Mondo's Clan

Chapter 12

Shad came to Mondo, "We are running short of smoked meat, we need to hunt." Mondo laughed and the Cats need some exercise too. some exercise too. Drago and Malo asked to go, I said who is going to help gurk. Malo says Toba and Leos they have already been helping him so they know what to do. Mondo decided to take all three cats runt needed to sample a kill...it had been awhile. They left early the next morning through the Bramble Gate. They had been following the dry wash for only a mile when Bruno stopped and ooked over his shoulder at Mondo and rumbled deep in his throat. Sondi and Runt slipped in amongst the group I put my hand on them and could feel them trembling. This told me it was not game ahead. I motioned everybody down and waited. Then I heard voices and crashing through the bushes....lomen... they always traveled on the top alongside the wash. I always traveled the bottom of the wash. The top of the wash had bushes that blocked off the view of the actual Wash. We waited and let them pass. I tell my friends I heard human voices as well. We turned and followed them we knew where they would stop...they never learn. Sure enough they stopped in the same location, a clearing that I had rescued the first of my clan. We waited for them to settle down. I had Drago climb up the hole near the downed tree. As soon as we attacked he would start cutting the people loose. Finally they began to nap with one awake, he hears a noise and turns around and Runt charges and bites down on his privates...I don't know whats with that cat. The Guard screams and Shad drives his spear into the guards throat. The other two lomen scream "The Beast" and instead of turning to fight they turned in fright. If it had not been for Sondi and Bruno we would have not been able to catch them. They ran them down from behind Sondi took a bite out of the upper right thigh which cause the lomen to crash to the ground with Malo right behind , he drove his spear all the way through the back and into his heart . Bruno took down the third one by himself. He leaped high catching the lomen in the center of the back as the lomen hit the ground Bruno drove his tusks into the back of the lomen's neck. The neck snapped instantly all I had to do was smile. As usual we drug the bodies out into the bush away from the trail. When Shad and I got back the prisoners were free, I heard a gasp and a voice saying it is you. I looked over and was surprised to see Lateen, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug The woman looked at me then at my feet and said , " You are the Beast" then she drew back as the Cats entered and went to my side. Lateen told me his story from the time the tribe left thinking I was dead, all the way till now. Then the other people told me of their capture and that there twelve more captives on the way We walked them to the Bramble Gate and inside. I told them we would rescue the rest of their tribe then they would have a choice. To either go back to their hunting grounds or to join our clan The next morning the next group of captives arrived there were 6 of them and 4 guards. Mondo could sense the Bruno off to the right and instructed him to roar. When he did the lomen panicked. This was what Mondo was expecting, as t he lomen tried to runaway Sondi and Runt charge them from behind. Shad and Drago arose in front of them with spears at the ready. They thrust forward with their spears, Drago 's spear striking only the club the of them with spears at the ready. They thrust forward with their spears, Drago 's spear striking only the club the lomen was caring. The lomen raised his club preparing to strike at Drago when Mondo and Bruno arrived . Never slowing down Bruno hit the loman in the chest knocking him down and Mondo landed on the loman's midsection as he sliced at the lomans throat with his knife. It was over as fast as it started, they walked back to the captives all free now. Thanks to Malo. Mondo looked over the group 2 women three teenagers, a boy and 2 girls, and one man. Mondo sent the boys and Runt with the freed captives to the bramble gate. He gave them instructions to remain in the wash near the hole under the fallen tree and to hold Runt back till he signaled. as he sliced at the lomans throat with his knife.

Mondo and Shad had climbed a tree either side of the trail where it left the clearing. Bruno was in the bushes behind them. Sondi had been following the lomen, the exits to the clearing were blocked off. One of the omen backed up near the hole where the boys were waiting, he was looking all around the clearing he was uncomfortable. He could smell blood, the other four guards were also uneasy. As the guards heel came down on the edge of the hole ... a bird whistled, a lion roared and the guard disappeared down the hole. The boys had each grabbed a leg and yanked the guard into the hole. Before he could recover Runt had removed his throat then grabbed a leg and yanked the guard into the hole. Before he could recover Runt had removed his throat then leaped into the clearing and was now facing the other four Guards. Mondo and Shad leaped out of their trees driving their spears into the chests of two of the guards. The last two had no chance at all. They turned to run back and came face to face with Sondi and Runt as they stopped Bruno hit them from the rear. Drago and Malo were cutting the captives free. This bunch consisted of 3 females 2males a child about 10 and a baby in the arms of one of the women. All together we had rescued 17, 16 from one village and Lateen from Mondo 's home clan. eaped into the clearing and was now facing the other four Guards.

Lud took the newcomers in hand and talked to them. By the time the hunters had returned with their kills it had already been decided. All of the Villagers except for the woman and the baby had decided to go back to their Village. The woman with the baby was just too weak to make the trip and the lomen had killed her husband It was decided that Mondo, Lateen, Bruno and Sondi would guide them back then they would continue on to Tondors Tribe Mondo 's Clan furnished all the men with spears including the teenage boy this made them a force to be reckoned with. 9 Spear men and 2 Big Cats. I think they would relish meeting up with some lomen . The women were pulling the travois and each travois had at least 4 extra spears on it. Three days into their trek they got their wish. Thanks to the Cats they were ready, the women and children gathered in the center the men squatted around them with their spears angled out to protect the women The lomen charged out of the bushes screaming and waving their clubs. Mondo and Lateen stood and began throwing their spears with the women handing them more. The lomen were surprised when the Cats attacked from behind. The cats forced the lomen onto the anchored spears and the Villagers stabbed with malice. They were angry and wanted revenge. By the time it was all over there were 11 dead lomen and four wounded. No one angry and wanted revenge. By the time it was all over there were 11 dead lomen and four wounded. No one planned to take prisoners, they would be finished off'. The Villagers had 2 men with broken bones and one dead. It was obvious that the women were proud of their men. One of the injured had a broken shoulder. The loman got through and caught him with its club. One of the women picked up a spear and stabbed the loman multiple times. The other women jumped in and it was a Melee after that. was obvious that the women were proud of their men. One of the injured had a broken shoulder.

We were met by the village chief and the way. We were met by the village chief and the medicine man. After they conquered their fear of the Cats we were welcomed with open arms. The people we had returned to their village equaled over a third of the Village population and were wife's and daughters and fathers and sons. They were very important to the Village. They threw us a feast that night and we departed early the next morning. Village. They threw us a feast that night and we departed early the next morning.
