Snippet #1586407

Jackie woke up to the sound of footsteps. She stretched slightly and looked down from the tree she was perched in. The night before, it had been too late and dark for her to make it back to a village. The sight of a man followed by three others made her stiffen. Hopefully, they wouldn't bother her because it would be hard to get away from four people at the same time, even if none of them could climb trees. She continued to silently watch as the man- who must be the leader or something- talked about showing them a technique for hunting. He must be a teacher and they must be students. This came as a flash of insight, but it made everything else they were saying make so much more sense.

She decided to follow them in order to see his so called "technique." Maybe it could help her in the future. Jackie sucked in her breath at the sight of the giant brown bear that loomed in front of the man. Watching him manage to block an attack and then kill it with a single shot took Jackie's breath away. His warning about not using it on humans didn't faze her. Jackie knew that this was the man she wanted to learn from. "Do you think you could teach me more stuff like that?" She slid down the tree and approached the group slowly.
