Jadeghost wrote:"No, it's not wrong at all...I feel the same way," Wind answered quietly, his eyes downcast. "I think it's pretty impossible to feel loyalty to anyone that hates you. You need to feel accepted and wanted to be able to feel loyalty, I think. And besides, I never felt much towards my pride in the first place. I really have no reason to stay..." he stopped, wondering what Xyli would think of what he just said. Her soft fur touching his was comforting to him, and he shifted a bit closer, resting his head on hers.
Xyli sighed, closing her eyes. I'm the traitor, now. All my life...fighting against them, and now here I am. She opened up her golden eyes, glancing up at Wind, and smiled. "I think your right, Wind." She mused softly. "How could we ever trust anyone who can't trust us?" She asked, knowing there were really only two lions she trusted now; him and Lexi, though maybe not even her these days. What would she think if she saw her now? Shaking the thought from her head, she knew that Otis and Jinx, even if they were her friends before, were not. They were leaders who couldn't see her veiws, or trust her to know what she was doing. It killed her to have to say this...but she felt like she was sufficating, and she needed a way out. "Let's run away, then." She whispered, her yellow eyes bright as suns in the darkness.
