The Hybrid's Sons

Chapter Nine

"I told you Laney, we are not going to go inside the lion cage. Daddy would throw a fit if he knew that I willing let both of us die by going inside the enclosure." Laney stomps her feet as she walks a few steps in front of me. I make sure i stay close enough to her because it would be the first time she has tried to run away from me today. Ever since I took her to the zoo, she has been complaining that Im not letting her do anything that she wants to do, which mainly consist of her jumping into the enclosure with the wild animals and eating so much junk food that Daddy would ground me for the rest of my life for giving it all to her. She likes to think that they are shifters just stuck in their bodies, but i know that they arent, they aren't like rouges, they don't realize how humans do things, and they'll never have the chance of doing so. They may have emotions and such, but they'll never be able to transform into humans like we can.

Apparently Laney can't understand that.

"Stop pouting Laney. I brought you here so we could have fun together and all you have done has made this day hell. If you are going to keep this up, then we are going home." I grumble into Laney's ear after I lifted her into my arms. Laney only crossed her arms over her little chest and pouted some more. I was at the end of my patients, and she was only pushing more.

I sigh but continue to look at all the baby Elephants running around. I think it would be cool to be an elephant, being able to stomp all over everyone when you take a single step because you are so large considered to basically every animal in the world, but considering i am a lion, the king of the jungle, I can't really complain about what i am, not that I'll ever complain. I have an amazing family that supports me for what i am, and someday i will find my mate, and this is all because of how i am and what i will always be.

"I sorry, Fitz. I no be bad anymore. And I no wanna to go in cages anymore. I just thought it be cool." I sigh as i look down at my little sister. Once i look past the evil smirk on her adorable face and the constant spark of mischief that seems to have originated from her very soul, I can still see my little sister that wasn't born to long ago, and how i had become so factuated with the little child I held in my arms.

"It's fine, Laney. I just realized that I should spend more time with you instead of just brushing you off." Laney smiles at me before wrapping her arms around my neck and joining me in watching the little baby elephants trample over eachother.

And for one of the first time in a long time, I didn't see my sister as the devil's child.
