She glanced down to the pistol pressed between them against his heart. She snatched it away as he grinned at her ruefully. "Hi, baby," he said. "You're in quite a situation here."
"What were you going to do with him, Allender?" he asked, nodding toward the unconscious Parker.
"I was going to put an arrow between those other two, right in the center," she said.
"I can't let you do that," he told her.
"What are we going to do?" she asked.
"You two are going to start for home," Thomas said. "I'll clean up the trash. I'll be by in a couple of weeks. Will you both be there?"
Allender looked hopefully at Brian. He nodded.
"Come to Conconully," Allender said. "I think we need to get away from everything for a while."
Thomas nodded and watched his daughter and son-in-law disappear into the trees, one arm around each other and the sound of their low voices mingling and fading. He smiled. It was all going to work out.
They had gone perhaps a mile when they heard two shots. They looked at each other. Brian raised one eyebrow and Allender sighed. They headed down the trail.

I am an animal lover, I don't mind violence to awful human beings, the 'Raine' character deserved everything he got. But what had the beautiful Elk done to deserve it's demise? , nothing she killed it for pleasure, she was no better the Raine and deserved the same ending.
2/8/24 To the anonymous of 24 days ago. You need to take remedial reading class,because you totally did not understand what happened. He raped her. Plain and simple. Just because her body betrayed her, and responded eventually, doesn't mean that she was consenting. And as shoprat pointed out in his comment, he had a responsibility to keep her safe. So by raping her she had every right to do what she said she would do if he ever contacted her. That she would kill him. End of story.
The story was excellent, and the violence was justified IMO. He had a duty to behave himself because she was dependent on him for her survival in that situation. He's in the role of an instructor in a high risk activity; it's an absolute no-no to take advantage of clients or students especially in a life or death situation. She was dependent on him for his skill and knowledge of the area to get out alive. The only way his behavior could have been any worse is if she had been underage. As it was, it was plenty horrible and he is certainly a rapist. Beyond that, he was an idiot. She told him exactly what she would do if he ever appeared in her life again, and he went right on and did it anyway regardless of the damage it might do to her. He completely deserved what he got.
Not sure why murder was warranted. It was definitely a gray area when it came to consent as she was in hypothermia and vulnerable. But she wrnt back to that well multiple times that night. And she reveled in the sex. I get rhat she had to tell Brian. And they needed time apart. And when Raines thought they were breaking up, he sought her out and his intentions were not selfish and nasty. But there is no clear evidence or intent rhat he was going to rape her. So why all the setup and the murder? By simply rebuffing Raines, she makes it clear, she doesn't give a shit about him and she is worried about her marriage. If the author wanted the murder part ot be more "justified" then make it nonconsensual but unprovable. It did not come off that way as depicted. Poor Brian. Felt bad for Allender until the murder plot. Then lost all respect for her. She had alternatives to redemption beyond murder. Those who think otherwise: seriously?
Tremendous story. Most of the LW stories are about loss with no redemption…..you have done really good work here!
