(lets just rewind back to where Billy was sitting there poking the fire with the stick)

Elizabeth just sits and plays happily With the baby, laughing softly.

  Billy prodded at the fire with his sharpened stick. "it's gettin' kinda late. Suppose I should go hunt somethin' for supper." He got to his feet and brushed off his pants. "Won't be too long. There's plenty of-" he trailed off in cautious surprise as he caught sight of the wolf standing before them, a hare in its mouth as it stared at them wide-eyed. Billy slowly reached for his side pistol and drew it, drawing back the hammer and not uttering a sound

Elizabeth follows his gaze, and stiffens, clutching the baby tight. She slowly stands and gets behind Billy, covering the baby's ears.

Felix felt a stiff growl form in his throat as he watched the male human reach for a fat stick wedged in his back hole. Felix flattened his ears as the human drew the stick back, and a small click echoed eerily from it. A hole was formed in the stick--pointing right at him.

Felix understood that these sticks were dangerous. In one click, a strange circle object would fly out of the hole and pierce into the victim, killing them. Or if the prey was lucky enough, the object would not kill them, but injure them.

If I attack them, he'll shoot the stick. But if I play scared, maybe I'll be able to get away, Felix murmured to himself as he slowly planned out his thoughts.

Letting out a soft whimper, Felix gingerly lowered himself to the ground, tucking his tail underneath his body. A small whine escaped his throat as he inched back.   

[Jackkdaw]

Billy adjusted the pistol, slowly raising it so the barrel was aimed at ths wolf's side, to where if he fired it would pierce the heart unless the canine moved at the last second. He raised an eyebrow, eyeing the wolf as it suddenly turned submissive. "Go on, git!" He shouted, kicking a log out of the fire pit so that it suddenly rolled towards the canine. Just for extra measure, Billy raised the pistol, pointing it skyward, and squeezed the trigger firing it off with a sharp bang, knowing the fire and the loud sound should no doubt scare off any animal.

The baby starts to cry, and Elizabeth becomes distracted, trying to quiet the baby, to keep from attracting more wild animals. She peeks around his shoulder to look at the wolf

[OreoHeroz]

Felix let out a yelp of surprise as the human fired the stick into the air. He gratefully fled, terrified, but let out another yelp of surprise as he stumbled over the burning log and tripped to the ground. Whimpering, he scrambled to his paws, but snarled as he collapsed to the ground. He quickly snapped his head back to see that his paw was sprawled out. Heaving himself up, he winched as he tested his paw to the ground.

He limped forward, knowing that if he lingered any longer, the stick would trigger again and fire again.

[Jackkdaw]

Billy stood tall, glaring after the wolf as it slunk off into the darkness. Once it had clumsily scrambled out of sight, he lowered his arm and slipped the pistol back into its holster on his right hip. "Y'alright?" He asked, turning halfway to glance at Elizabeth.

[OreoHeroz]

Snarling with disgust, Felix trudged into the safety of the forest, his eyes flashing with contempt at the sight of the two humans.

After the humans were out of sight, he lowered his rabbit to the ground and leaned back on his haunches. Growling, he raised his paw up to give it a tense lick, and jerked his paw away as the pain jabbed at it. Sighing, he began to slowly lick at it, consuming the dirt and ashes from his pad.

Once he had finished, he gently tested his paw and placed it on the ground. His face screwed up in pain as he snatched up the rabbit in his jaws and limped forward, ignoring the stabs of pain that shot up through it.

He sighted a lake near the shore of the forest and hurried up to it, dropping his rabbit again, and waddled into the lake. The cold water soon began to numb the paw, and the pain soon faded away.

His paw now numb, Felix scrambled onto the shore and lay beside it, panting. He twisted his neck around and dragged the limp body closer to him, and gave small, quick nibbles. He wasn't feeling very hungry tonight, but he knew that it was best to gather up all his energy for the night.

When the stringy meat of the rabbit was gone, he quickly scrapped dirt over the leftovers and gave a luxurious stretch, before lying back down beside the lake and resting his head between his paws. His ear twitched at the sound of the water gently lapping at the shore, but it soon lured him to sleep as he closed his eyes.
