Aminita had settled in better so had rhe others but at current everyone was shut up in their rooms avoiding the powerful angry lionsess. Pots and pans flew. Friggin stupid males and their pissing contests shed felt him reach out felt him in trouble but wouldn't leave the house incase it was a trap to lure the strong out and hurt the weak.
When he finally got control she was livid and this was the out come. Hearing vehicles and smelling lion she stormed to the door and when he attempted to open it he'd be blocked by about buck and a quarter weight of furious female lion with a metal laddle." are you out of your ever livin effing mind.when your getting pounded on ur supposed ta fight back what kind of half arsed lion just lays there signaling help when you knew i couldn't leave them?"
She motioned behind her then noticed the boy sucking her teeth and letting him pass seeing the other visiters she growled." an i spose i gotta feed this lot to then?"
She wanted to laddle him up side the head badly.

As Tibs loaded the whelp into the car with him Ray shoo i=his head. It was a soft hearted move. It was why he knew for all of his strength he would in his opinion would not make a good Rex and why he avoided it like the plague. The boy was a would be enemy and had to learn what that meant. Yeah he was a tool a potential weapon and the first thing you did in war was sabotage the enemies weapons. Not his call to make they were here to make sure that Tibs made to his challenge and after that see to it that anyone who thought he would be a victim would find the error of their ways.
“I guess it is.” Was all Ray said as he wheeled them through back roads according to the GPS to their destination. He didn’t bother to make small talk and neither did anyone else. The boy was out or seemed to be but his ears still worked. It was a bit much but he knew he talked in his sleep sometimes and therefore others could definitely listen in theirs.
The new Rex was a kinder man than him and that earned some respect but Ray was Ray and would even if he’d brought the boy along would have kept him as a prisoner. Didn’t mean the new Rex wouldn’t but he doubted that he would. He wore his feelings on his sleeve. Ray simply drove turning on the radio as they neared the Pride house. As they disembarked the firey dirty blonde rshing from the house made him smile like nothing else. She had as much metaphysical might as the boy though he was sure hers was backed by far more control.
Ray chuckled as the other Vindexes began paring down to their third line gear." You don’t box do you sweetheart. He’s doing the Rope-a-dope. He’s suckering the other guy into thinking he won and then gonna hit him with a few combo’s and put him on his back."
Ray was a street warrior so he was already down to his third line gear. The stopped looking at the massive building inhaling the scent of lions and taking a second to enjoy that not the smell of dissipated fear. "If your cooking is as spicy as your personality I’ll order pizza.” Ray joked as he nodded to specter to take point on the ground search. All this foliage and greenery made him want to hunt which he was expecting was the purpose. So that meant there were traps and other things out there at least judging by the fact there wasn’t a fence or any other security features.

-continued from first week back-
Tibs couldn’t help but smile. She was small but incredibly hostile he loved it. As he shook his head at pepper. “that’s our pepper. Humans were present can’t let the guy out me so I lose my license to practice besides it only hurt some. But Eric is truly pissed off now, and really thinks that I am an easy mark. The challenge is tomorrow, but he might try something tonight. But he’s all but giftwrapped. Well the kid, when he wakes up, I need you to talk to him see where he’s act and what you could get out of him. as I need to know where he’s from and how is he infected as young as he is. Then I’ll figure out what to do with the kid. That would allow Pepper to draw her attention the kid and not to Tibs as he just wanted to soak in and sleep.
Tibs really was grasping at straws as he was not sure what to do with the child he smelled like swamp so that didn’t tell him anything, it’s not like Tibs would head into the Bijou but somebody might need to, and that would be important later. Now that Hiero’s lions were here Tibs did not need to call on any of his friends. Walking up to the lion that seemed to be in charge Tibs stuck out his hand “Names Tibodaux, never got yours though.“
Walking up the stairs He looked to see if Amiata was in the room or if she had left. Either event Tibs could understand so he was calm for the most part she was just frightened and tired of the fear Tibs could understand that completely. So depending on his motives and what he was there to doTibs would decide to keep him around or send him back where he came from.

