Hunting trip ♥ 4 ♥

You wake up. Sun shining through the tent right onto your face. You squint at the bright sun. You stretch and grab you clothes. Dark red shirt and black jeans. Then put on your boots and walk out the tent. You walk over to Etain and give him an apple. You brush him and spend few more minutes with him so he could trust you more. "Y/N, stop lazing around and go help Karen and Mary-Beth!" You jump when you hear miss Grimshaw yelling.
You walk over to the girls and help them with sewing the clothes. You hear someone approaching and then feel a hand on your shoulder. You turn around and see Charles. "Hey, Y/N, would you like to go hunting with me for some bison?" "Is Grimshaw willing to spare me?" You say giggling. "I'm sure she won't mind." He says and smiles. "Meet me at the horse in few minutes." "Sure" you say as he walks away and you continue sewing a shirt. When you finished you walked over to your tent and grabbed your knife and rifle.

When you walk over to horse Charles was already there. "Are you ready to go?" He asks. "Yup!" You say smiling that you will finally do something else other that wash, sew clothes or cut vegetables. "Come on then." He says mounting Taima. You mount your horse as well and you both start walking out the camp. "Where are you guys going?" You hear a voice behind you. You could tell it was Javier. "We are going hunting." Charles replies before you could. "See you later Javier." You say and disappear from the camp. You both ride for a while. "How's your leg?" Charles breaks the silence. "Oh.. it's just fine. I actually forgot about it." You laugh both laugh and continue riding. "You know.. it was before my time of course but, my mother used to tell me stories of how her tribe used to move with the bison. They lived almost as one. Where the bison went my people went. They were the center of all life... we couldn't survive without them. They provided us with everything...food, clothing, shelter, tools. There was a lot of respect." Charles told you about his people and bison. "Wow... that's awesome. I don't remember much of my childhood but my people... we pretty much moved with whiskey, beer. My dad got drunk one night and left us... after few days we found his dead body by a lake. My brother... he killed himself while drunk..." you sigh. "Oh.. I'm so sorry about that." Charles apologised. "Oh no, it's fine. It was a long time ago." You smiled.
You ride a little more and spot a herd of bison. Charles stops and so do you.

"Over there. You see them all? Incredible... aren't they? We should only kill one of them. I'll keep em' ringed in and you see if you can bring one down. Okay? As clean as you can" Charles says quietly. "Okay" you respond and you guys move forward. You grab your rifle as Charles surrounds the bison and you aim at one. You take a deep breath and pull the trigger. Beast drops to the ground in no second. "Well done. Skin and butcher it, take the horns too. It can all be used." You skin the bison, take whatever you can. Charles stows the pelt and horns on your horse and meat on his horse. You both mount your horses. "I wanna go check something out." Charles says and u nod in response. "Where are we going?" You question. "I though I saw some scavenger birds over here. Just wanted to see what attracted them." Both of you ride to the spot where Charles spotted scavenger birds and you see something..."oh no... look. Bison... Shot and killed for dead, it looks like." You say with annoyance and see the expression on Charles' face... He looked mad. "Why would someone do that?" You say again. "I don't know, but I see tracks heading in this direction. I say we follow them." Charles says with anger in his voice. "Alright. Lead the way." You reply and you guys follow the tracks. You ride for a bit and you try to ease up the tension in the air. "Could it have been an animal?" "No, they've been shot. I just don't know why anybody would just leave them there to rot like that." Charles replied... You could tell he was sad for the bison and mad that people do this. You ride a bit further and spot another dead bison. "Look. Another dead bison. On that hill on the right. Come on." You ride up to the bison. "Shot and left for dead again, but this one looks fresher." Charles says and looks at the bison. "There's a camp over there. I'm going to take a look." You say after spotting an abandoned camp close to where the bison was. You dismount Etain and walk over to the camp. You inspect the campfire, logs were till pretty hot. You mount up your horse and say. "Logs haven't gone cold yet. Maybe half a day since they left." Charles replies with.. "Bison's been dead for about the same amount of time." "So what do you wanna do?" You ask him. "They could still be in the area... Let's get up higher, see if we can spot anything." Charles says and rides to the top of the mountain, you riding close behind him. "Okay. You see anything?" Charles asks you. "I think I see some smoke up the north. Could be another camp. Let's go check it out." You say and start riding where the smoke is coming from, Charles right beside you. "Bastards. Just killing for fun." Charles says, you can tell he's really mad now. "You think we can talk?" You say and Charles replies. "I don't kill for fun. I kill when I need to." You decided to keep your mouth shut so you won't make him even more angry. You hear Charles say with a harsh tone. "Look! More dead bison. It has to be them. Come on!" Charles starts cantering to the camp you saw from the mountain. "Wait up!" You yell and start to gallop. When you get to the camp
