Peso the weregriffin

part 5: predator's pursue

Sam and shellington jerked back. "b-but peso! w-we're teammates! remember!?" sam shouted, trembling uncontrollably. peso blinked as if he was hit with reality. he got up onto both hind legs and rubbed his chin. he gave a "remorseful" stare. "hmm... you're right... what am I thinking? how cruel of me.." he stated in a fake guilty voice, placing a clawed finger to his beak with a "sorrowful" face. he carefully looked at them. they were lulled into a false sense of security. shellington sighed in relief. "see, I knew you were still there! now let's get back-"

"...you deserve a 5 second head start." peso grinned with a hungry glint in his eye. shellington and sam's face went pale as their eyes widened. "b-bu-but...! peso!" sam tried to speak, but the fear kept her from thinking clearly. "alright. 10 seconds." he stated turning around and covering his eyes with his eagle hands. "are you serious?" sam retorted angrily. "10,9,8,7,6-" peso starting counting down rapidly, startling sam and shellington. "WE GOTTA TAKE THIS CHANCE." shellington cried grabbing sam's wrist and bolted away from the counting griffin.

"4,3,2,1, ready or not, HERE I COME!!" peso roared as he took flight into the air and bolted in the direction his former teammates ran.

as shellington and sam ran, they heard the beating wings of the hungry griffin behind them. Sam looked up and her eyes met with the carnivorous stare of the former penguin. she barely recognized him. the only thing that identified him was his blue collar. Sam wanted to cry at this, but the tugging and fear she felt kept her eyes from even watering. they bolted through the thick forest, stumbling occasionally. then they saw a clearing up ahead. "this is it!" sam exclaimed as she picked up the speed. they raced to the gup A, in blissful relief until...

peso flew over head and landed on the gup's windscreen, cracking the grass greatly. "PEEK-A-BOO!" he yelled as he rose his talons. shellington cringed and clenched his eyes in fear bracing for impact.

"NO!!"

he felt himself get yanked back... and heard a slashing sound along with a cat-like yowl. he glanced at sam...

and saw a large claw mark running down her face.
