"Besides, it's not hard being brave" Said Darkness.

"yeah" sahara said.

Darkness helped Hunter down off Sahara. "The first thing you're going to learn is how to pounce"

"you bend down but you have to stay low in order to surprsie your target" sahara said diminstrating.

"Here, watch me" Darkness croutched low to the ground, and snuck up on an Impala. He pounced and caught it, then let it go. "Now you try" Hunter Croutched and crawled towards a merecat. He pounced, but the merecat ran away. Hunter landed face first in the dirt.

"you ok" she asked.

Hunter stood up. "I failed. I'm no good at being brave"

"try again and be a little quieter" sahara siad nuzzleing him.

Hunter croutched and crawled towards a rabbit. He waited, then pounced. He landed and caught the rabbit. "I did it! I did it!" Darkness patted him on the head. "Great job, buddy!"

"yes well done" Sahara said with a smile.

Hunter let the rabbit go. "So what's next?" "Next, you have to learn to stand up for yourself" Said Darkness.

"yeah. it is the key to being brave. when someone trys beinbg mean yu dont back down. Darkness how about you show him" she said.

"Ok. Now Hunter, I'm going to pretend to be a bully, and you stand up for yourself" Darkness got into character. "Hey you little dweeb" Hunter began shivering. "Please don't hurt me"

"hunter just stand up. dont hesitate and down be scared" sahara siad.

Darkness went back into character. "Aww, is the little baby scared?" Hunter stood up. "I'm no baby!" He then smacked Darkness across the nose.

"good hunter. but you can do better" she siad.

"Better how?"

"just pawing ther enose will only make them mad. you have to be read to defend against them" she said.

Hunter looked at Darkness. He roared as best he could, then jumped on his head and began biteing his ears.

"very good" sahara siad.

"Yes, good. Now get him off me" Darkness said.

Sahara laughed and picked up hunter and sat him down.

"Rawr! I'm tough!" Hunter said. "And a hard biter" Darkness rubbed his ears.

"see hunter. its easy standing up for yourself. but not all animals are softies like darkness" she said.

"Hey" Darkness gave Sahara a freindly shove.