Anita quietly watched the interaction between New Orleans and his Regina. She wasn’t very strong but she had the care and the rolling pin aspect down pat. She chuckled as if not for several different decisions she would have been her Rex's Regina. She was the strongest lioness in her Pride but she was no one’s trophy and that was an aspect that was needed as a Regina. She couldn’t play Suzy homemaker or hell make anything but sandwiches. It wasn’t in her to be nice simply to be nice. She was a bite first and bite hardest sort of girl.
Damion and David simply shrugged signing to each other that the little lioness would probably win this one considering she had a weapon. They had become infected through their mothers paranoia and forcing them to get inoculated before they went on their tour of Africa. Her decision cost them their tour and almost had them placed in detention. Their mommy dearest saved the day to make up for her initial paranoia. She sent them to their crazy uncle in upstate New York who was a paramilitary recluse. He helped them in ways no one would understand. He wasn’t infected but he was afflicted in his own way. His insanity helped them find sanity in their situation.
Santiago rubbed his jaw thinking of the last job he worked with Chicago. He refused to learn any of their names despite their not sticking to the plan. They weren’t supposed to know anything about each other aside from their cities. Yet the twins as he thought of the East coast guys and Chicago seemed to through the rules out of the window. If anyone the only one he’d try to know would be Denver she was a hot piece of lioness. Yet there was something else there that made him know she was probably more trouble than she was worth despite how much he knew the ride would be good fun.
Raphael just wanted to get home. His mate was seven months pregnant and if not for having given his word he would have dropped the role he was trapped in. It had taken everything in him to keep form just killing the Rex and staying with his mate. He knew however that if he did the Pride would fall as he was not a Rex in training or in fact. He was a Vindex. It was all he knew it was ll he would evr be. He knew how to avenge not protect. Watching Specter he dropped what gear he could and took the one on the mans hip. He nodded at the lioness who was reading the rex they were backing and moved on. She seemed like a handful and reminded him of Katelyn.
Specter didn’t allow himself to be caught up anything but the job. The job otherwise he would probably kill Chicago he knew the man before he was a lion and despised him. His family was trash going back three generations. Each and everyone of them. They deserved to be buried and neutered. So he focused on the job security would be the next step and he would do his job secure protect avenge then leave.
Andres watched the little one as she snarled at her Rex and smiled. He knew what that was like before Antoine showed him the trade he had been his lover and would often out of care make that error. He knew now to not show that much care in public but it was nice that there were still those that could. He smirked and moved on taking up the rear. It would be an interesting job.

Eyes flicking to the big mutton chop he was cute but she knew the type" shug you couldn't handle my spice mix and look like a cheese pizza type"
She didn't realize shed stepped into Regina roll but someone had to be looking at tibs again. She growled" are you serious? Eric is to dumb to know when hes beat or he wouldn't have come for you hes got all of pd looking for him and out of town cops and lions on his tail but still he stepped to you and if they hadn't shown up were would we be tibs really? You are better then him yes you give a damn bout us but the thing he does that you don't is not act luke a human..we are more than. There's no crime in being a lion. I look at them I see who they are all diffrent but all lion. I am a lion that boy in your arms is new and probably dummer than a box of rocks but Eric made him a lion. You are trying to fight a lion war as a human and its gonna get us either hurt or looking like every ones meat. Im tired of being meat tibs. That one will be watched and if he sneezes wrong hes going in the gumbo pot not even kidding. You are letting someone eric made in our safe place. Guns arnt always going to save the day."
Her peice said she handed him the ladle took the boy who weighed more than she did but took him down the stairs to the new shifter area puttin hin on a cot and locking the cage. She hoped like hell this wasnt a mistake

Tibs looked back at pepper she was definatly on fire right now. Tibs took the ladel and traded with Pepper while she when to lock the boy downstairs in the basement in the new shifter’s room Tibs started his bath. He soaked into the tub, feeling the bruises heal. TIbs watched as the flesh changed color from dark and purple to his normal soft brown color. He thought of what she was saying and the why she was saying it. She did not see what the picture was only impressions and she was obviously frieghten. She sacrificed everything as well as everyone in this house sacrificed everything to be here.
If he fails then they are all will fall there is more than a chance that If he died they would all end up dead. TIbs let his lion, his aura flow freely reaffirming the hope of safety. Breathing slowly his body became whole again. While he settled in the hot water, standing up Tibs pulled on some light cotton clothing he walked back downstairs to talk to pepper to settle her nerves as Tibs understood that she just needed to be reassured. Tibs knew that he was not in any danger, Eric could have done his worse with that stupid bat, unless he stabbed Tibs with a bat shard he would never been any danger and he just needed to relay that to her.

