tw: gore inbound, do not read if you are sensitive to violence
She knew that she needed to stay in camp - well, that's what the adults claimed, anyway. But Hati's instincts whispered adventure and wandering; staying in the junkyard with whatever person got stuck babysitting her, quite frankly, appealed less and less to her. She wanted to roam and learn, evolve. At her age, leopard cubs started following their solo mother in hunts - this same instincts roared to life within her. She knew she was destined for greatness; she just needed to start preparing for it.
So, she snuck out of camp; not that unusual for a kid her age. Her plan had been simple enough - lure an adult into a game of a hide and seek. After a few rounds, lulling her unfortunate babysitter into a false sense of security, she slipped out. With the amount of nooks and crannies in camp, she knew the adult would have an exhaustive search ahead of them before realizing she'd scampered off. By now, though, it'd certainly been a few hours. A search party, or something of the sort, she guessed was hot on her scent trail.
Well, she had scent trails of her own to follow. Catching rats bored her now, and she hunted for larger prey today. She scented a duo of some odd creature she never smelled before. But they stank, to the point where she wondered if the goddamn birds dropped out of the sky if they were unfortunate enough to fly above the stinky boys. This made them extremely easy to tail; indeed, she heard odd laughing sounds coming up ahead, which she guessed belonged to the stinky boys.
Slowing down, she lowered her belly to the ground and slunk forward, belly to the ground. Distracted by the hunt, she hardly bothered to look at the ground - which proved a fatal mistake. Once her front right paw took another step forward, she landed on something cold and shiny; hearing a click, she instantly found herself suspended in the air by her paw. From her shoulder, she heard a loud pop! before a wave of agony hit her entire leg - usually, dislocated limbs didn't hurt too badly, but with her entire weight pulling the tissues without the bone support... well, she instinctively let out a loud wail of pain.
She quickly bit her tongue, remembering the dangerous creatures she'd been tailing for the last few minutes - she stayed silent, despite the burning pain radiating from her shoulder. But she shouldn't have bothered; the quarry became the hunters, drawn to her cry. The undergrowth crackled and shifted, as the laughing noises came closer. Twisting around in the air with teary eyes, she could barely make out the two blobs - but, if she could, she'd see they were striped hyena females with heavily mutated skin. They hardly resembled hyenas, aside from their body's posture and laughing noises they made, due to their crocodile-scaled bodies and eight spider eyes.
She didn't even hear their attack coming. Almost simultaneously, she felt two mouths chomp into her body. The first went for her right hind leg, instantly breaking her femur with its bone-crushing jaws and violently shaking her like a chew toy - the muscles in her leg began to rip as the hyena continued to work its teeth around her limb. Just as Hati let out a high-pitched shriek, the hyena managed to sever her leg, leaving her with about two inches of intact femur.
The other hyena seemed more intent on killing the cub instead of just ripping it to pieces. Hati's head became enveloped in a hot, toothy maw as the hyena chomped and savagely bit at her cranium. The only thing preventing her instant death seemed to be that the hyena wasn't quite tall enough to easily grab her head, so the hyena needed to jump up with each attempt - this gave Hati a chance at survival, but resulted in several long gashes on her face, and the violent rupturing of both her eyes.
How grotesque.
