Prologue
"Bang!" A large bang shook the rainforest floor.

"Run!" I roared.

"Not another of those scraggy creatures. I don't want my cubs to be endangered." I thought.

I picked Tora up in my scruff.

She wriggled but then stopped.

I looked at Willow.

She was already grabbing Luna by the scruff.

I ran as fast as I could, making sure Willow wasn't far behind.

I ran through the forest like a blazing fire on a windy day.

"Bang!"

Another one.

Willow seemed to move her paws faster.

We were now in time.

We ran faster and faster as the noises got louder and louder.

I must protect my cubs.

I must protect Willow.

We see a huge tree.

It would be the perfect place to hide.

Willow climbs up first.

It was easy to see her orange and black pelt climb up the tree.

She still had Luna by the scruff.

Once Willow was up, I wasn't far behind.

I climb up the tree.

My claws dig into the rough bark.

"Bang!"

The noise is very close now.

I scramble up the tree with all my might.

I can't see a thing once I sit on the branch.

The tree's palm leaves cover my face.

I can only here the sound of my own and Willow's sharp breaths.

Tora is wriggling around.

Please hold still Tora.

We wait there for what seems like days.

The loud noises stopped.

It is safe.

I climb down from the tree.

Willow was not far behind.

I place Tora down gently.

Willow places Luna next to her.

Their mews, scared and sad.

"It will be alright little ones. We are safe now." whispered Willow.

I am Jungle.

Leader of the tigers.

The tigers used to be the hunters of the rainforest.

Now we are the hunted.

Chapter One
"Gotcha." yelled Tora.

"No fair. You are much bigger than me!" argued Luna.

"Calm down little ones. Why don't you call it a tie." offered Willow, gazing down at our cubs.

"Great idea!" I say and I lick my kits on the head.

"Father!" whine Tora and Luna in unison.

"If you don't want your father to clean you then I will." laughs Willow as she walked up to our cubs.

"Mother!" they whine again.

I smile at my mate.

Her pelt was always so shiny.

It has never changed.

We fell in love when we were cubs.

We always used to hang around each other.

Our love was undeniable.

I always wanted to have cubs.

I am glad I had them with Willow.

I look at my cubs.

Their striped pelt was like their mother's.

Tora looks a lot like me.

She was a bit bigger and had a stronger build then her sister.

But Luna looked a lot like her mother.

She had the same green eyes as her.

I love my family.

I always will.

No matter what happens.
