Chapter 3
Humans Attack!
The next day it was time for the leadership ceremony, in which Kino would find out she was going to lead the pack someday. Diego was positioned in front of Kino and announced to her, "My daughter, for a while now we've been knowingly watch your leadership skills grow day by day, now is the time to tell you, you…." But Diego was interrupted by a roar from the look out. Hunters! Nilo gasped and grabbed her daughter by the scruff of her neck, heading for safety. Four or five hunters ran over the top of the glacier with their dogs and spears. Diego looked around to see if Nilo and Kino had made it to safety. They were almost to the cave but a hunter blocked their path, a spear raised above his head, about to strike at the two. Diego roared furiously and pounced on the hunter, giving his family a chance to run. Diego fought for a while, then he was pushed aside. His family gasped as they rushed to his side. Soto and the other males tried to defend their pack, but there were too many hunters.
"Papa, get up! Papa", Kino said, trying to lift Diego off the ground. Nilo pushed her daughter away though.
"Kino, quick, run to the cave", her mother exclaimed. Kino started running but a hunter grabbed her by the scruff of the cub's neck. He laughed jubilantly as nilo tried to reach her baby. Diego got up and saw the hunter taunting his wife and daughter. He roared angrily but the hunter had struck a hard blow with his spear to them both. Diego stopped abruptly and glanced at the two sabers on the ground. The hunters saw their chance and ran with their dogs trailing behind.
The next chapter is kinda sad, so heads up if you cry easily. No offense to people who do. Reviews are once again welcome!
