Sunset.
I always loved the spot of the earth on pinky red colour, today's specially sweet for me. I've got a wonderful gastronomically coloured landscape. Down the hill, protected by dogs and embers lives the hairless, humans... damned tasty humans; dressed with the skins of half of my pack.. Soto´s by my side watching the little village with his cool, gentle sarcasm.. Well, well What do you know? One tasty baby is right in front of our eyes...
"Will you look at the beautiful baby, Diego? Isn't it nice that he'll be joining us for breakfast?" Said Soto watching the parents play with their little cub
"It wouldn't be breakfast without him." Said I watching the scene, I said with no joy That was outta place I'm tellin´ ya
"Especially after his daddy killed half our pack and wears our skin to keep warm. An eye for an eye, don't you think?" That was deadly true... many of my best friends died cause of that damned creature
"We'll teach that human what happens when he messes with sabers" It was decided, my honour and desire of revenge filled my heart, mind and soul
"Alert the troops. We attack at dawn. And Diego? Bring me the baby, alive. If I'm going to enjoy my revenge, I want it to be fresh." Soto glanced like a captain just before winning the battle. So.. I'm in charge of a damned and harmless cub.. We're not going to hunt mammoths. Why worry so much about this?
There was an storm that night, I slept easy thinking in how many sabers I was going to revenge with that hunt but.. A baby? Never thought Soto was going that far... Anyway, easy Diego, it´s a piece of cake.
Dawn, red silent dawn.
Everyone's sleeping and we are all set for the attack. I bent a little and started walking slowly, perfect timing until the dogs awoke because of some stupid rocks... Well, better not to think for too long Diego; this is your show and now what we need is our guest star: the baby.
There he is... Sleeping peacefully... Come little breakfast, come with Unca Diego
Damned! The mother was beside the cub, hit me and ran. No time for gentlenessor hide and seek, I'm the one who puts the rules, sister, and ready or not... Here I come!
I followed her to the river, jump here, run there, right, left... I grabbed with my paw the little bones necklace and watched her ready to charge. She's scared, she's mine and has no way to run away from me. She looked at her cub and smiled
What the hell?
She jumps the waterfall down... She's crazy, she will never make it! But I couldn't left my comrades behind so I ran to the village.
"That is Diego. Go back" Said Soto and followed me to the waterfall for a while "Where's the baby?"
"I lost it in the waterfall" I whispered seeing the humans were coming
"You lost it?" We ran for a little "I want that baby, Diego"
I give you my word that I will bring it or I´ll be the feast... To Halfpeack then. I went down the river for a while on my own
That baby can't be far. Uh?
Well, well well
First chapter, first try.
See ya on the next one cause I'm all blown up. Goodnight!
