Please Don't Go
So this is a scene from our RP just after Kobee saved Kiana from drowning in a river located a fair way outside of the Pridelands. Of course, as said below, Kiana is bleeding an awful lot from the fierce contact her rib cage had made with the sharp rocks. So nothing in this image is violent, there were no fights involved and for respectful reasons I have kept the blood at a minimal. In reality there would be much more. I tried my best to keep it limited!!
SO, below is a little piece of our RP. Top one is her part, and then there is a divider (~~) followed by my part!
I believe this song suits this part of our RP perfectly, Charlee!

---------------------------
Kiana's body felt so light and she felt so at peace with herself. She had the beautiful memories of her cubhood playing in her mind, softly echoing the memories.
She remembered the times playing with her mother and father, them telling her the ways of the Pridelands, and her jokingly running off to explore.
Her meeting up with Kopa and them getting into all kinds of mischief with the other animals of the Pridelands.
The comfort of her dads massive paws holding her close, in order to protect her from any predators while they slept soundly in their cave.
She watched herself grow up and become this lioness that the pride adored, this lioness everyone wanted her to be. And she felt happy, that maybe she did accomplish something after all. If only she would have been more true to herself, she could have taught the new generations a lesson. She could have been a role-model. But in a sense, she already was.
Kiana was someone other lionesses looked up to.. Maybe not anymore, now that she betrayed the pride. But still.
Her memories and thoughts were interrupted by the violent shakes and sobs of an unknown source.
Kiana's brain was flooding with reality as she remembered that last she recalled she was submerging under water, and losing consciousness.
Kiana's instincts kicked in and she gasped hard, desperately seeking air. That caused her to choke up any water that had been deep in her lungs and throat.
She started gagging on the water and having a coughing fit, pushing herself away from the lion that was holding her and distancing herself to make sure to not get any on him.
After a few moments, after Kiana had caught her breath. She opened her brown eyes for what felt like the first time. She smiled wide to herself, so grateful and surprised to be alive. She giggled slightly, and then looked over to the lion who obviously rescued her.
The lion was extremely muddy, and looking at her so frantically that it was almost impossible to distinguish him. She tilted her head slightly as she began to ask, "Who are--" and she gasped as she looked the lion in the eyes.
One blind eye and one a beautiful mocha -- it was Kobee!
"KOBEE!" Kiana squealed happily. She was shocked and overly excited. But the large amount of excitement caused her to move too suddenly, she got a wincing pain in the side.
She looked over to her side and seen her wound gushing blood. She sighed to herself, "Oh, right.." and winced more as the wound made itself known.
Kiana started breathing hard, but she tried to ignore it as she turned her attention back to Kobee. She smiled at him deeply, and took a step forward and placed her head under his chin. His muddy mane brushing into Kiana's cheek, but she didn't mind. He still seemed warm to her, "Kobee, did you rescue me...? Last I remember I was in the water.." She looked up to Kobee as she thanked, "I really appreciate that... Thanks for coming after me.."
She cleared her throat and stepped away. She remembered that Kobee was with Misha now, and she knew she should keep her distance. She could only imagine how much Kobee disliked her, and wanted nothing more to do with her.
But if that was the case, why was he there?
Kiana began shivering, the cold of the night beginning to become obvious to Kiana. Even more so that she is soaking yet and severely losing blood.
Her body began trembling and her knees became wobbly. She sat on her hind legs, unable to stand on her own. Her eyes became glazed with a pain, but she tried her best to keep her face straight and elegant - she didn't want to worry Kobee any more.
She chuckled lightly, trying to keep the mood hopeful as she said softly, "I think I just need to rest some.."
She lowered her top half, slowly. She began breathing hard but wincing in pain because of so "ack..."
She leaned to her side and tried licking her wound softly, trying to clean it and stop the bleeding. But her body twisting caused the sore to open up more - and it caused Kiana to cry out in pain, "OUCH!!!"
The tears started falling, she was unable to remain calm at this point.
She just laid on her belly, paws tucked beneath her. She was breathing harsh, but it was the best she could do. She occasionally cried out in severe pain, but she tried to keep her cries to a minimum.
She looked over to Kobee once more, trying to keep the mood light she said, "Times like this, Rafiki seems like a great luxury..." As soon as she said it, the remembrance of the fact that Rafiki was no longer an option to her, came to mind. She sulked a bit but then just lowered her head and closed her eyes. Trying to stay focused on her breathing. Trying to distract herself from the cold.
~~
Kobee held Kiana to his body, silently praying that she would be okay. His whole mind was consumed with their memories, his whole body craving to feel a sign of movement. Then as if someone had answers his prayers, the lioness beneath his body began to cough. She removed herself from his embrace and then continued to free her lungs from their liquid prison. Kobee took a step forward, offering her support if she had needed it. As she turned to him he froze, even in the most unflattering night she was gorgeous. His heart skipped a beat and he remained idle, he was unsure of how she was going to react to seeing him there.
As she thrust herself forward and embraced him his eyes shot open wide and his muscles tightened. He was in shock; he had no idea how to respond to the sudden contact so instead he allowed her to remove herself. She seemed uncomfortable, he should’ve known, she hadn’t hugged him because she was glad to see him, she had hugged him out of gratitude. He had saved her after all.
“I heard you… I heard about you and Kopa. I couldn’t allow you to come out here by yourself, not at this hour, not in the state you are in. I could hear you calling; you gave me such a fright, Kiana…” Kobee wasn’t going to say much to her, in fact he didn’t want to overwhelm her with the horrible facts that were the previous events but he owed it to her to give her some honesty. She needed some assurance in her life, some sort of truth. He explained it to her gently, the words came from his mouth slowly but he hadn’t planned them out.
Then, as he watched her fall to the ground he cried out. Thrusting himself forward, he put his face against her forehead and his paw on her shoulder. He knew he had to stay calm for her benefit but inside he was frantic, his mind was in overdrive as he tried his best to think of something he could do for her.
“Kiana, listen to me, okay? I know you’re in pain, I know. But I am going to get you out of here, okay? You’re just going to have to move a little so I can get you on my back.” Kobee’s voice was firm and husky as he tried to keep it low so that she didn’t become frantic. He was desperately trying to keep her from losing conscience. This situation was also new for him and he knew the last place she wanted to be right now was in the presence of Kopa, but for her life’s sake it had to be done. “Come on Kiana, stay with me. Talk to me, Ki. Please talk to me.”
Kobee lifted her ever so gently, he nudged his face under her stomach, carefully avoiding her wound before he edged his body underneath her and then placed her onto his back. She was lying with her face in his mane, which had now become crunchy from the mud and her back legs dangled over his rump.
“Kiana, I am going to take you somewhere that will help you, alright? You’re just going to have to trust me.”
