CATCH IT!!!!!

As the females slept, the other meerkats scurried out of the cave. They climbed up to their special pomegranate dangling in a tree.Finally it was ready. They stared at it with pride. Suddenly a dark  shadow passed. The meerkats scattered .  It was Akeldama, the vulture. He had grey feathers, an upturned beak, a bald pink head and he loved to eat pomegranates. Some dust blew in the meerkats eyes. They turned away for 5 seconds, and when they looked back, Akeldama and their pomegranate were gone. 

One of the meerkats named Tueur saw him flying away and shouted after him. They speed after him with lightning speed( literally). A meerkat  grabbed  at the fruit but his hand slipped and he fell backwards onto the ground. The others made a meerkat chain, Akeldama  flew higher. Now they could see the females scavenging around to find the missing fruit. Akeldama let go of the fruit, they were falling.

One of the meerkats catches the fruit, Akeldama speeds down and hits the meerkat out of the sky, but the meerkat has already passed the fruit. Now they were playing catch,  Akeldama caught the ball in his talons, but he fumbled. The fruit fell faster than the meerkats. Akeldama chased it fiercely and caught it in one scaly talon he started to fly away cheerfully. Until he felt something hit him on his back weighing him down, It was the meerkats. Without warning they jumped off onto the sandy hot ground. Akeldama continued flying but with his eyes closed.
Splat!!!!! Akeldama flies straight into an overhanging cliff. With the fruit out of Akeldama’s sharp grasp the meerkats were free to take it. It rolled down a sandy slope and sofly bounced off a small rock, Tueur yelled “CATCH IT!!!” Because he missed- they formed a pyramid and caught it with complete ease. Tueur grabbed the fruit. Because he was so proud he drop-kicked the ball over some trees. The females saw and screamed when it hit the ground and splatted. They walked calmly and grabbed onto the males ears and towed them away saying that they will get revenge in dangerous tones.
