First part of bear section:

As Charlotte continued down the trail she found herself entering deeper and deeper woods.  The trees stretched above her head for what seemed like forever.  The light hid above them, leaving much to be imagined within.  Her heart started to flutter nervously in her chest, but she couldn’t turn back now.  While she couldn’t know what lay ahead, there was definite danger behind.

She walked as silently as she could.  The dirt was dry and crumbled beneath her feet.  The recent drought was slowly exhausting the shrubbery, leaving dead twigs and branches as obstacles for every step.  Her stomach growled as hunger started to consume her.  How long had she been travelling?  3 days?
