The scene changed to a girl with brown hair in a that had it in a long ponytail, had some red streaks on her hair on both sides, she had red eyes, fair skin.

For clothing she wore a white collar and black buttoned shirt which was underneath a brown cloak, she wore a black skirt and had brown boots.

She also held a bonquet of flowers, basically petunias, tulips, daisies and etc.

???: Lalala, I bet he's gonna love these.

She then skipped to a nearby lake where she was trying to find someone.

But then she saw something that made her stop.

The flowers she held were dropped.

He saw a boy with another girl as they were resting in the lake's waters.

???: Buster!

The two turned around to see the girl who sniffed.

Buster: Oh Cottonwood... I didn't know you were there...

The girl named Cottonwood gripped her fists.

Cottonwood: Who is that?!

Ella: The name is Ella, oh and I got some bad news for you... you've been replaced by me!

Buster: Sorry Cottonwood, it's just you're not big enough to satisfy me anymore.

Cottonwood began slowly tearing up.

Buster: For a deer you're not as big as I want, so you're free now.

The deer girl turned around and fled the scene crying.

The scene changed to a bear that was gunned down, fallen face first on the ground.

Dario approached it.

Dario: Alright and that's one out of five.

He looked down at the bear.

Dario: Sentry.... At least you're not like...him....

He tried to forget about a certain someone and looked at the list to cross off Sentry.

Other two names are crossed off too, those being Interloper, a cougar and Tetra, a navajo sheep.

The next two on the list were Cottonwood who was a deer and Canyon who was a bison.

Dario: Alright Cottonwood, he's next.

He then grabbed his rifle and began pulling Sentry.

The scene then changed to Cottonwood who was all alone crying whilst resting her head back on a tree.

Cottonwood: W-why...? What did I do...? What did he mean by that? That was...

She sniffed.

Cottonwood: Uncalled for....

Then a tan skinned man had maroon hair, tan skin, yellow eyes to which on his left one he had a bright red scar, he also had a red bandana covering the lower part of his face. He was wearing a brown poncho that exposed his midriff, he also appeared to have one arm as his left one wasn't present. He wore brown pants and black boots. He also carried a bag over his right shoulder

He noticed Cottonwood who was crying her eyes out, but he walked away rather to go unnoticed.

He walked away from her sight as the deer brushed off her tears and sniffed.

Cottonwood: Oh I can't wait for karma to hit him back like a boomerang, he deserves every bit of that for cheating on me!

The scene changed to the mysterious tan skinned individual with a bag, he was near a waterfall.

He lowered his bag down to the ground and he pulled out a can of spray paint.

He shook it and was about to spray a rocky wall but then a gunshot was fired at him, but the man dodged it.

???: A hunter...!

He turned to see Dario who was reloading from afar.

He put the can inside and tried to close the bag but another shot was fired and it hit his remaining arm on the hand.

???: Gah!

Dario: Game over Canyon!

He fired another bullet but the man named canyon dodged it and grabbed his bag and ran off. The hunter was on the chase.

The two were running around.

Canyon jumped passed a rock and touched a tree branch and pulled himself with inhuman strength with just one arm.

He then looked down at Dario who stopped and aimed the gun at him.

Canyon: I must admit, you're very persistent for a hunter.

Dario: Thanks and what happened to you other arm, bison?

Canyon: I lost it... thanks to another hunter. A bullet strong enough to pierce through my skin in the past but in the end I just trampled them to death.

He then pointed at Dario.

Canyon: Thanks to you humans I am incapable of turning back to my normal form, just stuck in this accursed human form with two legs! It disgusts me!

Dario fired another bullet only for the bison to dodge it and then did a drop kick to the hunter and began stomping down on him with all his might.

Dario grabbed a hold of his foot.

Canyon: Let go!

Dario then did this to him.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Canyon wheezed in pain and fell to the ground and held himself in the crotch area.

Dario: Not so tough after all huh?

He then pulled out his hunting dagger and was about to stab him but the bison pulled out a can of spray paint from his bag and sprayed it on Dario's face.

Dario: Gaaah!

He covered his eyes, giving Canyon a chance to gore him with his head and sent him flying in the air.

Canyon tried to get up and run away but he was badly hurt and could only slowly walk away.

Dario fell on the ground face first.

He raised his head up to reveal his eyes had black spray paint. He was angry.

He watched Canyon slowly walk away, he got up and gripped his dagger again.

He let out a war cry as he charged at the bison who turned around and didn't have time to react, with a widened stare.

The scene changed to Cottonwood who was up and walking around with a bit of a tired look on her face.

She was still heartbroken but knew she had to move on and maybe find someone else.

Cottonwood: It's not too late to move on...even tho it still hurts a bit...

Then she heard footsteps which made her stop.

She saw Dario who was holding his rifle but wasn't aware of his surroundings, he was rubbing his eyes because of the grafiti that Canyon sprayed on him. Blood was on his clothing.

Dario: Ngh.... My eyes....

Cottonwood was worried and then ran over to the hunter.

Cottonwood: Are you ok mister?

Dario: Y-yeah, just my eyes hurt because I got spray painted.

