I creeped forward as I watched the butterfly land on a branch in front of me. I pounced missing it by a few feet. "dang it!" I hissed and plopped off of the wood my claws sunk into. I'm usually up earlier, but this morning, my "mother" didn't want me to get hurt by some rouge lions.
I was adopted in to the family of Kiara and Kovu.
Kiara told me that my supposed mother and father left me to die with the hyenas, but my grandfather, Simba, and Kovu rescued me and Nala and Kiara nurtured me back to health. I always had the choice to leave, but I decided not too, for Shindi's sake.
Speaking of Shindi, I saw her, Demitri, and Zuri all drinking by the lake and I walked up to them, telling them about the rouge lion cubs. We decided to rest under a fairly large tree. My adopted sister rested across my back and gnawed on my ear from time to time.
Suddenly a noise became gradually louder and a zebra jumped out of no where crying for help. We saw the four perpetrators. I jumped in a bush while the girls scrambled everywhere else. Among the three there was a tanish, dark tan, and completely dark colored lion cubs and a dark grey lion cub with markings all over him.
The two darker colored lion cubs began to wrestle, but the lion cub made them stop. The orangeish one turned his gaze right to where my sister was hidden under a rock. "hey Dragor, whose that?" he asked immediately. The tiger cub started towards my sister, she cringed back. I was going to jump out to protect her, but the thorns in the bush held me in place. The daddy jumped to our rescue, growling and swiping at the tiger cub.
Demitri, Zuri, and Shindi climbed out, and I finally broke the thorns away. The four cubs gave us all looks. "so, this is the four cubs I see wandering around causing trouble" Kovu snapped. Dragor, the lion cub, was crouched down and definitely ready to pounce. "so what if we are?" Grandi, I believe I heard correctly, growled and joined his friend along with Garko.
The other lion cub stood behind the three and blinked in our general direction. Dragor changed his glare and pinned it to me. He scanned me judgingly and huffed. "it seems like you've never seen a cheetah before.." I mocked him. Father put a paw out to warn me not to walk on front of him. "sire! Sire!" a familiar gawking sound came from above.
It was Zazu and his apprentice, Mako. The flew down and perched on the branch and began mumbling about the rouge cubs, unknowing they were right there. Garko,Grandi, and Dragor tried to sneak away, but I ran ahead and cut them off. "oh, no you're getting what you deserve. Causing all of this trouble and whatnot" I said putting myself in position to fight. Dragor did the same. "oh yeah princess , you and your posse gonna take us on?" "psh, posse? I woke alone" I growled. "well princess" he spat "thats one thing we have in common" "do not call me princess.." A smirk ran along his face.
"If you run, I'll catch you" I warned. "Oh yes, because cheetah's are faster than lions" "we are" "prove it...Frayer!" He snapped and backed away from me. The lighter colored lion cub walked beside me. "Frayer's the fastest cat I know, if you can beat him, we go with your daddy, and if not, we walk....deal" Dragor smiled evilly. "Deal"
Frayer and I backed up and got into a running position. "Go!" Grandi or Garko shouted. We were neck and neck.
Then I was ahead by a nose.
Then a head.
Then halfway.
Finally I was running ahead of him, but tuckering out pretty fast. I had used all of my energy trying to get ahead of him. I started falling behind, until I actually fell and Frayer just ran. Soon followed by Grandi. Then Garko. I felt a nudge on my stomach and Dragor held a proud smile. I shook my head. "Well....I'll see you around princess" and with that he ran off.
I stood back up and walked back to where my friends and father were there griping about where the cubs went. "Syl! where did they go?!" Shindi asked me. "They escaped, I tried following but they were too fast for me....I couldn't catch the" I lied. "it's alright Sylvia, lets get home to your mother"
Demitri and Zuri left for their homes, and I trudged behind Shindi and Kovu. Mom greeted us with a welcoming nudge and a lick. Shindi and i began to play and run around for a while, then we got talking on the subject of the rouge lion cubs and the tiger.
"I wonder where they went" Shindi sighed. "I hope they never come back" I snapped and laid down beside her. "why? We could've been friends" "Shin, the tiger cub told me, before he left, that he works alone..." "Like you!" "..please don't compare me to him.." I groaned. She just laughed and nuzzled me softly "well let's go to bed...g'night" she yawned and I curled up in a ball and fell asleep too.
"I hope I never see those stupid lion cubs again!" I snapped in my sleep.
"Stupid Garko..."
"Stupid Grandi"
"Stupid Frayer"
"Stupid......Dragor...."
I was slow to say his name as the vision of the grayish colored cub flashed in my mind. "Princess" echoed through my head making me purr softly.
I caught myself and shook away the thought. "no, no I don't care. I work solo! A mate would just slow me down! I don't need anyone" My repeated silently to myself.
And with that i fell asleep hoping to not once see hide nor claw of those freaky felines.
Never.
