Subject: My Likkle Story - Part 3

A rustling in the bushes announced the arrival of the squirrel archers. They saluted and stood ready for orders. But they looked confused at why they were here. "The vermin are only hours away at the moment." Leaflyer said simply. Many of them gasped. Leaflyer continued, "It seems they decided to drop by early, so we are going to give them a few surprises." The others grinned at the prospect of this. "Here is what's going to happen," He said, "First,..."

* * *

They came crashing through the forest brandishing weapons and grinning evilly. All of the squirrels were positioned behind the pits that were lined with sharpened stakes. The pits were sationed behind the tripwires. The tripwires were directly in front of the oncoming vermin. Leaflyer had to stifle a laugh at the sight of the vermin who were oblivious to the traps which were only a few metres in front of them.

As expected the frontmost vermin found out about the tripwires the hard way. Leaflyer had placed several sharp rocks behind the wires and many vermin had their eyes stabbed or noses broken not to mention cuts evrywhere on them. The other vermin were taken a back at this but they came on rushing anyway. That was when they met the rest of the tripwires. Squirrel laughter rang out at this. The vermin leader loked at the trees with fury in his eyes. A couple squirrels jumped down into plain view behind the concealed pits. With a roar the vermin charged forward meeting the third set of wires.

Now the vermin came more slowly. Leaflyer signalled for the squirrels to ready their bows. When he saw them ready he called out "Fire!" and some more vermin were put out of action. They rushed forward a bit yelling but suddenly most of them disappeared. Leaflyer could see their carcasses impaled on the stakes. A couple of vermin tried to jump the pit but it was too wide and they too were impaled. Vermin were really, really dumb. Several more volleys of arrows flew out from the trees cutting the population of local vermin down some more.

About a quarter of the invading army met their doom that day and another quarter was injured. Not bad for one days work. That night Leaflyer fell asleep smiling while the vermin were awake and tending to their wounds.

To be continued...
