Betrayed

Chapter 5: When the light smothers the dark

Fuli was in The Outlands, she hoped the guard would understand that she didn't want to come to patrol that day, they were aware of that they hurted her feelings very much the last day. But for now she tried to find the Wolf Pack, she didn't know where in The Outlands their turf was, but she probably didn't need that much time to find it and say hi to Kion. She looked for around 10 minutes before she found Jasiri and her hyenas.

"Hi, Jasiri."

"Hi, Fuli, what are you up to in The Outlands?" Jasiri asked.

"I need your help."

"Of course, what's the matter?" Jasiri asked.

"I need to find the Wolf Pack's turf, it's someone there I gotta meet." Fuli said.

"Their turf is around five minutes straight that way." Jasiri said and turned around.

"Thanks, Jasiri."

Fuli continued in the direction that Jasiri had told her to go, after around four minutes she began to hear voices, angry voices, one was familiar, but one had a russian accent.

"...I'm sending out three hunters and you return with two animals?" 

Fuli hid behind a rock, but she saw two wolves, one was the wolf from last night, but the other was unknown.

"I know, I'm sorry, we met some... trouble." Oscar said.

"I don't care, your part in the pack is to ensure everyone gets food, either you hunt or not." The gray wolf said.

"Listen, Sergey, I'm first in command when it comes to hunting, and if I say that's a good strategy, then it is." Oscar snapped.

"How dare you snap at your leader?" 

"I'm saying what I did that was right, be thankful, maybe we wouldn't return with food, maybe we wouldn't return at all." Oscar said.

"You're a disappointment, Oscar, a disappointment." The gray wolf said.

"No need telling me that." Oscar said and gave his leader a chilling look.

He left his leader, and went to Kion instead, Fuli followed him, she thought of waiting untill Oscar were gone.

"Sup, bro?" Oscar asked.

"I'm good." Kion said.

"Great, but I actually wanted to talk to you about two things." Oscar said.

Kion nodded. "Go on."

"One, I met your "friend", she never told her name, but it was a cheetah." Oscar said.

"So you've met Fuli now, so what's the other thing?" Kion asked.

"The other thing is about Vitani, c'mon, Kion, she's not good for you, she abuse you, Kion, you need to brake up with her." Oscar said with a serious look in his eyes.

"Yeah, I'll think about that." Kion said.

Suddenly, two female wolves joined them.

"Oscar, you gotta come see this." One of them said.

"What? What's it about?"

"It's a surprise."

"Ehm... Ok, well, cya, Kion." Oscar said.

"Cya." Kion chuckled.

Oscar and the two other wolves went away.

Kion chuckled quiet for himself and rolled his eyes.

"Hi Kion." He heard a female voice said, and he knew exactly who it was.

"Fuli? What the fuck are you doing here?" Kion growled.

"Listen, Kion, I know you're mad, but I aren't mad at you, I don't hate you, I only came to say hi." Fuli said softly.

"Why should I believe you?" Kion got into a attack position.

"Because no matter what have happened, I have always been there for you, and that won't change, Kion, if I knew you lived this close, I would visit you every day." Fuli said.

"I don't believe you, you are gonna set me up, aren't you?"

"What? Of course not, I just wanted to say hi, and if you want me to go, I'll go." Fuli said.

"Great, because I never wanna see you again." Kion growled.

"Ok, Kion, if that's your wish, I can't say I blame you, I just think it's fucking disrespectful after everything I've done for you." Fuli growled back, and then she started to go home.

Kion watched Fuli as she went back. 

Then he heard another familiar female voice.

"Hi, Kion."

"Hi, Vitani, what's up?"

"None of your business." Vitani snapped.

"Ok, I'm sorry, I just..." Kion said even though he didn't do anything wrong.

Fuli heard the discussion, she was mad at Kion, but... He didn't deserve to be abused by his girlfriend like that.

"I don't want to hear your petty excuses, Kion, now let's go, I hate this place, and it doesn't get better because you're here." Vitani said.

"Ok, by the way, how's your other boyfriend doing?" Kion asked like it was nothing wrong or unusual having two partners.

That sentence crossed Fuli's limits, no one cheated on her former friend like that.

"Your other boyfriend?" Fuli turned around.

"Who's the cheetah?" Vitani snapped.

"She's my former friend, who shouldn't be here." Kion gave Fuli a death glare.

"Enough, Kion, we all know you're taking mental damage from being with Vitani." Fuli said harsh, but not too harsh, since she knew he was mentally weak right now.

"Bullshit, I love Vitani, and she loves me, right, sweetheart?" Kion turned to Vitani.

"Of course I do."

"Ok, we all know that's a lie, tell me, Vitani, if you love Kion, why would you have another boyfriend? Why would you abuse him like that?" Fuli asked.

Those words made Kion think, maybe Fuli was right? Oscar did also tell him that he should break up with Vitani.

"You know what, Vitani? You're not better than any fucking pridelander, you're just as mean, ignorant and disgusting, and you know what? I hate you, I fucking hate you, I'm breaking up." Kion snapped. In the corner of his eyes he could see Fuli give him a proud smile.

"Kion, are you fucking stupid? Don't you get that she's lying? If that's the case you're a bigger idiot than I thought you were." Vitani snapped back.

"Well, you don't seem to love me, Vitani, I'm just confused why you would be together with me if you don't even like me, either way, you can get the fuck out of our turf." Kion said.

At this point Vitani was furious.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE LEAVING ME, YOUR ASSHOLE, YOU BOYS ARE ALL THE FUCKING SAME, AND YOU, CHEETAH, YOU'RE SO FUCKING DEAD, AND KION, YOU'RE ALSO GONNA PAY!!!! She screamed.

"Yeye, whatever, big talk but small actions." Kion scoffed. 

"I'm sorry, Kion, I shouldn't have..." Fuli started but Kion cutted her off.

"No, it's ok, I'm the one who should say sorry, you're right, Fuli, I was disrespectful, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that." Kion said ashamed.

"Don't mention it." Fuli smiled crookedly. 

It was quiet for a few minutes.

"Oh, I gotta get back, the guard's gonna be worried otherwise." Fuli said.

"Ok, friends?"

"Friends." Fuli responded, then she got back home.
