Hello everyone. Here is my new story which I have adopted from TigerNinja16. The credit goes to TigerNinja16 for being the one creating this story. I have adopted this story because TigerNinja16's version of the story has been discontinued. I hope that you will enjoy this story. :)

The sky was dark and the rain poured down heavily with the sounds of thunder raging about across the sky while Lightning shot down from the sky repeatedly as a 11 year-old female Jaguar was running away towards an as yet unknown destination and she has reason to run away.

Her name is Maya and she was running away from her father Tonie who had been following her ever since she first ran away from him and he hasn't given up on trying to find her much to Maya's annoyance as she kept on trying to get away from her father.

She was trying find a place of solitude where she can rest for a while and take a break from running for so long, but, it seems that no matter how hard she did, her father always found out where she was, which forced Maya to keep on moving.

Also she wasn't the only one that was running away, because, a few miles away, a male South China Tiger and his baby brother as well as their younger sister are also running away, although, they were running away for a different reason since they had been held captive by a group of unknown Bandits that they managed to fight off before escaping.

The three siblings had been on the run for four days while Maya had been on the run for a few hours since she has only just recently ran away from her father and she knew that her father could be on his way right now with the thought terrifying her.

She continued to run until she finally came to an cave which she entered before she eventually sat on the floor of the cave as she tried to catch her breath knowing that she has been running for quite some time and she really needed the rest.

"Ok, I finally get to have some rest" muttered Maya as she tried to catch her breath. "I just hope that Amy is alright, I can't believe that I left her there".

Amy is the cousin of Maya and even though Amy was a leopard, she and Maya considered each other cousins due to friendship that their parents had before Maya's father who is considered an uncle by Amy had changed from a respectable Jaguar into a monster that he still was to this very day.

Maya and Amy are close, they enjoyed spending time together even though, they did have their little arguments every now and then, but, they still had a strong bond to this very day and it was a bond that will never be broken, no matter, how hard, anyone tried to break their special bond.

But today is a day that both Maya and Amy want to forget, although, they couldn't since they are now separated from each other with Maya being on the run while Amy was held captive by the very Jaguar that she had considered an uncle.

Things couldn't be more bad for the two and they hoped that the other was alright while hoping that they get to see each other someday, although, they both knew that it was going to take a miracle for them both to see each other once more.

Maya had just caught her breath and she was eating some food when she saw an arrow had been fired close to her feet and it didn't take her long to check the arrow, only to see, that the very symbol on the arrow that she knew meant that it was from her father.

She quickly got up and she moved out of the cave as she began to continue her attempt of getting away from her father, but, she knew that she has to find a new place to call home or else she will be at the mercy of her own father with the latter being the last thing that she wanted to happen.

Maya continued her attempt to escape from her father and she knows that she has to find something or at least someone that would help her find a new home in order to allow her to regroup and begin on a plan to rescue her cousin Amy.