Choosing to ignore the one rule designed to keep the Vindexs safe Ray hated introducing himself as Chicago so he said to the Rex Tibs, “Ray the rest you’ll meet in due time once they insure your property is locked up nice and tight. They will even find your holy of holies. I know its close or else this place wouldn’t have spoken to you.” Looking to the firebrand as she berated Tibs more thoroughly. She was right too many folks depended on the Rex. Not just here but everywhere there were lions the Rex was the linchpin. He and the Regina were the binding of the Pride while the lionesses were the hearts blood of the Pride the Rex ad his Regina were the soul and driving life fore. As the King and Queen did so did the Pride live or die. “Looks can be deceiving and there is nothing wrong with a cheese pizza; four cheese its good and that has to be enough sometimes just good."
Checking his piece he moved in behind the Rex. While the others checked the exterior he would check the interior. There wasn’t the feel of a fully formed Pride but it was shaping up. The scents one normally found in a Pride house were all so knew and shiny it almost made his head hurt. His could be a great place and from what he’d seen the local vampires were involved with the Pride. That put them in a nice position to have a real and true hand in the development of the area. It would be a slow thing as everything with vampires was a slow process but it was a big step having that connection.
He toured the house looking for where he would break in and do damage taking note and making a plan of where to reinforce and secure later.

It’d taken longer than he’d anted but the security was assured the others and he had tracked down the Challenger Eric was his name and his game it’d seemed was to make an army of lions out of nothing. The boys he’d chosen were barely through puberty and he was adding the most difficult affliction to them you could imagine. For that alone Ray wanted to put a bullet in his head. It was illegal and immoral yet it wasn’t his place to decide what was right for the Lions of New Orleans area. He felt the others have a similar emotional response but he trusted them to do the job and bitch later.
They moved through the camp quick as death tranqing those that thought about shifting it wouldn’t hold long but it would hold long enough for them to do what they’d come for. They confronted Eric letting him know this time was short and where he and his motley band would need to be come nightfall the next day if he wasn’t there they would scour the city and its outlying areas and kill every boy in his camp every lioness he’d infected and drag him bloody and half dead to the fight. Or worse they’d make sure the police knew exactly where to find him so he was shot down like an animal in the streets.
Before he had a chance to mount an affirmative defense they left him with the gps to the site they’d mapped out. The area was open and accessible easy to get to and completely secluded. They’d found the Venatorious here and had taken no pains to booby trap it or otherwise make it inhospitable. This was a challenge for the Rexdom of the New Orleans area there was a certain mystical importance to it and no lion worth his pelt would sabotage it.
In less than a twenty four hours this would be settled and they could get back to their lives.

Eric was caught mid thrust when he felt the mass of furry fury rushing his way. He caught sound of cries of alarm and one half roar cut off. Pulling up his jeans he rushed out of the cabin to find himself face to face with seven heavily armed lions who’d decimated his camp in a matter of a few seconds. That fucking would be ex was annoying him something awful. He listened instead of acted as the point and goal was to outlive any would be challengers. He was preparing to stall when they tossed a bright yellow cellphone like walkie talkie at him. Catching it he took his eye off them for a second and they were gone.
Damn he thought there was no time to do much but show up and cause as much destruction as he could. He would level the would be Rex and take the whole lot of them for himself. He didn’t know how they’d found him in less than a day but they were good and he definitely could use some good lions at his command. He would rebuild the network that Estelle had and make more money as he wouldn’t be splitting profits with anyone. He could see the good life he was headed for as soon as he destroyed the challenger.

