Chapter 6 - Issues

'I hate you!' Amber screamed at the top of her lungs, tears streaming down her featured cheeks, she turned about and collected up a few more rocks from the back of her cave and with surprising force flung them at her father. Apparently she had heard all about the fight in the court of "justice" and was now trying to inflict damage on her parent in anyway possible.

'Amber cease and desist this childish behaviour!' Kalos was not exactly the figure head of a parental guide, most of his time was consumed with managing the population and Amber's upbringing had been taken care of by Zandra. This indeed was a situation that he was not best suited for and he was trying to handle it in the way he would an unruly group of criminals, not the gentle way in which to soothe a hormonal young female. He had to dart left and right on numerous occasions to dodge the incoming rock projectiles, and in the odd case one came too close he was forced to resort to defending himself with fire techniques, the last rock thrown was quite large so he flared up and reduced the danger to a puddle of molten slag on the floor.

She screamed and ran at him and began to beat his chest, it had no apparent effect and soon she subsided into meekly repeating her first efforts, 'Why!? ... Why?'

She continued to ask her father the same rhetorical question her heart beating so fast she thought it may leap from her chest, but none of this mattered, all she cared about was being with Rafeile and Kalos had denied her the opportunity of that pleasure.

Kalos was rapidly running out of things to say and his words slow moved further and further away from anything that could sound remotely caring. 'Amber you will show me the respect I deserve!' he caught her wrist and in doing so squeezed a little harder than he would have liked causing her to yelp and increase her crying.

Pulling away from him she licked her limp wrist attempting to return the circulation of blood to it, she glared at him so hard it actually made him look away briefly.

'What is going on in here? It looks like a Sandslash went mental!' Zandra walked slowly into the cave staring around wide eyed, as soon as Amber fully saw her mother she collapsed onto the floor and curled up into a ball, folding her wings and tightly wrapping her arms around herself slightly digging her claws into her sides.

Without needing any sort of other indication Zandra strode straight up to her mate and slapped him hard across the face, it was not so much painful as it was shocking she had never slapped him before. When he regained his posture he managed to spurt forth a pathetic retort, 'now-Now see here!'

'Don't you now see here me mister! What the hell did you do to our daughter? Can't I go into the woods for one day without you causing her some sort of mental trauma?' Kalos was un-eased by his mate's bluntness.

But being the uptight guy that he was he just bit his lip and tried to remain on top of the situation, 'I have done nothing but stick my neck out for the ones I love and what do I get? I get rocks thrown at me then slapped for no reason!'

Zandra just snorted in response before raising her arm and pointing to the whimpering figure of their daughter, 'oh so I see, that's what the new definition of sticking your neck out for someone is, is it? What did somebody change it while I was out?' Flickering her head away from a shocked looking Kalos, Zandra gracefully strode over to Amber and sat down at her side. 'Amber dear it's me,' Amber stopped crying long enough to stare watery eyed at her mother, 'why don't you tell me what happened?'

Slowly Amber related everything that had happened since Zandra had left on the morning of the trial, the moment she finished her mother stood up and glared at her mate as she walked up to him, he flinched slightly but nothing prepared him for what came next, out of practically nothing Zandra speedily lifted her knee and it came to full contact with his groin.

The pain that Kalos now felt was unparallel to anything else he had experienced before, his mouth flew open and saliva sprayed forth as he fell onto his knees clutching his extremely tender area. Zandra stood over him disgusted, 'what the hell do you think gives you the right to govern Amber's life like that?'

Still Kalos refused to be beaten in the matter and his answer was more coughed then said, 'the f-fact that I'm her farther.'

'And I'm her mother but do you see me telling her exactly what she can and can't do? Or attacking the one she loves? The only reason she is still here is because of him!' Zandra resisted the urge to kick him again.

Shakily he began to rise, 'do you see me sneaking around with the son of the enemy and doing some sort of cross breeding?' He winced at the pain still brooding in his crotch.

Kalos's words just hit Zandra like a wave of ice cold water; she could not believe that he would say something so cold.

'Take that back...' Amber walked slowly towards her father her face darkened full of loath, and as she came right up to him she glared upwards, 'I SAID TAKE THAT BACK!' Her chest rose and fell in quick secession as she roared her command at him.

Zandra came up quietly behind her and took her hand and made Amber look at her, 'Amber leave him he's not worth it, he's not the man he once was... come-on we're leaving.'

