Welcome to Cherryton High Academy! A prestigious school in a world of anthropomorphic animals. Everything may seem perfect, but where there are Herbivores and Carnivores, there's ought to be issues at hand.

Four female students , a Gazelle, a Donkey, a Parrot, and an alpaca named Els look at a newspaper of the devouring that took place in school just that morning.

Donkey: Devoured?

Gazelle: Did you hear? It was Tem from Drama Club?

Els: I know...

Parrot: But Els, he was in your club

Els: We just rehearsed yesterday...

Donkey: I bet a carnivore student was responsible

The girls glance to inspect the male fox and African dog out of suspicion.

Els: Well we cant be sure it was a student

Donkey: But it was pretty obvious it was a carnivore!

Gazelle: Sorry to say but isn't it ironic? A drama student was murdered and eaten?

Parrot: Drama club was one of the only places where herbivores and carnivores got along

Donkey: You have to be really careful Els, there is a grey wolf in that club of yours, is t that right?

Parrot: *Sigh* well this is ruining my appetite

Gazelle: Same here...

All but Els walks away, but whilst Els is left behind sulking in Tem's loss, a grey clawed hand slides away from the wall.

It was later in the after noon and everyone in the drama club was getting ready in there locker rooms to meet up.

Kai the mongoose, and Tao the Black panther are talking while checking themselves in the mirror, with a tall grey wolf standing off to the side getting ready.

Kai: This sucks

Tao: Tell me about it. The performance is in two weeks right? We need to find a replacement for Tem

Kai: Yeah

Tao: I mean, how do we do that? One of our classmates just died!

The boys look to the side as the grey wolf leaves the locker room.

All the drama club members are chatting in separate groups quietly.

Els and a few other girls are talking with each other.

Giraffe: I still can't believe that it's true!

Els looks down in sadness at the thought.

Hippo: What's Louis doing?

Lemur: He's at a leader meeting.

The female Lemur looks to Els.

Lemur: Are you okay Els?

Els: Y-Yeah

The girls look up at the stands to see Legoshi, the grey wolf working up at the lights looking down eerily at the female herbivores, most directly at Els.

The doors open and Sanu, the pelican teacher of the drama club walks in.

Sanu: Is everyone here? Gather 'round please! Im sure you all know by now, something terrible happened here at school this morning. One of the actors Tem-Huh?

Sanu looks and sees that all the herbivore and carnivore students have separated themselves on two sides and the room. Ellen the zebra speaks up.

Ellen: But sir! You know that Tem was closely involved with the carnivores in this club.

Sanu: S-So

Bill the tiger speaks up annoyance

Bill: Are you accusing us of something?

Ellen: Maybe someone got jealous since he was just cast in a good role!

Bill: You know what you've got a lot of nerve! That's exactly why I can't stand herbivores!

Ellen: Oh wanna FIGHT!?

As the argument continues a tiny female squirrel speaks behind the crowd of herbivores oblivious to what was really happening.

Squirrel: Hey? Can someone help me crack these wall nuts? Where's Legoshi?

Flamingo: Hey it's not Legoshi's job to be a nut cracker you know

The giraffe notices that Legoshi disappeared from where he was at the light stands.

Giraffe: But it's true, Legoshi's not here. Wonder what could've happened?

Els suddenly feels her instinctual fear when Legoshi was staring at her.

Els: I'm scared. It's like those eyes were looking at prey

-

At night outside the dorms, Els and her lemur friend were were walking towards the dorms to turn in for the night.

Els: I swear, that wolf was telling me that I'm next

Lemur: Oh come on, Legoshi's a bit strange that's all it is

The Lemur takes Els's hand

Lemur: If you need anything, come down to my room anytime! Lemurs are always cheerful and fun to be around! Hehe

Els: Thank you

Lemur: Goodnight

Els: Yeah goodnight

The Lemur walks away to go to her dorm building while Els starts to walk to hers, but before she does she hears bushes rustling behind her. She looks behind her reluctantly to see a huge wolf silhouetted behind the sunset coming out from behind a tree slowly walking toward her.

He starts to get closer

Els: Go away!

She finds herself stuck at the stairs as the wolf draws closer

Els: You pretend to be my friend just so you could eat me when your hungry?

Els: You pretend to be my friend just so you could eat me when your hungry?

Els brandished a pair of scissors at her defense.

Els: Don't underestimate me! I'll use this! Tem and I are tougher than you think!

Legoshi reaches out and grabs Els's scissors as she yells out.
