Pride of Prey

Prints and Family 2

As I waited I must of fallen asleep as I woke up in a drenched sweat and hunger pains since i hadn't eaten since yesterday. As I stood up I looked outside and saw the Lions were no where to be seen. I pulled the chair up and out of the door and finally opened the door. The air smelled fresh and of pine but also death. The smell made my stomach turn more. I gagged and finally let go of all the stress I'd been holding in. "Where did they go?" I looked around and saw tracks.

 I breathed in heavily and walked further out seeing the bodies were devoured of flesh. The bones had been picked clean. The meat laid in a small piece around the skeleton. The body of a bad man. No one deserved to die like that but he did bring it on himself. He purposely taunted them. 

Lions hold grudges. Don't fuck with a lion. They will track you-hunt you and finally eat you. Just for spite. Elephants been known to kill humans for revenge as well as Tigers and Cows. As I walked further I noticed something a small dirt pathway. Then I saw it. "Oh no!"

 A sign that said "Path to Central Peak University!" I had to warn them. They weren't Roger. I had to do something. I was terrified to face them again. I was an expert just not a hunter. I held my breath as once more I throw up. I wiped my mouth after I finally stopping gagging. I decided. I had to help them. I started to run. I ran as fast as I could up the pathway. 

As it opened up. I saw a smaller forest to the father side of the downhill and the University. They had to be hiding in there. As I looked around I saw a small grocery store. It had a smaller deli like store attached to it.  It read "Fresh Doughnuts!" I was starved. I ran for the store and stumbled down the hill as I heard what sounded like a roar. It was close. I guess it was more of a bakery then Deli. It smelled delicious. As I neared I saw paw prints. They had come this way! I looked down the hill and there were students running around. Smiling taking pictures. I understood it was a happy time. That wouldn't last long! 

It was finally here, spring break. After weeks and weeks of hardship and finals. Graduation was coming up fast. It was time for some fun in the sun. My family had just flown up from Florida to see me. "Omg Ellie guess who's here to see you?" Jumping up out of my bed startled as i was asleep from cramming in late night studying. I had to get an A. I just had to. My parents would kill me if I got a B, this late in the semester. "Who?" I said wiping a hand down my face as I rubbed my eyes. As my best friend Margo opened the door I screamed. 

"Mom!" My mother ran at me and we collided falling to the floor. "Wow Rug burn!" I yelled as she squealed we rolled over each other. It was a stock pile. "When did you get in?" I said as I huffed and puffed out of breathe. My chest hurt and my butt stung from where I hit the rug. "Where's dad?" I said as I looked around for him and at the door. Then back at her. Then I saw his grey blonde hair and my little sister with the same hair walk into the room. 

"Hi Dad!" I said waving like an idiot. Hey smiled as if he'd hadn't seen me in forever. "Omg look at you Sailor all grown up. Where did the time go? So how you been baby girl?" He said hugging me. His mustache tickled as he coughed making his mustache fly up like a flag in the wind. I laughed out loud.

Grabbing the bag and my little sister's hand. "Let's go get some food?" My father said he loved me, gave me anther hug as well did my sister. She was the spit fire of the group. "Hey what about me? Am I chopped liquid or something?" She said in a stern but girly voice. "You mean liver." She gagged when I said it. "Ewe Ellie that's disgusting. I mean who chops liver?" She said rolling her eyes hugging her dolly. 

"Chefs baby girl. There called chefs!" She looked at me then at dad. He nodded and shrugged. She lost interest as fast as it began. She never got mad, she just was over it. She had A.D.D. or Add. She was the reason I smiled when I had began to get depressed. She was my little hero. My sister jumped up and down as we walked the hall. Men ran down the hall in underwear as women jumped in smaller dresses and waved to my dad. He rolled his eyes and hugged Ellie to his leg.

 "Hi!" He said nervously. They winked and moved aside as they looked at my dad with attraction and I gagged. "Omg please that's my dad!" Ellie said as they looked down at my sister with a hand on her hip. "Hey that's my dad!" she shouted. My dad smiled. Daddy's little girl. I smiled and shook my head. "Don't worry sweetheart. I'd take good care of him!" She said as she licked at her lips. Omg what the hell really. "Thanks but I think my dad has enough to deal with?" The girls finally noticed me. "He's your dad!" they looked at me and back at him. 

"Must of got her looks from her mom!" They snickered. My dad's smile fell from his face. "Well as my wife was Miss Texas and was definitely hotter then both of you. I'd say so!" they gasped and the other one choked on her gum. "Omg!" the one girl said banging on her friend's back. "Wow what an asshole!" The girl spoke as I walked forward. My dad stopped me. "Later! Ladies!" my father walked by them as my sister gave them the finger. I snickered. I still couldn't believe that had just happened. 

They gave us daggers and a snarl of words that would make a sinner laugh. I just didn't care. I mean who the hell cares what she and her thought. "Sorry!" The one who had choked said as we walked by them. My dad nodded. He didn't acknowledge them beyond that. He didn't like anyone that talked down about his wife. As we left the hall we hit a button on the elevator to go down. "Sorry about that dad!" he snorted and looked over at me. "You didn't say it!" he winked. I smiled and shook my head. 

"Little Rhonda Rousey here was about to go hand to hand!" she nodded. "That's my dad!" I smiled at the cuteness! She was really a cute kid. Really fun to be around and had a sense of humor that would make you spit milk. She's really funny. My mom smiled as the door opened and the girls gasped as they saw my mom. "Hi mom!" I turned back as the girls eyes boggled. I guess that showed them! "She's pretty!" The one girl whispered and my mother looked at them and then back at us.

"Mom they were hitting on dad?" My mom looked at Ellie and back at the girls. 

"Is that right?" She looked at the girls and smiled a villainous smile. She then grabbed my dad and kissed him. My dad gasped as she grabbed his hair. "Go mom!" I said loudly as Ellie smirked "My mom is claiming her man!" snapping her hip. My mom let go and the girls looked shocked and almost impressed as the lead girl looked disgusted. "Take your show to the strip show!" she shouted and turned and fled. My mother laughed and I slapped her hand. Ellie jumped up and down. That was quite a show and I thought of my mom in a whole new light. "Badass mom!" She smiled "Language dear!"
