Fireblossom

You snapped your eyes open wide to a small bark, which you just turned your head as you glanced over your shoulder to see the lionesses just minding their business. Weird.
That is when you saw a cub peeking out from behind you, and you sat up slowly. Sniffing in the faint scent of blood that you just realised lurked in the air, you guessed that the cub recently ate some chunks of flesh.
Looking down at the cub, you were wondering what she was doing until she snarled softly a little, making you blink as you slowly moved just few feett backward. What did you do to anger her?
" What are you looking at? " She said, demanding a reason, but you were sleepy and not even in the mood to deal with this, so you sat down again, your gaze scrolling around the lionesses hoping to find the mother.
You crossed your eyes when a paw with small claws put onto your nose, which you tensed in reflex but calmed, snorting in annoyance back at the cub. " I asked, what are you looking at? "

After a minute of silence, and might have involved eye rolling during that, she sniffed and then backed away, before sitting, glaring at you.
You realised that she held the anger and hatred in her eyes, despite being a cub, and you finally noticed some of the bruises around her body.
You scoffed lightly, before asking. " Seems like you have it rough. " With her figure tensing by your voice, you knew it that she indeed did have a rough life.

" We have all these days, do not worry. " You continued in a light voice, closing your eyes, being tempted to sleep. " You just have to deal with it, no matter how hard it is. "
