Rhea had found a new home in the strange pride where cheetahs ruled. She didn’t know where her family was all she knew was she was alone with a crazy lady who never wanted her alone. She wasn’t mean but she had her watch like a hawk. Rhea believed it was because she was a seer; she didn’t understand what the female wanted with her. She never remembered her visions; in fact she tended to black out. Her visions would always take control in her fragile body.
As of now she wasn’t alone she was held inside the den being watched by a young cheetah someone younger than her. On some level it irritated her. Neither one of them wanted to be there. Rhea over heard the male fighting with his mother. He didn’t want to stay but she didn’t want to leave her alone. The male of course loss the argument.
Rhea was much bigger then he was, he must have been the same age she was when she was brought into the pride. Thinking about that day scared her, it brought up bad memories; she was alone. To this day she missed her family especially her father and her twin.
Rhea looked at the male, he had the most annoyed expression on his face. It was clear he didn’t want to be there.
Hosoku didn’t want to be here, he was forced to by his mom. He was a royal not a freaking babysitter. He glared at the leopard with hate. She wasn’t even a flipping cheetah which was the most aggravating thing of all. She has always been around since his birth but he hasn’t actually been so close. With his mom sick she would always be out and about in the pride usually watched by one of the adults or the guards. Hosoku still wasn’t sure if he was really watching her or if she was watching him.
He knew very little about the female, all he knew was she would spaz out and have a vision. She was a seer. His mother cherished seers, he didn’t she why she cherished all seers, and he could understand if she was a cheetah. Not a leopard, well at least he wasn’t a lion or a hybrids. Even the thought of a hybrid made him angry.
He looked at the female, “What’s your name anyway?” His tone was bitter.
Rhea looked up at him curiously, “Say it nicely and I might tell you.” She smiled and began to groom herself. She knew more about Nyoka cubs then Nyoka herself. Rhea had begun to actually remember parts of her visions as she grew and the more she had. It was good for the pride but it drew more energy for her. Especially if the visions where strong. The stronger the vision the weaker she was in the end.
Rhea noticed the young cheetah was growing angrier with her which only made this funnier. From what she has seen he was very temperamental, she hadn’t seen how he treated other but she heard about the way she treated hybrids which she didn’t approve. All kinds deserved to be treated equal that was one thing she could and would never like about the pride.
Hosoku glared at the female his eyes narrowed and his jaw tightened; who did she think she was talking to him with such sarcasm. “Look leopard I’m a royal cub now what is your name?” This leopard was so aggravating he had never met someone with such a tongue on her. He stood up and walked over to her with grace and sluthing in his step. He would not tolerate being talked in a harsh tone.
His paerents were never talked to in such a tone, they would be spoken to with respect, power… fear. That’s what hosoku wanted respect like his dad, one day he wanted to rule the pride. One day he would.
Rhea stood up along with him. She stood a good foot taller but he still acted like he was the king cheetah, she was not scared. It was actually quite amusing seeing him act like she was actually scared of him. “Like I said ask me nicely and I’ll tell you.” She smirked and looked at him. “If you can’t ask me nicely don’t ask me at all.”
Hosoku huffed, he grinded his teeth. He wanted to know her name. If he had to put up with her for the rest of his life in the mafia. “Fine.” He spat and took a deep breath in. “Hi I’m Hosoku, what is your name?” His tone was filled with sarcasm. “Happy?” He had a bit of anger in his voice.
Rhea chuckled some. “There now was that so hard, I’m Rhea.” She could detect the sarcasm but she knew he was trying.
“So rhea what’s so great about you? Why does mommy love a leopard so much? You’re just a spaz.” His words were like ice. He didn’t understand it. He never would so what so great about a seer she can be used as a slave why is she treated like royalty. He hated it and now he was watching her. Why couldn’t bugie do it?
“Touch me and I can tell you things you don’t even know of yet, something you probably won’t know have for a while” She smiled and looked at him curiously. She could see the twinkle in his eyes. Who wouldn’t want to know something before it happened? But for rhea it was a nightmare, she would have a seizure and black out but sometimes she would say useful information. She stretched a paw towards him.
“What can you see?” Hosoku was curious about this. Maybe she could tell him how he can take over the pride. He stepped close and touched her paw. She gasped and her eyes began to shake.
Rhea says herself for the first time in a vision she saw herself. She was pregnant. Hosoku was there. Probably to make fun of her. Then she saw him… she saw him lick her. Was he the father?!?! How!!! “Love comes in unexpected ways; hybrids will carry your blood.” Her voice was ominous and dark and raspy. Hosoku let go of her paw and she passed out.
Hosoku let her rest while he tried to figure out what she meant. That’s when he saw her begin to stir. “What did you see?!”
Obviously he has never heard of her visions, she doesn’t remember anything but strongly enough she did remember something… “I think we become mates….” She looked up at him. His eyes filled with disgust.
“That’s impossible I would never mate with a non-cheetah!” He hollered and ran out he had to find his mom. He had to tell her he had to see if it was true!!! It couldn’t he would never mate with a leopard he would never want to risk hybrids! Never!
Rhea sighed… how this was possible she remembered something from her vision… and she wasn’t out so long… What did this mean…? Was she really going to have babies with him…? She curled up in the back of the den. Of course she was her visions where never wrong… Now only one question remained…
When…