This comment Kalos picked up very quickly as his daughter and mate made their way towards the entrance to their home. 'And just where the bloody hell do you think you'll go!?' His anger and worry mixed into one to end up in a very un-thoughtful way of expressing his feelings.

As the two females exited the cave Zandra threw a glace that spoke her words but she said them anyway, 'we're going away from you and you're over inflated ego to somewhere you won't go.' and with a final disrespectful flick of her head both here and Amber took off into the sky heading north...

______________________________________________________________________________

Rafeile awoke in the familiar surrounding of his parents home, and for a few blissful moments all memory of the past few days seemed lost to him, like his mind had become a sieve. He gave into a long yawn followed by a stretch as he flexed all of his stiff muscles, and in doing so he brushed against something warm lying next to him.

It was still dark so whether he knew or not he knew who lay next to him will remain unknown, idly he looked down at the vision of beauty that lay motionless next to him except for the slow consistent breathing that raised and lowered her chest. To him it was plainly vision of beauty and no more, so losing thought and sense of himself he licked the side of her cheek, but as he ended his loving gesture to this female his memory hit him with a redeeming force. Rising quickly he stepped quickly and quietly towards the exit, he hoped he had not awoken the female but too little to late the deed was done.

'Ohh that felt nice' Madane dreamily gazed up at Rafeile, lulling him with her eyes, 'how about I say good morning?' She rose and moving as seductively as she could she in a sense glided over to him. Hooking her arm around the back of his neck she accomplished two things, pulling herself closer, and putting him at her level so she could lock muzzles with him. Rafeile felt as though he was fighting a lost cause, he was so ashamed of himself loving every moment that he was with this siren, when he knew his heart belonged to Amber.

Then he flinched breaking the kiss in his surprise and pushing Madane away, 'Hey! What are you doin?'

Madane had become enveloped in the moment and the hand she wasn't using to pin Rafeile had crept its way down his stomach and into his sheath.

'I err... nothing' she turned purple in the face out of pure embarrassment; she had not expected to be turned down especially at that sort of moment. She felt her own stomach churning, 'why doesn't he want it?' she kept asking her self the obvious question over and over again to herself.

'Nothing!? That's just a little more than nothing!' That is where he decided to draw the line, to him it was unacceptable he would mate with no-one other than Amber. His body wanted otherwise, he found himself literally struggling to keep control because it was "that time of year" and Madane's scent was growing stronger.

It was no surprise to him that Madane started to cry, 'I can't control myself! ...I've had to go through this pain three times... I'm sorry if I seem to push myself on you,' she then only words after that Rafeile heard where, 'I just can't do it again!'

Doing the only thing he knew to do to calm her he took her in his arms and kissed her as affectionately as he could, the tears stained his face as they rolled down hers.

'Rafe... HOLY HELL! My eyes! Argh it burns!' Breaking yet another kiss from a somewhat dazed but happy female Blastoise Rafeile spun round to see a regular sized Wartortle standing in the entrance to the great tree screaming his head off at the sight he was seeing.

'Leo! What did I tell you about barging in on me!?!' He boomed walking towards the Wartortle.

'Ewww, how can you do something like that... that's just... ewww!' Leo covered his eyes for a second.

Madane straightened herself up then walking up to Rafeile she entwined her arm with his, 'hi there Leo... wow you've grown since my last visit.' She giggled and poked her mate's side.

'That's disgusting! You're supposed to be his friend or summin and now you're acting all lovey dovey and playing face invaders!' He scrunched up his eyes and stuck his tongue out of his open mouth while making gagging noises; he was mimicking the act of vomiting. 'How can you do that?'

'Like this' Madane bent down and kissed Leo ever so lightly on the cheek. He stood for a moment before going pink and running out of the room.

'MOM!'

Rafeile chuckled, finally he had been able to get rid of his annoying cling-on of a little brother without resorting to violence, he never liked hurting his brother but some times siblings as they are can just get on your last nerve.

'Aww your little brother is so sweet' Madane watched Leo run right out before turning back to face Rafeile 'Now where were we?' She took him in her embrace again pressing her lips against his as her tongue snaked its way inside his mouth exploring, and trying to provoke his much larger tongue.

'Rafeile are you in there?'

Once more Rafeile was forced to break the kiss and for some reason part of him was angered by this, 'I told you to bloody well leave me alone! ...oh...err hi mom...'

