Scharlie noticed right away that the rain had stopped and that she was quite cold without a fire, but that wasn’t what had dragged her out of a deep slumber. She sat up in bed, dragging the blanket with her, looking around her small home, and listened. And there it came again, the creak of the porch boards outside squeaking as if someone had stepped on them. In a flash, Scharlie was out of bed, ignoring the cold as she wrapped herself in her robe and pulled out her Colt Frontier Six-Shooter with pearl handles from under her mattress. She checked to make sure the chamber had rounds and cocked it, her hand only trembling slightly. She waited. Breath held, nerves strung tight, she heard another set of footfalls behind the house. Flashes of the dead doe streamed through her mind, and she thought about hiding in the cellar but was afraid any noise would cause the unwanted person outside to come barreling in.
