Kimaria He was new to this world, so very new, and yet already questions had begun to form in the little cub's mind. Questions that kept him from smiling and from laughing, questions that kept him anti-social and unable to be happy.
Aleady little Pekee'dunia the white cheetah cub was filled with doubts.
The grey spots that covered his white body and bright green eyes made him very easy to see against his green cover and already he was beginning to hate the jungle. It was noisy, humid and difficult to move, especially with his clumsy paws.
Hmmf...the little cub clambered over some vines that blocked his path only to find himself getting tangled up in them. It was here that he hung, his body twined with green foliage as he stared dolefully around him. If a predator came along right now they sure would find themselves an easy snack. PhiferWolf Another day and another adventure. The little cub was growing and the more he grew the further away from home he would wonder. Today he wanted to see the lake again where Kimaji showed him before. The jungle still towered over him, he just smiled, I'll be bigger.
He followed the green covered path that he vaguely remember following. If he just kept walking then he'd find the river and from there the lake. Ger just kept his head down, teal eyes stuck onto the path ahead of him. Then he heard a strange noise, he jerked his head over in the general direction. Adventure meant new meetings, and adventure always made the adventurer stray from his desired path. The lion cub struggled through the foilage, getting his paws here and there. He tripped over an uprooted root and rolled in front of a white feline.
"Hey, there." he greeted, clearing himself of some tangled greens. Ger looked at the feline. Feline body, slim, svelte, and a fluffy tail. "Are you a leopard?" he asked bluntly. He only knew of three felines, lions, servals, and leopards. Servals were small, lions had tufts on their tails, so that left leopards. Ger just smiled innocently.

Kimaria "Leopard. No. Hate them." The cub mumbled, despite teh fact he had no idea what a leopard was. Then deciding it was high time he got out of the mess he had gotten himself into. He wriggled helplessly for a moment, hesitated to glance into the eyes of this lion cub before giving a great sigh.
His ears drooped and for a moment he looked quite fed up, "I suppose you find this all highly amusing, don't you?" His tone was dull, low and utterly miserable. PhiferWolf Ger huffed, "Of course after saying that you are a leopard hater." he turned his cheek and crossed his paws. Even though Kujack was a close friend and an adult at that, he didn't like others that talked down to his species.
Ger's teal eyes shot back at the struggling feline and smirked, maybe a little more time. Then he'd help, though....watching him squirm up there was sort of amusing.

Kimaria "Well go on then, just walk on by and leave me here. No one cares. No one." He let his legs dangle pathetically above the ground and for a moment one might find that they pity him.
The poor depressed little guy.
"I'd be better off just hanging here. Perhaps something will come along and eat me for breakfast. No one would care. No one." PhiferWolf "Aw, come on don't say that." Ger chuckled. He slowly made his way over to him cut a few vines with his claw. And hoped that the one he cut didn't make him fall.
"Don't talk like that. I used to say that all the time before." He did...to himself, he'd never let others know how he really felt. Jahazara, Ezeoha, Mosi, Kikore, Jamaa, Topas,....even Kujack. "That was until I met my Dad." he said with a smile. He missed Kujack, the fuzzy, bitter leopard, actually he wanted to play with him some more. "Ya just got to wait a little while."

Kimaria "It's only the truth. So just go, I'll just stay here and have a miserable time." His whiskers tiwtched and for a moment his green eyes seemed to darken. His miserable attitude had been known to get on the nerves of his siblings but Pekee had no intention of changing.
He was who he was and he couldn't help that.
"Dad...your dad? Does he care about you because I bet he doesn't. He definately doesn't care about me. No one does. I have a father and a mother but where are they now? They don't know I'm gone. They'd be glad of it." The words he spoke were all false but he was unaware of it. To him it was truth and no one could persaude him otherwise. PhiferWolf "Kujack isn't really my dad, I just call him that." Ger replied, his tail swishing behind him. "He's tall and bitter. Heh, he doesn't like it when I get too close to him. He's always saying, "Ew." whenever I do." Kujack, a funny leopard, but Ger loved him nevertheless. It's been a while since he saw him though.
Ger suddenly pounce the other feline. "I said stop saying that!" he growled playfully. Perhaps he has to knock it out of him, or just get his mind off the thought. "Because I do."

Kimaria "You call some random leopard your dad? How wonderful." His tone dripped with sarcasm. "He sounds like an awful creature, I hope I don't have the misfortune of meeting him."
As the other creature pounced on him the last of the vines snapped and the cheetah cub was squished beneath the golden lion cub.
"So you're attacking me now? Can't say I'm surprised..." He didn't bother trying to wriggle free, just lay where he was as if accepting his fate. PhiferWolf Ger hit him on the head, "Hey my Dad is not some random leopard. Sure he doesn't like it when I am close, but he still cares for me." he said. His ears went flat, "At least you have a father....I haven't even met mine before. But Kujack is better than any other that I have met. And does sort of care for me....in his own bitter ways." he spoke, sort of darkening the mood even more.
Ger just tapped the feline again, "I said I cared about you didn't I? Come on, stop saying that." he said rolling off of him and pawed at his side. "So what's ya name anyways and what are ya if your not a leopard?"