Shelia stood at the entrance with her hands on her hips much like Zandra, 'excuse me? What have I told you about using such vulgar language? And have you been picking on your brother again, because I just saw him coming running out.'

'Just having a bit of fun mum, must've gotten carried away sorry.' He winked at Madane who had begun to blush.

'Oh I do wish you wouldn't he gets terribly upset about it, I don't know if your aware of it but he thinks the world of you... anyway there's a young girl here to see you, it's about one of your friends... Dante I think,' she paused briefly trying to recollect where she had heard that name before, 'Oh! I almost forgot, two of your friends came by looking for you last night one was Dante, but the others name seems to have escaped me...'

'Myron' Rafeile put her back on track by answering her question quickly.

'Yes Myron that was it, two fine strapping young men,' it was at that moment that Shelia realised that Rafeile actually had an arm around Madane's waist, she sighed dreamily, 'you two are so perfect for each other.

'Thank you ma... mom.' Madane corrected herself remembering that technically they were now in-laws, it would all be finalised after the ceremonial bit.

'Well Rafeile? Are you just going to stand there looking blank or are you going to assist your female caller?' Madane gave Rafeile a little nudge in the ribs as his mother stated the obvious.

He nodded and left the room quickly thanking the fact he had an actual excuse for leaving, Madane's expression became distant as he exited.

'Madane? Dear is something wrong?' Rafeile's mother again being on the pinnacle of awareness.

'Um well maybe, it's just that...' her voice faded out of Rafeile's earshot and he shuddered at what they may discus.

_____________________________________________________________________________

'Hi there Rafeile!' A happy looking female Blastoise greeted him, 'wait... where's Dante?' She looked over his shoulder expecting to see Dante walking nervously behind him.

'I can't really say that I know, I lost him somewhere along the way, but don't worry I'll help you find him.' He hastily added that last part as she dropped her head in sorrow.

'Is he... avoiding me?' Her eyes were glassy as though see was on the verge of bursting into tears.

'No! No, he's with Myron you know those two, they're probably on they're way here right now...'

______________________________________________________________________________

'We're lost!' Dante moaned frustrated at the fact that he had finally built up the courage to meet up and go out with this attractive Blastoise, and they couldn't find her.

'We are not lost. I just found a short cut, a detour.' Myron strutted out in front of Dante sure that over the next hill or so he'd find some sort of sentient life.

'Riiiiight, is this going to be like that last short cut back there? Coz I really hate Spinarak,' he paused for a moment shuddering, '...webs...'

Myron looked quite offended by this, 'hey we got through all right didn't we?'

'Yeah I guess so... but do me a favour would you? Stop and ask directions.' Dante's eagerness was reaching untold boundaries.

'Err let me think about this... No'

'Come on man for once just admit your wrong for once and ask directions.' The Nido was becoming annoyed.

'No'

'Do it'

'NO!'

'Can I help you gents?' both Myron and Dante both halted their conversation as they stopped in front of a rather large male Blastoise.

'Erm...' Myron hesitated, still surprised by his unexpected appearance.

'Yes you can!' Dante quickly stepped forward and pushed Myron to one side. 'Can you tell us where Rafeile lives?'

'Sure I can I'm heading there now, not to impose but I'll kinda need to know who you are, he is the son of the chieftain after all.' He looked Dante over quickly.

Dante wavered for a second wondering why this stranger was being so uptight, 'ok... I'm Dante and this is... Myron?' he looked around suddenly aware that Myron had left the vicinity, but it wasn't hard to find him and Dante nearly split his sides with laughter when he caught sight of his friend.

Upon being roughly pushed to one side Myron had lost his footing and fallen head first into a tree firmly lodging his head into it's trunk, 'oh yeah laugh it up now coz when I get outta here ooo you're gonna get it!' Myron snarled while pushing hard on the tree in an attempt to free his head, but all effects to sound menacing were muffled and it just sounded as though he was mumbling.

'Hold on there friend I got you' The Blastoise male calmly strode up to where the unfortunate Zard had caught his head and with a single sharp tug on his shoulder pulled Myron free.

Myron was pulled out with a little to much force and fell from the tree to the floor of the woodland, but was quickly helped up by both of the Pokemon he was with. Brushing himself down Myron checked everything thing about his being was I one piece and turned to properly talk to the newcomer, 'thanks for that, but I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage, your name is?'

