 Bashira had gone for two days straight walking, only stopping to sleep at night and eat during the day. The area that she was currently residing in was highly populated with many of the various kinds of beings of the plains.
Bashira had happened upon the place climbing over the rocks that surrounded the place. Passing through this way seemed like it had been a good idea. In the center of the lands, there was a large lake that many of the creatures congregated around.
The tall grass was something that Bashira did enjoy as it allowed her slink around unnoticed. She was currently lounging in a bed of large and thick leaves underneath an overhanging canopy of lush branches. Having snuck in during the night, she had wondered in and collapsed upon it in her exhausted state.
As she breathed in the crisp air, she thought that she could stay in a place like this for a little while. It truly was a beautiful place.

Deciding that she needs a break from the pride and from Thona paying much more amount of attention than necessary which makes Nzambi feel little bit uncomfortable so she fled from the pridelands for few days. Nzambi decided to go to a watering hole which is a day's worth of walking to just lounge around and watch the drama or scenes unfold in front of them so she traveled the most distance during the dawn and dusk because the temperature is at its coolest at those times.
The cheetah female would have arrived at the watering hole while the sun is still setting but a group of hyenas tried to ambush her which forced her to run at the full speed and find a hiding place so she could rest for while before she contiunes her journey to the watering hole. When she finally arrived, the skies is already darkening and the lions are lounging around, she hisses her displeasure because she never had a great relationship with lions. Put a paw forward, put another one forward. Keep moving.. Nzambi had to tell herself as her body is ready to collapse from sheer exhaustion. Her body trembles little bit as she pants because that group of hyenas is hellbent on razing her or have her for a dinner so her break was terribly short before she had to run for her life.
Nzambi takes in a deep breath as she uses the tall grass that is near watering hole to slink closer to the water without being noticed. Crouching low to the ground, she began to drink the water while her light purple eyes darts around warily and she spots a large and thick leafed bed but she didn't notice a female laying in it. After she quenched her thirst, she 'disappears' into the tall grass and makes her way to that bed of leaves she spotted. Nzambi finally spots a female cheetah laying there as she semi-circles around the female. "Are you injured?" She inquires because no sane creatures will be laying near watering hole, that is just asking for trouble.

Her eyes were half lidded and she began to doze off. However, she was kept from entering the realm of sleep completely as her ears flicked in the direction of the sounds around her. There was someone near. Well, as tired s she was, she wasn’t up to any sort of scuffle.
So, she closed her eyes and lay as still as possible, mimicking sleep, and waited for whoever it was to pass her. Although, whoever it was seemed intent on not letting her sleep. She listened closely as they approached where she lay and she stiffened automatically, ready for anything despite her fatigue.
When she heard the inquiry, she turned her head and saw a female cheetah gaze at her. Answering warily, Bashira replied, “No....I am not injured.” She wondered who this female was, and if she was merely pretending to be concerned.
There had been times before where she had been ambushed by seemingly kind travelers.
“I was resting,” she finally said softly.

Nzambi's eyes flickers around warily because fur on back of her neck is rising up and that usually means she is being watched by someone or a group she doesn't like and she crouches to the ground. "Resting sounds quite good right now. But why this area? You are uncomfortably close to the watering hole." She returns her gaze to the female. She forces herself to relax so the female won't see that she is tens as she smiles faintly at the female.
Why in the flaming hell do I care if she is safe or not? I don't even know her! Nzambi wonders to herself as her tail flicks back and forth little bit, feeling little nervous because she could see that there are eyes on them now. "I am Nzambi." She introduces herself, thinking it will might chase any of worries that the female MIGHT have. "And we .. I am thinking its just me but.. are being watched. A pack of hyenas was stalking me when I was traveling to this spot." She simply says as she stretches her body out, flexing her muscles.
"I don't know why I care if you are safe or not. But I will suggest that you move to more safer place if you want to sleep. I guess I can stand guard while you rest up." Nzambi is suddenly uncomfortable with herself as she fidgets, not sure if she should just leave or stick around. She sits on her hunches as she turns her head away, looking around casually to see where the hyenas (if her suspicions are correct) are positioned.

Sitting up a bit, Bashira watched the other’s movements closely. She can practically smell the anxiety rolling off of her. A lifetime on her own had taught her to read others closely, for danger lurked anywhere and everywhere.
Bashira’s yellow eyes flicked behind and around the other cheetah as she picked up the presence of malicious intention. Half listening to the other female, she tried to hone in on whoever was nearby. There was definitely more than one.
Her suspicions were confirmed as the female confessed her fears of hyenas, Nzambi was it? The corner of her mouth twitched up into a smirk as she offered to watch over her. Bashira had seen too much in her life to be afraid of a small pack of hyenas.
“I am Bashira, and do not worry. We are more than safe,” she stated smoothly and calmly, “I am by the water because I do not feel up to moving any sort of distance to get to it.” Her legs were sore and she was so tired.
However, if need be, she knew that she could take out all of the hyenas that were attempting to close in on them.

