Once the kittens started walking they started making trouble. Their mom had to tell them what can happen if they leave the den she made. They always ended up leaving the den, but they never went far. Once the cubs heard their moms feet patter on the ground they all ran to the den. Though one day they started needing training the first day of hunting for them was cool and they were all energetic. Gray spotted a elk and signaled his two brothers to surround it mom made the call and all three charged the elk at once. It had manged to slip past all three and gray started chasing it. Soon gray had out run the elk he chirped with excitement they went home after their first successful hunt and ate. after their first hunt they started doing it more frequently and became better and separated from each other like their own pack. When mating season came by mom had let them all go and wonder around. This was their first time being free with out watchful eye of the mom. Another cheetah had come up to the three and hissed to challenge them. lieon of course said yes, but got messed up pretty bad so gray and spikes steeped in to help him they hissed at him giving him a scare. though he didn't back down he charged spikes,but gray came in and tackled him and pined his neck to the ground. Spikes said "you still up for the challenge?" gray released his neck and the male ran as fast as he could. Of course this drew attention to other males and females the females watched as the brothers took on all of them even a three v two. After fighting their last fight gray asked " anyone else want to challenge?" nobody had steeped up to the plate. they left to go hunt, but gray had a feeling he was being followed they turned around and all the females were walking behind them. (the the rest in part two good bye)
