OOC:// Choppy post, I have not been reading lately, so my own skills have gone down... <x.x>//
Tealver paced along the hot springs banks, her eyes flickering constantly about. Tink, her only lion cub had disappeared, her little body vanishing behind a sheet of bushes.. Then a squelched cry. Panicked, Tealver allowed a call to creep from her throat. Were was she? The darling little cub she loved so much... The only cub left of her first litter...
A rustle of a bush, but nothing approached... Instead the sound of a warthogs' steps beating against the soft soil permeated the air. The lioness called again, ears flicking forth in hope. Again, nothing responded. Massive head swiveled as her eyes sifted through the underbrush. "TINK!!!" a motherly voice called out, resorting to words instead of the worried monotone lionesses produced.
Fear hit her, realization dawned on her, but she could not accept it, no... would not accept it. A low call dashed through the air as a snap of bone split through the air. Massive head turned to eye the bushes, then, she pounced. With a large roar, a strange being launched into the underbrush, vanishing before her very eyes. Silver liquids moved down, a small croon pulling from Tealver's throat.
The cry was choked with dread, fear, and worry... The limp bundle, golden pelted with silver eyes to match her own... Survivor of her first litter, had died... No more Tink, no more little smiling, curious face.... All because of that stupid creature, a creature that dared to take a bite out of her cub. She nudged her cub, wishing that she would just wake up... Say something, anything...
Anger burned within her, uncoiling from her core to consume her form. Nares flared as she took in the scents around her, but the true predator's scent was hidden behind a wash of blood and that familiar lily smell of her baby girl. Despair washed over her, drowning out her anger and exhausting her. With a low moan, she dropped to the ground, pulling up close to her cub's limp form.
Every fear, every nightmare that she had... Live before her very eyes. One last call emanated from her throat, but this one was not meant for her lost cub. It was meant for her mate, she needed all the support she could get.

Ranger was padding along looking for some prey when he heard the sound of a mother. The moan carried into his ears, then the scent of blood filled the air. Ranger picked up the pace into a run, he lept over bushes and a couple of rocks. He reached a bush and stopped, seeing a grey figure bolt through the bushes in a differant direction. Ranger padded through the bush and gasped at the site. It was Tealver and her cub Tink, but Tink wasn't moving and a pool of blood was near her.
Ranger padded over and chuffed lightly, he didn't dare go to close and risk being attacked. He kept chuffing letting Tealver he was there and not to worry. Ranger sat four feet away from the sad mother. He was sad for he had barely knew the cub and looked forward to playing with her. Ranger turned his head and looked at the path the killer had made, a growl escaped his throat but turned back to Tealver and her poor cub.

A blue-grey flash moved quickly through the forest. Kaizer, like Ranger, had been hunting. But Kaizer had been hunting farther out. Only the faintest whisper of a chuff and a moan had reached him, but it was enough. The massive tiger jumped, clear over his mates body, landing between her and Ranger, and he glared the other tiger down. He smelt blood from behind him, and his golden eyes swept over Ranger's mouth and paws. No blood. With a grunt of dissmissal to the other male, then turned and looked down at Tealver and Tink. The cub's crumpled form lying in the pool of blood said it all. He croutched, then lifted his head, letting out an angry roar that tore through his whole terra, announcing that he would soon be hunting down the cub's killer. Threat issued, he played his role of comforting mate as best as he could.
Kaizer's blue-grey bulk nestled itself close to Tealver, trying to block the view of Tink from her a little, so she could have the option of turning her gaze away from the dead cub. He licked her nose softly and made a strange sound, sort of like a half-moan, half-whine. A sound of quiet mourning. He nuzzled Tealver lightly, licking her nose, cheeks, and forehead to try and comfort her. "Tealver? I'm here."He whispered, nudging his mate lightly.