'The names Rictor,' he extended forward a hand so large it could easily hold Myron's head, he shook both Myron's and Dante's hands, 'Sorry bout the name checks an' all but you can't be to careful nowadays, weird stuff appening all over the forest what with all these raiders popping up here there and everywhere.'

'It's really no problem, but I have to know how did you know that we were all right after checking our names?' Dante had finally slowed down and calmed down enough to get a straight sentence out.

'Rafeile's mum Shelia, bless her heart, told us to be on the lookout for ya.'

Dante couldn't argue with that logic, not that he really wanted to any way, he was completely over egar still about his upcoming date, 'well then now that's done can we please be on our way before Myron gets his head stuck in another tree?'

Myron on the other hand had switched from bad tempered to being in a playful mood, 'yeah we should get going ya know, before Dante falls in love with another complete stranger!'

There was a lingering silence... then all three burst out laughing, 'you two are somethin' else, come on you guys we best be off Raf's probably wandering where you are.' With that they all started off in a northward direction.

_____________________________________________________________________________

It's been about a day and a half since the father daughter argument between Amber and Kalos, and nearly three days since Amber has last seen Rafeile.

Zandra and her daughter had just crossed the border from Zard to Toise territory, they would have arrived much sooner but they had to cease flying because Amber had being getting tired at a more rapid rate since the day before. They walked on for about another twenty meters of trees and undergrowth, then as they pushed there way through the last bush a burst of sunshine hit them. Shielding their eyes at first they gradually got used to the sudden change in lighting, now in front of them lay the area known as the lake of Telicis' it's waters lay as still as glass, clear and pure free of any kind of pollution, the banks that surrounded it were swept with rolling planes of grass, and doted everywhere there nearly could be were a bountiful coloured assortment of Pokemon.

The mood that had been set when the had reached their half way line dramatically took a turn for the worse when Amber fell forward Clenching her stomach, Zandra with her motherly instincts shot like lightning and caught Amber, gently she put her daughter in an upright sitting position.

'What's wrong dear?' Zandra checked Amber's temperature when she had been given a second to settle, but Amber did not say a word.

Zandra took it on herself to find out what was wrong, call it being in the job description of being a parent, so sitting down in front of Amber she decided to address the matter directly.

'Amber dear I have to know, why did you lose your temper when your father so rudely suggested crossbreeding?' Her complexion changed from stern to gentle.

The female fire type said nothing and just continued to stare blankly off into empty space, the dormant expression on her face implied she was not in the frame of mind to discuss it, but Zandra being the kind of woman she was would not be beaten.

'Does it have anything to do with why you are becoming tired so quickly?'

The words of her mother seemed to be breaking down Amber's mental defence, and slowly in reaction to that she started to uncurl her arms from around her stomach revealing a small but noticeable bulge.

Zandra's eyes lit up as she gasped at the sight, she knew what had happened to her seven year old offspring, for she too had experienced having the "bulge", 'your-your pregnant!?' her words were spaced and quick, 'by who? Rafeile?'

Absent mindedly Amber nodded while running her hands around in circles on the bump.

'I'm so proud of you!' Taking Amber by surprise Zandra began to cry lightly as she leaned forward and kissed her daughter on the forehead then hugged her in a tight embrace.

Amber spoke for the first time since her outburst at Kalos, '... you mean you're not embarrassed by me?'

'Embarrassed? Dear child I'm over the moon!' As for the father of your child or perhaps children, that lovely boy Rafeile well, you don't need me to tell you that you two mean a lot to each other,' she paused and shuddered in excitement 'ooo... I'm gong to be a grandmother!'

Amber smiled and released a relived sigh her mother was so supportive, she had expected a long lecture but what she got was a congratulation.

Through the joy and surprise of it all the two did not notice that advancements of three male Charizard until they were right in front of them.

'Well hello there ladies.' The one to the left seemed to be the upper of the three and so addressed them first.

Zandra stood up quickly and turned politely to face the three newcomers, 'I'm sorry gentlemen can I help you?'

'Why yes, yes you can. You see the season is upon us and we could not help but notice that you two lovely ladies are no attended to... hint, hint.'

'Sorry to disappoint you boys but we are both already spoken for and I do not plan to go back on any sort of thing that serious, so please be on your way before you cause a scene.' She turned back to face Amber sure that she had made her point reasonably enough but was unexpectedly pulled back.

