Wild Bobcat Approaches A Woman, and She Decides to Follow(1)
She quickened her pace, the bobcat guiding her down a small slope. The uneven ground threatened to trip her; she caught herself on a low branch.
How far had they gone? Minutes felt like hours. The farther she walked, the more she doubted she could retrace her steps.
Fear prickled at the edges of her mind. If something happened, no one knew where she was. She hadn’t told anyone about this hike.
She pushed the thought aside. Focus. One step at a time.
The bobcat stopped suddenly. Its ears twitched, nose lifting. Without hesitation, it leapt forward, disappearing into thick brush.
Claire hesitated, breath catching. Was this it? Had she followed for nothing?
