Beasts of the American West

The house is just outside the Tobacco Root mountains. There is a small garden full of corn stalks, golden wheat and other vegtables and there is a barn with a horse pasture. There is a woman pulling weeds out of the tomato patch when Buff collapses extremly close to the garden. The woman notices the young buffalo laying unconsious in the field. "Oh, my lord." she says as she stops pulling weeds and tends to the wounded bison.

(sorry it took me so long. I was finishing Ace Combat 5.)
Although animals were not suposed to talk to humans (they had the ability to but chose not to. Not even when they were attached to the person) Buff decided he didn't care. He had many questions about humans.
He said, "Thanks for helping me. Do you have a family here?"
The woman got a shocked lok on her face as if she had never seen a talking animal before. (Duh!

)

"Oh my god!" she says, the woman turns white and her eyes nearly bug out of her head.

Buff said, "Calm down. I mean you no harm. I was attached by a cougar and a wolf. They killed my brother."
Tears were starting to gather in his eyes.
He continued, "I will get them if it is the last thing I ever do. If I die, they will die with me. He was the only true family I had left. No, all I have is my friend, Myles. He is the moose out side. So, are you the only human here?"

"No, I live with me husband, Semias (shay-mus) and baby daughter, Abaigeal (AB-i-gel). She is the first of our family to be born in America. I'm Ailis (AY-lish)." she replies.

(Ailis and Semias are Irish immigrants.)

Buff replied, "Thank you for your kindness. If there is any way I can repay you when I get beter, just let me know. By the way, can Myles stay in here tonight? He is injured too but it is not bad. I just worry that those killers will come back. By the way, Myles can talk to people too if he wants. We all can."

"Alright then. SEMIAS!"

"What?" the Irishman replies as he steps out the frot door with a beer mug in his hand."

"There are some injured animals that came down from the mountain. There's a wolf and mountain lion chasing after them, can you stay up and watch them over the night?"

"Just let me finish me ale and get me shotgun." he says he goes back inside.

"You two can sleep in the barn until the little one recovers. Semias will watch over you for the night to make sure those nasty creatures don't bother you lads." Ailis says as Semius comes out with a 12-gauge, break-action shotgun.

Buff said, "My herd dosen't like me. They always hated me because I was a bit of a risk taker. The only thing keeping me from getting banished was Rhen. With him gone, they will banish me for sure. My name is Buff, by the way. Is there any way I can repay you for helping me?

"Oh, you don't need to do anything." he replies.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #49 on:** March 05, 2006, 11:01:32 PM

The buffalo replied, "I owe you my life though and would just like to repay you."

Cyberlizard · **Reply #50 on:** March 05, 2006, 11:07:49 PM

"Well, I don't know how you can repay me." Semias replies.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #51 on:** March 05, 2006, 11:09:39 PM

Buff said, "Well, if you think of anything, just let me know. If you ever need help round the farm, I'll see what I can do. Well, good night. I should probably get some rest."

Semias loads his double barreled shotgun with fresh shells, pulls up a milking stool and sits outside the barn door.

Colgar, now with only one eye, said, "I'm going to go after those two tomorrow. I need some rest and time to recover."
Just then, thunder rumbled in the distance.

Back in the barn, Myles said, "Sounds like rain. If it rains, it will wash away our scent and those monsters won't be able to sniff us out."
Buff shouted to Semias, "Do you want to come in here? It is going to rain."

Cyberlizard · **Reply #54 on:** March 05, 2006, 11:24:16 PM

"Oh, maybe. Me don't want to catch a cold." He says as he comes inside and sits up in the hayloft with his shotgun at the ready.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #55 on:** March 05, 2006, 11:27:43 PM

Just in time too. It started pouring outside with lightning and thunder.

Colgar said, "Greycliff, I couldn't sniff them out. The scent was washed away. Somehow, I think that buffalo is still alive. I would have found a body if he had died."

Cyberlizard · **Reply #56 on:** March 05, 2006, 11:38:26 PM

"This sucks!" says Greycliff as he licks the wound on his side.

THere is a mistake in here. It is supposed to be

Colgar said, "Well, we still have plenty of meat on that other buffalo. At least a weeks worth. Why are you so determined to kill him anyway? That moose killed my mate. What did the buffalo do to piss you off so much?"

"The herd killed off my pack. They chased all of us off a cliff and I was the only one who survived." He says.

Colgar replied, "Well, you are in luck. While I was out, there was a smart ass wolf pack leader who got on my bad side. I killed him. His pack said he was such a jerk that they would even allow someone like me to be their leader. I tld them about you. Perhaps, you can be their new leader."
