Tigers of the wild

"I thought I was protecting you," Neva repeated. "I thought it was for the better. But I was wrong."

Neva looked away

A tear rolled down Neva's face

Neva wiped away her tears with her paw

"I'm sorry," Neva repeated

Nero looked at poppy. "She really is sorry." He said softly. "She only did it because she love you."

Nero licked her ear. "Don't ignore me."

Nero looked at her. He stopped licking and backed away and sat down.

He looked at her but diden't reply.

Nero stood up and walked over. He picked her up in his mouth. He placed her down again.

"Trying to make you stand."

"Becuase i dont like seeing you sad." He said.

Neva couldn't believe this. what had she done to her kit? Guilt washed over her like a storm.

He looked at poppy. He was about to say something but he heard some of the tigers that helped him when he met Neva. He diden't want them to hurt her or poppy. He walked out of the den and ran the direction he heard them.

Neva followed quickly. Her heart warmed when hearing Poppy say "Mommy" again. She stood beside Poppy in the bushes, watching

Nero looked at the other tigers. "Is something wrong?" He said soflty.
"Nero!" One panted. He was covored in blood. "There's some rouge tigers down by the river. There attacking our tigers!"
Nero's eyes widened. "O-Okay...I'll come. Hold on." He walked to the bush and whispered to Neva and poppy. "I'll be back. Stay Here."

"It's okay, Poppy," Neva said. "These tigers think we're a threat, they'll hurt us if they get the chance. Nero's straightening things out and trying to tell them to leave us alone."

Nero looked at poppy. "I wont break my promise." He said. "I never do." He looked at Neva. "Take care of her." He said softly and began to follow the other tigers.

Nero walked down to the river. His eyes widened as he saw all the fighting tiger....All the blood being lost. He had to fight. He jumped on a tiger. He began to fight it.

neva licked Poppy gently.
"It's okay, Poppy, Nero is just helping some other tigers. He's strong, and kind, whatever happens will happen for the best. He'll be okay," she insisted

"He won't die," she repeated. "Poppy, he'll be fine."

They fought and fought. Soon, the rouge tigers all ran off. Nero was covored in blood. He panted and fell on the ground. He looked at all the dead tigers. He closed his eyes. He couldn't move yet. He had to rest before hed go back to Neva and Poppy.

"You can't, Poppy," she said. "He said you have to stay safe. He and other tigers are fighting right now, you could easily be killed. he would hate that, and so would I, do you really want to hurt him?

Neva ran to Nero.
"Are you all right?" she gasped
