Sasha sank low into the grass. Reena lay grooming her flame-colored fur, unaware of the danger. With a mighty leap, Sasha landed squarely on Reena's tail. Reena gave a yelp of shock, and turned around to face her sister, amber eyes glaring. A play-growl rumbled in her throat, and with a yowl of excitement she sprang on Sasha, and the two cubs rolled over in a flurry of claws and teeth. Reena gently gripped Sasha's red-brown scruff in her sharp white teeth, and attempted to pull the slightly larger cub over. Sasha shook her off and lunged , and they bundled over in a heap of red-brown and orange, striped black and dark brown. Their mother watched her cubs play with bright eyes. They were too thin, though, she thought. She'd better go hunting tonight. As if to confirm her thoughts, Reena suddenly sat up and gave a wail. "Mother, I'm hungry," she whined. Her mother sighed. "I'll catch something soon," she told her daughter tiredly. "I hope," she added under her breath, to quiet for the cubs to here. Prey had been rather short lately. They'd be moving on soon. But, even if hunting had become more difficult in the past week, they were still safe. At least, for now.
