Hunted

{name:Kai#|#picture:7}Kai looked at her confused. Did he know how to hunt? He was a cheetah...one fo the fastest land mammals to walk the earth. He could tire the animal out for running for hours. And he loved it.
Ya I can actually, and no problem.
He tried smiling at her trying to be appreciative of the thanks. It didn't look very appealing but atleast he tried. His ears perked up when the smell of salt filled his nostrils. Without another word he was off. He'd be back. He ran for what seemed like hours but was only maybe a mile away. He stopped at a sandy strip of land and felt the cold water lap his paws. The sea spray blasted his face making his eyes water and squinch. He was so excited! He had found a place where the female could wash up and help heal those horrible cuts. He ran back to her quickly and panted.
Salt..not to far from here. Can you make it?

{name:Aurie#|#picture:10}Aurie rolled her eyes as the cub finally came back. "How far away is it," she said softly, almost resignedly, all her bruises throbbing in time with her heart.

While he'd been gone, she'd gotten the rest of her herbs, and they were gathered in a little pile at her feet.

Without meaning to, her eyes focused on the dirt on his paws. From the amount collected there to the type and the way the land was slowly changing around them... "About a mile, correct?" she asked, finally. "And about the hunting, I meant in the forest. Not in the open." There wasn't open-plain prey in this part of the woods - you needed stealth and patience for this prey... not the speed and endurance you would need to hunt on the open plains.

As a jungle cat, herself, she was faster than lightning - faster than a cheetah for short distances. But only for the few feet she would need to lose a predator among the trees.

That was when she caught the scent...

She screeched, and faster than anyone could see, she was up the nearest tree and shielded by the foliage.

{name:Kai#|#picture:7}Kai looked at her puzzeled..He noticed she had collected herbs and they were by her feet. Strange jungle cats these days...But then when she said hunting in the forest he thought about it... I've never tried hunting in the forest...but it cant be much different then when I'm on grasslands? Just a few dodges of trees and leaps over bushes...piece of cake...

I know how to hunt.
He didn't have to explain his true ability...he was a cat. He could hunt. It couldn't be much different from the forest, could it? Suddenly the female was up in a tree screeching...the noise made his head spin and his ears tightly closed over his head blocking out as much of the sound as possible. Why had she jumped up in the tree? He grabbed a few herbs she had collected and slowly and efficiently clawed his way up the tree.

His tail stayed put keeping his balance. Cheetahs werent meant for climbing trees unless there was real danger...he looked at her playfully and sat next to her.

What's the matter, cat gotchur tongue??
He snickered at his own cheesy joke. But then a horrible stench filled his nostrils and he squinched his nose..what on earth?

{name:Asaku#|#picture:0}Asaku lay panting in the shade of the large trees surrounding him. He had recently taken down and killed a large male kudu and lay by the carcass. The large lion had heard sounds in the foliage and was listening carefully, wondering who was slinking through the trees. He wasn't sure how far away they were but he could smell their scents on the air. The male stood, opening his mouth to get a better scent the other felines, the lion could tell one was male and the other female. He roared deeply before making loud grunting sounds. The ground vibrated under his huge paws and several birds flew from their perches, startled by the sudden display. Whoever they were, Asaku wanted them to know where he was and who the valuable kill belonged to.

(Sorry for disappearing and I hope you don't mind me joining this roleplay. Also, I dunno what the whole picture thing is about so sorry XD)
