When William learned that Shernette would only be around for three days, he had to act quickly.
Normally he would inform Albert and Louis of plans like this, but the time was limited now.
He spotted her outside and strangely she appeared to be talking to a deer.
Very peculiar.
He snuck nearby to overhear the one sided chat.
She talked about her life, how she was doing, calling the Stag Arthur.
"And you would not believe this: I have to share this house with a three other guys.......No, none of them are my mates! And Watson's like a brother." She said petting him. "But either than that. I'm gonna find the hunter and take care of him. Just lay low, alright?"
The Stag stared before licking her cheek and leaving.
Why did she talk to the deer like it was a human? Plus it looked like it was listening to her.
He waited another minute before revealing himself.
"I see you were conversing with an animal like it was human."
"Is that so wrong? I do have a liking for deer after all." Shernette countered.
"Not at all. I was just curious."
"People tell me I have a gift for animals. They seem to like me for a reason."
Then he heard a flapping of wings.
It was a barn owl which landed on the fence.
"Hi Victor. William, you remember me telling you I kept an owl? This is Victor." Shernette introduced her owl.
Victor looked at William as if he could see through him, judging him.
Then Victor made a shrug and settled on his owner's arm.
Shernette had to distract William, for she set up a trap for the hunter.
Meanwhile in the forest, the hunter was looking for another deer to add to his collection but had a lethal encounter with a deadly beast.
He was found the next day dead, by a snake bite.
As most of the residents were asleep, Shernette spotted the gigantic snake who slithered to her.
'It's done.' The snake hissed.
"Good. People won't question if he got bitten by an adder snake rather than a giant anaconda. Dinner is waiting in the trunk Nagi." As the snake quickly got into the trunk.

William makes contact with the Stag again next time.
