			             Sachmet woke up and stretched before rolling back onto her side and looking around in th hot daylight. She wondered if the rest of the pride wanted to get to know her. She panted a little then began cleaning her leg and side. She glanced at the other lions and wondered if she should try to talk to them or see if they wanted to go hunting with her. She glanced at the males and wondered what they thought of her. She had never been around males before and wasn't sure what to think about them...She didn't care though and kept cleaning herself while thinking of what she wanted to do.

			             Mable yawned and stretched as she made her way out of her little den in the various caves that surrounded the pride's land.  Her pride.  She smiled as she finally realized that she finally had a home.  A place she belonged and was welcome.  Looking around, she wondered who she would get to know first.  She'd already met the pride leaders and loved them very much.  She admired the affection they showed for each other.  As her yes roamed over her surroundings they fell onto a lioness cleaning herself.  Deciding, since she was the first lion she'd seen since coming out, that she'd go over and talk to her.  She quietly padded over to her and sat down, keeping a good distance between her and the other lioness, so as not to seem like she was invading her space. "Hello."  She chimed when it seemed the lion hadn't even seen her.

			            Sachmet looked up at the other female, Mable she remembered the leader telling her, she was sitting near her and seemed interested in her. "Good morning." She said as she licked her paw once more and then looked at her. "Your...Mable right? I'm Sachmet if you didn't hear my name. How are you this morning?" She asked as she  sat up more to look at the other lioness. Maybe they could go out hunting soon after some talking.

			            "Yep, my name's Mable."  She said as she smiled.  Mable liked being remembered.  It made her all warm and fuzzy inside.  She was quiet for a bit, while licking her paw.  Mable wasn't good at starting conversations.  She usually got about as far as the hello and was stumped as to what to talk about after that.  Randomly picking something out of her head she asked Sachmet a question, "So, what do you think about the pride leaders?"  She asked.

			            Sachmet looked at her and nodded. "Yes their very nice. Espically to let me come back after dissapearing for a while. And i'm glad to see cubs around here. ITs nice when the pride gets bigger from inside like that. New life is always a good sign." She said happily as she closed her eyes, a small cloud coming off the sun so the full force of the sun was in her face. She wondered if the other females would be aloud breedings, though she didn't really see herself having cubs yet, let alone with any of the males here for a very long time if they did say the other females were allowed to.

			            Mable smiled slightly and squinted as the sun peeked out from behind cloud cover.  She panted, the heat of the day becoming more and more evident of a harsh summer to come.  "I haven't seen the cubs yet.  I don't think they've been out of the den since being borne.  Seen Ashoka around a few times, but just him hunting for Nadine."  Mable sighed slightly and laid down on the hot rock.  "I'm kind of having second thoughts about the whole pride thing."  She looked around to make sure neither pride leaders were around.  "It has nothing to do with any of the lions.  I just feel like I'm limited with what I'm about to go out and do."  She shrugged her shoulders slightly and laid her head down on her paws.

			            Sachmet nodded. "I haven't seen them yet either. Though i look forward to seeing them. Ashoka and Nadine are strong and great leaders so i'm sure they will be great cubs and good additions to the pride." She said before she heard what Mable said about possibly leaving. "Well I see what you mean and I understand but I'm not the one that needs to understand. You could talk to the leaders when they have a chance and see what can be worked out. I hope you stay a while though, i don't know anyone here and i think you would be fun to talk to and hunt with." She said as she swished her tail to shoo some flies away as she looked at Mable.

			             A few yards away a lost cub staggered through some grass. She was skinny and half starved. Her eyes were half open as she wobbled about trying to find something to eat, or her mother. She didn't know her mother had been killed in a elephant stamped and wasn't ever coming back. Her siblings had been killed by the other members of her mothers pride cause there was no one to raise them now that their real mother was gone and the other females wanted to make room for their own cubs. Hanima called out hoping something nice would respond to her crys for help as she walked out of the grass and into the clearing.

			            "I suppose..."  Mable mumbled more to herself than anything.  "Pride living is just so different.  Something I'm not use to.  She sighed as she laid her head on her paws and swished her tail some.  "Maybe I will stay.  Not much has been happening lately but with the cubs around, maybe that'll change.'  She rose up.  "I can't wait to see the little rascals" she exclaimed, a smile spreading across her face.
 Mable's ears twitched as she heard a small mewing from somewhere away from them.  "Did you hear that?"  She asked Sachmet as the mewing sounded again.  "We better go investigate."  Mable said, her guard rising even as her body was as well.

