Sally/Panda/Bug

A small group of Alpacas roamed across the prairie cautiously. There were always on the lookout for predators. Panda took up the rear, while Sally and young Bug led the way. "This looks like a safe place. At least for now." The large male said. Sally lowered her head to eat. Panda, as always, kept watch for danger.


Shooter

The Harpy Eagle had been flying for a while now. He could feel himself becoming hungrier with each minute that passed. He would have originally scouted out to explore, but right now all he wanted was something to eat. At first, he thought he wouldn't find anything good to eat. So there were things like squirrels and whatnot, but it was nothing that he was hungry for.

Feeling his wings grow heavy with tiredness, he decided to take a rest and swooped down to perch on a large tree branch. From here he could see much of the prairie; the grass, some trees, moving little splotches-- that's when he realized he wasn't the only one around. Wanting to check it out and see if it was anything he might check off as a meal, he took to the skies again and was soon enough circling overhead the group. He easily picked out the small one, and though it wasn't at all anything he would take on, he decided to go for it and take his chances. Zooming down from the sky as quietly as he could, he kept his wings slightly folded in perfect position as he dived, his beak aimed at Bug. As he neared rapidly, he was a bit startled. He didn't expect the thing to be that big, it hadn't looked so big from above. He kept going though, and at the last moment jerked skyward again with his powerful talons outstretched, aimed to strike at the younger one's head.


Sally/Panda/Bug

Bug was unaware of the predator that flew overhead. Panda was too, at first. But he noticed the bird just in time. "Go! Run!" He blurted out. Sally 'clucked' and urged her son away from the danger.

Once he was sure that Bug was safe, Panda screamed at Shooter and kicked out at him.


Shooter

Shooter released a sharp squawk as the small creature moved, and he was about to circle over the ground when he caught something coming at him from the corner of his eye. Giving off an annoyed squealing chirp, he angled his wings, fortunatly only causing the kick to strike the end of his wing. Flapping quickly to the skies again, he began soaring after the two that had left, doing his best to avoid Panda. Then he lowered himself a few yards from the ground and began zooming back and forth around the heads of Bug and Sally, squawking loudly and snapping with his beak and striking blindly with his talons.
