The Attack on Mkali/Story

Mkali had been running through Back Lands for a while, and found nothing. Her only luck were a few paw prints, but where they led, she didn’t follow.
Mkali began to lose hope. “I never should’ve ran away,” she said to herself.
That’s when the noise came. It was a low growl. Though it must’ve been her imagination, for it had stopped.
Mkali sighed and moved on, she had nothing. No food, no water.
That night she fell asleep under a tree.
In the morning, she heard someone say, "this isn't your territory, cub." Mkali didn't reply, and before she could, a leopard jumped out of the trees. "Who are you?" Mkali asked. "I'm Makucha," the leopard replied. "And it seems as if you...need to leave."
Mkali had heard the story of Makucha. He had left the Back Lands in search of rare animals, but was stopped by Kion’s Lion Guard.
Makucha was clearly impatient, and he attacked Mkali.
It was just a leopard scratch, but something was off. "I'm leaving, have some patience," Mkali said, as she left.
"Something isn't right about this, leopards don't make you feel like this..." Mkali muttered as she limped off.
