“So what do you guys think?” Hunter asked his friends as they paced around the deck, trying to discover more than he’d been able to in the short time he’d had last night.

He could still remember it like it was still happening.

Frankly, he was just glad Kelly was safe.

“It’s kind of like bear. Yet not, at the same time,” Grayson said, standing at the edge of the deck and taking in the fresh morning air. Even in the wake of what had happened, the forest was beautiful, seemingly undisturbed at all by the previous night.

“It’s hard to tell. It doesn’t remind me of any of the bears I became acquainted with back west. But at the same time, I spend most of my time in human form these days, so I’m not exactly sure what it could be.” Garrett picked up a broken piece of glass and ran it between his fingers gingerly, sniffing at it for a moment.

Hunter supposed if some random stranger saw three grown men sniffing around for something like bloodhounds, it would be a very odd sight indeed.

“If it’s a bear, it’s not like any I’ve smelled before,” Grayson asserted, turning around and folding his arms. “Probably something else.”

“So you’re an expert on bears now?” Garrett questioned.

“No, I’m not. Therein lies the problem,” Grayson replied unhelpfully.

While they kept talking, Hunter found some distressed bushes a few feet from the house and followed his intuition. On the ground, a large area of foliage had been moved aside, the dirt kicked around by something that had apparently left in a hurry. As he continued to survey, Garrett and Grayson joined him.

“Whatever it was, it’s something big, for sure.” Garrett knelt and took a closer look.

“Probably a shifter, then,” Hunter muttered, trying to follow any signs that could lead to their culprit.

“But then why did it try to get in the cabin? And why did it just leave afterward?” Hunter asked, more to himself than anything.

A few more broken sticks here and there and a disrupted log lay ahead. Then suddenly, the tracks broke off and disappeared into nothingness. No footprints. No evidence of any large creature only fifty or so feet away from the house.

If the creature had shifted, it was now long gone.

“Don’t worry, Hunter.” Garrett clapped his hand on his friend’s back. “You can stay with me until we figure it out. We’ll put up cameras, keep an eye on the place in case whatever it is comes around again.”

“I’ll get the equipment from my truck,” Grayson said, the first helpful thing he’d offered to do all day.

“Thanks, boss. I really appreciate it.”

“You know I hate it when you call me that.” Garrett grinned, flashing white teeth behind his especially overgrown beard. Domesticated Garrett was still the same old lovable bear. “How about you and me get that roof redone while Grayson works? We both know he’s better with that stuff anyway.”

Grayson was already back from this truck, several boxes in hand and his tool belt slung over his shoulder.
