Numai growled softly as he left the ruins of the castle, his dark eyes narrowed. A small pack of four...and two of them just cubs! He needed more then just Marshael to do his bidding...He needed an army. And what better way then to start with the young...
He smirked softly as he walked toward his grandparents den. If he remembered correctly...Ariana had siblings that would do just fine as part of his growing invasion. He stalked closer to the den, staying low to the ground, though it was hard with his massive, bulking size. He smiled and sat there, waiting...
Akumari sighed, walking slowly out of the den. Her parents weren't around...they probably had abandoned her. She wasn't anything like what they wanted in a child. Smart or strong or playful... What was the use of her even trying? She sighed, looking back at the den before she started for the woods, her ears down.
Numai smiled when he saw the lone cub. Perfect. He stood, shifting his weight on his paws before he jumped from the bushes, grabbing the cub up in his mouth and pulling her from the ground. One more lovely little lady for his collection, it seemed, as he realized it was his aunt Akumari that he held in his jaws.

Lavona watched the cubs lazily along side her grandma, who was sleeping. "Akumari..where are you going?" She watched as the cub walked away with out answering. Then, to her abrupt horror, watched as Numai snatched her up. She quickly told the other cub to stay and woke up Dani, who began freaking out. Once she quickly explained she would get her daughters back, because she now had a hunch as to where Ariana was.
She sprinted from the small cave and dug her claws as best she could into the frozen ground. She folowed his scent and him inconspicuously to where ever he was going. The icey wind whiped through her fur and she felt like she didn't even have fur, she shivered as another cold blast of wind blew through her fur. She really wanted to know where her satanic, problemadic, idiodic brother was taking their aunt.

Numai ran through the bushes he'd leaped from. He carried the crying cub away from the den as quickly as possible, pausing only when he thought he was far enough away. He looked back over his shoulder, scanning the path behind him. Who was that....the sibael following him...
His eyes widened slightly in surprise, then satisfaction. Lavona...how quaint. He flicked his tail at her, starting for the ruins again. He held tightly to the cub in his mouth, careful not to hurt her. It wouldn't do, to hurt his future supporters, after all. But to have Lavona...oh, how he wanted to turn and face her. But he'd have to wait...
Akumari whimpered in fear. "Numai, let me go!" She cried once she'd realized it was him. She was confused about what was happening. She could hear someone following them...who was it? Was it mother? "Mama?!" She cried, unable to check. Could it be danger?? Is that why Numai had grabbed her up?
Numai ignored the cub, pausing at the entrance into the castle. He watched and waited. Was she still following them? He'd went slower so she'd keep up...He hadn't even tried to lose her on the way there....So where was she? He sniffed at the air, his eyes glowing. There....she was coming! He turned, entering the castle then.

Lavona shifted her stance. she was defencive now and wary. The ruined building had a mossy smell to it, other smells met her nose and confused her. Were there more Sibael here than she thought? Other than Numai and Ariana?
Warily Lavona crept into the castle. Maybe, if she was swift enough she could atleast get Akumari away so she could run home. She was sure this was her last day on earth, because she sure as hell wouldn't beable to fight her brother now, one quick jerk of his head and her neck would be sure to snap. Her tail flicked side to side and her breathing was even dispite the adrenaline flowing through her veins.

Numai growled softly, plopping Akumari into one corner of a dark room. "Stay here, girl." He growled softly. He'd have to take her down to Marshael later. Right now, he wanted Lavona... He turned from the frightened cub, walking out and standing still, listening. He slowly stalked away from the room, slipping silently through the shadows.
"Lavona..." He growled softly, watching her. A few feet....he was only a few feet from her now... His body trembled in excitement. "What are you doing here...dear sister?" He asked, stalking to block the way she'd come. This hallway was a dead end...She was trapped if he could keep her from leaving back the way she'd come. "Do you have some sort of business with me...sister?"

Lavona held her ground when Numai appeared. She was now in the middle of the large room, and it seemed as though she'd made a mistake, it would take her to long to dash out of the door if she needed to, but she knew she wouldn't. She growled at him, her pitch black fur rising in warning snarlying when he got to close.
"Numai." She said curtly throug gritted teeth. Her ears lay back flat against her skull. "Let the cubs go Numai! Take them back to their parents. Grandma and Grammy are worried about them!" She now turned to face Numai who'd gone a half circle now and she wasn't gonna let him behind her. Not a chance. She let out a threatening growl that echoed off the slick stone walls.

"Take them back?" Numai asked, looking at Lavona as if she'd lost a few marbles. "And condemn them to live like outlaws? These cubs will grow up knowing that they will rein with me, be my support, when our kingdom is built! They will be royalty, as my aunts....I'll make sure they never want for anything!"
Numai circled his sister. "I offer you the same, sister...Be my support..." He walked closer. "I'll protect you from everything...I'll make you a queen, make this into a kingdom worthy of us as it's leaders..." He smirked. "We'll purify the land of the unclean scum, Lavona....we'll make it perfect together..." He stopped a foot out of her reach. Should she strike at him, he could easily dodge. "Mother was a fool..she turned the chance down...But you..." Numai chuckled darkly. "You will not turn it down...You're not stupid...are you, sister?"
He started circling her again. "Not that it matters, dear heart....you do not get the choice." He chuckled again. "You always were my equal as cubs, Lavona...but surely you see now that I am the stronger of us..I will not fail to make you into a worthy queen...one who knows her place and will obey as a woman should!" His eyes suddenly flashed dangerously, in rage. "You will obey me!"

