part 4

    They rode for awhile before Amber turned her horse back towards the wagons.
    "What are you doing?" Asked Chris.
    "I'm not going to leave them, we will stay out of site that's all," she moved Monty in to a walk, "but we're going to have to hurry if we're going to catch up with the wagons." They rode in silence for about an hour before Andy spoke.
    "Look! There they are,"
    "Let's move into the bushes," Amber said softly, they dismounted and moved into the bushes aways before Amber halted them, "this will be good to start a fire here, they won't see the smoke as easy, and if they do well we will deal with it then." She tied Monty to a tree and went to look for some sticks to start the fire, suddenly she heard a scream.
    "Panther!" The voice screamed, "Panther! Run for your lives!" Before Amber new what she was doing she took off towards the camp the only thought on her mind was getting rid of the panether. As she came into the clearing of the wagons, she seen the people running around like a herd of lost sheep, knocking things over and running into eachother. Off to the side she noticed Andy, Chris and, James trying to get the people under control while trying to find the panther, Amber picked up a shotgun that lay on the ground beside her, she fired it twice into the air. The people stopped in their tracks and stared at her.
    "Who seen the panther?" She asked, "I need to know." Someone push a young girl forward from the group. Amber reconized her from first day of the trip, it was Mandy, she looked scared. " Mandy, where did you see the panther?" she asked camly.
    "Near the river, I was getting water when I heard something move in the bush and it jumped right out at me."
    "Do you know if it followed you?"
    "No, I don't. I was running so fast I didn't notice if it did or not." Amber nodded.
    "Ok, I'm going to go check it out, no one leave the camp!" She turned to leave but a voice stopped her.
    "Wait!" It was Jacob, "how did you get here? didn't I fire you?"
    "Yes, you did but we followed you, and aren't you glad we did? Because if we haden't one of you would be panther food right now!" Jacob seemed at a loss for words, he stared at her a few moments before he spoke,
    "I don't suppose you would want to be rehired would you?" Amber grinned,
    "I will think about it." She turned back towards the river, "Chris, James look around the left and right sides of the wagons, Andy go check the back. Be careful."
    "Will do," they all answered and the same time. Amber started to walk down to the river, when she reached the spot where Mandy had seen the panther, she couldn't even see any sign that the panther had been there. She frowned in confusion, normaly they would leave large paw prints, suddenly Amber noticed something. Small foot prints and large ones, she new the small ones would have been Mandy, but the large ones looked like they were made by a man, a very large man. She seen where Mandy had walked to the river to get water then, she seen that the "panther" had lunged out of the bush at her. Mandy had then taken off, the animal only turned around and walked back into the bush.
    "Strange thing," she thought aloud, "that we never heard it scream, and Mandy never said anything about it screaming." Amber followed the tracks into the bush, it wasn't long before she noticed the pelt of a panther laying on the ground. She bent over and ran her hand along the fur, someone had put this on to put a scare into the people, they were still trying to keep the away from the land. But who had done this? She new she would just have to find out.

(part five is coming soon!)
