[/center]The sun beat down upon them all, Its ray's baking the earth and sizzling anything that dared stay in one spot for to long. A few rather unfortunate creature's forms lay, Waiting for the pesky buzzards to come and rid the earth of their bodies. A small expanse of water lay smack dab in the middle of the Savannah, It wasn't large but enough for a small herd of Zebra. Perhaps a good meal for the pride would be coming...
Sanaa had been stalking the herd for some time now, studying each individual, hoping to pick out the perfect one to target down. It was a older mare, she looked fat and healthy but it was clear by the grew on her muzzle of her age. She would be nowhere as fast as the other's. Slowly Sanaa crouched in the tall grass, her tan hide blending in completely. Only her piercing emerald eye's could be seen, Only if you could see color that is.
Inch by inch she grew closer, One by one the Zebra took turns drinking from the water, whilst the other's kept watch or grazed. A bird flew off in the distance, it's coos distracted the Zebra enough... Her muscles tensed as she sprung forward, Claws instantly drawing into the hard earth pulling her forward. She was closing in on the herd when before she reached them the herd spotted something and immediately scattered. Her chance of reaching the older mare was shattered as the other's took flight with her admist them...
She aimed for a younger stallion at the flank of the herd, but as her claws ripped down his flanks, his hooves met her chest. As she fell into the earth, dust flew up all around her. A small yet rather painful wound lay across the right side of her chest, It wasn't deep but it would be sore tomorrow. She growled lowly, pulling herself to her haunches. Emerald green eye's darted around looking for the source of her lost hunt...