'Look here missy' the males had caught a whiff of Zandra's scent and it was driving them wild, 'we haven't had any sort of action since the start of the season, and my groin is starting to hurt. Besides I always get what I want.' He began moving his hand down her hip line.

SLAP!

Amber's hand forcefully came into contact with the horny Charizard's face allowing a brief stumble which in turn let Zandra spring free.

He shook his head in a sort of swaying motion before raising his face grinning widely, 'heh... I like em feisty' he took a step towards them.

Amber really didn't understand what happened next because what she saw happened so fast she literally blinked and missed it, one minute there was a danger of being raped right in front of them then he was soaring through the air backwards, landing on his two friends with a small amount of dust billowing up around them.

'Like em feisty do ya!? Fucking pervert!' The confused mother and daughter looked to where the voice had come from and saw a Nidoqueen bending over the males and picking one up by his neck, 'now y'all be leaving this turf hear?' she threw him back down to the ground and took a step backwards, all the males thoroughly scared and confused scrapped their way to their feet and fumbled of as fast as they could.

'And if I ever see your sorry asses around here again I'll open up a can o whoop on all of y'all!' When they had all truly faded from sight the female folded her arms and muttered to herself, 'spineless cowards... good for nothin men...' Then quite slowly she rounded onto Amber and Zandra who looked completely stunned, 'you gals alright?'

'Yes thanks to you young lady,' Zandra smiled warmly, 'and who might we owe our gratitude to?'

'I'm Rocksenlily... but the people who know me well just call me Rocksy, and it were really no problem the males are always like that this time of year, horny gits all the way through the season.' Rocksy put a finger to her chin and looked thoughtful for a moment, 'say I never caught your names.'

'Oh yes of course I seem to have forgotten my manners, I am Zandra and this is my daughter Amber.' Zandra continued to smile.

'Get out!' Rocksy opened her mouth wide gaping.

Zandra was taken aback by the utter suddenness of Rocksy, 'e-excuse me?'

The Nido suddenly realized what she had said, 'oh soz bout that, I just meant wow... really?' Zandra clearly didn't understand slang which was acceptable due to her background and upbringing.

Pausing for a moment to think over Rocksy's interest in the matter Zandra became uneasy, 'Indeed... anyway not to seem rude in any way but we really must be on our way...actually.' Zandra took a step towards Rocksy and lowered her voice, 'you wouldn't happen to know the direction of Greenwhich Forest would you?'

'What the Blastoise Capital?'

'Yes.'

'Well kinda, I ain't that good with directions I could show you easy like but not really tell you... if you wouldn't mind me tagging along with you that is.' It seemed Rocksy had taken a liking to the two.

Zandra didn't want to put anymore stress on Amber then that was needed, seeming now that it was open knowledge to her that her daughter was pregnant and all. 'It's just... hmm how do I put this? You see it's a very delicate matter, ooo this is harder than I thought it would be.'

'If you don't want me around I can understand it, I ain't really that high profile kinda women you are.' Rocksy received the subtle message Zandra was trying to get across.

'No, mother it's alright if bringing Rocksy means we can get there faster then there is no question of what we should do is there? Anyway it would be enjoyable to have some more company would it not?'

Zandra smiled and shook her head, 'always the kind to others who you don't know, my little girl.'

'Soo I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you do want me to tag along?' Rocksy found this all to be not unlike a drama of sorts.

'Yes'

'Okay then, but before we go something's been nagging me ever since I heard your little chat with those males... where is your mates?'

The last comment Rocksy made hit a nerve and Zandra began to pout, Amber sighed deeply before answering, 'We are getting away from my asshole of a father and going to my mate in Greenwhich.'

The Nidoqueen looked puzzled, 'that's a bit off init? I had no idea there was any Charizard kicking back in Greenwhich.'

Amber giggled for the first time in a long while, she didn't know why she found it funny but all the same it felt nice, 'that's because my mate is not a Charizard.'

'Not a... well then who?'

'My mate is a Blastoise called Rafeile.' Amber said this flat and plainly not thinking much to it.

'SHUT UP!'

The pregnant female jumped at the sudden surge in Rocksy's volume, 'Pardon?'

Again Rocksy remembered she couldn't use slang around them and so rubbing he back of her neck she continued apologetically, 'Sorry I did it again didn't I? So do you mean Rafeile as in Rafeile son of Balgor? The actual Rafeile the toughest guy this side of the forest Rafeile right? You mean him? He's practically blinking royalty!'

