Kion and The Roar of Darkness

Chapter 28

As Kion led them into the cave he smiled seeing everything was just how he'd left it. "Kion ... what is this place?" Asked Vitani. "This, my fine feminine friends, is my den, I dug this place out so I had a nice hidden area to relax in." Said Kion. "This explains why you were always impossible to find when you were off relaxing." Said Mist. "Yup, now, I need to talk to both of you about the situation going on between us, Vitani, Mist was my girlfriend back when I lived here and by technicality I never broke up with her and quite honestly I still have feelings for her and I know she has them for me as well, so I wanted to know what you both thought on the concept of sharing me with each other?" Asked Kion. Vitani and Mist were a bit shocked as they half expected him to try and just be friends with one while the other got him but this worked out better than they thought. "I'm alright with it, as long as you spend an equal amount of time with us both independently to make up for sharing you the rest of the time." Said Vitani. "Yeah, as long as I get some one on one snuggle time with you I'll be perfectly happy to share with Vitani." Said Mist. "I'm glad, you both are amazing lionesses and I couldn't choose between you both if you tried to force me to, Vitani, you are strict, commanding and fierce for the daughter of my psychotic adoptive mother, while Mist, you are caring, compassionate, and mellow for a Vampire." Said Kion.

"Woah, wait a second, you're a vampire, I thought he was joking and playing a prank when he told us about that." Said Vitani. Mist smiled and opened her mouth as the four front teeth at the corner of her mouth elongated to form long sharp vampiric fangs. "That's ... creepy." Said Vitani after a few seconds. "What can you do?" She asked calmly. "Well I am stronger and faster than your typical lioness, but I can also hypnotize you if you look into my eyes, oh unfortunately I also have to drink blood every couple of weeks to sustain myself but as long as I meditate before I keep total control." Said Mist. "I'm not sure I wanna watch you drain someone, that sounds kinda creepy." Said Vitani. "It is, but where do you think I got the weird scar on my neck, it feels weird and pleasing at the same time." Said Kion as he showed the scar he had from where he would let Mist feed on him. "Crimson is a bit less in control but unlike her I despise that part of myself and wish I could get rid of it." Said Mist. "How exactly did you two become vampires?" Asked Vitani. "Well, Crimson and I were born vampires, 500 years apart mind you but we were born this way, our mother is a different story, she willingly turned into one because she fell in love with our father, he was a Vampire Lord and had he not passed away from neglectful feeding he'd probably have tried to turn Kion due to the fact I dated him, oh speaking of, my mother sort of has it out for you so you better come up with a way of proving yourself." Said Mist towards Kion.

"Great, your mother is one of the only people here who scare me, and I fought and defeated ..." Started Kion only for Mist to slam his mouth shut. "Shut it you idiot, you know you can't speak his name!" Snapped Mist. "I'm sorry, what now?" Asked Vitani. Mist sighed, still holding Kion's mouth closed with his head to the floor. "During the last week Kion was here, a dark and evil force awakened, Kion managed to defeat them with some weird roar thingy but not before getting cursed so if Kion ever speaks the name of the great evil, it will be released upon these lands once again." Explained Mist. "Damn, uh so what makes them so dangerous?" Asked Vitani. "One bite from them has the same effect as one from a Vampire as long as they don't drink your blood, they bite you and you become one, but they are only strong at night and as you can see, here in these lands it is almost always night, Kion got lucky and beat them during the one hour of sunlight we have." Said Mist. "I see, well don't worry, I may not know specifically what this threat is but I'll help keep this one from saying their name." Said Vitani as Mist finally let Kion go. "You know I wasn't gonna say their name, I was going to refer to the name of their army that everyone gave them." Said Kion as they began heading back up.

'Damn, so close, I will be free and once I am, these lands will hear my roar and feel my bite.' Thought a mysterious shadow figure with red glowing eyes before it vanished completely into darkness.
