one, they had been more than happy to share a bit of what they knew.
The yelling would start as soon as she saw Thonas, that little white leopard male who got away. She'd not let him get away again. She was determined. Her mind was clouded by her own love for him. Perhaps, even a bit of hate for him as well. He was like no male she'd ever met. He was so mean, so.... cruel, and yet she was attracted to that fact. She wanted him to be mean, wanted him to be cruel. Not really towards her, but anyone in general.
Her tail flicked back and forth as the fluff upon her head bounced with every step she took while running the way she was pointed. It had been too long since the last time she saw his gorgeously evil face. She must stop thinking like this, it was just making her more and more angry. She'd end up beating the crap out of him when she actually DID find him. Wasn't probably the best for her to do, but it wasn't like she could help it. It was all Thonas fault. His stupid, stupid headness. She just wanted to beat him up, then take care of him after he became bloody and hurt. Little did she know she was running straight into a plague.
Thona had decided it was time to think about the plague away from his pride members. In other words, he decided it was time to take a small walk around the lands. He had to take things in, to recollect himself and try to end the issue that was popping up without him wanting to. So far only a few were sick, at least from what he saw before disappearing for a while. Things were getting more complicated by the moment, and he didn't want to let anyone see his confusion, his fear, or anything else that might make him look weak.
Was that Hybrid a sign of some type? No. He didn't believe that at all, it was just chance. She wanted to tell him something, he saw it in her eyes... but she had no strength, and then she was dead. Was that what was going to happen to his pride? Everyone was going to die? Or could he over come it all and become stronger because of it? So many questions and none he could answer. He needed someone who knew what this was, who knew how to beat it with some type of plant.
He had to FIND someone actually useful.... Today wasn't that day.
It didn't take long before Kalfra had spotted someone else. At first she thought it was Thonas, but soon she realized it was some other leopard. She frowned. That was NOT what she wanted, though she could probably get information from him. He looked like he was someone important in this lands. She had heard there was a pack or pride of some sort around here lead by a leopard. She wasn't sure what that leopard looked like, but perhaps this guy knew what she wanted to know. And he was also coming from the direction she thought she was suppose to go. Excellent.
No doubt he'd have answers or her, if not she'd beat them out of him. She got closer to him as she picked up her pace, she stopped short a few feet before panting and looking at the male with angry eyes. She was angry at Thonas, not this male, why did she feel like beating him up just as bad. it was almost like she knew this male like she knew Thonas. She wanted to yell at him, but she kept her cool and caught her breath. Finally after a moment she spoke. "You.... Sir..... Thonas... Where?" Of course not really how she wanted that sentence to come out, she was still breathing hard from the amount of running she had done.
"I'm looking.... for a leopard" She finally said. "Named Thonas"
Thona wasn't pleased to see this new addition to his lands, at least not at a time like this. She looked like she could be someone from his own lines, yet not. He almost wanted to snarl at her, but she was no leopard with spots. He would have attacked her if she was. As she spoke, he just watched her. She seemed like she had gone a lot of trouble to find his idiot son. Someone who looked more and more like he was following in Thona's foot steps. It was exactly what he wanted Thonas to do. It shouldn't surprise him that his son also fell for a lioness, or perhaps the lioness just feel for him. It didn't matter to him really.
Thonas was to be heir, and if this was who he ended up with that was his business. Though Thona didn't want any weak female to be with his son, he'd have to watch her closely and see if she got sick when around his pride. "You're looking for my son?" He raised a brow and looked her up and down. He didn't think he liked her much, but showing it around Thonas might make him more likely to want her.
Her eyes got huge. HE KNOWS HIM! HE'S HIS DAD? Homg... How lucky could she get? This was great, a grin crossed her face when she beamed at the other as if he's going to tell her EXACTLY where he is. If he doesn't, well, she'd just beat him up. Even if she didn't know that he'd probably kill her in the process of her trying to beat him up. She flicked his tail, still looking at him as if expecting him to tell her more than he had already told her. After a few moments of silence, she decided it was time that she spoke. "Well, and where is he?"
She was impatient, after all she had been looking for him for many long months. At least, in her mind it was many long months. She was at the moment of desperation, in her mind. She needed to see him, she NEEDED To hear his voice. Well, no, she didn't, but she would like to and nothing was going to stop her. Not this male, not anything... She was stalking Thonas...
This was Thona's own little test to see if she could live up to a kings expectations, though little did Thona know, Nan would be getting sick shortly soon as well. Something he was dreading already, but didn't think would ever happen. Never his Nande. His mind was on the spotted female in front of him. He could basically smell her impatience on her, though wanted to let her sit there for a few more minutes before telling her where to find him. Of course, she wouldn't be pleased to see what she was going to see. That, however, wasn't his problem. If she couldn't handle seeing sick things, she should leave. He doubted she would...
"I can't say exactly where he is." He simply said with a shrug. He was obviously helping with the sick pride landers, or hiding from them like He was. Perhaps he was actually making himself useful. That'd be a first. Thona didn't worry about getting sick too, he just worried about the questions that would be floating around if they saw his look when he was trying to figure out what to do. He couldn't afford all his worked to be questioned and over thrown. No, he needed to seem more strong and fierce. He needed to stop this before it got worse, before one of his own members got sick.
She didn't care that this male didn't know EXACTLY where he was, just the general area, as well as last location of him would be just as good. Though, she still couldn't believe that this male was Thonas dad. He never spoke about him when she was stalking him secretly or when she wasn't being sneaky about it. Perhaps he was a touchy subject, or his father was just like Thonas. She didn't care regardless, he wasn't who she wanted. She flicked her tail and eyed him for a moment.
"Look buddy, I just want to know where he is in general, not exactly. Either way I'll find him. With or without your help." She said with a growl. "It would just be a lot easier if you helped me out a little." She put her serious face on and looked at him with a hard look, how dare he play games with her. It was like she wasn't at all in his mind, what was this male's problem. Didn't he know how serious this was, she needed to know, and by golly she was going to find out. "I need to beat his a** for leaving me." She told him.
Thona raised a brow while looking at her. Well, this just got more interesting by the minute. His thoughts about the pride vanished for a moment and a smirk crossed his face. It would be rather amusing to see a female, let alone a lioness, beat the s**t out of his son. He wasn't about to pass that moment up at all. "How about.... I show you where he is." He said with a chuckle. He didn't want to miss what could happen, then again, moods could change as they got closer to his pride.
Death lingered in the air, he could smell it, and he was sure she could too. The smell of sickness, and rotting. It wasn't something that he wanted around his pride, let alone in it. He jerked his head towards the way he had come. "This way." He said before turning around and walking towards his pride. It felt like there was a huge cloud over his lands. A cloud that was suffocating everyone and causing this plague upon them.
She won again, or at least she thought she did. She didn't smell anything in the air but victory. She was going to be with Thonas in no time. Not that Thonas wouldn't be too thrilled about it, she bet he would probably get angry after the fact she was going to beat the s**t out of him. She was so angry, yet happy at the same time. Mixed feelings were the worse. How could he make her feel like she hated him, yet made her feel happy around him? It was so confusing and it irritated her more. She wished she didn't have that feeling around him. It drove her crazy. It made her feel crazy. She wasn't like this until she saw him.
He must have put a spell on her. Only answer. Yes. Even with that answer, however, she didn't want it undone. She silently followed the male that said he was Thonas' dad, maybe he had tricked her and didn't know who she was talking to at all, and that was why she was following him. He did seem creepy and weird at first, but then there's still that feeling as if it's true that he is Thonas' father. She just couldn't put it.