			            Sachmet nodded and got up with her. She had heard something as well. "Yes something might be in trouble." She said. It kinda sounded like what she imagined a cubs crying might be, never having head one before and couldn't really remember her own sounds. "Maybe one of the cubs got away some how." She said as she walked into the grass with Mable to find the noise. Hanima walked out of the grass and saw a lone hyena sleeping. She didn't know what it was, never seeing one before and her mother had never told her about them. She walked forward a little and mewed again softly. The hyena's ears perked up as it opened its eyes at the sound. He turned and saw the cub and was instantly on his feet. Hanima walked closer thinking it might help her or be friendly but the hyena came at the cub cackling hungrily. The small cub ran off trying to get away from the thing that was trying to eat her yelping loudly hoping something nicer would come save her.

			            "Oh I hope not!"  Mable exclaimed.  "The cubs are so young, they'd never survive on their own."  Mable's ears twitched as she listened for more sounds to be made.  Her heart was beating frantically and sped up when she heard a yelp and then what sounded like a hyena.  "This way!"  Mable yelled as she darted off towards the forest.  The sight she saw when she got a bit farther in nearly stopped her in her tracks.  It wasn't one of the leaders' cubs.  It just didn't look like them, so she knew.  However, it was still a cub and it was being chased by a hyena.  A low growling started in her throat as she tore past the trees and sped up, head butting the hyena in the side, knocking it off it's course some.  "Mangy animal, pick on someone your own size!"  Mable snapped as she stood her ground and growled low in her throat.

			            Sachmet ran with Mable towards where the sounds were coming from. As they burst into the clearing and saw the hyena she growled angrily. The stupid scavengers were so stupid. Mable took off after the hyena and Sachmet went for the cub. She ran to it and smiled at it a little. "You'll be ok little one. Come with me." She said softly as she picked up the cub with her mouth softly and carried her off into the grass. She set her down and rested her paw on the cub. "Mable meet me back at the pride." She said as she dashed off with the cub again.
 Hanima was even more scared when the two big things came out and attacked the thing trying to eat her. She froze as one of them attacked the monster and the other came to her. It told her that it would be ok so she stayed there and then was picked up. She didn't know if these things were nice, though they did seem to be saving her, but she felt better now and thought she was safe. She set her down for a moment and talked to her. "Thank you." She whispered. "I was scared" she said sadly glad to be safe now.

			            Upon seeing the second lioness the hyena whimpered and backed off a bit.  Mable showed her teeth and continued to growl.  "If you want to live another day, I'd suggest leaving. NOW!"  The last word was said with a loud growl that sent the hyena running through the thick trees, trying to put as much distance between it and the angry lioness.
 Mabel let out a frustrated breath as she turned away from the retreating animal.  "Jeeze, that was close.." She mumbled as she made her way back to the pride's caves.

			            Sachmet stopped when she got back to the pride. She layed down the cub and looked her over, nosing her in places to see if she was hurt or had anything stuck to her. She didn't see anything so she looked at the little cub and smiled. "Hello little one. Are you ok? Would you like something to eat?" She asked the female as she looked up to see Mabel come back. "She looks ok, but in need of some food. Do we have anything left?" She asked. She looked back at the cub and smiled. "What is your name little one? I'm Sachmet." She asked softly as she pulled the cub towards her and began cleaning her.Hanima looked at the big female as she rolled her around checking to anything that was wrong with her. Finding nothing wrong she asked if she was ok. She shook her head yes. "I'm very hungry if you can something i can eat." She said with a small shy smile as she saw the other female come back. She looked from one female to the other and then answered Sachmet's question. "I'm Hanima." she said shyly.

			            "I'm Mable."  She said as she smiled down at the small cub.  "Give me a second..."  Mable said as she disappeared into her own small cave.  A few minutes later she re-emerged with a piece of meat in her mouth.  What had once been a small rabbit, and was going to be Mable's supper, was now the cub's.  Mable didn't mind giving it up.  She could catch something else.  Maybe some nice hyena for supper.  She grinned at the thought as she dropped the rabbit in front of the cub.  "Eat up."  Mable said happily.  "You're sure you're alright?"  She asked as she sat down beside Sachmet.
