OK, here I am with another chapter. Hope you guys are all enjoying the story. I just went back from holidays today so I might take a bit longer to update. Don't worry though, I'll keep writing! Thanks to Leader Of Sky Clan for another awesome review!
*Edit* I reuploaded this after I realised the ending had been cut off.

Salena's POV

It was mid-morning, and already Kila was gone. How am I supposed to look after her if she keeps running off like this? I know Kila thinks she can take care of her self, but I'm just looking out for her. She's my little sister I'm just trying to make sure she doesn't get hurt.

I don't trust Timon. Ever since she met him Kila has been running off and ignoring me. She's infatuated with him. I keep trying to tell her it won't end well , but Kila just won't listen. I'm afraid she's going to get her heart broken.

"Salena, what are you doing?" I turned and found Kila behind me
"Where have you been?" I asked
"What are you doing outside my house?" She questioned without answering me
"I've been waiting for you!" I exclaimed
"I was just out getting some breakfast." She explained, and I was instantly relieved.
"Well, as long as you weren't with Timon."
"Of course not. Anyway, I was just going for a walk." She said, turning to leave.
"Ok, bye Kila." I said, waving as she left.

I know it seems like I'm being overprotective or paranoid, but I'm really just looking out for her. After all, I know what it feels like to get your heart broken. I know I can't force her to stay away from him, but I can at least try to make her listen.

Kila's POV

After I left Timon to go home, I found Salena waiting outside my house. It was all getting too difficult. When I was with Salena, I just felt guilty about not telling her. When I was with Timon I just worried that Salena would find out.

At least I'd been honest with her about one thing. I was going for a walk. I needed time alone to think about things because, as unlikely as I was to find one, I was still looking for a way to please Salena and Timon.

I walked back up to the spot Timon had shown me on my second day at the oasis. Everything I could think of would either upset Salena, or end up seperating me and Timon. All I was doing was making myself depressed. It really was going to come down to who I would choose, Salena or Timon.

But how could I make that decision? Salena was more than just my sister. She raised me, everything she did was just trying to protect me. Salena was the only family I had and she'd been hurt to badly to let someone else into her life. If I did something that hurt her, then she'd suffer far worse than me. She'd be left alone, and that would never change.

But Timon...I was in love with him. I might not have realised it then, but I did know that I couldn't go back to life without him. In only a few days he'd showed me amazing things, incredible things. Without him my colony wouldn't even be here. Timon, he wasn't like any meerkat I'd ever met. But I knew that without each other, we'd both be left empty. We'd leave a void in each other that nobody could fill.

How could I choose between family and love? One look at the sun told me I didn't have time to think about it. It was getting dark and Salena was probably looking for me already. I'd spent a whole day thinking about this and I hadn't achieved anything.

Walking back to the colony, I still couldn't stop thinking about it. My head was telling me to stay with Salena, and stop her from getting hurt. My heart was telling me to stay with Timon because I didn't think I could live without him. Whatever I did I was going to end up hurt.

Kila's POV

By now I was getting really worried. I hadn't seen Kila all day, and I had no idea where she was. I'd spent most of the day looking for her, and it'd left me no timeat all to think about what I was going to say when I found her.

Kila couldn't keep doing this. Timon was going to hurt her, I couldn't let that happen. I'd lived through that and I would never let it happen to Kila if there was anything I could do about it. Kila would listen to me, because I wouldn't give her any choice.

Just then, I saw Kila walking back into the colony. She wasn't with Timon, so that was something. At least I could talk to her alone.

"Kila," I said, walking over to her "I need to talk to you."
"Sure, what about?" She asked
"Timon." I said bluntly
"Oh. I need to talk to you as well." She replied quietly "Let's go inside."
Once we were inside my home there was an akwards silence. Neither of us wanted to start talking first.
"Kila, you have to stop seeing him. You're going to get hurt."

Kila's POV

"Salena, listen to me, give me a chance!" I begged before she could start another lecture.
"Ok, I'm listening." She said, folding her arms across her chest.
"I just want a chance to be with him Salena. I know you think that its not going to work out, but please!" I was really begging now, desperate to make her understand.
"It won't work out Kila, I'm just trying to protect you!"
"NO!" I yelled "It won't be like it was for you, I know it won't!"

Once I'd said it I wanted to take it back. Salena looked shocked, furious and completely crushed at the same time. I couldn't bear to look at her, I did the only thing I could do. I ran.