OOC:// Sorry sorry, thought people abandoned the site. <x.x> Posting posting posting... now.//
Tealver let out a low whining sound as Ranger came into the clearing, his chuffing letting her know that he was being cautious. After all, who knew what a mother would do when her cub had just been lost. She understood that... but it did not subtract from the hurt she was feeling, the strange ominous feeling that made her want to lash out and attack anyone nearby.
With a strange sound ending her whine, her eyes shifted almost lazily over to her dead cub. It was like a dream, a sluggish dream that she could not escape from. Her eyes slid in their sockets so slowly... her mate... as he approached was so... so strange in appearance. Her mind was reeling, as if in an alternate reality...
He crossed into her field of vision, his own actions tender and caring... but she hardly saw him... Hardly even saw Ranger. Eyes, silver as her own were staring back at her, cold and lifeless yet somehow pleading. Pleading for her mother to protect her from the monster, the exact monster that dared cross a mothering lion, a monster that dared tear the flesh and bowels from a cub. It was so strange, like her own life had left with her last cub.
Failure dawned on her, failure as a mother, failure as a protector. Failure as a mate. It pounded through her veins, made her feel weak and incapable of staring in the eyes of the tigers around her. Silver eyes tore away from the cub, incapable of staring at the limp form, shame bowing her head. Her voice crooned again, calling, begging for the cub to awaken and laugh at her stupidity. To say "Momma' once more. If only she could have at least killed the silver beast, but it was probably impossible. She had not seen the silver figure, only the color of its pelt.
No call came, no call bothered to even gasp from the empty, airless passageway. With a heavy sigh, she pushed her head into the chest of her mate, silver eyes flicking towards Ranger with an expression that said it all. "Track it and kill it... Fallow the scent of Tink's blood... I will be right behind you... In a moment." she growled, anger creasing her brow.

Ranger looked at Tealver and without saying anything he disappeared behind the bushes. The male slinked through the bush trying to find the scent of the small cub. Ranger kept searching only picking up the scent of deer and boar. He trotted through the forest hardly making a sound as his huge paws landed on the dirt, leaving only tracks. Ranger thought of the poor, helpess cub being attacked by some strange gray creature. A low growl escaped from the male as he kept searching for the scent. Ranger came up to a bush with a stain on one of the leaves, as the tiger's nose came up to it only one scent came to mind, Tink's. He trotted on following the scent of her murderer and then came across an amazing site.
The gray creature was eating a dead boar, its face was hidden and the tiger stayed silent. Ranger let out a loud roar before leaping out of the bush cover. The gray creature darted into the bushes and Ranger after it, the large figure followed the gray creature seeing flashes of it as he caught up. What was this creature and more importantly what it would taste like.

Kaizer nuzzled Tealver softly."It's alright. Bad things happen sometimes. And often, there's nothing anyone can do to stop them. Often, the best thing you can do is think of what happened, and do you best to keep it from repeating. I don't blame you for this. There's nothing you could have done. And even now, there's nothing I can do. Ranger's already after the....beast....and because I wasn't Tink's true father, I have no right in rushing after him and telling him to let me kill it. It's funny. Although she was so young and I barely knew her, I saw her as my daughter. And although I know I was off hunting and wasn't anywhere near, I feel as if this is somehow my fault, like I should have spent more time watching her with you, and less patrolling the boarders, scent marking, and hunting."He spoke, more to himself than to Tealver. He was usually very emotional, but now he felt as if he should be strong for his mate.
He bent slowly, glancing at Tealver as he did so, then he gently lifted up the cub's shredded body and padded over to the hot spring. One giant blue-grey paw began hollowing out a deep, small hole in the earth. Once he deemed it big enough and deep enough, he placed Tink down in it, and nuzzled the little body gently. "Good bye, my precious daughter. Your mother and I will forever keep you in our hearts."He whispered, then he stood, looking to Tealver. "Would you....like to say good bye?"

