Chapter 1 – Season 1

Sully took a seat on a nearby log and stared ahead, at nothing in particular; he was just thinking. It was a beautiful summer afternoon and the sun was high above the trees.

Suddenly, Sully noticed Wolf's ears perk upward, his eye had caught something. Glancing through the corner of his eyes, Sully noticed it too. He didn't move; he just remained as still as the log he was seated on.

The stillness around was calming and Sully began to relax and then…it was heard.

"Ahh!" An ear piercing scream rang through the woods.

Sully raised his head and took in a breath.

"Hey, Brian," he said.

"Aw, Sully," Brian crawled out of the bushes. "I'll never get ya."

"You almost did," Sully glanced at the boy.

"Really?" Brian's eyes lit.

Sully nodded.

"You were close," he petted Wolf.

"I think you're just saying that to make me feel better, Sully," Brian kicked at the dirt beneath his boots.

Sully giggled.

"I gotta gettin' home," the boy said. "Got chores to do."

"Better luck next time, ha Brian," Sully called.

As Brian walked back home, he began to think. What was he doing wrong? How come he could never scare Sully? He'd have to ask Matthew.

One of these days, Brian would get it. And when he did, no one would forget it. Ah yes, the day he'd scare Byron Sully. He wouldn't give up, but he wouldn't try soon; he'd have to wait for the perfect time.

There was an art to it, Brian knew. But what that was, he wasn't exactly sure.

"The art," he mumbled to himself. "The art of scaring Sully," he sighed heavily. "I'll figure it out one of these days."
