He didn't know what was going on until he saw it. A huge bear was looking aggressively at them. Jack felt her hand grabbing him while saying even in a slower voice than before "See that tree? Move slowly to your right and then climb it fast." The boar was growling and showing them its fangs. Jack run the fastest as he could to the tree that Kate has pointed out, and she followed him./span/p

The white bear was running behind them fast, almost reaching their legs. Jack was in a safe branch when he grabbed her hand and helped her. The growlings were louder and he heard a noisy shout of pain, from Kate. It had bitten her and stuck a claw on her left leg. She kicked it firmly. She took her gun out with her free hand and shot it a few times until it fall noisily to the ground./span/p

Of course, it had been his fault, she would have climbed faster but she left him first knowing he was slower. Kate didn't seem to understand at first, but then she got what he meant. The girl didn't say anything, but she grabbed his hand and thanked him for taking care of her wound./span/p

Sometimes she still wondered if it was a mistake or not. She had a real desire for him, and judging by the way he kissed her back, it was crystal clear he wanted her to. However, she had run away. Why? She was invaded by an overwhelmed sensation of fear. Fear of loving, or suffering maybe. Or everything, probably. Fear of being rejected and ending her friendship with Jack? Did she run away cause she didn't want to wait there till he politely rejected her? -as it was obvious to her, he was gonna do that. Why would he be interested in a woman like her?- Or was she a coward? Maybe she'd suffered enough in her past. Still not sure, but something was clear, she was an overthinker, and this topic had been in her head every minute in the last weeks./span/p

He didn't know what was going on until he saw it. A huge bear was looking aggressively at them. Jack felt her hand grabbing him while saying even in a slower voice than before "See that tree? Move slowly to your right and then climb it fast." The boar was growling and showing them its fangs. Jack run the fastest as he could to the tree that Kate has pointed out, and she followed him./span/p

The white bear was running behind them fast, almost reaching their legs. Jack was in a safe branch when he grabbed her hand and helped her. The growlings were louder and he heard a noisy shout of pain, from Kate. It had bitten her and stuck a claw on her left leg. She kicked it firmly. She took her gun out with her free hand and shot it a few times until it fall noisily to the ground./span/p

Of course, it had been his fault, she would have climbed faster but she left him first knowing he was slower. Kate didn't seem to understand at first, but then she got what he meant. The girl didn't say anything, but she grabbed his hand and thanked him for taking care of her wound./span/p

Sometimes she still wondered if it was a mistake or not. She had a real desire for him, and judging by the way he kissed her back, it was crystal clear he wanted her to. However, she had run away. Why? She was invaded by an overwhelmed sensation of fear. Fear of loving, or suffering maybe. Or everything, probably. Fear of being rejected and ending her friendship with Jack? Did she run away cause she didn't want to wait there till he politely rejected her? -as it was obvious to her, he was gonna do that. Why would he be interested in a woman like her?- Or was she a coward? Maybe she'd suffered enough in her past. Still not sure, but something was clear, she was an overthinker, and this topic had been in her head every minute in the last weeks./span/p