Before she could answer to her mate, a loud roar radiated from the surrounding jungle, then reached her sensitive ears. Lips pulled from massive teeth as she turned her cranium to her mate. "I can morn later, right now I will kill..." she snarled, eyes filled with rage before she burst through the undergrowth. Her silver eyes were searching for that one silver figure that Ranger had gone after... That one beast that dared steal her last cub from her. Her form skidded to a halt were Ranger had stood, nostrils flaring as she picked up her darling Cub's scent.
A loud roar of outrage burst from her throat like a cannon, and a squeal of the silver creature was relayed from not to far ahead. Her form raced forward, eyes finally meeting Ranger's steel flank before spotting the creature he hounded. Despite her being a lion and incapable of running far without tiring, she could do so for revenge.
Her muscular golden form whipped past Ranger and hurtled into the silver creature to receive a claw to the face. The being that had stolen her own cub, was a snow leopard, obviously wandering far from its perch in the mountains. With a loud, outraged roar, she hammered into the beast, batting it with her paws and leaving deep, bloody wounds upon its pelt. The leopard squealed and tried to pull from her grasp but found its self trapped beneath the lioness's heavy form. In response, it decided it had to fight back.
However Tealver already had her mauling paws at the beast's throat, her tail raised high.

Once Tealver took off, Kaizer followed. Although he too wanted revenge, he wasn't going to take the oppertunity from his mate. Instead, the bulky tiger was intent on making sure whatever scum had killed the cub he had come to see as his daughter wasn't big or strong enough to harm his mate. His powerful blue form raced after her. Once he could see that the perpetrator was a snow leopard, he stopped. Behind Ranger, he could barely see Tealver, but he felt it was enough. He sat, his body tensed to spring should the situation change and Tealver lost her advantage over the leopard, but he could tell it was unlikely.

The being struggled beneath her, its slick, lith form slipping from beneath her. With a heavy hiss, the being pulled its self to its paws, unsure if it should run or fight. Abruptly the creature took off, its body writhing and racing into the undergrowth. Tealver watched the creature, her nostrils flaring as she took in the scent of blood. Then, she began to do what lions did best. Stalk its prey. Sure the creature in question was not in site... But the scent of blood and the trail it left behind... Was kind of hard to ignore.
Stalking forward, she slunk through the underbrush with slick movements. The predator within her screamed with the pounding of her heart. The claw she had received to the face, had left four bloody scratches upon her, those scratches had barely missed her right eye and snared across her nose. It mixed the scents of her own blood and that of the snow leopard, yet she still pushed on. The hunt heavy in her heart.
It was a means of revenge, if she did not kill her foe, she would never be able to redeem her guilty feelings. After all, she had let Tink out of her sight. Her, not anyone else. If the creature survived... She was not sure if she could stand even having another litter. After all, one more litter could mean the death of one more cub, and the second throb of heartbreak... So painful she wished to just keel over and die.

Kaizer stood and padded after Tealver noiselessly but very quickly. His large blue body blended in with the shadows as he ran silently, his paws lifting well above the vegitation and his body standing at it`s tallest. He was doing what tigers did best, ambushing. He caught up with his mate quickly, and he gave her a look that clearly said that he would go on ahead and trap the killer, ensuring that she could reach it and destroy it. He even backed the look up with a soft mewl that didn`t travel far enough to reach the beast.
That done, the great blue tiger sped up, but kept his silence as he moved with supreme grace, bounding over bushes and twigs and touching down with his paws fully outstreached to minimise the sound they created. He stopped when he came to a brook and lost the scent, but a flash of white caught his eye and he continued on, only now he kept down a little lower, his movements still silent.
His golden eyes watched the snow leopard as it climbed up high into the branches of a tree to rest, it`s small, lithe form breathing heavy from running. He stalked forward, then suddenly burst out of the bush and charged at the tree, scaring the leopard higher up and cutting off any way down. He growled at the beast, his eyes narrowed, before roaring loud to let Tealver know where he was. That done he began circling the tree, his eyes locked on the leopard. In doing what it did best, climbing, it secured it's death.
(Tigers can actually run around compleatly silent.^_^)
