Sweet punishment

He knew she would be mad. Basilisk had not told Cataleya of his plans -- even he had not known what would unravel when he had answered Deteste's pleading call. Never had he known he would end up here, slowly coming into power, more power than he ever imagined he could hold. Sure, Tortuga was not big, nor as strong as it could be, but the potential was what captured his attention. Her call was sudden and demanding, and he felt a pit grow in his stomach. Her voice was brimming with anger; Basilisk was ready to face her. He could only hope she would understand what he had done for them, and for her children. His paws would carry him away from the lands he had come to know as home over the last few weeks, and as Cataleya came into view, he would slow his pace, his stance guarded. "Cataleya..." he began, his own lips twitching slightly as if he might snarl at a moment's notice. Somehow, he had grown fond of the woman that had claimed him -- it wasn't the kind of fondness one felt for a lover, no, but something else. She had taught him things, she had cared for him when nobody else had, even if her way had been strange and foul to some. "I have found a home for us. And for your children." There was more than that, but she had to listen. Deteste was growing older and he knew the man was grooming him for power. Perhaps even leadership. The promise was there, and he could not ignore it. |
