Memkrias was laying there in her surprise one moment on top of Pizeera, the next she'd been flipped and Pizeera was pinning her to the ground. It was't a hurting pin and oddly she felt her face going red though she did't understand why.
"Memkria just be still and quiet or else you'll miss out on something to eat, I need to keep watch in case Ayesha and the boy stuff this up and I have to go help."
Pizeera told her as he got off her, Memkrias too got up off the ground and looked shyly at the ground suddenly Pizeera was laughing, it was nice she thought to herself, he not always serious and it made him seem softer somehow.
"Come and look at this Memkria, the boy is trying to get our lunch, I wonder where Ayesha is."
Memkrias moved forward to see what Pizeera meant and looked stunned, what was this 'boy' doing? Even she knew you had to stalk your prey quietly, the next moment she jumped as Ayesha appeared from nowhere cutting off one of the running antelope. As the creature went down Pizzeera commented about Ayesha not being so dumb after all and Memrias agread saying
"That was a good idea!"

"And the next thing you know, is those same hands with their gentle touch, wrapped around your throat and squeezing the life out of you."
"I highly doubt that this human would do such a thing. This one is weak, confused, and worried, unlike the others. He also doesn't have one of those sticks that shoot thunder... only a silver sharp thing."
Phrixus sighed, wishing that Ayehsa hadn't found this human in the first place. If she hadn't then they could have possibly gained a new member for their group.
"I'm willing to give this human a chance, but I'm keeping a very close eye on him... I think you should too. Plus it would be better if two people were watching him, rather than just one."

Isha was visibly startled by Night Flame's words, so much so in fact that she seemed unable to say anything or react to what Phrixus said next.
"I highly doubt that this human would do such a thing. This one is weak, confused, and worried, unlike the others. He also doesn't have one of those sticks that shoot thunder... only a silver sharp thing."
"They do not need their sticks of thunder", Night Flame commented.
"They make them more threatening... But they have other means to kill. Sometimes all it takes is a tiny, sharp thing - such as the one the boy carries."
"I'm willing to give this human a chance, but I'm keeping a very close eye on him... I think you should too. Plus it would be better if two people were watching him, rather than just one."
Night Flame sighed and averted her gaze.
"I can not", she said quietly.
"His presence would turn me insane. Is that what you want?"

"I can not, His presence would turn me insane. Is that what you want?"
Phrixus could tell that NightFlame was more concerned about humans than he was. She must have had some sort of incident involving the humans at one point.
"How could one small, little human drive you insane? He is easily killed if the need arises."

"How could one small, little human drive you insane? He is easily killed if the need arises."
Night Flame closed her eyes, forcing herself to remain calm. She was slightly surprised that her voice didn't shake when she replied to Phrixus.
"Because that one human is enough to remind me of things that I wish to forget."

"Because that one human is enough to remind me of things that I wish to forget."
After what NightFlame had told Phrixus about the absence of the rest of her pride, it made sense now as to why she didn't want anything to do with the human.
"The humans were the ones killing your pride members weren't they?"

"The humans were the ones killing your pride members weren't they?"
Night Flame laughed, but she was far from amused.
"I did not know for certain", she explained. "As I said, they vanished without a trace and there were no witnesses... Until my pride left and only I remained."
She opened her eyes and turned to glare at Phrixus.
"And you know what they did then?" she asked angrily, her calm slipping away.
"They took from me my only reason why I had not followed my pride. They killed my cubs. My cubs. And now, every time I look at that boy, I see my cubs... dead... skinned. How do you expect me to look at that boy and not wish to kill it like they killed what was mine?"

Thomas stood there panting, leaning over with his hands on his knees trying to get his breath back. Tilting his head up he looked ahead and could see in the distance the black and white form of Ayesha sillouetted against the sun, and lying at her feet it seemed she had indeed caught something for them all to eat.
Straightening his small frame, Thomas held his knife in his hand and started walking towards the liard, blinking as the sun beat down on him. The nearer he got the more excitement filled him, he had actually helped catch something other than snakes and rabbits to feed on. would the female be happy with him, would he be allowed to stay with the group now after she told them how he had helped her.
Slowly he advanced towards where she was standing, the knife was still in his hand, she hadn't turned around yet so her back was facing him.

Pizeera looked down quickly at Memkria as she commented on the idea of what the other two had done was a good idea.
"It seems it worked this time, pity the others couldn't have seen what has just happened."
Looking back away from her, the lion saw the boy appear and start to move closer and closer to Ayesha, but for some reason he still had the weapon held in his hand and the liard wasn't looking.
Pizeera hesitated for a moment and then leapt away from the lioness and started running at speed towards where the carcass lay. Nearly there Pizeera shouted out the liards name and growling just lept at the boy knocking him to the ground.

Memrias ran after Pizeera looking flustered, what should she do she panicked to herself. The situation could be messy, she liked the boy.. but she liked Pizeera too.. she did't want either hurt - she shot a invisible cry for help towards Ayesha with her eyes.

Phrixus understood now why NightFlame loathed the human more than he did. He had no idea what he could say in response to what he had just heard.
It seemed that there was no way they would be able to bring NightFlame back to the to others with them, but he looked down at Isha to see if she had anything to say.

