Souls Unite chapter 15
Souls unite Chapter 15 By Leanna. Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra and a handful of thunder guards went out into the stormy night, there mission to find the missing lioness, they estimated she had been gone for about three hours and in this weather they knew she would look for shelter. They started in the area of the hospital and worked their way out in a circle, Lion-O ordered the guard to report any sightings to him and not to approach her. He didn’t know her frame of mind and didn’t want to frighten her more then she already was. After half an hour Lion-O called the cheetah on her comms, “Tara...any signs”. The cheetah pulled her cloak at bit tighter around her shoulders, “nothing Lion-O,” She answered as she walked down one alleyway after another. The lion sighed and shook the water from his scarlet mane; he closed his eyes for a moment, as ThunderCat lord he was able to sense where all his fellow ThunderCats were, he concentrated on one particular figure and held the sword of omens in front of his eyes and commanded sight beyond sight. The sword of omens growled, the cross bar curled at its master’s command, the eye showed him the former caverns of cold, which had been restored back to the pristine gardens of Thundera. “Cheetara....Tygra....how close are you to the gardens”. “I can be there in about three minutes,” the cheetah answered. “I’ll be there in about ten,” Tygra said. “Good get over there; I’m on my way,” The lion said and called the lair. ****** The panther was more jittery then a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, if it hadn’t of been for his broken leg he would have worn a hole in the floor, course if it hadn’t of been for his leg he would have been out looking too. He looked down at his plaster encased leg and growled in frustration, “what a time to have my blasted leg broke,” he grumbled to himself, “ahhh. The hell with it,” he growled and with a quick karate chop to the side of his knee the plaster split crossways. He thought once he was able to bend his knee his leg would feel better, but once he moved his leg that theory was proved wrong. A string of thunderian curse words reached the tigress’s ears as she walked into the control room, “Panthro,” Myra said, “You alright,” she asked concerned. “Does it sound like I’m alright,” The panther snapped without looking to see who was speaking to him. “Well someone is a bit crabby,” The tigress snorted not fazed by the panther’s mood. “Oh...Myra,” Panthro said seeing who had come in; he tried not to show how much pain he was in. “Panthro...What did you do,” The tigress asked seeing the cast. “Something stupid,” he sighed and gingerly moved his leg. Myra looked at him and slightly chuckled, “come on...we better get that fixed,” she said shaking her head. The big panther sighed as he went to move the comms beeped, “Cat’s Lair...Panthro here”. “Panthro,” The lion’s voice replied, “We know where Leanna is...we’re on our way there now”. “Thank Jaga,” Panthro said relieved, “where is she”. “She’s taken shelter in the gardens of Thundera,” Lion-O answered, “Tara will be there in a few minutes”. “Good I’m on my way,” Panthro said and cut the connection. “Umm what about your leg,” Myra asked. “I’ll get that fix...after...we get back,” He nodded and headed for the door. “You know Tygra will give you hell for this,” Myra said following the panther. “Meh,” he shrugged and went down to the hanger. ************** Cheetara was the first to arrive at the gardens, she looked around in the darkness for any signs of the lioness, the heavy rain had washed away any foot prints or scent trails. So the cheetah relied on her night vision and hearing. The sound of soft sobbing drew the cheetah’s attention, “Lea,” She said quietly moving towards the sound. A flash of lightening lit the area; Cheetara spotted a figured huddled inside the gazebo. “Lea,” she said again as she quietly moved up the steps. “Stay away from me,” the lioness hissed and back up further until her back was pressed against the wall. “Lea....it’s me ...Tara,” the cheetah said softly and crouched down beside her friend, the lioness dressed only in a thin hospital gown was cold, wet and very frightened. The lioness looked up at her with fear in her eyes, “he’s back,” she said with a shaky voice. “Who’s back,” The cheetah asked confused. “Noooooo,” she screamed as another flash of lightening lit the sky, she saw Gaston Schwenk coming up the stairs with the same smug look on his pale grey face. The cheetah whipped around and looked, “Lea...It’s Tygra....calm down,” The cheetah said placing a hand on the frightened woman’s shoulder. The lioness eyes turned jet black she hissed and punched the cheetah hard on the jaw, sending the woman backwards; Tygra quickly caught the Cheetah before she tumbled down the steps. The tiger looked up as Leanna bolted over the side of the gazebo and ran for the woods. “Cheetara are you alright,” Tygra asked standing her on her feet. “Yes,” she answered rubbing her jaw, “Tygra I don’t know what’s wrong with her but she’s scared to death”. “We better report this to Lion-O,” Tygra nodded and pulled out his communicator. “We have to go after her,” Cheetara said and hopped over the side of the gazebo with the tiger close behind. ************** “I wish this damn weather would clear up,” Panthro grumbled as he and Myra made their way to the gardens in the whisker. “Looks like it’s trying too,” Myra said seeing the clouds starting to disperse, “at least the rain is letting up”. “Thank Jaga for small favours,” Panthro said as they came to the gardens. Lion-O was standing at the entrance waiting. “Thought I told you to stay put,” the lion scowled. “Nope...don’t seem to recall you saying that,” The