Hi. I'm Kaltag, as you know, but I'm here to tell you a story of true friendship. It is of friendship, of hate, and of violence. But I'm sure you don't want to sit here and listen to me blab. Here's the story  I wanted to tell you:

Kaltag walked outside. Star67 wasn't outside, and neither was wolfs heart2007. she sat down. her long lioness body stretched out on the rock. She sat there for a long time. Waiting for someone to appear. When no one came, she finally got up and roared as loud as she could. Star67 appeared.

"What?! What is it?!" She ran over to Kaltag and pinned her down. "Some of us need sleep, ya know!" Star67 laughed and let Kaltag up. "But really, what is it?"

Kaltag shrugged. "Just...I don't know...BORED OUT OF MY WITS!" Kaltag growled. "Now come on! Lets do something! It's our last day before our fighting training starts and then we'll never see each other!"

The two ran off into the distance, chasing each other and, just for fun, the antilope.

"Hey Kaltag!" Star67 called.

"What?!" Kaltag called back as the dashed about the large plains.

"I bet I could race that big male antilope over there and win! And you couldn't!"

Kaltag laughed. "Yeah, I bet you could to! I'm not fast."

Star67 shrugged. "Try! It'll give you an exercise, too!"

Kaltag nodded. "You first."

Star67 smiled and dashed after the antilope. She passed it in a matter of seconds.

Kaltag went after Star67 came back. Kaltag ran as fast as she could, and lionesses were naturally fast, but Kaltag wasn't half as fast as Star67.

Kaltag came panting after Star67. "Well, there. I told you I'm slow. I need training!"

Star67 laughed. "No, no! You need practice! There's a difference!"

"KALTAG! COME ON INSIDE! ITS TIME FOR DINNER!" It was Kaltag's mother.

Kaltag said bye to Star67 with a sigh and walked back home.

It didn't seem like we played that long! Man, time does fly when your having fun!

In the morning, Katag woke and trotted over to the rock where her and her friends always met. Star67 came trotting up with Wolfs heart2007 at her side.

The two sat on the rock beside Kaltag.

"Soooo...what are we gonna play today?" kaltag asked, looking at her friends.

Star67 shrugged. "I don't know. Wolfs heart?"

Wolfs heart shrugged too. "I don't know either."

They sat there for a long time.

Kaltag didn't want to come up with a game, for she always did. She felt like she was abusing her friends and wanted them to have a chance to tell her what to play. She knew that  she'd always acted like the leader of them, even though she wasn't the leader at all.

"HEY! STAR67! YOU HAVE HUNTING PRACTICE TODAY! YOU CAN PLAY WHEN YOU GET BACK!" Star67's mom called.

"Man. I hate having hunting practice on these days! I'll see  you guys tomorrow."

"Well I guess it's just you and me now Kaltag." Wolfs heart2007 said.

Kaltag nodded. The two sat for a long time.

"Well, if you have anything to say, say it now! Cause i'm going to have to leave too, soon."

"I don't have anything to say!" Kaltag snapped, not aware of her angry voice. Why did I sound angry? Kaltag asked herself. Maybe I'm mad because STar67 is gone...well, I guess I am kind of cranky...

Wolfs heart2007 looked a little alarmed. "Good." She snapped in an angry response.

Kaltag bared her teeth. "Fine! BYE!"

The two snarled past each other.

Kaltag sat in her den. She tried to sleep, but it was hard and she couldn't grasp sleep. She was tired, but she couldn't sleep. Finally, she gave up and just waited for morning to come.

Morning finally came. She walked outside to see wolfs heart2007 and Star67. She snarled. She didn't dare aproach them. She walked past them towards her Fighting trainer and whispered into Wolfs heart's ear, "We will fight after fighting training!"

She sat, bored half to death, through her first fighting training class. the trainer was blabing on about how to block attacks and how to get past a block. All Kaltag could think about was the fight after class. then, a desterbing thought crossed her mind. Wolfs heart2007 was learning the same thing she was, and she would use these tecniques. Kaltag whipped her head toward the trainer and watched, Making up her own ways to dodge the attacks and block them. 

When class was over, battle broke out. Wolfs heart2007 and Kaltag fought each other for a long time, spitting at each other and biting and scratch and tearing out fur.

"You think Star67 is just your friend?!"

Kaltag snarled and pinned wolfs heart down, digging her claws into wolfs heart's face. "SHUT UP!"

Wolfs heart flung Kaltag off of her. "She's my friend to, incase you didn't know!"

Alas, Kaltag got mad. VERY mad. "THAT'S IT! This fight is over. Go home, wolfs heart! I never wanna see you again!"

Wolfs heart2007 snorted. "Nor I you!"

They stormed away, and Kaltag ran into her den, blocking the entrance with rocks. "MAN!" She screamed, wanting to tear off her own head. "THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! IT'S MY FAULT WE HATE EACH OTHER! IT'S MY FAULT THAT I'M GOING TO LOOSE ALL  OF MY FRIENDS NOW! IT'S MY FAULT!!!!!" She rammed her head into her bed, which was a tightly packed bundle of dried, soft weeds and leaves. "It's my fault...!" She sobbed.

Finally, she crawled into her bed, pulling a large banana-leaf blanket over her. "Why? Why, Kaltag? Why did you do this to yourself? Now Wolfs heart2007 AND Star67 hate you! Look what you've done, KALTAG!" She yelled at herself.

Finally, she shoved the thought to the back of her head. Where it wouldn't bother her anymore, and went to sleep.

TWO MONTHS LATER...

Kaltag crawled out of her bed. She got a leaf and a reed with ink at the end of it. "I am going to fix what I messed up." She muttered to herself.

She wrote on the piece of leaf:

Hi, Wolfs Heart2007. It's Kaltag. I'm really sorry for everything. this time it's not a joke. It's not a fake, not a test. It's real. I'm really, really, really, really, really, sorry. Please forgive me. I know I can be selfish and self-centered, and I know that my pride would be ashamed of me if they saw how heartless and mercyless I was being. I'm really sorry.

                                                 ----Kaltag.

Kaltag walked over to Wolfs Heart2007's den where she stayed. She slipped the leaf into the place where all Wolfs heart's notes went and walked home, waiting for wolfs heart's response.
