"Her Violet Shadow" (My Pride)

Chapter 5: The Scars

(VioletRoar felt in a mood today. She felt sadness in her heart with bitterness involved. She didn't feel like hunting nor talking to any lions or lionesses in the pride. She was relaxed on a sturdy branch in a tall tree. Her wounds had just healed up perfectly but yet she felt the soreness of it all)

"VioletRoar! I'm bored"

"Then go bother Mom"

"She's on a hunt"

"Then go bother your poor excuse for a father"

(VioletRoar could swear ever chance she was alone, MouseSharp would come and bother her wanting just to be near her)

"He checks the boarders of the territory. He said to say here"

"Well good for you listening to your father for the first time. What about Cloud and Vapor"

"They said I can't play with them cause their manes and tough"

"Did you tell them-"

"I told them that too! But it didn't work this time. Come on VioletRoar show me the rest of the boarder please"

"Why can't you ask your father?"

"He takes too long to get back to the pride, Come on VioletRoar!"

"Fine, Only and only if you leave me alone for the rest of the day"

"I will"

"Fine"

(VioletRoar climbed down from the tree, getting sorer than she already was from it)

"Are you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay! Cause of you! You and your father, I swear. If I wasn't your sister, I would have let the buzzer get you a long time ago"

(MouseSharp's face, she was scared and frightened by what VioletRoar said. In emotional hurt, MouseSharp ran off with VioletRoar tailing after her)

"MouseSharp wait! I didn't mean to say that!"

(VioletRoar tried her best to chase after her little sister but lost her tracks soon after. VioletRoar stopped to catch her breath, the soreness of her shoulder was acting up again. VioletRoar didn't know what to do, if she should try to go after MouseSharp again because she might get lost or rest. She knew the right thing to do but at the same time, her shoulder was in too much pain. VioletRoar noticed something, something she wished now she wouldn't have seen. Splatters of blood, it almost seemed like a trail of some kind. VioletRoar hesitant but she followed the trail not knowing if it was prey or some lion was a small enough injury to leave a trail. The splatters turned into patches, light to dark blood; it seemed almost sickening to her. Thorn up ahead was clawing his way into Cloud. His throat was opened, rip into by his teeth. He had his blood smeared all over his mouth. The sight was almost too much to bear to)

"Hello dear Sister"

"Thorn, Cloud..."

"You hated them anyways, didn't you? Seems like they were just in the way of things"

"What do you mean...?"

"I mean, that unfortunately they have to be gone and so do you dear sister"

"What?"

"You see, I never liked you especially when you were born. I never liked that you always got Nova's attention. You were his special little cub. You didn't deserve that label"

"What are you going to do? Kill me"

"Oh, that is exactly what I'm going to do. And kill those little cubs to. I will just tell the others that you bravely stopped a filthy No-Mane from attacking me"

(Without a second thought, Thorn lashed his claw at VioletRoar eye. She was even given a minute to breathe. Half of face burned with pain)

"Ha! Just a little wound, had to make sure it looked real. You fight a No-Mane and all. Even if I don't kill you, That scar will"

(VioletRoar roared before charging at her so-called brother with anger. She was good enough to get a few nicks here and there. Thorn using his height and strength as an advanced, outsmarted his sister throwing her down a small edge. VioletRoar couldn't do anything. She could feel the rest of the stregth left in her fading away. She would black in and out of consciousness. But within this could hear some other lion)

"Sister, it's not what it looks like!"

"What have you done to our brother?"

"He was no brother of ours, That ShiverTear made a mistaken"

"But killing a cub is one?!"

"If you forget about this, I will spare you, we can tell them it was VioletRoar. On a rampage?"

"No! She is our sister! I would never do such of thing"

"Then you will end up just like her"

(VioletRoar could do nothing, she thought to herself. She wishes she could have been a better sister to MouseSharp and Vapor)
