-Epilogue-
The sun shone through the trees casting beams of light down onto the forest floor. A young woman jogged, hand on the Colt Python at her hip. From behind, the sound of twigs breaking confirmed she was being followed. A loud growl echoed throughout the trees just as a mountain lion leapt towards her.
She screamed and threw up an arm to shield her face as she fell to the ground. She waited quietly for death to come but when it didn't she dropped her arm. The shadow of a figure stood above her, crossbow aimed at her head.
"Who the hell are you?" The man's voice rumbled.
She sat up and pushed the bow out of her face. "I'm Judith and I don't take kindly to having crossbows pointed in my face." She shot.
The man remained silent as he watched her. Judith pushed to her feet and wiped at her pants. When she looked up, she was taken aback by the man's beautiful face. His hair was a light shade of brown but it was his bright blue eyes that almost seemed familiar.
"Who are you?" She asked, suddenly aware of how nervous she was.
"Ain't none of your business who I am." He told her before turning to walk away.
"Hey." He stopped until Judith stood at his side. "You don't have to be such a dumb redneck."
He laughed. "You going anywhere in particular?" He asked her once he stopped. When Judith shook her head confused, he nodded, "Well come on then, my mom would kill me if I didn't offer such a lady a meal." Judith's eyes narrowed. "What?" He asked her gruffly.
"Nothing, food would be wonderful is all." The man looked slightly relieved as he started walking ahead.
They walked in silence before he stopped and turned to her. "My name's Bo." He offered his hand which Judith took. "Bo Dixon."
Judith smiled.
