no help came. I was at the edge of the woods now, and he was right behind me, the gun pointed towards my back. Any sudden movement and it was lights out .
     
    “Huh. Guess it was nothing,” he suddenly murmured. “Alright then. Back inside you go.”
     
    I began walking back towards the house, desperately hoping that he wouldn't open his mouth to command me otherwise. Anything could happen in these woods. But instead of his gravelly voice, I only heard footsteps behind me. That and a growl …
     
    “What the fuck was that?” He shouted, whipping around. “I KNOW I just heard...what the fuck?”
     
    I turned, and spotted what looked like four figures in the trees. I could barely make out their silhouettes, but there were DEFINITELY four tall, broad men, staring at us from the darkness of the treeline. In the shadows, they looked positively terrifying, and I wasn’t sure which party I’d rather have to deal with. But somehow, there was something reassuring about them…
     
    “Who the fuck are you guys?” He growled, aiming his gun between them, unable to decide on a target. “You stay the fuck back, or else I'll shoot.”
     
    “You'll shoot?” A deep, young voice replied.
     
    “I think our friend just threatened us,” came another.
     
    “Definitely sounds like it,” the first said again. “All in favor?”
     
    “Aye.
     
    “Aye!”
     
    “...Fuck it.”
     
    The silhouettes disappeared backwards into the trees, and there wasn't a sound in the air. The assailant whipped the gun back and forth, clearly on edge. I didn't dare move from my spot, several strides behind him.
     
    All of a sudden, something way back in the trees burst into a glow, and we heard the faint sound of something grinding and crunching in the distance. The glowing ended abruptly, and he turned back towards me, gun in my hand.
     
    “You stay right the fuck there!”
     
    I wasn't moving, but I froze as he bounded past me, desperate to reach the relative safety of the sliding door. It didn't even occur to me to bolt after him as I stood quaking with fear, listening to something lumbering closer and closer…
     
    BEARS! All of a sudden, two massive bears lunged from the treeline, parting around me and diving towards him. He turned just in time to see them coming, and tripped backwards as he tried to raise the gun. The bear swatted the gun aside, apparently wounding him as he shrieked with pain.
     
    How are the neighbors not hearing this? I asked myself stupidly, unable to fixate on the two large bears that were hovering over him now.
     
    “Are you hurt?” The original voice from earlier asked. I turned to face a shirtless hunk of a man, easily a foot taller than me. He was gazing down upon me with concern painted clearly across his face.
     
    “No, I'm...I'm fine, he didn't...what is going on?”
     
    “I'll explain in a moment. If you'll excuse me,” he kindly replied before turning his attention onto my assailant. With a tranquil fury that I could almost FEEL, he marched towards the house, and the sobbing man on the ground.
     
    “Oh God, oh God, I don't want to die,” he was babbling as he cradled his arm in the warm light of the motion detector. Unsure of what to do in light of all of this, I decided to follow the shirtless stranger as he approached the would-be robber.
     
    “Of course it's you,” he mentioned offhandedly, before glancing down at the man's arm. “Oh. That's gotta hurt. You're going to need to get that checked out.”
     
    “What the fuck?!” the assailant stammered, still at the mercy of the bears that were hovering over him. “Where the fuck did you—why aren't the bears--”
     
    “Leave. Now. And never come back. I'm going to keep my eye on you...and if you try to harm anyone else in this town, I will be there, and I will personally ensure that we don't stop at your arm next time...do you understand?”
     
    I was hanging back, away from the bears, but the man on the ground seemed to agree
