Author's Note: This is my first story so I know it may stink but no hate please! Also, if you have any suggestion, feel free to tell me!
We walked quietly. Ghost suddenly stopped. He looked like he had just seen, well, a ghost. "What's wrong Ghost?" I asked. He still didn't move. I walked up to him, but he motioned for me to stop. I saw what he was staring at. It was a huge, Grizzly bear, staring right at us. And it didn't look too happy.
"Roach," he whispered. "I think we have just found dinner." He cocked the gun, took a few seconds to aim, and fired. The bear let out a loud moan. It didn't look like it was dead. It started charging at us. "Run!" I yelled. We ran for probably a half a mile, when Ghost stopped. "Up that tree!" he yelled. I saw that there was a big tree. I climbed it, Ghost being right behind me.
When we got to the top, you could see everything. Good thing we climbed up. The bear is standing right where we were a few minutes ago. I thought it was the safest option to stay there and wait for the bear to leave. But Ghost had a brilliant, stupid plan. He leaped from the tree, landed on the bear's back, and started shooting it in the head. I got my spear and threw it at the bear. I missed by a longshot. But suddenly, the bear let out one last groan, and fell to the ground dead.
I climbed out of the tree, seeing Ghost staring at the fallen bear. "Help me move it." he said. We both couldn't pick it up, so we had to drag it. Even dragging it took most of our energy.
When we got back to "camp", we let go of the bear, and Ghost took out his knife. He cut the fur of, and blood spilt everywhere. If I wasn't in the military, I'd probably be throwing up in the stream by now. But I just closed my eyes as Ghost skinned the bear.
"We need to clean it." said Ghost. We took it to the stream, got our canteens out, (not wanting to possibly contaminate the water) and poured it on the bear's carcass.
After it was cleansed, we took it back to camp and ate it. It's probably the worst thing I've ever eaten. I didn't even mean to say it out loud but ghost said, "I don't care, this is what's going to keep us alive." This was going to be a long night.
