I’d lived in Eugene my entire life, not including my time at college, which had been in Seattle. But never had I ever seen a bear run through a crowd of people and attack. From what I knew about bears, they kept to themselves unless provoked. The wildlife in that area should have been well accustomed to the theater. It had been there for over thirty years and there had never been an incident that I’d ever heard of.

The animals are hungry. Their habitats are being destroyed, I thought, trying to make sense of what had happened. Even with all that in mind, I couldn’t shake the idea that this bear had not come from the woods out of necessity. It had seemed furious, vengeful.

Okay, maybe I was in shock even as I screamed at Inigo, who seemed to be running toward the danger as everyone else fled the scene. I barely remember being scooped into his strong arms and raced toward the parking lot where he’d parked his Jeep. The cars were packed in, horns honking wildly as the moviegoers tried to escape the incensed creature who Inigo seemed to be watching in the rear view mirror.

“Go!” I whimpered, seeing an opening for us to escape, but he didn’t move, his gaze still fixed on the glass. “Inigo, move!”

He heard me that time and stepped on the gas, finally managing to get us out of the parking lot, but not without a final look over his shoulder.

“We need to call 9-1-1,” I mumbled. “Someone needs to send an ambulance… and the SPCA… oh God, can they take down a bear?”

Inigo turned his head to look at me for a long moment, his face almost blank.

“The SPCA,” he mumbled. “Oh gods…”

“He must have been rabid… or someone threatened his babies…” I was rambling now but I couldn’t stop.

“Bears almost never get rabies,” Inigo intoned, his eyes glued to the windshield. I had no idea how he could see in the pitch blackness beyond, his headlights not on.

“Your headlights,” I muttered, finding a modicum of sanity.

“What?”

“Your headlights aren’t on. How can you see?”

He didn’t respond but he turned on the lights.

“Inigo…?”

Suddenly, my own shock was wearing off and my concern for him was becoming stronger.

“Hm?”

“Are you okay?” I murmured. He gave me a quick look and then a grimace that I thought was supposed to be a reassuring smile.

“I’m better now that I got you out of there.”

I shuddered and closed my eyes, my head falling back against the leather of the headrest. But as I did, all I could see was the bear’s claws slashing viciously, his restless growl permeating my skull. I opened my eyes again.

“Why don’t you pull over for a few minutes and catch your breath?” I suggested softly. “We’re long gone now.”

I reached out to squeeze his leg and he shook his head.

“No,” he sighed. “I just want to get you home safe.”

The words sent a chill through me. I didn’t want to go home and deal with Odessa, not yet.