panther smirked, “where is she”. “Well,” Lion-O sighed, “she’s bolted into the woods; Tygra and Cheetara have gone after her....Panthro she terrified, all Tara got out of her is ’he’s back’...she seen Tygra and bolted”. “That damn doctor did this,” Panthro growled, “messing around with her mind”. “Now Panthro...Dr. Selen is only trying to help her,” Lion-O said. “Oh some help....my wife is out in the woods somewhere frightened out of her mind,” The panther snarled. “Panthro...we’ll find her and get to the bottom of this,” Lion-O nodded. “Who’s to say she won’t run from you too," the panther said, “I’ll...go find her,” he nodded and started up the whisker again. “Panthro wait for me,” Lion-O said and hopped in. “Myra keep an eye on the scanner and let me know if you pick up anything,” Panthro said looking around and trying to manoeuvre through the trees at the same time. “Panthro,” Myra said twenty degrees portside...over by the river...someone is there,” the tigress nodded. The panther drove the whisker towards the river and set down, “Lea,” he called as he carefully climbed out, being careful not to put too much weight on his injured leg. “Some one was here a few minutes ago,” Myra said quietly. “She’s close by,” the panther nodded, “I can feel her”. “Ok..Myra and I will split up...You stay here in case she comes back this way,” Lion-O nodded. As the two split up and went off searching, Panthro sat back down inside the whisker; he kept looking at the scanner, but it was his senses that told him is mate was near by, he grabbed the crutches and decided to have a quick look around. Maybe if she knew he was here it would calm her enough that she would come out of hiding. As he slowly moved along the river bank he had the feeling he was being watched, he hobbled over to a nearby bench and sat down, he set the crutches down and sat back putting his arm over the back of the bench, he sighed and stretched out his injured leg, the bench he was on was wet and cold, but at the moment he really didn’t care, a smirked crossed his lips as he felt a familiar presents, instead of turning around, he just sat still, he would allow her to come to him. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to relax, he didn’t so much as flinch when he felt a soft hand lay on his shoulder, he didn’t move an inch as the hand slowly moved down his arm to his hand, only when the lioness’s hand slipped into his he opened his eyes and gently clasped her hand and gently pulled her down on his left leg. The panther never spoke as she looked at him and reached up and ran her finger tips down the side of his face, her hands were cold as ice, he just nodded and put his arms around her and drew the cold and wet lioness against his chest. “Its ok love, I’m here,” he said softly stroking her wet mane. The lioness buried her face in his broad chest clinging to him like a frightened child, being in the panther embrace was the only thing that soothed her tortured soul. “Let’s go home,” Panthro whispered in her ear. Once the others showed up they got Leanna in the whisker and took her back to cat’s lair. When they got back home, Myra and Cheetara took the lioness to the panther’s room while Panthro went to the med bay and got his leg looked after. Once the two women got the lioness settled and made sure she was sleeping they left her alone. “So have I proven my point yet,” Schwenk’s voice echoed in the lioness’s mind. Leanna woke with a start and looked around the room, “leave me alone,” she said clutching her head. “Not until I get what I want,” Came Schwenk’s reply. “There’s no way I can give you what you want,” she said shaking her head. “You just let me worry about that...all you have to do is go back and get my body...I will let you know what to do after that,” Schwenk said. “If I do this will you stop haunting me,” she asked. “Maybe,” he said suddenly appearing beside her. “Please stop this,” Leanna said moving away. “Tell you what...I’ll make you a deal,” Schwenk nodded. “What kind of deal,” the lioness asked cautiously. “I’ll stop these little visits until you retrieve my body if,” he smirked. “if.....if what,” she asked. “If you leave your mate,” Schwenk stated. “What...are you insane,” she shouted. “No...I’m dead,” He snorted, “thanks to you...now think about it...if you don’t do as I say....I will drive you insane...how’s it going to look if anyone see you like this..Talking to yourself...never mind the little fact about your dark side...which I seem to have a knack for making the ol girl come out”. “No..I can’t and I won’t,” Leanna hissed. “You can and will, “Schwenk said reaching out and touching her shoulder with his finger tips. The lioness shuddered as his icy fingers touched her flesh, “See I can do more then just get inside your pretty lioness head,” Schwenk smirked evilly. Leanna looked at him, her eyes turned jet black, “back off meat sack,” she growled. “Ahhh there you are,” Schwenk smiled, “you know I think I like you better...you my dear are a cold calculating killer...I like that in a opponent,” he smirked. Raven just looked at him and growled, “Bet you wish you could kill me right now...don’t you,” Schwenk said leaning closer, “now you be a good little kitty cat and go fetch my body “. “What...right now,” she asked “No....a year from now...of course right now you daft cow,” Schwenk snorted. “I can’t...I have no way of getting back to Third earth,” she said. “Then I suggest you find away,” Schwenk sneered, “or do you wish to give birth to your son in a prison cell”. The lioness just looked at him, “Yes, I know all about the brat you carry”. “I will find away back just before everyone wakes at first light,” the lioness sighed. “I’ll be back to make sure you do,” Schwenk smirked and vanished.
