Débil Chapter: 2 'Escaping'
Stray lions went out hunting early near the grasslands, knowing they weren't allowed to go but they went anyway because Pride Landers had more food than Outlanders and they just clearly didn't care what the king said. Débil slowly got up, facing back to father and his siblings sleeping soundly together. He quietly walked to Keya and woke her up by rubbing his head on her side.
"Keya," Débil whispered, "let's go out." The black lioness opened her eyes and looked back at their father and older brother nervously then back to Débil, shaking her head "no" in response, too afraid to leave the cave because she was afraid they would notice that they were missing. "Don't worry. We'll be quick, I promise. They don't care about us anyway. What makes you think they'll come looking for us?" Keya looked at Débil with one eyebrow up and with her head tilted. Débil walked out of the cave and took a deep breath, looking up at the clouds feeling content about the journey. Keya also took a deep breath and got up, quietly following him through the Outlands. They walked and looked up to see a huge rocky dirt cliff that went around them like a gorge. "Uh... wait! Don't worry, I know where to go." Keya followed as Débil ran to the right side and saw how the large rocks were on top of each other, going up to the top of the cliff where grass mostly grew. Sometimes even antelopes and wildebeest were seen up there. He wished he'd learn to catch them one day and with how hungry it made him be as he watched them from below feasting on the grass. Débil, of knowing himself as a very small cub, didn't stop him from trying to do things on his own. He almost managed to climb a rock leaning against the cliff with other small gray rocks crumbled on top of it. He held onto it but his claws slipped and he fell embarrassingly right in front of Keya on his back. "Hey... I thought cats usually landed on their feet." Débil said jokingly, making fun of himself. Keya glared down at him with a smile and lightly shook her head. She pointed at him with her paw, gesturing with her head telling him to walk to the side of her so he'd be able to watch her climb up the rock. And just in case she fell she wouldn't land on him. She made a pouncing position and leaped up on the large boulder with her long strong legs. She turned to face Débil, who seemed to copy her position and leap up on the rock as well. She quickly grabbed hold of him by the scruff before he fell again and pulled him up, tossing him on her back and used all her strength to climb up the large rocks. When they reached the top, Keya lightly placed him down on the flat healthy ground of grass. He saw Pride rock from there. It was still, of course, a long ways away but that thought didn't stop him...
