Welcome to the Locke's house.
​

(PS, there is a small stone chimney in the back. This house took Locke weeks upon weeks to make)

Locke woke to the sunlight peeking through the "window" he made next to his bed. "Good morning sunlight" he said softly to himself. Rolling out of bed and standing up, he stretched.  He grabbed his "formal" clothing. "Time to go to town" he said as he slipped the shirt on and pulled the shorts up around his tail.  Locke put his quiver and bow around his shoulder and walked out the door and towards town.

Locke arrived at his cabin with a completely different than that of when he left. He stepped inside his house, throwing down his bow and quiver. He took off the shirt he was wearing and picked his stuff back up. "Well, let's get to work" he said to himself as he exited his cabin. He arrived at his hunting area quickly. Readying an arrow, he crouched down behind a tree. Waiting for something, he kept his head and ears on a swivel. After a small time, he heard something faint. It was the movement of brush as something walked through it. Locke readied his bow and waited. It got closer and closer and close enough to a point where he could tell that there was more than one. Then the sound stopped, after that something unexpected, talking. "Hmm" he groaned quietly. Bandits. It sounded like there were four of them. Locke moved to a point where he could see them. Four humans, one armed with a bow, the others armed with knives. Locke knew he could take them on, with his skills in the forest. Readying his knife, Locke got ready to drop on the closest one. Staying silent, he dropped onto the man, driving the knife into his skull. He then grabbed the bandit's knife and through it at the man with the bow, striking him in the chest. Locke then threw his own knife at the other. 1 left. He dropped the body of the dead man and charged for the closest blade to kill the last one. The last one drew his knife and charged in the same direction. Locke grabbed the knife in time and drove it into the incomer's heart.  With the last one falling, Locke stood there with his orange fur stained red with blood. "Easy" he remarked as he started to walk off to continue the hunt. He didn't make it a step until he felt a sharp pain in his side as he moved. Looking down, he saw what caused it. The last one's knife had been driven into his side. "Oh lord" he said as he moved his hands to remove the blade. Gripping the handle, he pulled it out slowly. A sharper pain hit Locke as he pulled the knife out.  The cut was clean through. No twists. "Oh god, I need to get to the doctor." he said as he holstered his blade and walked in the direction of his house.

Locke had reached his home. He smiled to see no one there, yet. "Well, time to go" he said as he walked in. He continued to set up a fire in the fireplace to make it seem like he was home. After that he moved outside and walked to a tree. "Hope I can get up" he said. Grunting as he reached for branches and the discomfort of his stomach, he climbed a good way up and rested in a group of branches. They were surprisingly comfortable, but this was the last thing he had to enjoy as of now. Not long after he set up, a group of voices approached the house. He readied his bow and aimed at one of the theives. Locke drew the bow, aimed, and released. The arrow struck the man in his back with a "thunk". The bandit yelled out in pain as he fell. The scream echoed through the forest. "What?" one of the bandits said before another arrow flew. It hit the man in the throat and nothing was heard but the gurgling of his own blood. More of them surrounded the bodies, making the outline of 6 more standing. As they began to scatter Locke let another arrow go. It hit one of them in the side of the chest. He let out a similar scream to the first one. "Where is he!?" one of them shouted. The bandits had left the light but Locke could still see them. Aiming at another, he led the target, drew, and released. The man fell with a thud as the arrow struck him in the chest as well. 5 more. Locke let himself rest for a moment. His quiver was running empty with only 4 left. "How?" he whispered softly as he thought. Collateral. He needed to hit two targets in one. Drawing another arrow, he aimed for one of the men. This time, he missed. Cursing himself, he only had three left with four men left. Switching to another target, he drew an arrow. The arrow hit the man in the thigh. He let out a shrill screech that would send a chill down anybody's spine in the night. "We need to go!" one of them said as they ran for the injured one. The remaining four lingered. Locke decided to let them live as they tended to the injured man.

It had been a long, restless night for Locke. He did not sleep at all and he was in a tree all night. When the morning light began to flood the forest he saw that the bandits from earlier were gone, but the corpses still lie in the dirt. He decided it was safe to come down and get to work doing something other than his profession. He couldn't see more than 15 feet in front of him because of the fog. He smiled when he reached the ground. "Just another days work" he said as he walked to his house. He put down his bow and quiver for the first time in a while and sat on his bed. He thought to himself, "Go to town or stay?".  Locke decided to stay home for a while.
