Sounds of a Gun

Bars and Justin woke up and heard the sound.

"Oh my gosh! Can't we have a quiet lazy day, for once!" Bars screamed.

"Hey. If you want to keep quiet, shut up." Justin whispered.

"We have to see where the sound is coming from." I whispered.

We all went to the door and we saw a girl hunter it was a girl she had blonde hair and white skin. She looked beautiful. But she held a shotgun as big as a couch cushion.

"You!" Justin screamed.

"Me?" Said the lady.

"Yes! What are you shooting?" Justin asked.

We all stepped out of the treehouse and waited for her to answer.

"Anything I can find." She answered.

Before Justin could say anything else we heard a slight rustle coming from the bushes.

"Looks like the size of a bear." The girl said a little scared.

Out stepped the baby cub that Tory made. The girl hunter looked scared.

Boom!

"Ow!" I cried.

Justin ran over to me.

"You all right?" He asked.

I nodded. But I wasn't sure if I was all right. I could only here from my left ear. I didn't want to tell Justin about it though.

I forgot about it and looked around I saw Bars on the floor crying.

"Are you doing okay?" I asked.

He didn't answer he just pointed to something. I saw that the baby cub was lying on the floor, dead. I looked at the girl who was looking pretty proud.

Then she looked at us.

"What?" She asked.

"What do you mean, what? You killed a baby cub." Bars said.

"He was deadly. You guys should be thanking me for this." She blurted out.

No one said anything. But then Tory came out of the bushes and saw her baby on the ground then looked at the girl. She looked terrified.

She aimed her shotgun at Tory and shot it. She missed and Tory smacked the gun away from her and tackled her.

"Get off of me!" She yelled.

I grabbed her gun and shot Tory's back. Tory fell to the ground.

"Why did you do that?" Justin asked. "That was getting interesting."

"Because." I answered.

"Thank you." She huffed

She gave me a super tight hug, the hug was so tight I dropped the gun.

"Get away from her!" Justin demanded.

She let go and grabbed the shotgun. She stared at Justin and Justin stared back.

"So, what your name?" Bars finally asked.

"My name is Sam." She answered.

"Hmm." Justin muttered.

"You're really picky about names, aren't you?" I whispered to him.

"Yes, I am." He whispered back.

"So, what are you guys doing out here in the woods at this time of year?" Sam asked.

"Why do you care?" Justin asked Sam.

"I asked you a question first!" Sam said getting mad.

"I didn't want to answer your question." Justin said almost about to yell at her.

"How about I ask a question for once!" I shouted.

They looked at me waiting for me to say something.

"How old are you?" I asked getting annoyed.

"16 years old. How about you?" Sam answered.

"The same." I answered.

"Cool." She said.

"Justin, can I talk to you in the treehouse for a second?" I asked.

Justin nodded and we went in the treehouse. When we got in there we sat on our beds.

"Remember when Sam shot at the baby cub. Then you asked me if I was all right?" I asked.

"Yes." Justin answered.

"Well, I actually wasn't okay. I can't hear out of my left ear, now." I continued.

Justin got up and looked at my ear.

"Are you okay now?" He asked.

"Kinda." I answered.

"What do you mean, kinda?" Justin asked.

"I don't really know. On one hand I seem to feel hurt. But on the other hand I really don't care about it." I say.

"Huh. I don't really know what to do now." Justin says.

I look down and then we hear Bars shouting.

"You used a gun to kill a baby bear!" Bars screamed.

Bars screams echoed in my right ear. I tried to call Justin but he was out the door. I came with Justin.

"I was scared, so shut up and deal with it!" Sam shouted back.

Sam looked so mad her cheeks were as red as molten lava.

"You do not want to get me mad!" Sam trying to calm herself down.

"What if we do?" Bars asked.

"I... I... I will..." Sam stuttered.

"That's what I thought." Bars said.

Bars was walking off to the treehouse. The only thing staring at Sam was Justin and his eyes were wide. I looked where he was looking and I saw it.

Sam was picking up her gun.

"Bars look out!" I shouted.

But it was too late.

Boom!
