( Blue Female )
Nyoka had heard from her messengers that a pride not that far from the overpass had completely got wiped out. When she heard about this.. a very very sharp feeling in her gut ensued and it wasn't her litter. Shaking her head. "We'll have to go and look then." One of the messengers tilted their head. "What. I knew them. They gave up my bodyguard trade and didn't heed my words.." She lifted her head as she got on all fours and started to make her way out of her den. "A pity it had to happen this way... I knew it would happen."
Shaking her head from side to side before taking a soft trots down ways to the crater's opening. Giving a nod at the guards before leaving. "No one leaves while I'm gone." Then like that she disappeared within the vast wasteland desert after the mountains. It was a hard way to get out but if you knew where to go... you too could make it without dying out and be fed to the vultures. Between the mountains.. inside the caverns below was specifically made pass by the earth for them. Or so Nyoka felt.
Going off and it was a few hours before they got there but when they did... Nothing but bones.. vultures and hyena lands...
"Are there any survivors?"
"No ma'm." He remarked.
"Scavenge the lands." She sneered. "There should be SOMETHING. SOMEONE still around." She had a few gathered with her enough if Hyenas were to attack. "I don't want to leave this land empty handed.. follow any scents and grab anything left from the pride." It was how they lived.. By the trade system. So they had to snatch from their neighbors if they fell. While her henchman split up.. she stayed with one. He stood behind her as she went to the highest peek of the used to be pride lands.. Looking like a hawk.. It was a shame it had to go.. If only she had listen to her. Then maybe her pride wouldn't have fell.
Her messengers were rarely ever wrong and once the hint of danger came. It was hard to not cringe from the horror of half mangled bodies.
"Get them to also bury all bones. You never know. Big deep them in deep." Serious green eyes watching out for any sign of anyone.

 Baridi Vivuli shook where she stood, her life had changed entirely. She had lost everything she had loved and everything she was given in life. She could hardly handle the shock that she felt right now. Her beautiful loving mate was torn at the hands of a merciless leader. Her cubs. Oh her cubs, their lives taken before they even started. Everything she had worked so hard for was gone, killed and mangled. Even the innocent lives that had joined her tribe in search for protection and shelter. She had let them down, she had failed them and herself. Family, friends, and more. all gone.
How could this be. How did this happen.
She gave a angry snarl filled with pain and grief. It was all her fault, a few suns and moons ago she had been approached by a cheetah named Nyoka. The Boss lady they called her. She had Approached Vivuli with an offer, a trade to be exact. Nyoka offered her protection in the sense of guards for her pack in exchange for a cub. The thought however was sickening to vivuli and she refused the offer at the thought of losing her baby. Now she had lost them all. All at the expense of her decision a life and death decision that didn't fair well for her.
"Everything Gone!" She snarled out again with her voice trailing into a weeping wail. She could not help but feel so many emotions over come her. Sorrow, Lose, Grief, Hate, Anger, Pain, and emptiness. Her body trembled and shook, her mind felt like it would explode.
She had been the cause of her lose.
She finally brought herself to her feet and looked down at the body of her mate. She had kept him with her for she never wanted him to leave her side. Her cubs were shredded beyond recognition and there was nothing left to savage. She held back the tears that wanted to stream out and stifled a cry that would make even the darkest nights sunny.
Closing her eyes she sighed deeply. She felt her heart pounding and could feel the blood rushing in her ears. She opened her eyes again to finally move. She reached down to her mate and grasped him gentle by the neck and started to move. She started to leave the trees and ground that covered her in hiding and revealed herself and her dead mate to the open.

All the cheetahs were scattered like ants. Rambling through each nook and cranny. "Find them." Was the most dominate thing on each of the cheetahs' minds and the occasional enslaved jackals or alike. Anyone that could help identify them. And when they found the blurr of the bush.. there was at least two with the same track and one quickly reported back to Nyoka only an 30 minutes later.
So the leader of the mafia pride slowly moved, then picked up a trot then gaiting towards the cheetahs. When she saw the dead mate in the paws of the green and black cheetah full of blood. She took a step back. The smell was a putrid one. Smelly and sickening and being in the same place could cause damaged. She knew that first hand and her ears pinned back as she broke the silence.
" Baridi ." Saying this in a solid manner.
"Baridi...Vivuli. Is that you?" She knew her.. but she wanted to make sure that it was her before taking her in. That made this even more important to get her away from the body.. It was damaging her. From the looks of it.. she was hadn't eaten? She wasn't sure but it looked like it. She turned her head and gave a signalling 'bark' as a few others left the scene and left only two others with Nyoka.

