Resting on one of the many rocks around the stream, the white juvenile was pawing at the water. Lime green eyes watched the silvery fish swim away from her paws as Sevati giggled. While she didn't try to catch the fish, she was just toying with them. Lately, she had noticed that Ausi and her father had gone off somewhere and she hasn't seen them in a few days. She hoped they were alright and that they would come back because she missed both of them greatly! Her muscles bunched up before she pounced into the water and played with the fishes.

“Hey Sevy.”
*Out of nowhere Ausi appeared. Her paws were a bit muddy and a coy smirk fell across her maw as she moved closer to the pale sidling. Ausi had been moving around a lot. She would leave to spend time with Fedha… then she would come home to see her sister, and then leave again to scout out possible places for her and the rest of her family to move to. It became apparent that her father was not welcomed here… so they were going to find a better place… a place that was more accepting.
Moving herself to stand in front of her sister Ausi spoke out.*
“We are leaving here soon Sevy. Father and I found a new home for all of us.”
*Ausi let it out dully… to her it wasn’t a big deal.*

Her sister appeared in front of her as Sevati smiled, it was good to see her. Just as she was about to greet her, her sister said something that made her freeze. Wide-eyed like a doe caught in headlights, the white juvenile could literally feel her world just crashing down before her. Speechless, she tried to speak but the words came out in a stutter. "Wh..wha...what?! Th..this is a joke! We can't leave!" Lime green eyes start to water as she stood there in the stream, soak and wet.

“We have to.”
*Ausi started softly. She wanted to help her sister feel better… but Sevy didn’t understand why they had to leave…*
“No one wants us here. Not a one of them. Its father, he is not like them, he has red fur… we have red fur. We are not wanted here.”
*As she spoke she moved herself closer to her sister, in hopes of making her feel better.*
“It has to be done. We found a place by the ocean..”

Ears flatten against her head as her tail drooped in the water. Sevati couldn't believe the words that her sister was speaking to her. Leave...leave their home! How could she speak about it so calmly? Lime green eyes were glazed over as she tried to understand. "Not want us! But...but that's not true!" Tumai and Aleu were nice to her, they didn't care that she had red fur on her. They never made a comment about it, nor did they treat her differently
"But, I don't want to leave! This is our home, how can you want to leave?!" She cried out to her sister as she gazed down at the stream, watching the fish swim by. She had no idea what the ocean was, but it didn't sound like home to her. "I don't want to leave my friends...Tumai, Aleu, Kimaji..."

“I know... I know… but you were lucky to have made friends with the nicer pride members. The fact is we can’t stay here… Father wants to get mother is a better place, so that she can have all the food and water she needs. This place is dead… and we did it- or so they say...”
*As she spoke she softly nuzzled herself against her sister. Ausi could see the pain within her eyes. She held herself to her sister and softly held her close.*
“We can start a new life there… and they have a lot of cubs our age... It will be fun...”

Feeling Ausi's touch, Sevati stayed frozen. It was all so hard to take in, it was a bad dream that she'd wake out of soon enough. "This is a nightmare." She mumbled to herself quietly. Teary eyes went up to look at her sister. "Is that why you and Daddy have been gone? Looking for a new home without me knowing? You're happy about it?"

“I am not happy. I don’t even want to be here anymore! I won’t be here anymore…”
*A deep sigh passed her chest as she moved away from her sister.*
“He only took me because he didn’t want me to leave to see my friend again. But that won’t stop me… once we leave this place I’m gone.”
*She was so sure of it too… Ausi wanted out of this place, badly.*
“We have to go… father will be back soon..”

So, her sister wanted to leave to be with her friend while she was being dragged off away from her friends. It wasn't fair! Sevati's lime green eyes narrowed in anger at her sister, why were things going her way? Water dripped off of her fur as tears began to stain her cheeks.
"Why do you get to see your friends while I'm leaving mine! It's not fair!" She yelled through a sob, "It's not FAIR!" Tears came down in a steady stream as she turned sharply and ran away from her sister. This was her home! These were her friends that she would be leaving! She had no idea where to go, just as long as she was here in her home and not at some far away place that her family wanted her to call "home".

“Don’t ask me! Stay here for all I care! Stay here be hated! Don’t you understand, when was the last time you saw your young friend? Mmm, she left too! As for the adults... it’s only a matter of time before they turn too! You know what- stay here then! I don’t care!”
*As he sister cried out at her Ausi attacked back verbally. She was also hurt! This was her home and being hated for the color of her pelt and the male that fathered her hurt- but she wouldn’t stand to live in a place that she knew didn’t want her. She was sick of the dramatic events that followed her family… she was sick of it all.*
“Just stay the hell out of my life then!”
*With that Ausi turned away and started off in the direction that she had come from.
As she stalked off her father passed her and with a soft tone he called out.*
“Ausi…?”
*He had come at a bad time- With a frown the male padded over to his youngest and sighed deeply… she was in tears.*
”My dear… I am sorry..”

Ears were flatten on her head as Sevati collasped to the ground. Tears streamed down her cheeks as her sister's words taunted her. Tumai and Aleu would never abandon her because of her color, they've already accepted her! Her watery eyes narrowed, maybe it was good that she didn't have any black on her to remind herself of her sister. Well, if her sister was better off without her then she would leave her sister to her own devices. All that was heard were the echoing sounds of her sobs before she noticed a presence near her.
The deep voice alerted her that it was her father. Turning away from him, she didn't move her position from the ground but covered her face with her paws. Speaking between sobs, "I don't want to leave, Daddy." After her sobbing had subsided, a dull ache resided in her at the thought of leaving. This was her home, she didn't care what her sister said about it. There was plenty of alive things here! Mumbling to her father, "This is home." She had all but given up.

*A deep sigh passes the large males chest as she sat himself beside his youngest and pulled her close. His green eyes softly narrowed as he eyed down at Sevi. She was so upset at him… and Ausi must have made it worse, though he didn’t know for sure… he knew them well enough to know who would have started a fight.*
“My dear… I am very sorry... we can always come back to say hello to your friends… but this is something we must do… for your mother… for your sister, for our future.”
*As his words slid past his parted maw he nuzzled himself against her and held her close. He never wanted to see his cub’s cry.*

Her father's warmth and touch calmed the sobbing juvenile a bit as she hiccupped a few times. Sevati didn't want to leave her home, but she had no choice in the matter since it sounds like it was already settled. And without her too! Her father took Ausi along to settle it, but said nothing to her about it! Heartbroken, she realized that she would never get to see Tumai and Aleu's family, if they ever had one...plus, she was supposed to go exploring with Tumai to see his family. So many things left undone and it broke her heart. Raising her head slightly, she turned it to look up at her father, all teary and stained cheeks. "I was supposed to go with Tumai to see his family...I was supposed to play with Tumai and Aleu's cubs whenever they had any..."
Watery green eyes looked down at her red-tipped paws, the color that her sister said made everyone hate her family. Why didn't she feel any of that hatred? How come she had met such friendly lions and yet, her sister said this place was dead? She didn't understand it, she didn't understand any of it! "It'll be so far away, I don't even think I'll get to see them again while Ausi gets to go off and have fun with her friends!" She complained while pawing at the ground before mumbling in a soft voice, "It's not fair." While she was being selfish her father spoke about her mother and it hit a sour part. Her mother was so sickly in their den while she was off making friends and having fun. She wasn't being the fair one now, she was being like her sister, wanting everything to go her way. Sullen, her head drooped slightly as she couldn't look at her father, "If it will make Mommy better, but just for Mommy..."
