Taken again
Hera growled softly as she crouched in the tall grass. The others of the pack were behind her, slowly creeping forward.
The Ghost pack was on a hunt to take down a few buffalos. Ezra had taken up the hunt rather enthusiastically, considering he'd never been on one, no one could blame him.
"Wait" Hera hissed.
She looked over the tall grass to see a large herd of buffalos.
"We hit pay day" she told her pack, ducking back down.
"Okay, Rex, you and Ahsoka burn a ring of fire round the left flank, Chopper do the same with the right, Zeb, you and Ezra will cut them off at the South point. Sabine you're with me."
The group nodded and flew in the different directions.
"What are we doing?" Sabine asked.
"We get to drive them from escaping. You want to make it go boom?" Hera inquired.
Sabine grinned joyfully.
"You bet."
The young dragon took off into the sky before plunging down. Sabine created a fire line around the North making the buffalo rear in fright. A long strip of multi coloured acid lined the grass. Spitting sparks on it, Sabine gave a roar of joy as a colourful explosion ignited.
"Nice one. Probably the best art I've seen in a while" Hera smiled as Sabine landed beside her.
The buffalo began running towards the West but a firey explosion made them turn around.
"That's Chopper's work. Let's go" she said taking off with Sabine right behind her.
The other dragons were keeping as many buffalos as they could in a ring of fire. A few managed to get out but at least ten were trapped.
"Ezra! We've got a runner!" Rex yelled.
The young dragon looked over to see a small Buffalo going into the trees.
"I'm on it!" He called zooming after it.
Ezra swerved in and out of trees trying to keep his focus on the buffalo. Seeing a group of tall trees ahead, he shot a fire ball at them. With a cracking and creaking noise, the trees fell, blocking the path. The young buffalo reared in fright but before it could go anywhere, a branch dropped onto it. Pinning the animal to the ground.
"Got cha" Ezra panted, landing a few feet away from it.
The buffalo was looking up at the dragon in terror, making Ezra hesitate. Biting his lip, he looked over his shoulder in case any of the pack was there. Turning back to the animal he sighed.
He really wanted to make his first kill, but what was killing an young animal worth?
Slowly, he moved round to the trees. Putting his head underneath the branch, Ezra grunted as he lifted it a few centirmeters off the ground. It might have been small, but the branch had a surprising amount of weight.
The buffalo quickly scrambled out from the tree and Ezra let it drop back onto the ground with a exhale of relief.
Turning round, Ezra saw the animal looking at him curiously.
"I can't kill you. No one deserves to die young" he told it.
The buffalo trotted over to the cub and licked his face, making Ezra laugh.
"Yeah yeah. Your welcome" he smiled as the buffalo stepped back.
"But you'd best get out of here before my pack finds you" Ezra told it.
The animal turned and trotted into the trees. Ezra saw an adult buffalo appear and nuzzle the youth. Ezra watched as it walked deeper into the forest with a little bit of sadness. He wished he had his parents again.
Ezra was about to take off when something red and large tackled him to the ground. Looking up in surprise, he felt fear flood him at the sight of the crimson and black dragon above him.
"Hello Ezra" Maul greeted silkily.
Ezra gulped.
"How...how do you know my name? Who are you?" He asked shakily.
"You're coming with me."
Maul smacked the cub round the head with his tail and Ezra knew no more.
