Neither was waiting here for them to come and find her. She didn't want to feel helpless any more. One step at a time, she went down the stairs. Halfway she paused, and ducked her head down to see if she could catch any movement in the house. Nothing, it all looked deserted, and the sounds she could hear were all muffled. Outside, rather than in the sheriff’s house. Stealing herself for the next part, she took the steps quicker, trying to keep quiet. Once at the bottom she took two quick steps and dived into his sitting room. There she lay low behind a chair, looking around to get her bearings. Cursing at the open curtains, she ducked back down.

Anyone looking in through the window would be able to see her. Her only hope was to stay hidden in the dark. If she used the furniture to shield herself from prying eyes, she might stand a chance. One last look to check there was no one there; she crawled along the floor to the fireplace. Her knees rubbed on the carpet. At this moment did she remembered how unsuitably dressed, or undressed, she was. But that was the least of her problems.

Staying behind an old chair that was pushed close to the fireplace, she reached out for a log. Her fingers missed the wood the first time. She inched further forward, managing to grasp a large log in her hand. Too short. She tried again, lifting one and then another to work out which one would be best. Eventually, she settled on a piece that was about two feet long, but not nearly as thick as she had hoped. Hefting it in her hand, she tried to work out how best to hold it; she had to be ready to swing it at any moment. Satisfied, she crept back behind the chair nearest the door.

Now she listened again. Perhaps they had moved away, given up on his house, and gone on to another. For a moment, she couldn’t hear anything. Then voices in the distance, made her fear return. Were they getting closer?

She listened, every part of her straining to pick up their movements. Again, she heard them. Two voices at least. One calling to another. Talking about her.

"I'm telling you I can smell her here."

"All I can smell is the bear."

Her plan had worked, and she was glad she had heard the bear in the forest earlier. It meant he had disguised her scent. But these two might not be so easily tricked.

"Even if she has been here, the house is locked up. No sign of anyone. Maybe he took her into town?"

"His truck is still here, idiot."

"Have you checked it?"

"Yes. I'm sure that's where the scent is strongest. But we'll wait for Wag, he'll know for sure. Can't beat a wolf for scenting our prey."

"Wag." He laughed. "I guess that's the only use that old wolf has."

"That and ripping the throat out of a bear."

"A long time ago.
