Chapter 9: The Find
"Come on mama, I wanna play!"
Kanami jumped on the ground at her mother's paws, her brown eyes shinning
up at her mother expectantly;
"Just a minute young lioness, you haven't gotten your..."
The white lioness stopped as she raised her ears, hearing and then finally
seeing the buzzards flocking ahead of her;
"Mom, can I go chase the birds?"
Heira looked down at her little daughter, "alright, be careful."
Kanami smiled as she bounded off;
Heira gazed fondly after her young cub; noting with a bit of sadness how
much she was like her father, who had been killed before Kanami was born.
Unlike Heira's white fur, Kanami was a light brown with dark brown eyes; a
white stripe down her back along with her white tipped ears were the only
markings of her mother that she had. Her paws, belly, and muzzle mostly
brown but had specks of white in them.
Care free as cubs often are, Kanami skipped happily through out the lands,
roaring her cub like roar and watching the birds fly away.
"I'll be a mighty huntress," she smiled as a strange scent floated on the
wind.
Lifting her head up, the cub gasped as she spotted two lion cub bodies.
Running over, she saw a male cub laying next to a female cub. Carefully,
she walked over to the female and nudged her with a paw.
"Are you ok? Are you hurt?"
She nudged a little harder, "do you need help?"
Looking down, she saw her closed eyes, "oh no..."
Kanami whispered as the realization that she was seeing a dead cub that was
not much older than herself; and may have been the same age. The lioness
cub sat down and began to cry for the dead cub.
"Mom?"
she whimpered, wishing for her mother's comfort, "mama, mom?!"
Kanami finally yelled as tears slid down her cheeks, she had never seen a
body from her own kind before, "mom!!"
Off in the distance, Heira heard her daughter's cries and ran to the scene,
gasping at the sight that she saw.
"Kanami, get away from there," Heira said.
"But, but," the lioness cub stuttered.
"They are..."
Heira stopped as she looked at the male cub and at his twitching paw, "he
isn't dead!"
She gasped in relief, "he's hurt really bad, we need to help him."
"Mom, is she dead?"
"Yes Kanami," Heira answered as she licked the male cub's head.
"It's alright little one," she soothed, "we are going to help you."
Although he was unconscious, his once twitching paw relaxed; as Heira
carefully picked him up and walked back to her home, Kanami following
behind.
