Zye finally woke to see her Parents talking by the flap. She got up and hugged her mother's leg."Morning Mama"She smiled looking up. Kima looked down worried and bent down."Zye where have you been all night?" She asked worried. Zye looked down and shook her head."I'm not allowed to tell." Zye said feeling bad. "Why?" Tyze asked worried."Because Leier may get mad." Zye says and looks down. "Who is Leier?" Tyze asked."He's my friend outside of the camp papa." Zye said hoping her father wouldn't ask anything else.

Tyze heard it was a friend and he smiled. "So you stayed with Leier all night?" He asked."Yes Papa he wanted me to stay with him so I don't go in the rain." Zye said as she pointed to the sky. Kima and Tyze smiled at each other than back at their child."That's alright as long as you were with a friend." Kima smiled and hugged Zye. Zye was happy her parents understood but still had a feeling it wasn't the best idea to tell them the whole truth about Leier.

Leier returned to see the cubs playing outside the den. He stretched his paws than layed and rested his eyes. He thought of Zye hugging him making him happy.He felt something pressed against his nose. He rasied his head to see the young cub he showed Zye. He saw the cub move back it's tiny paw after touching Leier's nose. Leier yawned as the cub came around and climbed the zion's back and pulled at his ear. Leier played with the small cub and hoped Zye be able to come back to play with the small creature.

As the Zion cub played he heard something and lift his ears. Leier hears it too and lisens. He see Syneas coming throwds the cubs. Leier rose as the cub fell and saw Leier running towards them. Leier roared and swings his paw at the synea closest to the cubs. The synea fell making the other two back up. Leier roared standing infront of the cubs. The Syneas ran up attacking Leier as he fought to keep them from the cubs. The zioness heard the roars and ran out as Patch and Whiskers helped get the cubs inside. The zioness' came and helped attack all the Syneas. When they saw the huge beasts they knew they were out matched so they retreated.Leier whimphered lifting his paw from a synea bitting too hard. He limped to the cave than layed licking his paw. The three zioness layed with him to be sure he was alright especially Wit who care for him the most. She licked his cheek making Leier rasie his head and look. She and the other three layed beside him just outside of the cave as Patch and Whisker waited in the den with the cubs. The two were impressed on how well their father fought those three Syneas on his own.

Zye and her younger cousin Dorza played patty cake as there mothers were cooking. Zye loved to play with her cousin even if she was only four."Dorza wanna play hide and go seek?" Zye asked as she stood. Dorza nodded and rose as she followed her older cousin to the bushes filled with berries just outside of the Zion's den. Ok you go first and ill count. Zye said hoping she be able to remember how to count to ten. "Ok" Dorza smiles. Zye covers her eyes and starts to count. Dorza hurrys throw the bush hiding in the bush her white boots sticking out as she sees her cousin count. Zye began her search as Dorza queitly giggles.

Patch and Whisker start to go out to find a snack while the zioness take care of Leier.They go to the bush to see boots in the bushes. They smell Zye's scent and they thought it was there little friend. Patch snuck up slowly to suprise their friend as he used his paw to grab a boot and slid her out.

Dorza was pulled out and turned to see the two zions above her. She screamed making Patch and Whisker back up and growled angry as they want to get rid of the imposter
