Planet of the Apes:Revolution

In An Instant...

Geleel traversed through the trees, swinging from branch to branch as he was in the process of gathering a few fruits his mother had requested earlier in the morning.

He was a tad annoyed when he had to grab a papaya that was straggling at the end of a tree branch.

Fortunately, due to the fact that his genealogy had taken such a drastic change, his ability to climb like any chimpanzee combined with the sheer length of his limbs, it was fairly easy to grab the papaya without falling to his death.

Geleel smiled to himself as he now decided it was time to head back to the troop's line, the entire troop was looking for a new home, Alpha hadn't told Geleel why yet though.

The young boy didn't take it seriously, he knew his father had no obligation to tell him everything.

Geleel made sure to tuck the fruits in the sack that was attached to his waist firmly before he began on his way back to his family.

He couldn't help but smile and laugh jovially as he swung through the trees, life was immaculate to say the least, he had gained the troop's respect and acceptance due to his bravery at such a young age, Alpha had acknowledged him as his son...and he would be getting a younger sibling soon, what more could someone ask for?

*Bang! Bang!* The loud bangs reverated through the air as Geleel's smile immediately morphed into a shaken expression, he was so shocked by the shrill noises that he almost missed a branch and fell to the jungle floor.

'What was that?' He mentally questioned as he now perched on top of a branch and ominously eyed the direction the strange sounds came from...that was gorilla territory...

Geleel only knew about two groups of apes other than Chimpanzees, they all had their own territories in this jungle.

The Bonobos were much smaller and a bit more nimble than the Chimpanzees but they were surprisingly peaceful and not really a threat to the family.

Now the gorillas, which were the subject at hand here, weren't particularly aggressive, but they were large and extremely powerful, if they were to wage war against the family...the outcome would be very bloody.

Geleel would never venture into another group of apes' territory, mostly due to the warnings the troop had given him against doing so, but his curiousity was getting the better of him at the moment, he simply HAD to know what those strange noises were.

The boy had already made up his mind as he began traversing through the trees and towards the direction the sounds came from, as long as he kept himself hidden it would be fine.

Geleel had finally come upon the scene that he thought the sounds had came from.

The entire scene before him looked like nothing but carnage...there was blood everywhere, two gorilla corpses laid slain on the ground, both female from what he could tell.

Geleel didn't know what to make of this scene, what could possibly be so powerful as to take down two gorillas with so much ease?

Despite his better judgement, Geleel lacked a high fear to new things, so naturally he jumped down to the jungle floor as he landed with a small thud following his feet touching the ground.

Though he tended to ignore fear, he was still cautious as he carefully inspected the bloody scene, thoroughly scrutinizing the bodies before him.

He noticed their wounds were inflicted upon their chest and stomach areas, judging by the blood that was seeping out of the wounds.

Their eyes were left still as their mouths hung open.

Geleel couldn't bare the sight fully so he simply closed their eyes for them as he stood up and began exploring the mayhem some more.