Ayesha was standing staring at the antelope, wishing it would hurry up and stop twitching and moving around, this was the part she hated the most, the final moments, and then the way the blood came out when you ripped off a piece to eat, it was rather distateful she thought of having your fur all bloodied and dirtied.
She could hear footsteps behind but couldn't be bothered looking, she knew it was the boy as his scent had carried to her on the breeze the closer he had got, but she wasn't expecting to hear Pizeera shout at her.
Turning her head slightly it seemed, the same time she saw the lion jump and knock the boy to the ground, sending his weapon flying landing ontop of one of her paws.
Ayesha didn't know what was happening and just stood there mute lookng from one to the other and then Memkria turned up as well. Looking back behind her again she expected to see the rest, but there was only the grasses blowing from side to side.
"Pizeera !.... what are you doing, I thought you wanted the boy here, why are you on top of him like that, what's he done wrong ?"

"Pizeera !.... what are you doing, I thought you wanted the boy here, why are you on top of him like that, what's he done wrong ?"
Staring up at the liard, Pizeera moved his weight off the boy still lying on the ground but left his front paws still pressing down on his chest.
"What's he done wrong, while you had your back turned he was creeping up behind you with his knife held up in the air, to me it looked like he was going to try and kill you. "
Looking down at the boy again, Pizeera opened his mouth and growled letting hot air go over the boys face, watching as he lay there all scared.

Memkrias stood there like third wheel, she was hesitant to say anything and she was holding her breath about what would happen. Her eyes wide open as she watched the exchange, it felt like her heart was beating against her ribs as she waited about what would happen.

Isha stared at Night Flame with wide eyes, then turned to look at Phrixus to see if he had anything to say. To her dismay, the lion was staring at her, clearly expecting her to speak to the lioness.
The fox swallowed, then turned to look at Night Flame.
"Um..."
She blinked, hesitating. What could she say?
"You know they all can't be like the ones that... did... that. I mean, you do know fennecs are nocturnal, right? Yet I stay up during the days."
Night Flame gave the fox a glare, and Isha's confidence to speak faltered.
"Er... WhatI'mtryingtosayisthateveryone'sdifferent."
Night Flame lifted an eyebrow at the fox, looking rather unconvinced. Isha flattened her ears and gave a pleading look at Phrixus, wishing he could say something to help the situation.

Phrixus and Isha exchanged looks again. It seemed they were both at a loss as to what they should say. It's not every day you hear something like NightFlame had told them.
"Isha's on the right track," Phrixus stated, "The human may bring back bad memories, but you can't hide from them forever. You should try to travel with the human and you'll see that he is different from the rest. I still don't trust this human much, but I don't think he can do much damage because he's too afraid."
Phrixus waited, but it was still silent. He hoped that he was making progress, but if not, then he didn't know what else to do.
"Just give it a try. If after a few days you feel the same way, then you can leave again."

One minute Thomas was smiling as he neared the liard,hoping she would be pleased at how they together had got food for everyone, and then the next he was lying flattened on the ground with one of the lions standing on him growling with bared teeth,... had it all been a set up and that he was really the prey.
Opening his eyes slowly,all he could see was fangs staring at him.Thomas tried to be brave ,but he felt a tear roll out and trickle down his cheek followed by another and another, every thought he had about being accepted and not being alone came tumbling down as he thought he was about to die and he didn't know why.

Pizeera stood there pressing down a little more with his weight ,watching as water ran from the human boys eyes, and his scrawny body started to shake.
"So what are you going to do now Ayesha ? this is just what those other two were telling you would happen and now look. You're lucky I decided to come and see what you were going to do, or you could be dead meat right now."

"What's he done wrong, while you had your back turned he was creeping up behind you with his knife held up in the air, to me it looked like he was going to try and kill you. "
Ayesha looked from the lion down to where the boy lay sprawled on the ground and back to her paw where the dagger still rested.
' He wouldn't do that to me, I know it...Pizeera has to be mistaken about what he saw'.
Straightening up her body, Ayesha took a few steps past Memkria who looked like she was going to cry at any moment and stood beside Pizeera and looked down at the the boy.
His eyes were open and staring at the lion who still had him pinned and he looked terrified, surely if he has been going to kill her he would be acting different, almost defiant at getting caught out.
Going with her gut instinct, Ayesha gave the lion a push.
"Get off him Pizeera...now. I want to see what he was really doing."
Waiting while he moved his paws and stepped back, she turned , picked up the dagger in her mouth and came and dropped it beside the human. Bending her head she in turn nudged him waiting for him now to get to his feet.

Memkrias was confused over what was happening but she saw Ayesha push Pizeera off and nudge the human to get back up. Pizeera looked liked he wanted to kill the boy and she could't bare it, killing for sake of it was murder, and she could't bare him being a murderer, she could't help how she felt about him. She bit her lip and quickly moved in front of Pizerra baring her neck in front of his teeth, she swallow and quivered where she stood.
"Please don't... don't become like this, take me if it makes you feel better" she mumbled out to him.
She closed her eyes, tears falling as she waited for his mouth to close on her neck. If he had to kill someone then she thought it was better her as she knew he'd never like her as she did him. If she sacrifice herself for the better good, one day maybe.. one day he might remember her fondly. Her thoughts were irrational but quite due to her age, including that she jumped to the conclusion of what Pizeera was gonna do.
