As darkness fell that evening, Alex was in the pasture with Bobby and Steve. They’d been there since just before sunset when she showed them the tracks her father had found. She and Steve were in their cougar forms, as it would be easier to scare the bear off this way. Hopefully, they could just convince it to move on, they wouldn’t have to kill it. Killing the creature would be a last resort. But if they had to, Bobby was in human form and had his rifle. There had been some debate as to who would remain human, but in the end it was decided that while they were all capable, Bobby was the best shot. Ready for the hunt, the pair scented the area near where Randy had found the tracks, working outward as they tried to pick up the trail and figure out where the animal had gone.
This way. Steve
