Relationship: If you aren’t with the pride you are against it. To Melli it was the simple truth, the way she was raised. It didn't matter if others couldn't see it, they were competition. Competition for prey, for space and for attention, no, no, not attention. Attention was shared, it wasn’t a competition, no
She was definitely not hogging it all. Sitting there… Soaking it up while Melli just got the scraps.
Attention was a scarce commodity, it seemed, whenever
She was around. Oh miss perfect, graceful hunter, batting eyelashes, she was grace and strength wrapped in one. The perfect lioness, someone Melli could never be.
She was competition and Melli hated losing.
Petty revenge was her first plan. Stage a couple of minor accidents, make the fairy princess fall flat on her face. It worked for a moment, a laugh at the expense of her enemy. Next thing it was happening more often, a hunt gone askew, it was Her fault, a tainted meal, it was Her fault. Melli tore into Her reputation like prey and it felt oh so good, watching her face fall as pride mates teased her about another mess up. Watching her fall down the ranks, and taking her place. Taking her friends and reputation for herself.
Yes, that spark in her chest, the one that burned was
definitely the thrill of victory. It
definitely didn't sting, didn't make Mellis throat feel tight as she saw her enemy alone, with tears going down her perfect face.
Melli
definitely did not walk up to the fairy princess, and she most definitely didn't offer her enemy a shoulder to cry on. She definitely didn't feel anything close to guilt, seeing one who was once so high, brought so low. If half the pride saw them lay side by side, staring at the stars? Well that is just fake news.
But the next day, when it was time to deal the killing blow. The moment where all success lay. Well… The pretty princess seemed to find her luck again. A spectre of misfortune cleared from her future.
Surrounded by triumph again, it seemed everyone's perfect princess was the only one who noticed a striped shadow nodding with grudging respect. It wasn't the end, the nod implied. Just the beginning of a different kind of rivalry.
