" hmm..." charlite&nbsp; looked at the ground as she walked.&nbsp; <span style="font-style: italic;">what am i doing here?</span>&nbsp; she asked herself over and over. she kicked a rock and sent it flying.&nbsp; " ya" she growled and moved on. she'd been&nbsp; walking&nbsp; south for days now, no food, no water.&nbsp; sooooooo hot.&nbsp; 
<br />" hey?" a young cheetah walked up to her. 
<br />" what?" charlite rolled her eyes as the cheetah approached. 
<br />" who are you? never seen you before?" 
<br />" the real question is: why are you stalking me?" 
<br />the cheetah stopped charlite walked on. " huh?"&nbsp; 
<br />" like you don't know what i said. "
<br />" well, im tapanga." said tapanga, proud of her name. 
<br />char turned around.&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="font-style: italic;">what am i doing?????&nbsp; </span>charlite frowned. she wasn't as cheery as she would like to be.&nbsp; " im charlite, call me char. " she moved on.&nbsp; 
<br />" wait!" 
<br />" NO"&nbsp; charlite sprinted as the sun fell on the horizon.&nbsp; she never wanted to be spoken to again.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<br />
<br />3 long days later: 
<br />
<br />
<br />charlite was STARVING she needed food. she'd walked far enough so she couldn't see Pride Rock anylonger. " good riddance."&nbsp; charlite growled.&nbsp; there was a tall figure in the distance. " what kind of animal walks on 2 feet?" she narrowed her eyes and went to find out.&nbsp; char screeched&nbsp; the figure looked her way. " WHAT ARE YOU?" 
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jammie looked confused. she never saw an african animal in the little town before. she ran to her father as the cat roared at her.&nbsp; " daddy! daddy! there's a big cat outside, can we keep it!!??"&nbsp; 
<br />" sure dear. "
<br />"yay!!!" 
<br />the father cought charlite and dragged her into a cage. 
<br />" GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!" charlite hissed and growled. 
<br />" fiesty, heh?" the father stared at her from inside the small cage.&nbsp; he never heard her screaming, just roars, snarls and hisses. the girl smiles at charlite. 
<br />" let me go!" charlite whines. " it's hopeless. " she rolls her eyes and drags her claws on the cage bottom.&nbsp; the girl cringes.
<br />&nbsp;"ow, kitty don't do that!" she giggles 
<br />" im no kitty child." 
she growls.&nbsp;&nbsp; ( now youve probably figured out charlite wasn't as nice back then, havn't you?)&nbsp; charlite manages to knock the cage over. 
<br />the man comes back with a rifle, and a steak. he opens the cage. charlite tries to run, but the man aims the gun at her face, and charlite backs away.&nbsp; she settles in and eats the steak 
<br />" ick! you could at least give me zabra!" charlite yelped.
<br />" aww kitty purr. "&nbsp; said the girl
<br />charlite rolls her eyes. " YOU IDIOT!" 
<br />" now honey, let kitty have her dinner" the man said petting his monkey. 
<br />" whatever." charlite growls and turns away. she slept on and off all night, keeping her guard the entire time. 
<br />in the morning the cage was opened. charlite smiles and tried to run out. " ouch! " when she passed by a rock, her neck shocked her. " ouch!" she tried again " ouch!" she rubbed her neck. " nuuuuu!!!!" she has a leather strap with a buzzer in the front, shock collar. " no. no .no.no.no.no.no.no.no!" with every " no" she banged her head against the cage. 
<br />" daddy! kitty upset!!!" the little monkey screeched. charlite winced. "&nbsp; daddy!" the monkey ran off, and later brought back a group of monkeys without hair. " hmmm..." 
<br />" get away from me!" charlite hissed, and growled, even roared, and swiped her paws...... charlite saw a man approach her with a gun,and after that... nothing. 
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />charlite woke to the sound of cranes and lions roaring in the distance.&nbsp; " home?" charlite tilted her head. " or am i dreaming..."&nbsp; she stood up, wobbily at first. " whaa"&nbsp; 
<br />" DADDY SHE'S AWAKE!" screamed a high-pitch voice.&nbsp; 
<br />" oh god, it's back." 
<br />" DADDY SHE'S AWAKE, SHE'S AWAKE!!!!"&nbsp;&nbsp; the monkey wouldn't shut up. 
<br />" SHUT UP MONKEY!" charlite screached, nobody heard her scream, just another roar for the humans.&nbsp; she rolled her eyes, and began walking north, back to priderock. she figured that was where she truley belonged. 
<br />
