Thanks to Money100 for writing this chapter.

Diego smiled at Shira as he held her close. Then he looked at the moon. He realized that it was getting late and decided to head back to the cave the herd slept in.

"C'mon Kitty. Let's get back to the others."

Shira nodded and lifted her head away from Diego and stood up carefully. She looked at Diego.

"Two things; thank you. And, don't call me Kitty."

She said with fake anger in her eyes. Diego laughed and the two started on their way back to the cave, unaware of two pairs of eyes looking at them. One with relief, and the other with a murderous glare, one intention in his mind, kill.

...

Ellie looked at the two sabers in relief. Her dream wasn't true. But she couldn't shake that feeling that something was a threat to someone in the herd. But she didn't know what or who. She sighed as she saw the two sabers in their way back to the cave. She figured that she should be getting back too. So she turned around and walked off. Meanwhile, at this same time, a saber with a black pelt, a white tuft of fur on his head, and red eyes, was thinking.

"She doesn't belong. We must kill her. Pathetic bastard. She must die."

The saber then turned to a few of his pack members that followed him.

"Leung, Tibias, Sylvester, and Logan."

The four males stepped forward.

"Yes sir."

Leung said.

"I want you guys to spy on that lump of fur. Let me know when we could get her alone, know her routine."

The four sabers nodded.

"Yes sir."

They said and ran off. The leader smiled evilly. His plan was working. He chuckled. Then a red and orange sabress walked over to him. She had red on her paws, ears, tail, and a red stripe running down her back.

"The plan is working, my love."

The leader said without even looking at his mate. She walked over to him and rested his head on his shoulder.

"I'm glad, Nero. I can finally get rid of my sister."

She said. The leader reached backwards and stroked his mate's head. The tigress purred.

"Let's get back to the others. They would want to hear the plan. Plus, you need rest."

He said as he looked at his mate. She nodded and started on their way back to the others. As they walked, Nero and his mate went over the plan. They knew that the saber their target was hanging around with was close to her. Probably a mate? And this is exactly what Nero needed Haifeng for. She would take the most important person away from her sister.

"The plan is perfect."

Nero said. Haifeng looked at her mate.

"Yes it is my love, yes it is."

The two sabers laughed evilly into the night sky.

"And a good distraction for Shira at that time would be,"

Nero said while looking at his mate.

"The cub."

She finished and the two walked back to the rest of the pack.

...

Back with the others, Ellie still couldn't get the nightmare out of her head. It still haunted her. Manny saw this as he woke up from her shifting around in the tree above him.

"Uhh Ellie? Is something wrong?"

He asked. She looked down at him.

"Everything's just fine."

She said quickly. But manny wasn't convinced.

"You sure?"

Ellie looked her mate in the eye, and sighed.

"No."

She said.

"You wanna talk about?"

Manny asked. Ellie nodded. She climbed the tree.

"It was about Diego and Shira. Shira was torturing Diego by biting him."

Manny blinked.

"Shira would never do that."

Then he pause.

"Would she?"

He asked his mate. She shook her head.

"No. But that's not the scary part. The scary part is that I have this bad feeling that something or someone is going to try and kill one of us. I just don't know who."

Ellie's voice started to crack and she started to cry. Manny rested his trunk across her shoulders.

"Don't worry Ellie. I'm sure it's nothing."

"But what if it is?"

Manny looked at her.

"Then we'll do what we're best at, fighting the bad guys and saving the world."

Ellie smiled at her mate. He always knew how to make her feel better. She nodded and decided to stay with her mate down on the ground. She smiled and the two went to sleep.

...

The next morning the two sabers got up and started on their hunt. But Diego stopped Shira before she could leave the cave.

"Where do ya think you're going?"

He asked her. Shira turned to him.

"Umm, I'm going hunting? Where else?"

Diego chuckled.

"If you think I'm going to let you go with that gash on your side, think again Kitty."

Shira looked at Diego in anger.

"I thought I told you not to call me Kitty!"

Diego chuckled again.

"If you keep calling me Softie, I keep calling you Kitty. But for real, I want you to stay here, okay?"

Shira looked at him and sighed.

"Fine."

She said as she turned back to go in the cave.

"Thank you."

She nodded, and with a sigh, walked back into the cave. When Diego was out of her sight, she bolted for the entrance. She just wanted to go out. On her way out. She didn't see a pair of eyes looking at her.

"Soon my little pretty, soon."

Nero said quietly. Haifeng sat behind him with a devilish look on her face.

"You are so evil."

Haifeng said, then paused.

"I like that in a male."

She said with a seductive smile on her face.

"You want to?"

Nero said with the same look on his face.

"Yes my love. Show me you love me."

Nero pounced on her.

"Oh I'll show you love."

The two stood and walked to a nearby cave.

...

Shira paused. She thought she heard something.

"Eh, must've been the wind."

She said. But then she was pounced on from behind. She roared and the two sabers started fighting. Soon, the other saber had her pinned to the ground.

"Diego!"

Shira shouted.

"Shira are you okay? I didn't wanna do that. I'm sorry. I thought you were something else."

Shira laughed at how overprotective he was acting right now.

"Diego, it's okay."

She said, silencing him.

"Okay. I'm sorry."

He said. Shira nodded.

"Okay. Now could you let me up?"

She asked. Diego nodded and stood. Shira got up off the ground.

"Well, since you're already here, I guess you could come with me on the hunt."

Shira smiled happily and the two started to walk off in the forest.

...

Nero and Haifeng went back to their den after they had 'fun' with each other. They walked in and looked at the small pile of fur they called their daughter. Haifeng nipped the cub on the tail.

"Electra! Get up!"

The cub squeaked.

"Eep. Mom!"

The cub started crying.

"Oh stop that!"

The cub cried more at her mother's harsh tone. Electra tried to stop her crying. She really did. But her mother wouldn't have it. Haifeng picked up her daughter and dropped her harshly to the ground. She went to do it again.

"No! M-Mommy! Okay! I'll stop c-cr-crying!"

Nero stood next to his mate.

"Don't! Talk back to your mother. She can do whatever she wants to you!"

"I was the one who gave birth to you! Gods that was painful. We didn't even want you!"

"You almost killed your mother! Why couldn't you be a good little cub and stay in there?!"

"Dad! It wasn't my fault. I had to come out."

"And you had to come when your father was about to make love to me!"

By this time, Electra started crying.

"I'm sorry Mommy! I'm sorry!"

"No you're not!"

Haifeng said. Then she smiled.

"But you will be soon, me sweet daughter. Come here."

Electra crawled over to her mother's stomach. Haifeng pressed her daughter's head to her stomach.

"Drink up my little one. You need your strength."

Electra started to nurse from her mother.

"That's it little one. You're the most important part of getting rid of my sister."

Haifeng and Nero looked at their daughter as she drank from her mother, unaware of of what her parents were planning to do with her.

...

The two sabers had finished their meal, and were now up in the lake. cleaning themselves off. Well, at least Diego was in the lake. He didn't want to let Shira in the water, for fear that her bandages would be messed up. Instead, he was licking her clean. She purred happily.

"Thanks Softie."

Diego stopped licking Shira's face and looked at her.

"I'm not soft."

"Well your fur certainly feels soft to me."

Diego sighed and went back to cleaning Shira's face.

"Just glad you're okay."

Shira smiled.

"Yeah. C'mon, let's get back to the others."

Diego nodded and the two started walking off, unaware of four sabers looking at them with disgust in their eyes. Their only intention as they looked at Shira. Kill her...
