Nine

JONATHAN WAS TRYING TO sleep but had barely closed his eyes when he sat up quickly at the sound of something walking on the front porch; something that sounded big and heavy on the creaking planking and interested in getting inside. He still couldn’t move fast with his entire leg wrapped and splinted the way it was, but the pain was tolerable now and he’d learned to be careful and keep his weight on the other one. One of Bob’s shotguns was beside the bunk, and Jonathan grabbed it as he sat there watching the door. He knew it was a bear again; maybe more than one this time. They showed up most evenings, making themselves at home around the place as they looked for food scraps or whatever else they could get into. Bob said they wouldn’t bother anything, and he always took care to avoid throwing out anything that might attract them, but they were curious and came anyway. Jonathan didn’t buy it when Bob said they were nothing to worry about. Until he saw them here, Jonathan had never seen a bear in the wild but knew what they were capable of. Every time he heard a sound he couldn’t identify outside that door, he was convinced that any minute one of the bigger ones would smash through it and come straight for him. His hands were sweaty as he gripped the shotgun tightly, waiting for it to happen. Jonathan had faced a lot in the last several weeks, including incoming gunfire, but the thought of facing those teeth and claws was just too much.

He hated that he’d had to stay here alone while Shauna and Bob went on to the ranch to see if Megan was there. They had already waited for a few days to leave though, and he knew Shauna was anxious. The weather wasn’t fit to travel for a couple of days after his accident, and Bob had taken them into his home and made Jonathan as comfortable as possible. As soon as it was clear enough to ride, Shauna wanted to go, and Jonathan said he could make it too, but Bob had insisted that staying there was best. He said the trail was rough going at times and that Jonathan would only delay his healing by trying to do too much too soon. But now he’d been here alone for two full days, and his imagination was beginning to run wild as he thought about the bears, mountain lions, wolves and no telling what else that he was only separated from by the windows and wooden door of the cabin. In his mind, they were coming for him now because they could sense that he was injured, and Jonathan knew that predators preferred injured or weakened prey. He’d always fancied himself quite the outdoorsman, unafraid of anything in the south Florida swamps and marshes, but this was a whole new world to Jonathan, who would take snakes, alligators and even sharks any day over the prospect of being mauled by a big four-legged carnivore.
