Rajsa
It had been a few weeks now and it was time.She felt the familar contractions and growled lightly and then slunk off into a pricker bush that only had one entrance and could only fit her and her cubs.She gave birth to four two males and two females. She cleaned them all and thenturned herself so her back blocked the entrance way.She then allowed the cubs to nurse.
Majikan/Irakli/Xatia
Irakli and Xatia had their first meal, unaware of the danger that lurked nearby.
Majikan looked at Risen. "We cannot let her have the pups for too long." He said. "She will have to eat soon. She'll have to leave eventually. If not, she will die and Enshalla will take care of the cubs."
Risen
"I think Enshalla will get the cubs either way. I'm not one to double cross. More so- she did not just simply leave, she joined the wrong side." She growled out and moved toward the tiger but out of striking range. Rasheetah and Silver tensed to be ready to take action.
"Tell me Rasja What was so much better with the Guardians. They treat you like slob, you are the lowest of the low to them. And you know that. You will help them and then get a thank you- if lucky- but you will still rank below them, wont you?" She snarled and almost hissed like a cat but held her tongue and waited for the betrayer to answer.
Rajsa
Her ears flicked back to the outside listening to them and she growled. She would keep her cubs whether they like it or not.Risen im only staying there for shelter I do not plan on fighting in this little war. But i will definitly not side with someone who steals cubs from innocent mothersShe growled. IT was true she was only using the gaurdians for shelter but she knew she would more then likly be kicked out soon.
Majikan
Majikan thought for a moment before turning to Risen. "I do believe that the snakes will be useful right now." He said, quiet enough so only Risen would hear.
Enshalla stepped closer to Rajsa. "You coward - come out and fight. You would if you had any common sense." She growled.
Risen
Her growls subsided and she laughed darkly. "Using them?.. right... And we are not stealing, we are saving them from tainted creatures. When the war is over and the weakness of the mothers gone, the cubs will rise up and the world will know who they are." snarls flared "But you threw your chance away. If you want your kids to live let them join the winning side so they wont get hurt. You know as well as I that they are doomed if they stay with the Guardians. And you know what the guardians will do when they die... nothing, They will sit there and go 'crap we lost another fighter'." Her smile tightened as she raised her head. Her look turned to Rasheetah and the cheetah knew exactly what to do. She ran off, leaving the tigers and wolves for the moment.
Rajsa
She growled.I will not allow my cubs to be raised by monsters! They are mine i shall raise them. I don't plan on returning to the gaurdians.She now turned her head toward risen and bared her fangs.winning side? There won't be no winning side you all will just kill each other!She growled angerly glaring.I know how it is to be torn away from your mother, Humans stole me away from mine in the wild! I lived behind bars confused and hurt and sad! I will not allow my cubs to feel that way!She snarled glaring at her.Kill me and my cubs will die with me! I won't let them suffer!
White Claw
White claw had given up waiting for her father and ow was racing back for her mother a couple weeks later. she came upon the scene and growled angerly.Leave my mother be you foul creatures!She growled now pacing.
Risen
The alpha raised her head more dominantly to the tiger now. "they will not remember you. They haven't even open their eyes yet." She growled lowly, "It'd be better if they didn't remember such a foul creature such as yourself. Your a traitor, and a weak being." All weakness had to be eliminated if it could not be morphed into power.
Silver shook a little, then began a soft walk toward the interaction. Her hind leg limping a bit from the muscle that had been gorged from it. She laid down and watched the tiger, and then looked at the cubs which surrounded her so.
Moments passed and Rasheetah had returned. Dangling from her mouth was a much pestered Melee with open jaws and fangs revealed. Placing the snake down near Risen; Rasheetah stepped back and waited for what was to play out.
Melee, the water moccasin, slithered around the alpha's fore paws and then looked at the tiger in her den. Her split tongue lashed the air violently in front of her before she gave a deadly hiss to the cat.
Rajsa
She growled.You kill me i will make sure my cubs are dead!She snarled now turning to face them.White claw get out of here My Child!she then called out.
White:She growled at her mother and then ran for the cheetha carring the snake.No mother what these creatures say is wrong and cruel and to abandon my own mother would not be an option!She snarled lungeing for Rasheetah.
Rasheetah .+. Melee
Rasheetah took quickly to the fight and about faced the tiger, With her large claw she swiped at White claw's face. Claws unsheathed and ready to gouge out an eye. But the force of the launch forced her back and onto her two hind feet to defend with both front claws.
Melee turned around and hissed to the assaulting tiger. Quickly slithering to Rasheetah's aid, Melee struck out at the tiger's legs and under belly, hoping to catch her with a deadly dose of venom.
Risen didn't turn around as the attack moved on behind her, instead she stared at Rajsa, eye to eye. "Kill them, go ahead, it's your choice, their your kids. If you really want to prove how lowly you are to take their lives just because you pity your own; you will just be proving how selfish and cruel you really are. It will be a very dishonorable death." She growled out. Glaring daggers to the traitor.
Rajsa
she growled. She would have to take two and run for it. leaving tow behind.She hated to do it but it was for the b est. So turning quickly she picked up Xatia and Tajsh and jumped out leaving a male and female cub behind.She ran as fast as she could away from all of them.
White claw.Her eye was struck and then she saw her mother leaving. She couldn't get to the two other cubs so before the snake had a chance to strike she ran after her mother.
Kajsa cried as she felt the warmth dissapear.
Risen
She almost sprang as fast as the Tiger, but missed and raced after her. She wasn't fast enough and quickly decided there was no point in giving chase. She turned and headed back to the den for the two she had left behind.
Silver almost yelped out a whine as the tiger took off and as her alpha took chase, the female dove into the den to comfort the little ones. Wrapping her warmth around them and cooing. "Shhhshh, children stay calm stay calm." She cried, quickly looking out and preparing herself in case the mother came back.
Rasheetah was the one who did take the true chase. Running hotly after the duo she pumped up her speed to 62 and gave a massive swipe at Whites hind quarters. Trying to knock the tiger down.
Melee, in the confusion of what just happened, staggered back and looked around for the alpha. Risen came back into view and looked into the den where Silver now lay. She gave a nod of approval then looked back to the tiger family. "Do you want them in your care, or do you wish for us to take them? We have a lion couple who are due soon so if you feel there is too much trouble we can take them to Dulsca. She said quietly.
Kajsa
She stopped crying when warmth came back.
White:Watched her mother soon dissapear but felt claws in her hind end and she swung around aiming a hefty paw with claws comming out to swipe at the cheetah's face.You won't win buzz offShe growled now making sure to stay in the cheetah's way.
Majikan
Majikan stood back, letting Risen deliver the punishment. He chased Rajsa a short distance before returning to the cubs. "Enshalla will care for them." He said softly. The orange tigress nodded in agreement, looking into the den at the cubs.
Majikan walked into the shade, but his eyes were still on Risen. "I hear that the water reptiles may have children soon. If any of them want to live in the Oasis, they are perfectly welcome."
Irakli cuddled up next to the canine.
Devaki approached Risen and bowed. "May I come to the Temple with you for a while? I would like to see who I will fight alongside when I am grown." Her voice was calm and polite and her head was held low in respect for her ally.
Rasheetah
The cheetah hissed violently as claws swiped across her face. Growling deep in her throat she gave some furious swipes back at the cat's eyes and throat. Trying to blind the cat to finish her off, possibly.
White
She had already lost one eye she wasn't about to loose the another.Letting out a hatefull hiss she turned tail again and fled.
