Aces point of view 

I was wondering about the forest beyond the savanna border. I had recently been exiled for trying to kill the king. I hadn't thought while doing it I was enraged. I heard a small shallow whimper followed by a faint rustling in the bushes. I leaned closer to try and smell what was there. The smell was sharp like a burnt rubber tire. A flash of brown and black fur made me leap back hissing. As I looked back over I saw two small puppies rolling on the dirty ground they looked up at me as I walked tworads them than the larger of the two started trying to act all big and bad.

"Who are you and what are you doing here don't you lions belong  in the Savanah or are you lost I know where you belong." He asked me he was now sitting up straight and I could see that he and the other pup where different breeds.

"No, I know where I am and my name is Ace who are you two and where is your mother," as I finished my question they bowed their heads low to the ground as I looked closer I could see little tears dripping down there face.

"Our mothers were both killed in an accident... " He broke off as a new wave of tears rolled down his face. I walked over and pulled them closer to me with my large paw. 

"We are not brothers and sisters we are best friends. I am Gibson and she is Missy." He told me. I knew that they would not live very long without a mother so I decided to see if they would accept me as their new mother.

"If you would like I could take you in. I have a cave not far from here that we can live in." I told them for the first time Missy spoke. Her voice was not as sweet as I had thought she had more of a sharp, rough voice.

"Would you really do that for us your a lion and we, we are dogs." She said

"Oh yes im a lion and my pride don't really like dogs but I don't live with them anymore and you two are going to starve to death if someone doesn't take care of you." 

" Okay, you can take care of us until we're old enough to live on our own." I bent down to pick up Gibson and carry him over but he growled and bared his teeth. I snorted with amusement and picked up Missy instead. I had to walk a little slower for Gibson to keep up as we neared the mouth of the cave I put down Missy and beckoned them inside they must not have cared that they were going to enter a lion's den. Missy and Gibson both lied down on the large deer hide I had lying out in the middle of it.

"So why were you kicked out of the pride," Gibson asked I could see both mischief and curiosity in his eyes. I ran over then lyed down next to them ready to tell them why. 

"Well, I tried to kill the current king because he said that I was a disgrace to the pride, now tell me your stories, "I told them.

"But im hungry can you get us some food," Gibson complained. I could tell that he was gonna be a challenge but Missy was gonna be easy. I stalked out of the den in search of food. Gibson and Missy were following me I soon smelled a deer not sure if it was large or not. We followed the scent of it to where a large buck was lying in the grass. I looked over my shoulder at Gibson and Missy was standing really still.

"Stay low to the ground and don't move, "I told them very seriously then turned around and started to crawl near it. When I got to a bush that was less than three feet away from him I bunched my shoulders together and threw my body forward. I grabbed the buck's antlers in my teeth and started dragging him tworads the undergrowth. But he wasn't going to die without a fight. He threw his head back and I went with it instead of holding on I grabbed his back in my front claws and kicked at his exposed stomach before kicking his back leg. He let out a loud bellow before crashing to the ground. I leaped backward as he fell down then grabbed his muzzle in my teeth and his neck in my front paws and jerked real hard snapping his neck. I looked back at where the pups were still standing there. I beckoned'em over to the kill.

"Gibson grabs his back legs and lift them off the ground. If you can and missy you grab his antlers and lift them off the ground ill drag his head. We are going to take it back to the den." I told them they took their places and I took mine and off we went into the woods that led back to the den. I had saved their life and now we are family.
