From the cover of the juniper trees Duvall watched the wranglers move a steady string of cattle in and out of the corral. If he wanted to get closer he could, but for now, he’d bide his time. In front of him, twin boulders provided the perfect cover. They were tightly wedged, but there was enough room to still slip his rifle barrel between them, make his shot, and leave unnoticed. He would have to walk a ways. To avoid the chance of someone stumbling upon him, he’d left his horse far outside the canyon. His eyes traveled to the woman. She’d ignored her husband when they rode into camp. Maybe she wouldn’t even miss him. No harm would come to her. He had his orders and those were to kill Masters. The side of his lips turned up. He’d take great …show more content…
He needed one clear shot. His rifle barrel edged between the boulders and slid into the open. So close, he could almost touch Masters’ woman. The rancher wouldn’t live to see another day. Shouts and whistles sent the cattle into the corral. She kneed her horse within a few yards of the commotion and dismounted. A frightened calf bolted and slid headfirst down the muddy sides of the creek. Masters scrambled into action, letting his lasso fly around the startled animal’s neck. While the gelding kept the rope taut, he pushed and pulled the bawling calf up the damp bank. Set free, the animal kicked its legs high in the air and ran through a patch of low-growing shrubs. Under the shrub, a snake with diamond-shaped markings, and a black and white tail, uncoiled its length, and slithered from side to …show more content…
Blasts echoed, rumbling throughout the canyon. The head of the snake lurched as the violent force plunged it over the rocks and into the creek. Masters swayed and crumpled to the ground. The woman screamed. With a grin, Duvall withdrew his rifle, a thin wisp of smoke following the barrel. # The wranglers stopped everything they were doing and rushed to the collapsed man. “Jake, you’re hurt.” Kat sobbed, kneeling beside him. Blood seeped from his shoulder, saturating his plaid shirt as he made a futile effort to stand. “Get the hell away from me.” She flinched. “I don’t understand, the rattlesnake—it coiled—I know I shot the snake. It must have ricocheted. I swear I didn’t mean to shoot you, please believe me.” Dallas dropped on one knee next to them. “We’ll hash it out later. He needs a doctor. Let’s get him to the chuck wagon.” She shook her head in denial, her eyes pooling with tears. Dallas shook her wrist. “Come on now, I need you.” He pulled off his bandana. Jake squinted and reached a hand to Dallas, grabbing his shirt. “Keep her away from me—or I swear—you’re finished.” Dallas didn’t respond, instead he stuffed the bandana over the bullet wound and heaved Jake to his feet, keeping a tight arm under his good
"I told you what I'd do if I ever get loose!" She spat. Pulling the knife out, she reaches between his legs.

with sheer rage and eagerness as he circled back and forth for a chance to spring in. Buck was no
“So did I help?” Logan pulled Veronica close by her waist, clasping his hands around her
The dry leaves crumbled underneath his light footsteps as he seemingly glided forward, stopping under a low blackberry bush just metres away from his prey. He carefully pulled his bowstring back, taking precisive aim and blocking out everything else around him. His family depended on it.
He saddled the horses and glanced at Kat. He’d tried to figure her out. A woman that easy on the eyes didn’t just take off from family, but he’d made a mistake thinking he’d see her home. Hell, he couldn’t even get her to tell him where home was. She made her deal,
“Whoa. I did nothing,” I said, trying to hide the panic from my voice. “Just let me go. Please,” I said.
“You are out of your mind!” “Why do you kidnap me?” She gabbled and made a fist.
“All medical personnel, grab a hand ventilator and find the nearest patient that needs help!” screamed the attending on the floor. But as Brayden applied pressure to the wound, she froze in fear about what was to come.
"You okay, Raph?" He muttered lightly as he picked his hands up, wiping away the blood with a cloth.
They had a feeder 50 yards out filled with corn and seeds. Then Jim finally stopped talking to not scare the deer off. Edward was bored as always and look at what his father was wearing. He saw that besides his dad’s own rifle he had a 45. caliber revolver. Edward broke the silence.
She bounded to the carcass, running faster and farther than she had ever gone before. She remembered the way her mother had carried her, and soon she found the deer, lying on the ground mostly eaten. Paw looked around, and saw a blackberry bush nearby.
“Here, I’ve got a rag,” Gladio said, pulling one from his pocket. “It’s not much, but it’ll help stop the bleeding.”
"Get up you little b****!" he ordered, grabbing the collar of my shirt, flinging me against the shower wall.
