you weren't invited

Surely if Kione could find his own kind this was the pace!  The area was wide open just as Kione liked it.  The food was abundant and the sun felt wonderful on his back.  So far Kione hadn’t spotted his kind but he roamed about the prairie some hope still in his heart.  “Where yall be,” the dog whispered softly to himself.  The lonely heart didn’t want to give up any time soon and what if a sign of his type was beyond the next patch of grass.

After about an hour Kione spotted an injured rabbit and took a moment to run it down.  It was a small meal but after he killed it he lowered his head planning to dig in.  Unfortunately, an unwanted animal who didn’t belong in Kione’s plans showed up.  The grizzly was a male and in a bad mood.  The hell was his problem?  Kione stood in front of his kill, snarling at the giant.  Couldn’t even eat a meal in peace now?

The bear charged and Kione ran to meet him.  A bear claw swiped for Kione’s head and the wild dog crouched down, ducking and continuing for his target.  Kione grabbed the bear’s leg, shaking his head viciously around before having to let as the bear spun around to attack.
