The Pride (lion rp) **NEEDS MEMBERS**

[strudelcat]

(You guys have no idea how mad I am at myself for being busy lol! The part for Flare was perfectly fine! (: )
(Lets also assume Flare heard everything going on, was there the whole time but not knowing about herbs and stuff stayed out of the way while keeping watch, and while Luna made the announcement she was sitting underneath the rock, if that's alright?)

Flare listened to all the exchanges being made around her, low whispers and cries of sorrow. She didn't feel a lot of emotions, but this struck her hard. What Savannah had said about her, did she really think that was true? Most of Flare's life she had been insecure about being a cross-breed, insecure about a lot of things. So she bottled it up and released all her emotions when she was in battle or danger or served her pride. Extreme emotions were not something that Flare portrayed, let alone based her thinking and her decisions on in the first place. But what Savannah said..that Flare was kind, and strong, and everything, that made Flare feel better than ever. Some lion looked up to her, admired her, for who she was she she appreciated that more than anything. The moment didn't last, as she saw Quake with Kara, and she started towards them. But when she saw Kara look up and smile at Quake, and Quake with his paw around her shoulder, she stopped, frowned, and then twitched her whiskers. Once again, no clue what to feel about the situation, so she made a mental note to seek Kara later and go talk to Ace about what had happened. She padded up to him, ears flattened in neglect of emotion and weariness. "Hey," she said. "What went on out there? Did any--" she stopped short. "Jester! Where's Jester!" Her ears perked and swiveled and she tasted the air. "He's not here! Ace! What happened!?" her wide eyes searched his face.

L u n a .
I nod to Sheera and decided to seek Ace out. I taste the air and catch Ace's scent quickly. My eyes scan the camp and find Ace, talking with Flare. I stiffen up slightly as I walk towards them, " Ace, " I call out as I come closer.

A c e .
I whip around to see a worried and flustered Flare, staring at me, " Flare,- " I was cut off by the sound of Luna's voice. I turn to see her approaching and sit back down, " Yes, Luna. What is it? " I ask clearly.

L u n a . (2)
I stand in front of the male for a moment before sitting, staring at him, " Before I make any rash decisions, I wish to know the details of the hunters' attack. " I say sternly, trying to hid my true intentions of knowing, Is Jester okay? Please say he is...

A c e . (2)
I flinch slightly as she spoke, About the attack... I honestly don't know much, but I can, at least, say what I know. " Alright, I'll say what I know, " I pause as I glance over at Flare. She probably wants to know too... " When I had reached the scene, Savannah and that male over there, " gesturing to Chase, " were already injured. Jester seemed somewhat relieved to see me. I remember I was crouched down next to Savannah when I asks what to do. All I remember Jester saying is to take Savannah back to camp along with the male. He said that he owned him. Before I could say anything in protest, Jester was already gone, headed for the hunters. " I say the last part in a quieter tone.

Flare listened to Ace's story and her fur bristled more and more as the information came at her. She flashed back to when the Hunters had captured her and somebody came to her rescue. She didn't remember who, but that lion had saved her life and her stuipd pelt from being hung on a wall. Jester was an alpha male, he was powerful and strong, with a thick mane and a pelt that would be easy to spot because of the attention that the mane brought to him. Flare realized she was thinking like a hunter, and grimaced in her head a little bit. Her intuition started exploding inside of her, and she could feel the adrenaline just waiting to be poured into her veins. "Something's very wrong," she murmured, staring Ace in the eye.

Sheera nodded to Luna's suggestion and watched her go to Ace, watching from afar as the three spoke the healer could only imagine the worst until the injuried lion, Chase, approached her with his wounded body. " your the healer? Could you help me " he asked quietly yet politely. Feeling hurt and at a loss, Sheera knew she still had a duty to help the young male " uh, yes right this way " she said and directed him to her den and upon arriving at the healers den, Savannahs body had been wrapped in Palm leafs so that she could be moved back into her den were it was cooler and to reduce decomposition. Sheera sighed at the scent of blood and the scent of the young lioness. " let me see your wounds " Sheera said softly to the male and shortly after she had began padding up the punctures.

I nod, " I think you're right. If Jester was okay then he would have been back by now... " I trail off into my own thoughts, What could have happened to Jester? He's not one to run off... I sigh softly to myself as I look up at Luna, " We should gather a small search party, containing young, fast lions, just in case we need a quick escape. " I say to her as I wait for a response.

L u n a .
My eyes widen slightly at Flare's and Ace's statements, Jester... my muscle tighten up slightly as I think of the possible reasons of why my mate hasn't returned. I take a deep breath and nod to Ace's suggestion, " That might be the only option. I do not want to just sit around and wait to see if he returns on his own. " I say, surprisingly confidently. I nod to the two lions and then make my way to the rock once more.

(Writers block sorry :3)

Flare nodded her head at Luna and turned back to Ace. "I can lead the party, but if you're up for it after all of this I need you to show me where you were last so we can track Jester from there by scent," she said.

As Sheera finished patching the outsider up, the topic of Luna's Flare's and Ace's conversation caught Chase's attention Jester, that must have been the guy that gave us time to escape... That means that was the alpha male that saved his hide he thought as he looked on and listening from a far. At the point of discussion, when the chatter of a search party arised Chase's ears perked up and he approached the trio cautiously yet confident halting a few feet away from them '' pardon me '' he said showing himself as a tarnished grey bodied male. He thought being from the shadow pride the lions would be more hostile towards him.

A c e .
I nod to Flare, " Of course. " I was about to say more, but then I heard a somewhat familiar voice. I turn to see the Shadow Pride lion who Jester supposedly owned, " Yes, is there a problem? " I ask kindly, but my voice held authority.

L u n a .
I jump onto the high rock once again, this time, the sight of me drew the rest in. I clear my throat as I begin to speak, " As I have said before, the hunters that once threatened our lands have return, and we believe that they have captured Jester, " I pause as I hear a few hushed gasps come from the crowd, " I need a small group of volunteers to go out as a search party to see if we can bring Jester home. " as I spoke, a few lions had a look of dismay or fear on their faces, as if they didn't believe my request.

K a r a .
As I talk with Quake, I notice that the lions had gathered once again under the rock, " Come on, " I pause as I stand up, " Let's go see what's up. " I say as I wipe the last bit of moisture from my face. We reach the group right when my mother was asking for volunteers for a search party. I stiffen up slightly as I clear my throat, " I volunteer. " I say as a few of the lions turn to face me.

L u n a . (2)
I stiffen up as I hear a familiar voice come from the crowd Oh no... I think as my stare falls onto Kara. She stood proudly and showed no sign of visible fear. I take a small, deep breath as I nod, " Very well, any other volunteers? " I ask the crowd.

Chase looked towards Ace " I over heard your looking for your alpha, Jester was it? " he said as he ward Luna's speech " I may not be from your pride but I offer my aid in service because without him, we would be stuffed and mounted by now "

[Our Stars.]

A c e .
I give the lion a cold stare for a moment before showing a small, reassuring smile, " Alright, we could use the muscle. " I say kindly.
