Blanc was lost. That was bad. He was also possibly near the breeding grounds of a pack of bears - that was worse. Of course, seeing as he didn't have much knowledge of bears, not only did he not realize that the prints on the ground the wrong shape for a bear, he also did not find anything strange about bears travelling in packs.
As Blanc climbed deeper into the mountain, he had found more and more tracks. Eventually, he was beginning to realize that a few things were off. First, the tracks were all leading in the same direction, and secondly, there were small signs of humans being were he passed recently. Were they out hunting, or . . . running? Blanc sincerely hoped it was the former.
Since his treasured spot in the mountain was a bit unorthodox to get to, Blanc was used to going off the path, despite several warnings not to do so; in fact, he even enjoyed his little rebellious streak. Right now, however, he was beginning to doubt whether or not he should follow through on that - those were a lot of 'bear' tracks.
The sound of a wolfs howl entered his ears, and he turned to the direction it came from. He creased his brows as his thoughts flashed back on the human tracks he had seen. It was looking more and more likely that they were hunters tracks then. If so, that presented a bit of a problem. Right now, it wasn't hunting season, and though he wasn't aware if Colorado had any laws pertaining the hunting of bears or wolves, he was pretty sure that if it wasn't hunting season, then that was it. No hunting.'
Pursing his lips, Blanc followed the few human tracks he could, going deeper into the mountains.
