Chapter 9: Can't be tamed
The monsoon was making a terrible. It didn't make it any better that Gaea was so head strong that she wouldn't budge. She was ready to go in to the storm to save others. He was tasked with reangling up his nieces and nephews and he specifically told Gaea that she needed to do the same. That her old captain needed to be closer than he ever had been.
When most of his family was in the den, then he continued on to move towards other lions that seem enchanted with the siren song. It wasn't the first time their had been reports of voices that take you to your death. He thought he told her about this danger, but ever since his honeymoon with her, he stopped speaking of all the dangers because they were happy now, she was getting comfortable and she should have understood the dangers of being by the water.
That wasn't the case. The once pirate, was only aware of their voices. Welcoming ones that showed that their pride members lived on. Instead of helping Rahman, she continued to hunt down others being caught up by the winds. Some older, some younger but she was in her prime, and very strong now that she had a permanent sparring partner. He still didn't expect her to take on the heaviness of pulling others back ashore.
After his family he too went on to pulling others back and getting them through the thick winds. Moving from behind rock to rock to get there when he saw a shadow move over him. When he looked up, it was his mate, throwing over a rope down through the wind and snagged another lion that was holding thralls with them.
"COME ON!" She cried out through the wind. Bracing herself against the sands that were sinking her.
Rahman roared to get her attention.
With a rope in her mouth, she pulled and looked and saw her mate. She mumbled something and Immediately Rahman moved and snatched a piece of the rope to pull the small family behind the rock and once they did- they all leaned back, heaving.
"I told you to stay inland!"
"I told you I wasn't!"
They bickered back and forth and the family edged away from them finding themselves in a better line as they moved to where most of the pride would be. The stranglers were the problem. That's what Rahman and Gaea were worried about and bickering about. They continued for hours to help others and even cubs moving in to the safe dens. Some were doing the same thing as them...
Then while holding someone up, she swore she could hear her mother....
Then her siblings.
"Rah!" She jumped off one of the cliffs towards the voice...
It couldn't have been the voices of her family... but it could be a voice of someone and that is what she was on the surface excuse was, inwardly- her heart was breaking. She had to look. Maybe they DID make it out of alive!
