Hunter Or Hunted? Io
A story for Io because he is my first friend on so furry.
Ow. My head hurts. I reached up and grabbed a piece of whatever was on my head. I crack open my eyelids and look at it. Glass. It was glass. And smells faintly of alcohol. Maybe I was hit over the head with a bottle? Seems possible. But why would someone hit me with a bottle? Actually, I knew the reason. There was that poster on the town message board. Some sick human was offering rewards for captured furs. I guess someone decided to grab that reward with me.
So where was I? I opened my eyes fully and saw... A lush winter forest. Absolutely picture perfect. So this was probably the hunting grounds of some reality tv show. But I wasn't planning on being hunted. I looked up at the sky. No moon. So that rules out my quick ticket out of here in werewuskie form. Actually, the stars in the sky looked a bit strange. There were no constellations and all the major stars were missing. So that means that either I was in a gigantic indoor forest or someone put a fake sky over a winter forest. I stood up and felt something else wrong. I felt a bit lighter and stayed in the air longer when I jump. Which meant that there was less gravity. Oh no. I was on another planet. Escape was going to be even harder that I thought.
I started running through the forest. I needed to find some furs to help me. Not getting hunted should be easy. And then I hear the tiniest sound behind me. I automatically leap sideways as a .30-30 caliber bullet blows a hole in the tree next to me, I turn, ready for a fight. Three people against one me hardly seemed like a fair fight. I would kick their butts. And then I realised that one had a pump action shotgun. One had a .30-30 caliber rifle. And the other sported a MP5 submachine gun.
I leap behind the tree that took the bullet for me as I hear both the deep boom of the shotgun and the pops of the SMG. Then I feel the shock wave and hear the bang of the rifle again. Their main problem is the fact that they all stopped to reload at the same time. So I jump out from behind the tree and kick in the chest of the guy with the rifle and then turned to jump behind the tree but the guy with the shotgun had walked around the other side of the tree and finished reloading so I quickly climb up the tree and run along a branch and jump out and land on the ground running. Even though he had a broken ribcage the guy with the rifle had gotten back up and proceeded to fire a bullet into my shoulder. Soon all three of them were firing at me and then the shotgun blows a chunk out of my tail. When I'm healed they are going to pay. Suddenly I hear even more shots going off. None of them seemed to be aimed at me but I was reminded to preform evasive manoeuvres when a branch right next to my head exploded. I really had to wonder: How am I going to get out of this one?
