The wind was blowing hard, she could feel it in the tree and in her fur. It was whipping up what ever its invisible hands could grab, and taking it to some unknown place. Yet her eyes were closed, and a smile lightly placed on her face. She could hear it, even if it was very light, she could hear it. The wind. It was beautiful, like a lullaby her mother once sang to her while she was sleeping with her sisters and brothers. It had been such a long time ago, before the sound of gunshots deafened her ears, causing so many problems to her and her family.

Emerald eyes opened wide, shocked as she remembered that horrible day. Poachers. They killed her father and two of her sisters. Drug them off somewhere. Somewhere... Mehta opened her mouth, a soft whimpering yowl escaped as her nightmare played in her head. When would it be time for forget and live past it? When? Her eyes stared toward the ground, the grass was whipping around like the seas waves. It was beautiful, but scary as well. What was hiding in that sea of grass?

Shifting her weight on the branch she scanned the area, forever watching for the animal that took the life of her family members. Forever afraid of what they might do to her. She would never leave this place, not until her family came back.

Olayinka was braced against the wind with her head down and eyes narrowed to slits. Bad weather coming wasn't good. Now while she was so heavy with cubs. She was already having trouble enough to get into trees.

She paced slightly, a small growl in her throat. She should find shelter if it was going to rain but she needed to hunt at least something. Her speed was being greatly hindered and she'd been chased away from her kill a few hours ago when she couldn't get it up a tree.

Not a scrap left even for a vulture after the lion was done.

Her ears twitched and she thought she heard the wind whisper something. Like a name. Shaking herself she began to sniff at the base of trees trying to find a safe one to survey her surroundings with.

She paused catching the scent of another female and began to scan the leaves. Sure enough she spied the female and stepped back judging her. She wouldn't have noticed her with her green markings if it weren't for the light base at the end of her tail. Grunting she decided to actually be social for once.

"Is this your territory?" The gruff voice asked.

Well, at least she'd started conversation. It was a start.

A scent traveled to her, another leopardess was close! Green eyes quickly darted to the ground where another female stood, she was large and grumpy looking. Was she taking shelter here as well? Cocking her head lightly the tan female smiled down at Ola before dropping off the branch she had taken shelter in. The question that Ola had asked falling on deaf ears. She could hear the wind, but anything else had to be a loud. Shouting even.

Sparkling green eyes stared at the creamy female, she was with cubs, she could tell. Her mother had been like that once, when she was younger. Something felt odd though, where was her mate? She had to have one around the area somewhere. Scanning the area again she was now looking for another leopard, or feline. Her mate.

"Where is your mate? You must be so tired." Eying the feet of the stranger she quickly looked to her face. "I am Mehta." She shouted again, her smile bright at find some company in the storm.

Hearing the other yell when she was so close, Olayinkia gave a small glare in her direction ears flattening. "I'm not deaf." She groused digging her claws into the tree and making her way up. "I don't HAVE a mate. That's my problem." The pregnant female groused, pausing halfway up to catch her breath before making her jumping climbs onto a low sturdy branch.

"What are you doing here? Is this your territory?" She huffed lightly.

Cocking her head to the side she heard the leopardess speak of her lack of mate. Why didn’t she have a mate when she was most obviously full with children? It made absolutely no sense to her. Did something maybe happen to him, or worse… was she taken advantage of?! Her eyes grew wide as wild ideas filled her dimwitted little head. Thoughts of pain and torture or of drama and leaving her loved one behind to die. It made her lower lip wiggle just thinking about it.

“You poor thing!! I shall help you!” Unfortunately for Ola, Mehta didn’t have another volume, not in a storm as loud as this anyhow.

Rushing towards the tree, Mehta jumped at it before climbing to her all time favorite branch and staring down at her new found companion. What great luck she had, finding someone like her in the middle of her field. “Territory… not really, I just live in this tree waiting…” Emerald eyes mellowed suddenly, thinking about her wait. How long had it been since they had left her?

Olayinka flatted her ears against the shout and a blast of thunder. "I don't need help." Came the gruff reply as she licked one of her paws. She watched the younger leopard climb up the tree after her. When they were fairly equal in height the other scooted herself away. "Waiting? For what...?" She asked hoping to take the conversation off of her.

Mehta’s ears twisted on top of her head. She really didn’t like talking about her family, but she didn’t like lying either, especially to guests. Staring out blankly, emerald eyes watched the new female for a couple minutes before she finally decided to speak.

“My family left me here…” she began, the wind picking up as rain started to drum hard on the earth below. She was thankful now that she had been left in the tree. It was sturdy and strong, tall and hardy. It would never fall to a pathetic windstorm like this. “…said they would come back.” Looking towards the ground she felt the sting of tears well up, but she just blinked them away.

“I was still a cub then… look at me now. Still a fool sitting in a tree waiting for a family that…” she couldn’t bring herself to say it. To admit she was left behind by them. They didn’t mean to leave her behind she told herself. They loved her…

Olayinka listened to the female's sob story and looked away. "So they left you and what? You hang here waiting endless like a dog told to stay. You should move on, kid. My mom said she'd be back but guess what? Guns and leopards don't mix. So guess what? I didn't stay like I was told. I went out and found a life."