The boy had slept for a while then woken hungry and angry she had stared him down and fed him when he calmed. She sighed hearing his story and then left him to sleep more telling him Tib would come check on him or one of the others but he wouldn't be let out till the fight was over. She headed up and noticed the hired guns had disappeared but things were already feeling more secure. She went up knocked told tibs the boy was fed and sleeping and that she was going out.
No time to get a rebuttal she grabbed a handgun from her room and holstered it but then out she went.walking the grounds she knew where the traps were an smelled other things. walking until she found something shed never felt before it was lionish but more powerful than anything shed had ever felt. It called to her and she let the spirits and voices lead her till she came to the river and beyond it on an island shaded by willows seemed to be the center.
She carefully hopped across on the boulders that were obviously meant for someone with grace and strength. A human would have killed himself trying or broken something. Landing on the shore she walked in and the power hit her hard bowing her. It recognized her as a chile of the swamps and lion. It welcomed her this was a place of lions power.

He’d watched her come moving as if she were made of grace and muscles nothing as small as her could ever really have. He’d used the tracker and found himself here. He’d come to scout the location and get a feel of the place. It was like walking into a church of blood that called out to him. He was so wrapped up in the feeling that he hadn’t even thought to be his scary self.
The Cypress and Spanish moss made the place its own private kingdom where the ghosts of the past were only a blink away. He despite himself was near tears. It was as if for the first time in his life he was actually home. He was glad he’d snuck out here on his own. He could almost hear a song in the softly stirring breeze. Damn it all using his sleeve he wiped his face bringing it up in the smirk his features were made for.
“You best not go ruining all that little lion skin before I can have a chance to let the boys get at you.” Was how he greeted the former comfort girl. She was one of Estelles that had somehow managed to survive the police scouring the city looking for him and the others that hadn’t been there when Estelle was clipped. He’d listened to the reports the last day and had taken out his anger on the few fools too dumb to just lay down and stay out of his way. When he was in such a mood. One even had the balls to say good riddance and another had given kudos to Tibs for offing her showing he was stronger than he let on.
They’d learn better next time, that was for sure. At least he knew now that Tibs had taken the girls that would make things easier to start back up once he’d won the challenge. The girls all the way out here would keep them off the polices radar and he could do like Estelle and have them shipped in once the customers were lined up. Putting business out of his mind he stood stretching to his full height.
“You still dancin’ at the Felin, I hope so that will help get the cash flow going something good as we ain’t got the docks no more.”

Pepper had been so caught up in the awe of it all she hadnt smelled or felt im and now her eyes flashed to anger but she wouldnt run. Hand on her hip she sighed" I wouldnt let them boys touch me with some one elses fingers I dont know what Estelle told you but I never worked for her an when she tried I kicked her sorry ole azz so dis aint that sorta part shug"
She was nonchalant about it all and hated to admit Tibs needed to win but Eric was probably a better Rex if it weren't for how flipping off his rocker he was and how brutal he played." You think you gon win huh? Just waltz on in and take us over after Tibs looses if he does?"
She smiled " thing is had you been a little less like you an a little more like him we wouldn't be fallowing him he wouldn't have ever got the chance but you to dam mean an hurtful he cares and it maybe what we was waiting for..some to not try an pimp us or beat on us for once"
She never stopped watching him tho not even a second because she wouldn't let him catch her off guard again.

He smiled like the image of the southern gentleman that wouldn’t lift a genteel finger to so much as swat a mayfly. Truth was he was dangerous and deadly and more than a little crazy.
"Nobody’d said you’d let anyone do anything. In the end that ain’t your call. Either they’d be strong enough to take it or you’d take them either way strongest lion would win. Strongest or smartest don’t really matter none to me long as y’all learn something and get better at bein you. Strong by the way is better just in case your wonderin."
When she got to discussing the lions new savior he laughed. It was filled with a mad certainty that spoke of truths only the mad knew." I suppose you think he has a chance. I suppose you think cause he rode in on hi white horse and said he wouldn’t stand for the badness that he is the better choice?"
Coughing and swallowing the phlegm instead of spitting it on the ground here he went on. " The world ain’t all roses and sunshine buttercup. If he is as ‘nice’ as you think then he’s just gone get all you killed or worse tuck tail and try to bury his head against the mean old world. The world our world wll eat him alive in a heartbeat. You should know that either you fuck or get fucked either you survive and give back to the world all the piss and vinegar it creates for you, you break you crumble. One thing yall don’t understand is I make you all tougher. I make you all able to survive I make you all what you are. Hell new booty gone be a memory soon enough and I’ll get that hope outcha one way or another. He done already start making ya soft. I bet you got joseph in a nice warm bed. Feeding and nursing him back to health."
He knew that as long as the boy was alive he would do just enough to get them to let their guards down once they did he would get himself free and come crawling back to Eric. The camp was his life. Short of killing him they would have a timebomb in their midst.

