Loud sounds wake me, buzzing and groaning. The ground shakes. Trees falling and getting louder. Where are the animals? The rocks from the distance rattling as the sounds come closer. The smell of smoke comes, it is horrendous.

Curious, I go see. The sounds all play a song to me. It calls to a beat of trees falling, and the the leaves swishing. The offensive smell grows worse. I hunger...
...and hunger. I hear other sounds. I can not resist. I hear talking. HUMANS! Must eat! Must show why I am the one to be feared.

They do not see til it is too late. I grabbed one. I drive my teeth into the first. His howler warns the others. They ran from me. His dying breathe escapes from his lips. My craws tear his outer skin. And then I hear a whirl and a thump.

I smell smoke...

I look at the direction of the thump. A tree is struck. Then I look at the opposite direction. Another human aimed his oddly shaped rock at me.

"HOW DARE YOU," I yell.

He twitches his finger. Something comes out of the rock and hit me. I fell off my meal. My shoulder ache. He comes to take my food, my meal, my means to live...

He...

I get up again. He aimed at me again. But this time, he fell to another. Another of my kind bite his throat. The large male drag the food with the rock away.

I must get away. This must be his territory. I limp away without anything but an aching shoulder.

I crawl, climb, and limp away. My injury still hurt. Pain beats like a heart. The more humans come, the further I must leave.

It is then I arrived at my sleeping spot. Disturbed and broken, it is changed. Anger took hold. But I value life more. I look around. Someone is still here. No longer I can hold my rage. I lunged.
I, I do not remember...

...my sight is blurry. A human stand over me. I try to swipe.

My claws...

...my claws...

Where is my claws?

"Noooooooooo!"

"Welcome to humanity," the human exclaims.