Vivuli pulled her dead mate with what little strength she had left. She stared at his face and could not bother to stop the tears from streaming out. So much anguish and regret filled her body and mind causing nothing but pain and heartache. She heard others nearing but did not care who it was, they could kill her if it was the rival pride, she had nothing left to live for anyways. Then she heard her name called out, she wasn't sure if she really heard it. Then it called out again, this time she was certain, and it sounded familiar. She turned her head to see the cheetah that could have saved them all.
"Nyoka... it is me..." She said as she placed her mate, dead mate, on the ground. Her voice was shaken and full of sorrow and hate. She could not believe she stood in front of her, they must have came to see the damage and take anything they could back. It's how the mafia pride worked.
Vivuli stumbled a weak step forward to the boss lady only to have her legs give out and she collapsed to the ground. Her body fell into the dirt and she tried hard to stifle the coughs that her body weakly let out. She struggled to get up and weakly held herself up in front of Nyoka. She had to show she was still strong, even after she had lost everything.
It was hard for her to face the cheetah that could have saved all her family. All Nyoka asked for was for a single cub...now she had lost them all. She kept on repeating the events that had occurred in her head, she just could not let them go.

The face of a prime and proper cheetah now distraught and though the view was slightly disturbing. She only lifted her paw when the cheetah fell. It was the queen of the pride. The one she spoke about.. This could have all been avoided and though Nyoka didn't have much sympathy after she had been denied. It was still a sight and the slight tinge of sympathy had pumped in her veins though it may have not looked like it. When the cheetah stumbled it was a hard thing to bare watching though she did not move to help because that was the other's pride. To look strong- and she would do the same in her situation.
She WAS a strong cheetah, and non the less and be called.. well. What would you call high cheetahs with their noses in the air. Regarding her denying a simple cub. In exchange for this. Thankfully it had not been her pride to kill them off. They didn't NEED to but bringing new blood was more vital so bloodlines could stay well in standards.
"......As I said. This is not what I wanted to happen. This is just a path you chose." Softly nodding. Wary of the female just in case she attacked her without warning- she'd be on guard- straightening her back. With her head held high. "Now you must make another decision. Will you stay here and let the scoundrels reap every soul and wiping them from history. Or. Come with me and never let them be forgotten."

Vivuli looked Nyoka in the eyes as she spoke. She stiffened her muscles as her legs started to shake under her own weight. She was grateful for Nyoka's company even when it was a bitter-sweet. She was here now and Nyoka was offering her another chance, a new start. She looked around once more at what had once been her pride and joy. Her glance turned to her side where her dead mate lay. She was given a chance of protection before in exchange that she gives Nyoka one of her cubs. That refusal cost her her whole family and her whole entire pride.
She looked at the ground and started to shake angrily, why was she even debating this?
"I will go with you." She said with certainty and a snarl on her face as she gave one last look at her past and turned her back on it. She left her mate on the ground, she knew Nyoka understood he must come with them. Her members would take him back, or so she hoped. As much as she wanted to let him go she just couldn't.
She was turning her back on everything she has worked for. However it was all gone anyways, what was the use.
She knew Nyokas pride would clean this place of any value if they haven't already started. It was their way, and soon it would be her way too. She would gain back some power and remain close to Nyoka and do her every deed. Cause one day she will get her revenge, it was just a matter of time and how. Well at least that is how she felt and thought.
She waited for Nyoka to head to her pride lands, or to Vivulis new home.

