The Interrupted Hunting Trip
It was about midnight. The grass was wet on their paws after the evening rain. Everyone waited in their positions. The cool breeze tickled the fur of the hunting party. Seven animals were waiting for the leader, a white panther, to give the signal. The white panther waited to check if the elk suspected the ambush. When she was positive they didn't, she nodded to her 2nd in command, a purple mountain lion, to begin the hunt. A blue raccoon, a cream rabbit, and a pink cat sunk your teeth into the elks' tails, and then quickly ran to the bushes as they began to stampede. The elks ran towards a tan wolf and the mountain lion. The two animals attacked the prey, but missed their attempts to jump on the elks' back. The elks ran to the panther, who leaped at the perfect moment and bite into the biggest buck's throat. The buck fell and it was all over.
"Great catch Rouge!" the mountain lion exclaimed.
"Lucky I got a bird's eye view," a purple phoenix stated.
"I'm sorry you didn't do any work Wave. I really did give them a chance to escape," the panther apologized.
"That's okay. You know how lazy I am."
The panther, mountain lion, and wolf crowded around the elk. Everyone stared as the panther took the first bite. If the buck tasted of sickness, they all had to hunt the elk again. The panther chewed slowly, swallowed, and took another bite. The six animals relaxed. The wolf and mountain lion advanced to get their share of the elk, while the other four animals walked off to forage for fruits and fish. A rustle in the woods caught the panther's attention.
"Everyone defense formation," she commanded.
The panther, mountain lion, wolf, and raccoon made a protective circle around the phoenix, cat, rabbit, and their prey. A human-like creature jumped from the woods towards the mountain lion. The panther leaped in the way. She landed on her back with a vampire held on her legs.
