*Middle of Nowhere*

It was an extremely hot July. A female cheetah got separated from her mother and siblings. She was having a hard time. She had been separated for 8 days. She also had been traveling without any food or water. She sighed, "Ugh! I've been searching forever! I don't even know why I'm even trying. I should just let fate take me away." She felt like just flopping down on her side. But, something just wouldn't let her. After a few more miles, she found a very small puddle. I am thirsty, at least it's water. She thought as she padded over to the puddle. It didn't take that many licks until it was gone. She thought, Well that was refreshing. Okay now I need to find something to eat. Well that won't take long. That's because, there's nothing here! The cheetah sighed and walked on. She hoped to find something. She didn't even care if there were only tumbleweeds to eat. Out in the distance she saw a figure. She smiled and quickly trotted towards it. Then she got a good look at it. It was a lion and not an ordinary one. She flipped it over. She gasped, "It's Scar!" She kind of got scared. She laughed, "What am I getting scared for? He's dead." Then she saw him move a little. She jumped back. She wanted to help him, but what could she do. She looked up at the sky. She pleaded, "Great kings I need your help! I found a lion whose acts were not kind. But, he's dying and I seek your aid." She looked at the sun. It was getting late. She continued, "Please help him. If you do, I will make him change his mind and keep him away from any heinous acts. If you don't let him stay, take my life instead." The cheetah went to sleep right next to him. As she drifted rain started falling. She smiled as she felt raindrops on her fur.

*Early morning*

The cheetah got up and stretched. She looked around and found a pond a few yards away. She nudged him again just to make sure. He moved but, it wasn't much. She grabbed his mane and dragged him over to the pond. She splashed some water in his face. His eyes opened up slowly. He mumbled, "Where am I?" His vision came to. He pounced on top of her. Scar asked, "Who are you?" he placed his paw over her throat. She choked out, "I'm Uzuri. I thought you were dead but, when I found out you were alive I tried helping you." He took his paw off of her throat. Uzuri took a deep breath. She growled, "I tried saving and you tried killing me." Scar rolled his eyes. He started drinking some water. Uzuri walked away from him. He stopped and got in front of her. Scar asked, "Where are you going?" Her ears drew back. She sat down and hunched over. She whispered, "I don't know. I'm just hoping to find someone." He questioned further, "So, where is your family?" She didn't answer. Uzuri started walking with Scar behind. She asked, "Why are you following me?" Scar answered, "Might as well, especially since we both are alone." She got confused but, smiled a bit.

*A few miles later*

Uzuri grew weaker with every step. She hadn't had anything to eat in days. She didn't feel like hurting Scar though. 'Cause for right now he may be her only friend. At least she considers him as a friend. She broke the silence between them. She asked, "How'd you survive the hyena attack?" He completely ignored her. He asked, "I'm really interested in you. How'd you get separated?" She scoffed silently since he ignored her. She answered, "My mom was in the grasslands hunting. I wanted to help her. But, I don't understand why she kept saying no. I'm almost as old as her. Anyway she was taking too long and I got worried. So, I went to go find her. I tried finding her scent but, it just moved in all different directions. After a while I gave up. I kept my brothers with me. When I went to sleep they were perfectly fine. But…" Uzuri took a deep breath and continued, "But, when I woke up they were dead. I don't know how or why. It killed me inside. They were my brothers. They were my responsibility. So I…" Scar finished, "So you ran away to either find your mother, or start a new life." She hung her head down. Scar felt awkward not doing anything. So he embraced her. Uzuri now was feeling weird. She pushed away from him. She hid her face behind her paw; she was blushing. Scar cleared his throat. He asked, "Are you possibly headed towards Pride Rock?" Uzuri smacked her forehead. She whispered to herself, "Why didn't I think about going there? I'm so stupid." He continued, "If you are I can't follow you." She asked, "Why?" He asked, "You don't remember much do you?" She shook her head. Before he could explain, she fell down. He nudged her and she barely moved. Scar put her on his back and ran towards Pride Rock. They'll probably show me some gratitude. I'm saving an adolescent's life. Scar smiled at the thought. She'll probably be some use to me. He ran even faster toward Pride Rock. Scar wanted his plan to work and fast.

I need to stop making new stories for a while. Anyway this may take me a while to update. But what do you think so far? Should i keep going? Please Review!
