The wind blew into the trees and shook the branches. John led Rachel to a river and grabbed the feed off her flank, throwing the sack over his shoulder. "Okay Arthur, get on," he said. The buck got ready to spring up and he leaped, landing a little ways off. He scrambled back until he got himself situated.

Acting like a dead deer, he went limp again as John led his horse through Strawberry. Some hunters looked at the buck and commented on how big he was and how sharp his antlers were. Like a deer, he took it as a compliment. But if Arthur had his original body, that would surely be offensive! After John carried the sack of feed up to the hotel, he went back for Arthur.

Unfortunately, John couldn't bring him in because he was an animal. So he had to drop him in the bushes. Arthur stomped his hoof on the dirt.

Oh come on, this is a crime against humanity!he thought.I mean I KNOW I'm a... wild... animal but that doesn't mean I... AM one!

. . .

Unknown to the family, in the mountains, a cave rested in a cliffside. A brown Timber Wolf scrambled his way up the rocks and entered the cave. He walked down the long slope decline 'till he reached the bottom. A jet black wolf laid on a rock with his chin on his front paws.

Micah... I've completed the hunt and found us a moose to eat.

The black wolf looked up.Very good, Bill. I must have a word with our boss, now. I have a lead that he might enjoy hearing.

Micah rose to his paws and went down a little passageway, going deeper into the cave. A Grizzly Bear was chewing on a bone, getting the last scrap of meat off. He looked up at the wolf.

Micah, this better be good!Oh, trust me, Dutch. It is.Okay, whaddya got?Oh, nothing. Just Bill killing a 300-pound moose by himself and uh...

Micah cleared his throat

Arthur having survived our attack and somehow, the waterfall. He's in Strawberry. I've done some sniffing around, and my sense of smell is NEVER wrong.

As soon as the name escaped his mouth, the bear jumped up.

What!? ARTHUR'S ALIVE? How can that be!

By now, Micah was pinned to the cave wall by Dutch's massive paw. The wolf gagged.

Boss... please just... let me explain-

The bear's grip got tighter.

Dutch... I chose to follow YOU! Even after you shot me! KILLED me! I still chose to follow you in my afterlife...

Dutch released his grip a little.

You still told the Pinkertons EVERYTHING!

The Grizzly threw the wolf hard on the ground. Micah whimpered a little as he got up. Dutch growled.

Now. Where. Is. Arthur.