Cottonwood: That's bad, let me take you somewhere to clean them.

She pulled the hunter.

The scene changed to a small pond, Dario lowered his head and dipped it into the water.

In a few seconds when he pulled it out he was clean.

Dario: Hey. It doesn't hurt anymore!

Cottonwood: I told you it wouldn't all you had to do is trust me.

Dario: Well thanks for this, but I gotta go.

Cottonwood: Hm and where are you off to?

Dario: To find a deer named Cottonwood.

Cottonwood's face was shocked.

Dario: What's wrong?

Cottonwood; You mentioned Cottonwood.

Dario: Yeah? Do you know him?

Cottonwood:....

Dario: Come on, you know I won't hurt an innocent human-

Cottonwood: But I'm a deer.

Dario was surprised.

Dario: A deer that can turn into a human huh?

Cottonwood nods.

Dario: Then you're Cottonwood?! But you're a-

Cottonwood: No no please don't hurt me!

She fell on her knees with her hands clasped, pleading.

Cottonwood: I'm too young to die, I'm already having a bad and I don't wanna top it off and end it with a bullet to the skull.

Dario felt bad for her and knelt down.

Dario: What happened?

The deer sniff as she felt her right cheek cupped with his left hand.

Cottonwood: I.... *sigh* where do I begin....

She got up and faced the hunter.

Cottonwood: I was having a wonderful day and was planning to surprise my boyfriend, but then...

She felt sad again.

Cottonwood: I got dumped by him as he cheated on me with another girl.

The Americo-Macedonian got triggered upon hearing that.

Dario: He what?! What for?!

Cottonwood: Apparently I wasn't... big enough for him.

Dario knew what she meant, he looked down on her and examined her entire body.

Dario: Not big huh!? You look fine to me, in fact you're drop dead gorgeous.

Cottonwood was shocked.

Cottonwood: Y-you think so?

Dario: I don't think, I know I mean look at you. Any guy would wanna drop their stuff to assist you in anything you need?

The deer giggled.

Cottonwood: I never knew a human would be this much compliment I've about me. Back with Buster he wasn't that much complimentive, always gaga over me before getting dumped.

Dario: Was he a good kisser tho?

Cottonwood: Not much but I appreciate his effort.

Dario: I see... take me to him...

She was getting scared.

Cottonwood: Take you to him? Why?

Dario: I wanna have a chat with him, man to man if you get me.

Cottonwood smirked as she then thought about it.

Cottonwood: Ok sure, but is it REALLY a just a chat?

Dario chuckled as he grabbed his rifle.

Dario: You'll see Cotton, just take me to him.

The scene changed to Buster who was making out with Ella while still on the lake.

Cottonwood: There he is, the guy making out with that bitch.

Dario eyes him.

Dario: Yeah, he even looks like a scumbag.

Cottonwood: So? Are you gonna talk to him?

The hunter looked at the deer and then back at the other two kissing.

Dario: I have a better idea, cover your ears.

Confused but Cottonwood does it nonetheless.

Dario with a malicious smirk aims his rifle at Buster, wasting no time he fired a bullet that hit the deer right on the neck.

Buster coughed blood and held his neck, another bullet was fired as it hit his head, brains splattering around Ella.

Ella screamed bloody murder and turned into her deer form and fled the scene.

Cottonwood was shocked as she had witnessed it all.

Dario went over and picked the body and pinned it to the ground.

Dario: Your ex is dead, I'll lie to my boss that this is you since he originally thought you were male. Problem solved, we both win.

The deer chuckled.

Cottonwood: I didn't expect that, but then again I'll say this, revenge is totally sweet.

The scene changed to Dario who tossed Buster's body inside his van with the rest of the trophies and closed it.

Cottonwood: What's gonna happen to them?

Dario: Oh I'll be delivering them to my boss and in an hour or two they revert back to their original forms. Their meat and fur is gonna be used for our industries.

Cottonwood; I see and how did you hunt them all?

Dario: Oh a long story actually.

"Flashback"

The scene changed to Dario who arrived in Utah.

Dario: Snow in a desert, not something you see every day.

He then spotted Tetra who was in her normal form, she was walking around the environment.

Dario smirked and was ready to fire the shot.

But then a grey and cream colored cougar with green eyes out of nowhere pounced on Tetra.

The sheep screamed in pain as her neck was being mauled by the cougar's jaws. She died.

Dario: WTF?

The cougar was ready to eat, it almost took a bite but it was met with a bullet to the chest, getting killed instantly.

Dario: Eh, two for one special I guess.

He crossed off the names from his list.

"End of Flashback"

Dario: Yeah some of the easiest hunts I ever had to do.

Cottonwood: Oh, that's interesting. So that means you're done here right?

Dario: Mhm and I'm about to leave.

Cottonwood: Wait!

Dario was about to leave but stepped when he heard her.

Dario: Yes?

Cottonwood: Can I like.... Come with you? You seem like a rather interesting individual.

Dario: Idk Cotton, you sure?

Cottonwood: Absolutely.

Dario: Hmm....

To be continued...

OK guys this was chapter 24.

Peace out!