As they walked, it was a slow pace and calm. While the runners held the riches that the pride had. Some were just fur from the departed and some were bones and remnants of things that were once alive. Trotting at a faster pace then what Nyoka and Baridi were set out. Hours later.. Once they came upon mountains on the east. Where the plains were long and dry. The heat could further kill one off. The evening started to settle in. Nyoka stopped and several others did as well. With the evening covering up most distinguishable properties, she turned to Baridi. Head high as she gave her a nod. "This is when we will have to cover your up and carry you...or." She swerved around and made herself comfortable in front of the once queen of the lands once was.
"Or, put you to sleep." Eyes went slightly more softer as she then lowered her rump to the ground. This is either a place to make camp or a place to hurl the body to the pride. Yes, it was a shame that things had to happen this way but it was the only way to protect her pride. These rules were set in place for a reason. "This decision will either put us to continue or rest for the night. Whatever you choose.. Vivuli....~"
Others came about and waited around them. Either looking to the female, or out in to the plains. They were always on alert. Everything was done a certain way to keep things working. Mostly depending on her, whether they could rest here and continue later in the night or continue now. Either way they were prepared for it.

Vivuli padded on, her legs were tired but it did not matter. Her mind was somewhere else, lost in deep thoughts and memories. Her attention was brought back when Nyoka spoke up as they came to a stop. It was Vivulis choice if they stay here and camp and rest or continue on. She knew what she wanted.
"We will continue on." She said with her head high and a strong voice. She did not want to rest till they were back to her soon to be new home. She looked at the female almost with questioning eyes but she had to understand these were their ways of doing things. Besides Vivuli was new and could not be trusted with knowing the way of getting in and out of the pride, she would soon.
Even after falling from the top Vivuli swore she would make her way back up, no matter what the cost. Vivuli wasn't one to step down and give up, it just wasn't the way she did things.
She looked at Nyoka and gave a weak smile. this was gonna be a fresh start, as soon as she wakes up. Her eyes will take in a whole new world and a whole new way of life.

Nyoka had slinked in front of her standing tall as she gave a nod. With that, the guards whirled around the girl and wrapped a fur around her face. Throwing her over their shoulder roughly, showing her no mercy as to how rough they could be. Walking beside the male whom held Vivuli. "This must be done but at least you can be awake, just not able to see." She cuued at the girl that was wrapped in a dead carcass. A smile grew to her. "Though you will have to start from the bottom. Work you way up.. but I do not doubt you will. I expect great things but you must earn it. It will be hard. It will be painful. You will be pushed to the limited, but In the end, you will thank me." As she walked along side the male, whom looked equally efficient in walking around with a female on his back. Prim and proper in his ways of walking.
"I have to admit, the fall of your beautiful pride was a great loss. I wish you would heed my words next time. As the fall was foretold to me. I only now bid you to listen.. and follow me as I will never lead you astray." As they walked in to the pride. Having others quickly help aid the 'unpack-aging' of all the treasures they found. When it came time to show Vivu her new home, they simply let her drop to the ground with little care.
Nyoka stood as one of the guards pulled the fur from around her face. Now at the heart of the crater. Looking at that graceful face now on the ground only a foot away from where her feet rested. "Welcome, Vivuli.." Lifting her paw to put her chin up. "To your new home.." Sincere and gentle..with her voice and royal with her way of speaking. "Now learn the ways of our pride, train until your body is tired and believe in yourself." Slowly walking away from where the female was laid out before talking over her shoulder enough close to be heard. "Oh, and one more thing....Do not ever- defy me." Leaving a guard to roughly push her to get up and place her in the den of the entertainers..

Vivuli let them roughly take her as a kidnapped cheetahess. After all the pain from recent events she could hardly notice there roughness with her. As Nyoka spoke of the difficulties to come in the new pride she accepted that. Nyoka was correct to not doubt her, in no time Vivuli will be back up where she belongs. She would not let her new boss down, she would show her that she wasn't just great in the past but in the future too. As the male whom carried her she felt her weight not weaken him, this showed admirable and respectable strength in her pride.
Yet as she spoke of her downfall Vivuli could not help but feel a bitter taste in her mouth. It was such a disappointment to her and she hated to be reminded. However she knew only with time she could heal.
She was suddenly dropped and knew they had arrived. The fur cover was taken off and Nyoka had addressed her to the pride as a new member. As the boss walked away she turned and whispered quietly, however enough for Vivuli to hear her daring threat. she just gave Nyoka a curt nod before getting up as she made her way to the den. This was it, this was her new start, her new start in life.
No more second chances, this time she would do things right.
