Description

Jason let out a sigh. The pride had finally called off the search parties in the evening. There were reports of a cub that drowned that afternoon and it matched the description of Marlena. Lowering his head, he could feel water rising in his eyes. Where did he go wrong? What did he do to deserve this? "Jason! There you are!" He heard the distressed voice of his mate approaching him and he could hear sorrow tearing her voice. "Why didn't you tell me?! I get the worst news I could ever hear from my brother, when it was my mate that should have told me!" she croaked with a sniffle. Jason turned, not meeting Jayla's soft gaze. He didn't want to look at her, his heart would be torn more to see his mate as sad as he currently was. "Are you... going to answer me...?!" Jason finally worked up the guts to answer. "I didn't want to break it to you because... I don't even like thinking about what she had gone through. She was missing for almost 3 moons and her life comes to an end like that?" Jayla's gaze could tell Jason felt just as awful as she did. Tears began to flow down his cheek, and she sat beside him resting her head into his soft, thick mane. All that could be heard were the soft sounds of crickets chirping and Jayla's sniffles. "Do you know who reported this to my brother?" she asked quietly, her voice barely audible. "No, he told me it was loner lioness I think. She was searching for her son and told him about the incident. Apparently she..." he paused for a moment and clenched his teeth holding tears the best he could. "She fell off one of the cliff edges by the waterfalls." Jayla dug her head deeper into his mane sobbing harder. After a long moment of silence Jason rose his head. "...Jayla?" She tipped her head up to meet his warm gaze, "Mmm?" "Do you think... we'd ever be able to... Do you think we'd ever be able to raise another cub?" he finally spat out, his words said in a quiet whisper. Jayla's eyes blinked in surprise at his question. "Are you asking me if you want to have another cub?" she asked her voice edged with shock. "Well... I know we aren't as young as we used to be but... if having another cub might be the answer to filling the spot of Marlena..." "Marlena will never be replaced Jason. Even if she is gone..." Jayla gazed up at the starry sky. "She's in good paws... she's with your dad." Jayla nodded and Jason added, "But I know you'll miss her as much as I do. And I know you've always wanted a cub. We still have some life to live Jayla." Giving her forehead a few licks she let out a sigh, submitting to his request. "You know me too well... I guess Marlena would have loved to have a younger sibling..."

Nearby, Quarro had been watching as stealthy as could be. He headed back and reported what he had heard. "Great! To think that would have made them depressed, I should have known! Perhaps we need to take this to a higher level. Rangi! Moja!"A dark brown older teen lioness  appeared with very pale tan female cub. "Yes Zacia?" Moja, the dark teen, asked dipping her head in respect. "You two can be quite the actors can't you?" "Depends, what do we need to act as?" "I need you two to go asking to join the kingdom's pride. We need spies to get a better look since last time we failed miserably. They're vulnerable and because you two are new members to our clan, they won't know you. I want Rangi to play as your younger sister and you two need to say you are orphans. They're bound to take you in." The two young lionesses nodded and Quarro smirked, pleased with his mate's way of thinking. "Off you two go then!" she gestured them to run off and they ran off towards the borders. "Play humble!" Zacia yelled after them and let out a long laughter of mischief. "What happens after they get the information we need? Say as weak spots?" Quarro asked thinking about her plan. "I want them to be able to get Jayla alone, plus by that time she might even be pregnant. Double the suffering for their pride! I'm going to kill her once they have her where I want her. This will make the pride weaker emotionally, which perfect for us." she smirked excitement tingling throughout her paws.


Didn't expect that coming! Another cub for Jayla and Jason? :O Yea, this was a last minute decision. I'm planning to have a contest to design their cub, but I'm not sure anyone will join. Anyways, I wasn't going to give them another cub but if this really happened, I doubt these two lions would just grieve over their cub for the rest of their life if they really wanted to raise one until they grew up fully.