Kimaria He took the hit with only the smallest of winces, his eyes drooping sadly. "I don't think he does. I don't think he cares at all. Why should he? You're better off without a father, what's a father for anyway? Pointless..."
He got up onto his paws and shook his fur, wrinkling his nose a little. "I'm not worth caring about. I'll just stay here and hope I dissapear."
He turned as if to walk away, moving slowly and sluggishly with his head down and tail dragging against the ground. "You can call me Pekee'dunia if you wish but I've been called other things. No one cares about my name."

PhiferWolf Ger scowled, "Stop that!" he lunged at again and pawed his head, "Get those thoughts out of ya head! Dad does care about me! He does! I won't let you say otherwise!" he said, pawing at him. Though what he said was sort of true, is Kogoko even cared for his own blood then he would come for him....but he hasn't. Ger just continued to paw, "Stop saying that, Pekee....stop...." he trailed off, tears beginning to form. He knew that Pekee was true, if his true father cared for him then he would come to Pride Rock....

He didn't react at all when he was struck, thinking it rather suitable that he was treated in such a manner. He shook his head and continued his sluggish walking, pausing only to give another miserable reply.
"Okay, I'll stop." And with that he clamped his jaws shut, his vibrant green eyes staring into the cub's. What was that water in them for? His head tilted slightly and his spotted tail curled around one hind leg. His ears drooped further and after a small sniff he turned to face the golden creature.
"I don't understand. Why do you fill your eyes with water?" He hadn't known that such a thing was possible.

Ger sobbed, "I used to be like that...." he murmured, "Never knew my father, no brothers, no sisters....all I had was my mom. And now, it's been harder and harder for me to find her every night as if she is ignoring me. I felt like you, like no one cared about me." he spoke, tears rolling from his eyes, "I knew I had a father, I knew he was alive, I wanted to find him he is all I have left now. If he cared about me, then he would be with me. I felt alone, unwanted, and an outcaste." then he started to smile, "Then I found Kujack. Someone who really cared about me. Someone who would take care of me." he smiled, blinking away his tears. Kujack was the only other one that cared for him other than Trina, his close female friend.
"Pekee, don't give up just yet. YOu'll find someone, if not your parents, then someone else. Just give it time." he urged, smiling with slight tears. He didn't want anyone to fall into his situation, Pekee didn't know what he had and put it for granted. Ger would easily take parents over anything. But Ger had his Dad.

"Were you? How very nice." He replied rather snappishly, pausing in his getaway to turn his head from one side to another. Which way should he go now?
"I won't find anyone because no one wants to be found by me. And I can't say I blame them."
Left. He turned in the chosen direction and continued onwards, his long, lanky legs proving difficult to use in his early days of life.
"I think I'll just stay here in the shadows and wait for existance to end if you don't mind."

Ger wasn't going to give up just yet. He didn't want to. Ger quickly scrambled after him, "So where are you going?" he asked, wiping away tears when he could. He walked along side the other feline. Pekee was one emotional wreck. Wonder what gave him the idea no one wanted him. "So tell me more about ya. I know you'll say that I wouldn't care, but I am bored."

"Nowhere is my destination."
For a moment Pekee looked quite miserable, even more so when it seemed this annoying little golden ball of fur insisted on following him. "There's nothing to tell. I'm Pekee'dunia but that means nothing to me. I am a cheetah and I am nothing special. My family is all white, all of us and I look like my father. I am not myself, just a clone of another."
He paused again to check out the brightly coloured flowers that were growing up alongside the rough jungle path - made by animals passing through - and sighed.
"Oh isn't life terrible."

Ger frowned, why did Pekee have such a negative view on things? Ger was gonna be persistant. He kept following the cheetah. His fure was so white. Sometimes Ger wonders where some of his genes come from. Not knowing what his father looks like, he can only imagine what he looked like.
"Pekee, do ya wanna be friends?" he asked, if Pekee was gonna be like this, Ger could at least be around for him now and again. The cheetah needed a friend it would seem and Ger could give that to him.

"No." Was the simple reply, "never had a friend and never want one. They just leave or let you down or hurt you. Better off being left alone if you ask me."
He paused and sent a glare back to the golden cub. "Now go find someone else to bother please." Not waiting for a response he straightened and nodded his head sharply. "Thank you."
And with that he was off again, picking up speed in his desperate attempt to get away.

Ger's determination sank when Pekee disappeared. Ger had to get back to Kujack before losing him. Ger made it a motive to get back to Pekee someday. The lion cub got to his feet and started back out to the savannah.
He glanced back into the forest, seeing a small glimpse of white run past the trees. Someday....
Now to find that bitter leopard.
