The scene changed to Dario who was now in Southeast Africa.

To be more accurate, Zambia.

It wasn't long before he was picked up from the airport by his colleagues

He was hunting in Africa the first time, but he was paired up in a hunting squad. He was paired up with 2 other man named Smith and Victor.

Smith was from America, just like Dario. While Victor originated from Hungary.

Smith: So kid, you new in the hunting industry?

Dario: Yeah, I recently left Wyoming after a few successful hunts.

Victor: What did you hunt?

Dario: Well, a bear. A deer. A bison. A dingo. And finally a moose.

The two fellow hunters laughed at him.

Victor: He killed a moose haha.

Dario: I mean said moose is a hazard and attacks people.

Smith patted the Macedonian's shoulder.

Smith: Welcome to Africa my friend, where the game is big here. You hunt lions, rhinos, elephants, buffaloes and leopards. The Big 5.

Dario: This is my first time in Africa.

Smith: Heh, watch and learn. This ain't my first rodeo here.

Victor: I've been here twice.

They chuckled.

Smith: We can teach ya, after all we have to hunt these trophies together am I right?

Dario: I mean yea-

Victor: Well i think it's time. Let's get out of this cabin and get in the jeep.

They all grabbed their guns and head out where they approach windowless safari jeep.

Victor and Smith were in frontseats while Dario sat in the backseats. The vehicle started and they began venturing in the wild.

Victor: What were we hunting again?

Dario: Got the list here man, a sable antelope, cheetah, ostrich, lion and elephant.

Smith: Got any names?

Dario: Daudi, Sprinter, Queen Ramavo, Mwanga and Muteesa.

Smith smirked.

Smith: Should be easy.

Dario: Careful guys, I heard that elephants are agressive this season.

Smith: Like I said, watch and learn.

Dario rolled his eyes and mimicked him talking, but to himself.

Unknown to them, something or someone has been watching them drive off.

???: Hmmm...

The figure dashed away.

Dario: Hey Victor, how's Hungary like.

Victor: You mean Magyarország? It's cold but it's nothing better than home.

Dario: I see, I heard Hungarian is hard.

Victor: It is, but not as hard as Chinese and Japanese.

Smith: Any Asian language is hard man.

Dario: Finally we can agree on something.

Smith then had a question of his own.

Smith: So, what games do you play? I like card games.

Victor: Card games? I used to go and gamble in poker but one night I lost it all and swore not to play poker.

Smith looked at the little mirror that showed Dario.

Smith: What about you kid?

Dario: Well... I'm good at FPS shooter games at the PlayStation.

Victor: Ah you gen Z brats, back in my day we played with sticks and stones and now you have all these gadgets.

Dario: I mean it's still fun nonetheless.

Victor then had a question.

Victor: How's love life going?

Smith: Horrible, me and the mrs got a divorce 2 months ago, she took the kids away and am currently single.

Victor: Oh that's rough buddy, well me and mine are stable. Had a few arguments here and there but we still function. What about you kid?

Dario was rather silent.

Victor: Kid, can you hear me?

Dario: Yeah but I rather not talk about it.

Smith: Hey Vic, what if he's a-

Dario: Guys look, there's the antelope!

They stopped the car and saw a young man that had orange hair and red shirt, he had green eyes as he was tan skinned.

Victor: Antelope? That's just a kid.

Dario: A kid, what would a kid do here in the wilderness by himself, that's definitely a trophy. Daudi.

Smith nodded.

Smith: Agreed, it's a trophy disguised as a human. We're killing it-

Dario was the first to fire a shot and hit it straight in the heart. Daudi then fell on the ground face first and to further proove the point he had that small tail in his butt.

Smith: Well I'll be a monkeys uncle, kid. First strike.

Victor: Right in the heart, nice job.

They pat his shoulder and then went to collect the now dead body.

Smith: So like how Seth said, in a span of an hour or two they turn back to their original forms right?

Dario: Yeah.

Victor: And now we need 4 more.

The scene changed to a group of ostriches, but one of them stood out. It was a she as she was in a golden color.

She then turned into her human form. She had dark gold hair, was tan skinned and had yellow eyes with a blue lipstick colored mouth, she looked like she was a queen of some sorts by wearing a black and gold type of outfit.

