The Hunter

The shot was too easy. At the precise moment the hunter released his grip on the arrow, he switched his aim, and the arrow pinned the old wood structure around the opening of the mine rather than Camila’s head.

The arrow served its purpose. Camila took off running, moving so quickly that even he missed her first step. A thrill rushed through him. The chase was what he lived for. And Camila Bell had just become his next target.

He had no choice now that she’d gotten a good look at the mine. She’d seen too much, and the risk was too great. If there was ever a sound excuse to kill the girl, then that was it. She would tell someone what she’d seen, and they would investigate and find his mine tunnel and the private land it led to. They would see the years’ worth of trophies from the game he’d illegally hunted, then they would arrest him and find out that he hadn’t committed all that crime alone.

He’d come to the woods tonight to let off some steam. Maybe it was fate that put Camila in his path. Now that plan A had clearly failed him, killing the girl seemed like a great plan B. After all, hunting accidents happened all the time. Camila’s long dark hair could easily be mistaken for an animal.

The hunter slid another arrow from the suede quiver that rested over his shoulders. And as the girl rushed by him, not more than one hundred feet away, he watched her go. He tried to stay calm, though adrenaline—which he craved more than venison—rushed through his veins.

Ten, nine, eight, seven… he counted silently, giving the girl enough time to gain somewhat of an advantage. Then the hunt began.
