Lynx Tribe chapterone
Tomma's veiw The rays of twilight streached out across the mountians when i spotted a strange sight. My mate's cousin was following a human contraption of some sort. it was curious to me that he would be even near a human. I couldn't belive my eyes when i saw him jump on to the top of this cart. only a lone human, a female i thought was onboard. i ran down as fast as i could my breath running short for i was hunting for my cubs diner. what a terrible site i witnessed when i finally arived. "Scorg! what have you done? Have you lost what little mind you have?" the human had been slain her neck and body had several teeth and claw marks. "She was tresspassing into our teratory." he answered. I shook my head at him. "This was unnessacery. You could have just frightened her away." suddenly there was a loud noise like one i never heard. We both climbed up into the back of the cart. there layed in a blood soaked blanket was a human cub, the poor thing. "Another one." Scorg said as he raised his claw. "This will be easier then the other." "NO!" I shouted as I scrached him across the face my three foreclaws dripping with his blood. "AHH you fool. we have to kill it." he argued. "For what being to young to decide to come into our teratory?" I said to him. He grined and said "Consider it a mercy killing. it would die out here by it's self." Clearly mercy was not on his mind. "Then i will raise it." my heart melted as i said the words. they just came out of my mouth. i couldn't belive it anymore then he did. Scorg laughed "You're jokeing right." he laughed again as he leaned into the cub, his mouth open this time. I paniced this time. when I tried to stop him he threw me to the other end of the cart. I looked on in terror. "THAT'S ENOUGH SCORG!" came my mate's voice from not far off. Tran the strongest in our tribe, was our leader. I felt lucky to have picked him in my younger days. So careing and understanding, but most importantly fare. "What is going on here?" he asked. It was Scorg who answered. "Your lovely mate here wishes to raise this cub." Tran looked from me to the cub then back. "It's human. and where is it's parents?" Scorg began to try to hide behind the cart as i explained what evil he had done. "Is this true cousin?" a small 'yes' came from behind the carage. Tran didn't speak for many minutes. I could tell he was considering every possiblity. He sighed "You may care for it if you wish." my heart leapt. "However should any humans come to look for it you must hand it over to them." "That is all i ask. to give it a chance to live." i answered. Then I lick him to show my happiness. I returned to the cub licking it to calm it. When it stopped crying I gripped it's blanket in my teeth and carried it with me. Scorg called out "And what about my face." Tran turned to him "It becomes you." he said because Scorg was a coward and always ran from a challenge. The best word for him would be a bully. "Consider it your punishment for killing the human. And make sure you barry her in their fashion." Tran added. As we walked he whisppered to me " And consider the care of that human cub your punishment for scratching him and not gathering food for our son." I almost droped the human. "Oh no Barrok." Tran laughed "you needn't worry Tomma. I managed to gather some fish. this cub however." "I'll give him some milk when we get home."I said smiling down at him. It was not far to our cave. my little Barrok couldn't speak yet but it was plain to see he enjoyed his new brother. "He's paler then any human i've seen." i said. "I would imagine that there are as many diffrent types of them as there is of flowers or bird or beast. So what will you call him?" Tran said to me. "I think I'll call him Shonzo." "That's an interesting name." tran seemed impressed. "Shoonnz..zo" Barrok said. "Well this is a good omen." Tran said. In our tribe it is belived that when a cub speaks the name of someone as their first word, a bond is formed and they become almost inseperable. several hours passed and Scorg finally returned. "There! your human is barried." He looked at Shonzo with so much hate in his eyes. Tran stepped between them. "You may want to reconsider who you get angry at. If you hadn't killed her, she would have taken the child out of here many hours ago." "I was protecting our home" Scorg screamed. Tran stood there unshaken, like a rock. "that may well be, but there are other ways of doing it with out killing. now go. Wash yourself in the river. You stink of blood and dirt." Scorg looked as if he were about to rip Tran's head off, but my mate growled at him and the coward ran off to do as he was told. More of our tribe gathered around our two sons. "It looks funny." said Tema a youg female cub just a little older then my Barrok. Her mother Suki quited her "Now sweety that's not very nice. why don't you play with them." Shonzo stood and stepped toward Tema. It was a bit funny that he had no fur. I ripped a small peice of the blanket and did my best to tie it around his waist. "That's better i think." i said we all laughed for a bit about it. Tema moved in closer. "Hi my name's Tema." "He can't talk in our tounge yet." I explained, but then from out of no where. "Tttemma" I was shooked. We all were shooked. Shonzo had spoke in Lynxish. "I think he'll be just fine Tomma." Tran said. "Yes just fine. Strange though. Very good my little human son."
