-Kahili rolled her eyes and smiled.- "Showoff." -She jumped down from the last ledge and looked around.- "Which way?" -She looked both directions and then at Aura.-

Aura sighed `I am not sure...` she began trotting deeper into the canyon. Bones, and skulls were scattered around. She avoided them as she hopped over branches and rocks.

"Well, let's split up." -Kahili suggested and pounced the opposite direction.- "Go!" -She leaped ahead and sprinted down the canyon wall.-

Aura smiled `Okkey dokkey!` she yelled lunging forward. She sped around boulders and dead tree limbs as she ventured deeper into the darkness.

-As Kahili rounded the corner, she looked up to see a large opening to the canyon.- "Well, I found the way out." -She said to herself and smiled.-
-The cheetah bounded over to a lone tree and chirped, then sit underneath the shade, escaping the heat of the sun. Her ears prick as the sound of a motor fills her ears and Kahili turns around, just to see four trucks coming down the canyon opening. Kahili jumped to her feet and lunged forward, cutting the corner of the ravine again, and yelling.- "Aura. Run!"[/color]

Aura skidded to a stop as a small herd of wild boar came into sight. `What are they doing down here? Oh well, fresh kill` she smiled and crouched low. She lunged forward and began running after the running boar. She perked her ears and turned her head to see Kahili running. `Come on I am trying to hu-` she was caught off as four trucks came into sight behind Kahili. `Oh my gosh!` she yelled turning and high tailing it towards the boar. She soon was in the middle of the herd and it seemed the boar and her were running from the same thing.

-Kahili held her breath and pushed her hinds back, propelling herself forward.- "Come on, come on, come on!" -She repeated and cut off to the side of the canyon.- "Aura. Ledges!" -She chirped and ran back in front of the trucks.-

Aura felt the burn spread through her hind legs as she pushed the ground further behind her. She smiled as Kahili gave her an idea. She turned her attention to the sides just as the edges disappeared. She felt her ears fall. She pushed against the ground harder as the boar scattered leaving her behind. Aura had always been good at acrobats. She sped up a bit and smirked. She hopped once as time seemed to slow. She placed her back paws between her front as she pushed off of the ground. She flew straight up and twirled slowly in the air. She listened as the cars passed under her. She twirled onto her side and landed perfectly on her paws. She smiled and lunged forward and hopped onto a ledge and ran after Kahili.

-Kahili kept her eyes focused on the track ahead of her, but yelled back.- "Great trick, A. Now, I'll be fine, I have an idea. Climb on up the canyon." -She darted ahead, her long limbs stretching and clawing the earth below her, her ears tuned in to the roar of the trucks. Kahili took a few deep breaths and skidded to a stop. She turned around to see the four trucks coming straight toward her. One more deep breath, and Kahili leaped on the truck's hood, then over the top of the open-top of the jeep. Kahili panted and lunged toward the canyon wall, ledge by ledge, until she reached the top. Once at the top, Kahili, sit down and panted.- "That was fun." -She laughed and laid down.-

Aura climbed the canyon wall with the engines of the vehicle roaring and rumbling below. She clawed at the muddy earth and lunged over the top of the cliff and fell down beside Kahili. She breathed in heavily and said `Yeh lets do it again` she laughed before standing and shaking her fur out.

"Nahh. I saw a gun when I jumped over them. I was just lucky to get away before they found the bullets." -Kahili stated and stood up.- "How 'bout we go to the river? I'm getting thirsty." -She looked in the direction of the river.-

Aura sighed and nodded trying to catch her breath. `Oh but we speak of this to no one` she said giving a warning look to Kahili. She had always been ashamed of her acrobatic skills. It was odd for a large cat to have skills like this and she had no intention of being an outcast. She then softened her expression with a smile and began trotting towards the large river that cross the wilderness park. It was the main water source for the park. As she neared the water she crouched down and began lapping up the crystal blue water.

-Kahili nodded.- "Gotcha." -She loped alongside Aura, and when they finally reached the river, she crouched down and lapped up the water.- "Watch out for the lions." -She said between drinks.-

Aura smiled and stood `Yeh I can sme-` she was cut off as she looked at the ground. It began to shake `Can you hear that?`

-Kahili pricked ears.- "What is it?" -She felt the ground shake and the water rippled.- "Let's go check it out." -She began to crawl towards the sound, her belly just raking the dusty earth.-

Aura turned to follow Kahili but froze `I don't think that is necessary` she said looking ahead with a horror-filled look. `Look!` she yelled. A large dust cloud formed in the distance as a large herd of water buffalo approached followed by several lions `Stampede!` she yelled. She turned and jumped over the river and shot forward `Come on Kahili!` she yelled. Her legs felt like machines as the pumped back and forth in a blur. The ground was no more than a helper now as she ran with the wind. The burn felt in her legs spread up to her whole body as she kept her pace fast and steady

"You go ahead and run. I'm staying right..." -Kahili looked around and saw a leaning tree.- "Up that tree." -She ran and leaped up it and wound her way around the branches. She watched Aura run.- "Climb the tree!"

Aura nodded as a tree caught her attention. She sighed and took a small hop as she readied herself for the jump. She launched herself off of the ground and hooked her front paws onto the first tree limb. She threw her back legs over her head and twirled over onto the limb. She landed and sighed `You okay Kahili?` she asked turning and trying to look through the dust cloud.

"I'm fine." -The female chirped and peered at the dust.- "Maybe the lions will kill an extra buffalo for us." -She smiled and sat down down, watching the lions chase after the herd.-

Aura smiled and sighed in relief as Kahili replied `Good, and I hope so!` she chirped and sat on the tree limb as the last lion passed below. She hopped down from the limb and shook out her fur.

-Kahili was already out of the tree and chasing after the lions.- "Let's get 'em." -She chirped back at Aura. Her legs carried her sprinting through the savanna grass and straight towards the lions, but she was careful not to run too fast, for the lions may turn and attack her.- "Get out of here you worthless brutes!" -She growled at the lions and laughed as they growled back.- "What you going to do to me? I can outrun all of you in the blink of an eye."

Aura appeared beside Kahili and winked `Lets do it` she smiled. She shot forward and hopped onto one's back. She dug her claws into it's sides and dug her teeth into it's neck.

-Kahili smiled and lunged forward, raking her claws against their sides. As the lioness skidded to a stop, she signaled for the others to stop too. Kahili leaped past them and fell in step behind the water buffalo.- "Come on, Aura. Lions are out. Now get that calf." -She chirped as a buffalo calf wondered from the herd.-

Aura jumped off of the lion and shot towards the calf. The buffalo sped up but it was no match for their speed. She soon caught up with it and latched onto one of it's legs slowing it down. `Get the neck` Aura mumbled through a mouthful of fur.

-Kahili raced past and locked her short muzzle onto the calf's neck, aiming perfectly as her fangs penetrated through the skin and punctured the jugular vein. The crimson liquid that filled her mouth satisfied her and the cheetah began the wait until death.-
-Out of the corner of her eye, Kahili spotted the mother of the calf exit the herd and charge them, but the mother was too late. The jugular vein was ripped and the life was fading quickly from the calf.- "Aura. The mothers coming!" -Kahili alerted her as she let the calf drop from her jaws and lunge toward the water buffalo. She landed on the head of the mother, right between her horns. The cheetah crawled up and bit at the buffalo's neck, then launched herself off and darted away, stopping nearby.- "Aura, she's mad." -Kahili chirped and watched as the mother nuzzled her calf for the last time. The calf's head dropped instantly to the ground, and the bawls from the mother quietened the rest of the savanna.-