Lavona growled low in her throat. "How do you know they don't want to go home?!" She folowed him with her gaze carefully, anticipating his moves. Her mucles were rigged under her skin and fur.
Growling even louder now, her dark purple eyes showing the anger burning inside of her."Support? What kind of support does one recive from a mentaly incompotent b*****d like you?" She scofed, and snarled as he stoped infront of her. She really wasn't playing today. "No, Numai I'm not stupid. But I'm sorry I can't say the same for you."
"Oh don't I? And when did my brother decided he had all authority over me?" Lavona crouched in a defencive position and screamed back at him as he lost his temper. "How dare you?! Who are you to tell me where my place is?!"

Numai growled darkly, his eyes narrowing in outrage. "These cubs are no longer our grandmothers concern." He hissed, tensing. "They will grow in my care, as my servants and company!" He stalked around her, going to stand in the rooms only entrance and exit, the doorway. "You will obey me, sister...you have no choice!"
He turned, slamming shut the thick, iron door on her. "You'll stay here!" He yelled angrily through the door. "You will be my queen!"
He slammed the lock into place, then stalked away, going to the room where he'd stashed Akumari and grabbing her up roughly. He growled in agitation, taking her down to the dark room that Marshael was watching the other two cubs in. He put Akumari down, watching as she immediately went to hide against her sister. "Marsheal...get some wood and start a fire." His voice was darker then ever before, and he watched as Marshael scrambled to do as he was told.
"A...Ariana..." Akumari whimpered. "W--whats going on?" She asked, tears falling unchecked down her cheeks.

Lavona sat down in defeat as her brother slamed the door. She flinched as his voice rang in her ears. she doubted there was any place to escape from in this hell hole. She shivered involuntarily, not from the cold, but from the raw fear that replaced her anger.
She now found herself alone, trapped. She stood slowly, and examined her cell. It un interested he quickly though and she layed, pressed against the cool stone wall.
Ariana huddled with her sister, licking her tears away. "I don't know Mari. I'm scared, and I don't know." She shivered slightly as she spoke, stuttering slightly.

Akumari closed her eyes, hiding against Ariana. "Where were you? Why didn't you come home?"
Numai walked over, laying down infront of the door. "Aunt Ariana...Aunt Akumari. I hope you will forgive my rudeness..but I had to remove you from your home before you got hurt..." He shook his head. "I'm going to protect you and care for you from now on...I'll teach you to be strong..." He looked at Akumari, who was still whimpering. "You'll be save here...we'll be a family..." He glanced over at Toxicity, who was gnawing on a bone from the earlier kill. "All of us...We all need to look out for one another...Do you understand?"
Toxicity dug his teeth into the bone as much as he could, watching Numai and the girls wearily. As long as he got feed regularly...as long as he was protected and cared for, then he'd go anything the larger male wanted... "Yes sir..."
Numai nodded, looking at the girls again. "I'll need your help one day, aunts....I'll need you to be strong...because I can't do everything on my own...I need you two, my princesses... With your help, I'll make a kingdom for us to rule, as one family, where no one will have to suffer the shame...of having tainted blood...No one will have to feel unwanted or alone..." Numai looked at Akumari, who's ears were lowered against her head in sadness. "I'll always bee here...to care for you and help you..."

Ariana shook her head. "Unfortunatly I was here." She droped her head in sadness because she missed her mothers, but in truth it hadn't been too bad, as long as Toxic boy stayed away from her. She looked at Numai in sceptilation. I'd rather not be family with that thing. Meaning Toxcicity. But she nodded sadly and perked up slightly at the mention of being a princess. Fortunate for Numai, Ariana forgot her grudges easily, except for when they constantly bugged you. And Numai wasn't bothering her any more. But she saddly wished she could play out side. She turned away from the still speaking Numai and stuck her eye to the little hole in the wall that let in cool air. She peered about best she could seeing white cotton fluffs falling from the sky.

Numai looked at his aunt. "Would you like to take a walk in the woods tomorrow, Aunt?" He asked softly, watching her. "Perhaps, if it is safe and the day is fair, I'll take you for a walk...Would you like that?" He wouldn't allow the others to come along...one at a time was best till he was sure they all would obay him above everyone else.
Akumari curled up against her sister, whimpering softly and shivering from the cold until Marshael came back with a bag of wood and kindling.
Marshael piled the wood in the center of the room, using a rock to slam agains the stone floor till a spark lit the dry kindling on fire. He sighed softly, curling up far enough away from Numai as he could, though he stayed close to the warm, slowly blazing fire.

Ariana un-glued he eye from the small window. She bent her head and nudged Akumari a bit and told her to move closer to the fire, so she would get warmer faster. Her ears perked up at Numai's voice promising, if the weather willed, to go out side. Stepping closer, one blue, starry paw at a time excitment flickered across her eyes. "We could play outside? Today?" Her tail swished side to side and her paws twitched with anticipation.

Numai watched her, his head tilted. "Only if it is safe...I'll have to go look around first, in which case only one of you can go at a time. I can't protect all of you alone, and Marshael has to stay here and guard our home."
He gave her a smile, watching her. "Do you like to play, Aunt Ariana?" He asked, amused by the excitement in her eyes. He'd soon take that joyful childhood innocence away...But he had to win his Aunt's trust first...which meant acting the part of a good nephew. "After we've all warmed up, I'll go get dinner and take a look around. Perhaps then, once I feel it is safe, you and I can go out for a walk, okay?"