Nzambi forces herself to calm down because she knows that she is sending out waves of anxiety and hyenas would be feeding off it so she flexes her muscles as she calms down more, finally being able to relax near the laying cheetah. She curses herself because she is normally so calm and in control of herself but when she is exhausted and feeling harried, that's when she couldn't keep a tight rein on her emotions and anxiety levels.
She smiles faintly at the female that calls herself Bashira, feeling little stupid for being so anxious over things when Bashira makes perfect sense. And when she is not so exhausted or harried, she probably could take on the small pack of hyenas but she never tried before. Her eyes flicks toward Bashira as she stretches her hind legs out, starting to feel little bit secure in herself.
Nzambi had to stop herself from explaining herself to Bashira because it will just cause her to lose more of her dignity as she presses her tongue against her teeth. "Guess I am little too twitchy tonight. " She softly says while her tail flicks back and forth. "Do you belong to any prides?" She inquires the female, trying to make a small pleasantries.

Bashira was constantly paying attention to the hyena’s movements, it would suck to be caught off-guard in the state that she was already in. Despite everything that had happened up until now, she still needed to leave this place soon and didn’t have much time to recover all of her lost energy.
It would be nice to stay here, but she had other obligations. She watched silently as the other calmed a bit, and her fear resided. “You are surrounded by those who would cause you harm, it’s only natural to be afraid,” she began to speak lightly, “and, no, I do not belong anywhere really, hardly a pride.”
Never in her life had she belonged any one place, her mother had moved them every few days, never lingering in any place. “Where are you from?” she asked, realizing that she wasn’t about to get to sleep. She might as well get to know a little about this female.

Nzambi slowly starts to relax as she settles down on her stomach, looking around and allowing herself to take in the beauty of the night environment but when the female spoke again, she almost reluctantly looked back at other cheetah with a slight smile on her face. "That pack deems me as their dinner for some reason." She smiles wryly as she glances at the pack of hyenas lurking around but she feels little bit more confident because now she gets to relax little bit and she have an extra set of eyes if other cheetah wants to have a 'buddy system' for the night.
"To be honest..." Nzambi shoots the female a fleeting smile as she shrugs little bit. " I have no clue where I came from. I have spent my life traveling and moving from one place to other." She softly says as she tilts her head to side, watching one bold hyena getting closer. The fur on back of her neck to tip of her tail rises up as she bristles and she bares her fangs at the hyena in warning. The hyena laughs as it scampered off toward its pack with a evil grin on its face which caused the cheetah to feel little uneasy. "Do you have any family?" She inquires to keep the conversation going so she won't feel tempted to go after the hyena pack to send the message across to them that she's tired of being hunted. (Sorry for taking too long! Life was kicking me in the butt D8 )

Caitlyn Hellstorm Tag! I totally understand! Life tends to suck at times unexpectedly. End in next post?
She laughed humorlessly as the other's tale sounded very much like her own. Absently, she wondered how many others were like them, left stranded to the world. Momentarily lost in her thoughts, Bashira quickly snapped out of them to growl loudly at the offending hyena. How dare he.
Suffling a bit, she refocused on watching the surrounding pack as she'd kill herself if she carelessly allowed something to happen to the two of them. At Nzambi's inquiry however, Bashira's resolve began to slip once more. She was immediately taken to thoughts of a mother that she barely remembered.
"No,....well, maybe. I haven't seen my mother in a.....a very long time. I really don't know whether or not she's still alive," she spoke slowly. There was a noticalby pause before she continued, "Well, other than her, there is no one. So, I......it's just me."

Boudaihobbit Sure. And I feel bad that it took me months to reply to this @.@ But college is out for summer so huzzah for me! If you want to rp again, I definitely will be able to reply more faster
Nzambi watches the hynea retreat into the bushes as she licks her muzzle, sorely tempted to just rough some of them up to send them a clear message that she's tired of them harassing her but she knows that she is exhausted and won't do very well if she doesn't eat, quench her thirst and rest up. She turns her head toward the female, sensing that her resolve began to drop little bit and she frowns slightly, not sure what to do.
"Oh..." Nzambi blinks as she sighs little bit. "Looks like we have another thing in common.." Her voice is quiet as she looks little sad because her mother disappeared the second she became adolescent so she barely could remember her mother but she does remember the warmth and joy when she was with her mother. "I am in a pride.. and I am sure that my king will be willing to take you in." She gently says as she looks at Bashira with a light smile.
"I can take you there if you would like. You won't have to be alone anymore." Nzambi says as she suddenly lunges forward, swiping at the hyena's nose, scoring a hit as the hyena barked and snarled before retreating into the bushes once again.