Tibs covered himself, in a thin cotton shorts and a tshirt when Pepper came into his room spitting piss and vinegar. Tibs smiled to himself she was definitely a spitfire. She was something, while he didn’t see her as a potential mate, as he was not even sure how that would even work, he could not ask for a better partner, A better regina a better person to keep him grounded. TIbs smiled as she said she was going out.
“Yes Dear. Is there anything else I can do for you my Regina.” Tibs laughed. As she left tibs felt the pulse of her aura, as she left the door. Tibs felt the call of the holy place, there was an alien present there, Tibs felt there was something polluting the line of energy that pulsed from the place. Locking down his shields going almost completely invisible to those not powerful enough to pierce his aura. Tibs crept to the source of the pollution. He saw mostly shadows in the mossy glen and heard voices. Stepping into the shadow he listened to the two voices. He was at first going to step into the light until he saw that it was Pepper and Eric. That froze him where he stood. He listened while they talked.
Stepping out of the shadows Tibs spoke in a strong clear voice that echoed in the trees.
“I never said I rode in on a white anything, Hell I don’t even own a brown horse. I just got tired of you and Estelle and the crap that the two of you were running. If I wasn’t the better choice I would not be where I am. Deep down you know that. You are a child Eric one that throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. Estelle reach exceeded her grasp that’s why she was killed. I never touched her it was her own people that killed her.”
Tibs walked up to stand infront of Pepper. “You could not even guess what I have been through what my life was so you can keep your judgements. The only thing you ever had going for you was that you was a stronger beast that those that you ruled over. Everyone hates you they just couldn’t beat you. But now I am the stronger lion and I am not scared of you in the least. And I will draw on the power of the pride, the power of the vampires, and also the power of my own lion. Crazy or not your outgunned, outmanned, overmatched and will be easily overpowered. I know you will try to kill me so I will honor you and do the same. Once you and Estelle are both gone, I will lead the pride, and even if we killed each other, Pepper would make a better regina than you. All these years you and Estelle did nothing but make all the lions in New Orleans meat, they lived in fear of you of everyone strong.”
Tibs stretched tensed his muscles ready for whatever.

" Aw shug I was tough way before I ever met you so don go flattering yourself on my account and your boy is caged on a cot under guard so no he's not trusted I made sure of that one"
She smiled softly at him eyeing him up as he swaggered but before she could say anything else here came Tibs and she wanted to sigh because while it was great of him to show up it was probably the worse time. She listened to them both she picked up on something. Tibs said shed be a better leader. She blinked women rulers did not last long there were always men trying to move in men like Eric who would try and get into her bed by force or flirtation and then take over.
She sighed then shed do what she needed to but it would be a constant fight she wanted Tibs to win and hoped like hell she wasn't backing the wrong horse but it was to late now she gave them both room to move and would not help other than lending her strength to her Rex. She tilted her head back and took in a chest full of air letting out a sound that would raise hairs on arms if you'd never heard it. The roar was guttural and commanding she let her power reach for the lions at the house pulling their allegiance to her " calling the pride" it was called. It was used for raising alarm or calling them to attention. The answer would be a rush of power and strong smell of lion as even the ground around them answered her call.
It was now there in her and through her Tibs and his tie to here could drawn on it.. She didn't know how many eric had made but it wouldn't be enough on its own. She was sure he knew that now with the feelings around them all.
