when i reach the stream, there are a few deer near by, drinking.

they obviously don't see or hear me.

i slowly lift up my bow, and put the arrow in. aim, and...

"hunter?"

again?!

i turn around to see her standing there, looks like she was crying.

"what's wrong?" i ask her.

"i was just...wondering what took you so long."

"oh. nothing. here's your water."
