To Kill a Bear - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Grabbing Debby's head in his two hands, he turned her so she could see the opening and he motioned for her to go in. she looked first at David and then at the new hiding place. Knowing what he was going to do, she shook her head and wrapping her arms around his waist she mouthed the word no over and over. Never before in his life, had he been rough with Debby. And after today it would never happen again, but right now he had no time to argue. Roughly pulling her arms from around his waist, holding her by her arms, he thrust her from him, then wagging his finger in front of her eyes much the same way she did when reprimanding Wolf, then pointing to the new hiding place, he mouthed the word, go! The frown he wore on his face was all the emphasis he needed to get her to move. She turned and scurried between the two rocks. His first intention had been to make a break for the sled and his rifle, but now looking everything over he could see he was trapped. The only way out, was the way they came in and the bear was in the way. Wolf was giving the bear a bad time and David knew it was only a matter of time before one of those giant paws put an end to the dog. He turned around to see if Debby was safe and when he did the flare gun bumped a rock. The noise it made attracted the attention of the bear and he seeing David, took a swipe at him with a huge paw. He couldn't reach him but the momentum of that swing carried him into the smaller of those two rocks behind which David was trying to hide. This was one mad bear now and having been pestered by Wolf for so long; he wanted to vent his anger somewhere and here was a candidate he could almost reach. David took the cord to the flare gun from around his neck and backing up against the rock that hid Debby he cocked it and holding it in his hand, waited for the inevitable.
