In the morning Maria, and Arten were up getting things together. Bengali woke up, and looked around. He seen Angara watching something that was outside of the wagon. Bengali then went up beside her, and looked out. He noticed that she was watching the two who took them in.
"Give them a chance, Angara." Said Bengali.
"What if I don't want to?" Angara asked.
"That's not fair Angara. They were willing to take us both in. They're giving us a home." Said Bengali.
"She doesn't like me." Said Angara.
"That's not true. She's scared that you don't like her. Give her a chance, sister. She's trying to be a good mother to us." Said Bengali.
Bengali then went to go have something to eat. Angara then looked at Maria; at that moment, her stomach made a noise. She thought about not going, but another noise from her stomach made up her mind. Angara soon got out of the wagon, and went to sit down next to Bengali. Maria then handed a plate of food to Angara. She then went to sit next to her brother, and then started to eat. Maria was shocked, but she didn't say anything. Arten then came over; Maria handed him a plate, she made one for herself, and then they both went to eat.
After about an hour they had everything cleaned, and put back into the wagon; they then were on their way again. Angara thought about what Bengali told her, and she looked at Maria. Soon she looked away because she seen an arch way.
"Welcome to your new home Angara and Bengali." Said Arten.
Angara and Bengali then came up behind Arten, and looked out at the cats that were going about their daily routines. That is when Angara noticed something, all the cats didn't look like them. She and her brother would be the only white cats in the village. She got Bengali's attention, and when he looked at her, she pointed at the cats walking around. That is when she said that they would be the only white cats in the village. Bengali asked if that was going to bother her that much.
"Arten, welcome back. I had a feeling you'd be back today." Said Malor.
"Malor, anything interesting while I was away?" Arten asked.
"No, just glad that it was quite while you were gone." Said Malor.
"Hello, Malor." Said Maria.
"Hello, Maria." Said Malor.
Malor then looked into the back of the wagon. He noticed two white cubs; he asked Arten about them. Arten explained about the fire that took their parents. He added that he didn't want them sent to a temple only to be separated from each other later. Malor wasn't happy, he told Arten that the village wasn't able to care for two white tiger cubs.
"Malor, the village won't be taking care of them. My wife, and I will be taking care of them." Said Arten.
Malor said good luck, and just walked away. Arten knew that Malor wasn't happy, because of his family's experience when he was a cub. Bengali and Angara seen the look that the cat gave them as he passed by. Bengali then asked about the look that they got. Arten turned to look at Bengali, and told him about Malor when he was a cub, and what happened when a family of white tigers visited the village. Angara really didn't react to what she heard, but Bengali got angry. The cat had no reason to blame them for anything from the past, since they weren't even born then.
Maria then broke the tension by saying that they should get home, and get settled. Arten agreed, and got the wagon started again.
