(That's good^^)

Anuli couldn't speak! Her head was spinning and she couldn't get her thoughts straight. But she was able to gather her thoughts enough to produce one word: "RUN!!!"

(Done^^ http://www.animationsource.org/lion_kin ... umart=7256 )

She didn't have to tell him twice, Aleksei took off running as fast as his small legs could carry him. He'd never ran so fast in his life, and he knew his life depended on how fast he could run. He glanced over his shoulder to see his sister running behind him, then he spotted a small tree, and looked at Anuli again.

- Anuli, jump to the tree! he suggested his sister, who just ran past him.

(I'll have mine up by tonight^^)

Anuli nodded, leaping up and grabbing the tree. She was scared to death, but she knew she needed to get back.

"Aleksei! Get up here!"

(Cool, I hope you liked my image^^ The next one I'm doing, will most likely break your heart... it's about Alek and Anuli finding Sergei after the stampede)

Alek looked at his sister who was already on the tree, and prepared himself for a jump. But just as he was about to leap towards the tree, a wildebeest ran by and punched him with it's leg, causing him to black out for a few minutes.

(He's not dying, right?)

Anuli hung onto the tree, her claws digging deeper into the bark as she felt dread creeping under her fur. Her brother was unconscious, and in the middle of a stampede! She needed to do something to help him, but it was like she was frozen. So, she did the one thing that came into her mind: she screamed for help. "HELP!!"

Amali knew something was wrong. She could feel it in the air, like it was lingering, trying to tell her something. All the prey she and Sergei were stalking were also tense. Suddenly, she felt something strange. It was like something was in her fur, and she wanted to scratch it off, but couldn't. She suddenly looked to Sergei. "Do you know where the cubs are?"

(Of course not, I couldn't do that! He's only blacked out a bit, don't worry)

Aleksei now regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and saw blurry figures of the wildebeest running past him, and some of them were jumping over him. Once he realized where he was, the cub panicked, and dodged the wildebeest as fast as he could and tried his best not to get hit by them again.

Sergei raised his head, listening carefully and smirked his eyes, he could hear the thundering noise the herd made, and suddenly it hit him, he realized where their cubs were. His eyes widened, and he looked at his mate.

- They must be caught in that stampede. Wait here, Ill go get them!

And with that, the white lion took off running, as fast as his legs could carry him.

(Bumpeti bump.....)

(Sorry I'm late I had a lot going on. And I sent that image of Anuli and Alek^^)

It took all she had to hold on to that branch instead of jumping down and trying to help her brother. That was only the brave part of her speaking though. The truth was that she was scared to death and if she jumped down she would probably not be helping the situation. So, she dug her claws into the branch and hoped someone would come and help her.

Amali gave a sigh as she forced herself to stand her ground. "They'll be alright." she constantly told herself.

(Cool^^ that's okay, I just bumped this up to keep our rp alive Tell me, is a character named Kamaria in any any related to Safari, or Sergei? o-O')

Aleksei now flipped into his own legs and fell to the ground, and just when a wildebeest was about to crush his head with its leg, a bigger white lion lunged from what seemed like out of nowhere, roaring and jumped in front of him.

- Dad!

(Thanks and no, why do you ask?)

Anuli's eyes lit up at the sight of her Dad racing to the rescue. "DAD!" she called, feeling so relieved, even though she knew she was in big trouble this time, if they got out of this. She simply hugged the branch closer, excitement building as she watched her father racing through the herd.

(Because Mixed speaks of Aleksei as Kamaria's nephew^^''')

Without saying a word Sergei grabbed Aleksei into his mouth, and threw the cub to a near by cliff where he'd be safe from the thundering herd, and the next thing he did was run towards the tree Anuli was hanging.

- Anuli, let go of the branch! the larger male called to his daughter, ready to jump and catch her.

(I'll talk to her. I think she says that because Kamaria is Kefir's sister and Kefir is the son of the lions that adopted Safari when he was at the zoo. And I found a way to spice up the story^^)

"I..I can't!"

Just looking down at the thundering herd was freaking her out. She tried to calm herself down, but her mind was spinning. Negative thoughts were taking over her body again.

(Yes, but she can't really say he's her nephew since she isn't in any way related to his parents. Good, you talk to her. And oo, tell me more!)

- Yes, you can! I'll catch you! Sergei called to her while dodging the wildebeest's legs.

(Yep, I'll shoot her a Pm now. And what I was thinking was, before she gets driven away, she has a crush on this lion from the Pridelands, and when she meets Kosa, her feelings get all mixed and jumbled up. Meanwhile, Alek has his paws full trying to keep both males away from his "baby sister" lol)

Anuli simply closed her eyes and let go of the branch. She felt herself falling, but never hit the ground. Instead, she felt a pair of powerful yet comforting jaws closing around the scruff of her neck. The feeling triggered distant memories when Sergei had held her the very same way and she felt so snug she fell asleep on the spot.

(Goodio, and ooh, that sounds like interesting! Things are definetly going to get complicated. I was also thinking of giving Alek a crush..)

Sergei held his daughter tightly in between his jaws, as he was making his way towards the cliff Aleksei was already on. He couldn't help getting hit at times, but he simply ignored it, as the most important thing for him was to get his daughter to safety. Now, he saw the cliff, and jumped with all his leg strength, placing Anuli carefully on the cliff, leaving himself hanging on the edge which wasn't very smart.

- What were you thinking?! You shouldn't have come here!
