Night Wars

Isolated and surrounded by her worst enemies The lioness fought hard, but her fate was sealed "You're gonna die tonight kitty kat" one hyena said Then he bit her viciously The others joined the attack.... When the dust had settled The lioness lay lifeless..... "Hey did you hear the commotion last night" one lion asked to the other "It was the hyenas and lionesses fighting" replied another "Were there any casualties" asked the lion with the black mane " Yes, they killed a lioness last night" answered another."But tonight they'll feel the pain" he added Later that night they heard the hyenas laughing A laughter that curdled their blood The lions began walking towards the hyenas The smell of blood was everywhere The lions were focused on the battle ahead "There'll be some dead hyenas tonight" The golden maned lion said They increased their pace as the stench of hyena intensified The hyenas stopped laughing When the lions came into view The lions attacked immediately, the payback was swift and deadly And many of the hyenas fled When it was over 3 hyenas lay dead And the faces of the big cats were stained in blood Roars of victory echoed through the night