She was then approached by one of the other ostriches.

Ostrich: Queen Ramavo, I must ask. Is you human form that made you stand out from all of us and made you the leader of our group.

Queen Ramavo then smirked.

Ramavo: That along with my elegance and charm, my way of speaking and natural gifted leadership. I lead you all so I ensure we don't land in a predator's trap.
Ostrich: What about a hunter?

When she heard that she was disgusted.

Ramavo: Oh... humans you mean?

Her subject nodded.

Ramavo: They come here and hunt for pleasure, but good think ostriches aren't usually what they prefer to hunt. It's mostly elephants and lions. And speaking of which I am sort of acquainted to them.
Ostrich: Well my queen is that one of the elephants you're-

She turned around a saw a giant woman who was around 8ft tall, she was stern.

Ramavo: Ah great, here you are Muteesa.

Muteesa: Yeah, can't a gal come to taste some grass?

Ramavo: No wonder you're humongous.

She gave the elephant a sassy smirk.

Muteesa: Watch that mouth, just because you're queen doesn't mean you get to talk down on me as if I am one of your subjects like that chicken over there..

The ostrich felt insulted and then left.

Ramavo: And don't disrespect the queen unless you want to be outnumber by me and my subjects.

Muteesa: Sure sure, send your men at me and I'll deflect them back at you. You think I'm scared of some chickens, the only thing I fear are fire and-

A gunshot was heard. Ramavo grew shocked. Muteesa looked shocked too, she looked down to see a bullet hole from her chest.

She turned around to see the three hunters.

Victor: Damn Smith that was a lousey shot.

The elephant made a war cry and charged at the 3.

Victor fired another shot but it hit her shoulder.

She got close and swatted all 3 away with her hand.

Ramavo: Everyone retreat!

The ostriches then caused a stampede and started running everywhere.

Muteesa didn't care as she grabbed Victor.

Muteesa: You messed with the wrong elephant pal.

Victor: Ahh!

Dario looked for his rifle around as the stampede occured. He saw not afar and he made a quick jump to get it without colliding with an ostrich.

He aimed the gun at Muteesa's heart and fired the shot, which killed the elephant instantly.

Victor fell down.

Victor: We killed her!

Smith was in the jeep.

Smith: Victor hop in! We gotta leave this stampede.

Victor entered the jeep and it drove off, but he realized that Dario wasn't with them.

Victor: Hey! What about the kid?

Smith: Forget him, he was probably killed in the stampede.

They drove off.

The stampede ended. Dario was curled up in a ball and took a peek to see it ended.

Dario: Phew, thank god it's over.

He got up and saw the now dead Muteesa. But no sign of Victor and Smith.

Dario: Victor! Smith! Hello!!!

He looked around. He then realized he was ditched.

Dario: Oh come the fuck on! I was ditched! Plus my bag was in that jeep! Shit!

He stomped on the ground out of anger.

He then checked his rifle to see there was one bullet left.

Dario: Dammit, one bullet left... I'm not gonna survive this... I need to fine shelter or call for help...

He then made his first steps as entered inside a forest like area.

Dario: I'm a goner, I got 1 bullet left and whatever is out there is probably gonna kill me. Can't believe those guys ditched me, so much for being "team players".

Unknown to him, he was getting spied by something... or someone...

Dario: "Hey guys let's go hunt down the elephant first than save it for last", gee that sounded fun considering the fact she almost killed us and we got tan over by a stampede of ostriches and they fled like bitches.

He kept walking around, but didn't noticed getting followed.

Dario: I wonder what's gonna kill me in this part of Africa? Lions? Hyenas? Crocodiles?

The figure following smirked at his struggle.

???: *mumbled* Come on~...

Dario kept walking while looking left and right in case something pops out, but instead he accidentally hit his head on a branch.

Dario: Ahhh! My eyes!

He held his face. But then out of nowhere something launched itself at him and getting the hunter pinned down.

Dario: Oww...

He opened his eyes to see a pale skinned girl with red eyes and long grey hair and had some red dye streaks on her fringes and had a shade of red marking that went down from under her eyes to her cheeks. She wore a dark grey spotted tracksuit, a pair of black sport shorts and red and white sneakers.