'Royalty? Toughest guy this side of the forest?' Amber quite dumbly repeated all of Rocksy's questions back at her, 'I had no idea he was in some sort of hierarchy, and I knew he was strong and all... but the strongest?'

'Hell yeh sister! Built like a mountain that one, he's got muscles on his muscles!' Rocksy continued to go on describing Rafeile like he was some sort of god.

Amber drifted of subject slightly, 'yeah I kinda noticed the muscles,' she sounded rather dreamy.

'Whateva floats your boat girl, still it'd be nice to have a fella that could hold his own like that, not like the wimps round ere.' The large blue female really didn't think much of men in general so it seemed.

A cheeky smile snaked its way onto Amber's otherwise innocent looking face, 'well if you are interested I may know a guy who would be your type, and he's your species.'

'Shoot, I ain't got nothin to lose,' Rocksy was pretty sure it Amber's idea would turn up dry.

'The best part is we'll most probably find him where we're going because he was travelling with Rafeile, he is a well built twelve foot tall stone white Nidoking, his name's...'

'Dante!' Rocksy quickly became un-relaxed and excite as she finished Amber's sentence, 'oh my god what a hottie! If only all men were like him I'd be in heaven!'

'You know him?'

'Only by sight... and smell... and, and... if I could get a piece of that...' Flustered Rocksy couldn't get out a straight sentence.

Amber and Zandra looked at one another smiling, 'it sounds very much like you have a liking for this young man. That is if I didn't know better, because we both know you wouldn't be interested the anti-man kind of woman you are...' Zandra was acting very smooth.

Rocksy paused and thought for a second, '... so if I take you to Greenwhich the fastest way possible could you... erm I don't know, introduce me to him?' She looked just like a hopeful child the night before Christmas.

Amber clenched her eyes shut tightly as she laughed quietly; Rocksy had gone from a tomboy badass, to a little schoolgirl at the mention of one name. 'Sure I see no reason not to help a friend once we're there.

Rocksy jumped forward into a stride, 'excellent, then what are we wasting time here for? Let's go!'

Ambers giggles subsided into a loan painful moan as she slumped forward again holding her stomach.

Yet again Zandra was by her daughter's side with nanoseconds soothing her as she groaned, 'Amber dear this may sound a little private but when did you and Rafeile mate?'

Rocksy stopped all at once and her face went blank at what she heard, 'she's pregnant?'

'Yes, but please don't make a big thing about it in front of her, it is a very sensitive matter and it is also the main part of the reason we are out here.' Zandra was facing Amber the whole time she was talking, checking Amber's temperature and listening to her stomach along the way.

'Oh... sorry,' Rocksy was in disbelief, a cross bred child?

When Amber was finally able to answer she still struggled, 'th-three and a half d-d-days ago...'

'Oh dear that's means we have just over a week until birthing,' the tone is which Zandra said this worried everyone.

The concerned mother motioned Rocksy to assist her to help Amber up, and together they gently lifted her up to her feet, were she stammered slightly to her side and rested most of her weight onto Rocksy.

'We must get there in at least four days or she won't be able to move without risking the egg or eggs, is that possible from here?'

'Yeah, but you came the long way around from White Cliff so I make take a little amount of time but it is possible.' Rocksy looked around, 'unless there is any sort of mishaps.'

This was good enough for Zandra as long as it was achievable, 'good then the faster we get there the better.'

All three slowly set off in a eastwards direction, all aware of the long trek they faced, but none of them wanted to mention it so it was a silent start.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Not far off from where all this had been going on behind some undergrowth the three Charizard males that had harassed Amber and Zandra approached a silhouetted figure.

The moment it started to speak... if you can call it speaking, all three shook like a cold wind had just blown over their skin, it's deep chilled voice slow and depicting, 'was it them?'

'Yeah boss it were them, but there was a problem, err that bitch Rocksy got in the way and...'

'Silence! You pathetic excuses for males, the berries in this tree behind me have more influence than you... at least they could choke someone important, but instead I get you... beaten by one female...' It was a scare for the males when they realized their "employer" had just completed disappeared without them noticing.

A few seconds passed before the smallest of the trio spoke out while laughing at the other, 'Ha! You just got served, screwed over and spat out in one sentence!'

'...Shut it fucktard...'

To be continued...
