from the burrow before he led the group out to forage. As they traveled, Korak overheard
the two sisters, Shale and Marina, growl at each out for minutes until Miller, the oldest
meerkat in the group, told them to knock it off. By afternoon, the group reach the end of
their territory. Karok was determined to get his group well fed, but there were some
problems. One, his mob was very small and if caught by another group they wouldn't be able
to survive. Two, who knows how many predators were waiting for prey to appear. Three, Korak
didn't know how far they had to go for food, making this raid very risky. Ill have to risk it, if i
don't we'll starve to death, Korak thought. He led them past the border
of the territory, past the tall grass, and into enemy territory.
Korak's descision to trespass into the rival group's territory gave his group a chance to
both be killed or get food, food was gotten. The Albiled stayed for only an hour knowing
the threat, but they stayed far too long. Clint spotted the rival group first and warned
Korak. The Oreliam are here!, Clint barked. Korak looked up a well as the whole group. On
top of the dune he spotted the twenty strong, Oreliam group. Both groups simply stared at
each other, Korak praying that the Oreliam would think of them to small to be a threat.
He was wrong.
The Oreliam came down the dune at an incredible speed, the Abliled panciked and in result
scattered. Every member went its own direction, even Korak. As he ran, he heard nothing,
but the Oreliam's angry calls, then he heard a call from one of his mob. It was Yelena.
Yelena was standing of her hind legs calling out to the group, Come! follow me you idiots!
were not going to survive if we scatter! come!, the whole group came to her and ran at her
lead, barely escaping the Oreliam's attack.
When the reached at least a quarter of a mile into their territory, they stopped. Korak
stood on a stump to see if the Oreliam had followed them into their territory, they hadn't.
Relieved, he climbed down and sat. We barely made it out of that, Korak thought, and i didn't do anything about it except run away, Yelena..., He turned to see Yelena sitting under a
bush, panting heavily, She took charge of the situtation and leds us to safety. He studied
the female. He never really met her well and rarely talked to her, but now he noticed something
different. She was white. Her fur stood out brightly, and white, with some brownish spots.
Maybe she can be the dominant this group needs and she is very beautiful. Korak walk over to
Yelena, but he wasn't the only one who wanted to congradulate her. Miller, Clint, Marina
also went and began crowding her with praises, Korak decided to wait to talk her.
Yelena was a little overwhelmed by small embrassesment, (not the type that you would feel
if you wet your pants in front of people, but the type a shy person feels about getting
praises, too much of them.) she sat in between Miller, Clint , her siter Marina, and now
Dallas thankuing them for their kindness. For someone who was ignored since she entered the
group she was very unused to this attention, but she like it. Later that day Yelena found
out that even if she saved them from being killed, her sisters haven't stopped trying to
fight each other or her. So far Marina has stolen her food, Shale has beaten her, and Bela
has tried to evict her, but failed. Yelena wasn't going to take it any longer and striked
back. She wasn't aware that Korak was watching her every move.