To his surprise he recognized her.

Dario: Hey! You're one of the trophies that was listed, along with the antelope and elephant I killed.

Sprinter: Ah so you know me? Then I think you know why I have you here, don't you? Name's Sprinter~.

Dario looked at her red crimson eyes.

Dario: I thought cheetahs preferred more slender prey like gazelles and antelopes? You don't view us humans as threats unless provoked.

Sprinter: You're correct on that pal, if it wasn't for the fact I saw you kill that elephant.

Dario: To be fair.. I did shoot once, my "partners" fired first... *mumbled* Fucking assholes.

The cheetah heard him mumble and chuckled.

Sprinter: Oh boohoo, poor little human. You got all alone.

Dario: Little? Look at you you're like 5'0 or something.

She gave out and angry blush.

Sprinter: Oh but look who's ontop of you tho. Me.

Dario: Yeah yeah-hey why are you blushing?

She looked away.

Sprinter: I don't know what you're talking about.
Dario: I saw you blush.

He smirked.

Dario: Lemme guess, is this your first time being with a guy?

Sprinter: Human, yes. But don't change the subject!

She grabbed him by his jacket sleeves.

Sprinter: That won't stop me from eating you. I will eat your face! Your eyes! Your heart! You're balls-

Dario: What?!

She realized what she just said and had a shocked look.

Sprinter: I-I mean to say your lungs but-

Dario just laughed.

Dario: Hahahahahahaha, man that was hilarious! Hahahaha

However the cheetah didn't find it funny.

Sprinter: Grrr! Shut up! Shut it!

She punched his stomach really hard.

Dario: Oww, ok ok! You're really strong, guess by all the running you do around huh?

Sprinter: Yeah, my style tho. Here in the woods where I belong.

Dario: I can tell, no wonder you're called Sprinter. You sprint around 24/7.

The female had a smile of glee.

Sprinter: I'm a cheetah, it's what we do best.

Dario: And a good looking one too.

Sprinter: S-shut up..

She looked away.

Sprinter: You're supposed to be scared, idiot!

Dario: Awwww, you're so adorable.

He then carassed one of her cheeks with his hand, she was soft. Sprinter was blushing madly.

Sprinter: What are you doing?

Dario: You're beautiful y'know.

The big cat stopped blushing.

Sprinter: I.. I am? You think so?

Dario was supposed to say something but then laughing was heard. They both knew where it came from and from who.

Dario: Oh no... hyenas...

With that said, Sprinter got up and grabbed the hunter and put him on her shoulder and started running in a fast pace to escape the potential intruders.

Dario: Woooooooaaaaaahhhh! Where are you taking me!?

Sprinter: Somewhere safe!

Dario: Awwww, you don't wanna lose me.

Sprinter: I'm still gonna eat you tho.

With that Dario rolled his eyes.

Dario: You will soon discover I don't taste well.

She then sat ontop of him again and exposed her sharp teeth, she bite the hunter down on the right arm.

Dario: Gaahhh!!

Sprinter then sniffed something and she didn't like it.

Sprinter: Ewww, why the hell do you smell like that?

Dario: Hm?

He sniffed as well and then he remembered.

Dario: Oh yeah I used a cologne I bought yesterday and used it this morning.

Sprinter: Bleh, it's gross. Plus you're right. You taste awful.

Dario: I tried to warn ya.

Sprinter: Whatever, I guess I'm stuck with you for the time being.

Dario: I could hunt the rest but I don't have my gun.

Sprinter than had an idea.

Sprinter: Hunt you say? Want me to teach you how you can hunt without that stupid weapon of yours that you dropped earlier?

Dario was interested.

Dario: Hmm...

Sprinter rolled her eyes.

Sprinter: Come on pal, you're wasting my time here. I don't have all day.

Dario: Alright you can show me some tricks.

Sprinter smirked.

Sprinter: Excellent, let's get started then. Remember I'm only doing this because 1, you taste horribly so I can't eat you. 2, because I'm bored. And 3.... Yeah I got no idea what to say for the third one. Let's just go.

To be continued...

OK guys, this was chapter 10 of this book.

Peace out!
