The Hunters
The prey was near. I gazed toward the moon and howled to rally the brethren. Grey was first to arrive, then Fang, Claw, Moon, Stalker, Night, and Prowl. ?Lupine!? stalker called. ?Have you found them?? ?Yes, they haven?t gotten past the creek yet,? I replied. ?Why chase them if you weren?t able to keep them in the pack?? sneered Prowl. ?Stay your tongue, lest you lose it,? I snarled. ?Moon, Stalker, and Night, you will take the front,? I said. ?Fang and Claw,? ?Yes?? the twins replied in unison. ?You shall hide in the cave.? ?Prowl, you?re with me.? ?What?! Why?!? ?To keep my eyes on you,? I growled dismissively. ?Gray, you will be the forward scout.? I said. ?Now, the hunt is on.?
An hour later we were ready. ?I don?t need you? snarled Prowl. ?Shut up.? I replied. Then we saw the prey. The moon was the only light; the wind wailed softly, it was quiet. My senses heightened as I slowly became a predator. Then I heard the howl. For a moment the world seemed to come to a halt as I tried to comprehend how we had been compromised. Then I looked up and saw Prowl, in plain site, trying to challenge them alone. ?YOU ARROGANT, REBELLIOUS FOOL!? I thought. Then he pounced, but Wraith, the leader, was fast. No sooner had Prowl landed than he was devoured. Instinct took over. We all charged like feral beasts. I pounced on one and made quick work of him. Then I locked eyes with Wraith. We lunged at each other. I landed on him and ended it with my fangs. ?An eye for an eye.? The ones that weren?t claimed fled when they saw their dead leader. I howled triumphantly. As the crimson nectar across my pelt glistened in the moon light, the message was clear. This forest is ours.
Please tell me if you like it, if you think i should make a sequel, or any suggestions.
