The next morning I woke up alone. The smell of bacon and eggs drifted upstairs to find my nose. Gathering a sheet around me I heading downstairs, to find David and Steve sitting at the kitchen table. David, the 30-year-old doctor who had confessed of an older woman giving him pleasure when he was younger, sat quietly. Steven, the 50-year-old doctor was different, more self-assured. David glanced at me with a soft smile then looked down at his plate to continue breakfast. Steve was more intent, looking at me for quite some time. I felt the heat start to rise in my cheeks. He motioned toward the stove; "There are more eggs and bacon on the stove if you're hunger."
"Thank you," I said in a quiet voice.
After filling a plate I sat at the table with them. The image of last evening and the kitchen table was still fresh in my mind. Given the turn of events so far I was hard pressed to wonder what the two of them had in store for me today. Steve did mention that today was hunting day so perhaps they would allow me time alone in the cabin.
"There will be a few others arriving soon," Steve said directly to me.
"Who is coming?"
"A few more friends."
"They are going hunting with you?"
"Yes."
Wanting to continue the conversation I asked, "What are you hunting for?"
"A lovely two-legged dear," he chuckled.
"Excuse me?"
"We were originally going to hunt white-tail deer but when this opportunity with you arose I decided to try something new this year."
"What are you talking about?"
"You will find out soon enough, now go upstairs and put on some jeans and the long sleeved shirt I left out for you."
I left the table but I still had a million questions. The walk upstairs only added more questions to my list. Two-legged dear? Wearing a long sleeved shirt and jeans? I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but reminded myself that I was the one who accepted this invitation for the experience and excitement. When I was dressed I left the bedroom and headed downstairs again. The other men had arrived. They turned to look at me from their spots at the kitchen table. They were deep in conversation.
My appearance broke up their meeting rather quickly. One by one they walked outside until Steve was the only one remaining.
"Are you ready for the hunt?"
"If you explain what you mean, perhaps."
"You are the two-legged dear we seek today."
"I will be the hunted?"
"Yes, but I have taken safety precautions to make sure nothing happens to you... well at least from a hunting safety standpoint."
"What do you mean?"
"I have a homing device I will attach to your ankle. You will be given a 2-way radio in case of emergency. I will hold the other radio and I will have control of the homing device." He handed me a bright orange vest to wear over my shirt and a duffle bag with some bottled water in it, "This is to protect you from other hunters in the area. You must wear it at all times so you aren't mistaken for an animal. The water is for your comfort."
"Just like that?"
"Yes, just like that. I have heard of human hunts before. They are primarily to hone hunting skills and nothing bad ever happens to the hunted one. Since you want to experience new things this could be an interesting quest for you, to see if you can outwit us today."
"What happens if someone captures me?"
"Well now, that is where it gets interesting."
"How interesting?"
"It seems that they wanted more than the thrill of simple catching you, especially after they saw you. I had to offer them something more to sweeten the idea for them."
"What did you offer?"
"If someone catches you, they get to have you to themselves for a while."
"If you have a homing device attached to me what is the point of hunting me?"
"I will only turn on the homing device after the allotted time for the hunt has passed so I can find you in the forest. That way you can wander and run as you need without fear of becoming irretrievable lost."
"How sweet of you," I murmured sarcastically.
"Are you up for this Sue?"
"It's not like I have had time to consider it one way or the other."
"That's true, but then again you do seem quite the adventurous one."
"I am adventurous and it does seem you have taken measures to keep me safe."
"I would never let any harm come to you. I do think that the adrenalin and the thrill of the hunt will be just as enjoyable as the rush you get trying to evade your captors."
"Yes I think you're right. When do we begin?"
"You will be given a 30 minute head start at the top of the hour. Then Dave, myself and the other 4 men will begin our pursuit of you."
"It's 9:45am. How long will you allow the hunt?"
"Six hours."
"Six hours!?"
"Yes, six hours total but if you are captured before that you have to remember that some time will be spent with your captor. Oh yes, and if you are caught early, after spending time with your captor you will be released again to evade the others until the six hours are complete."
"So I could hypothetically be captured more than once?"
"Yes but that depends on your cunning in the forest. Perhaps you won't be captured at all."
Putting on the vest and tossing the small duffle bag over my shoulder I headed out the back door. Catching a glimpse of the other doctors I found them to be pretty good looking. One doctor in particular caught my eye. He looked very much the bad boy with a well-groomed dark goatee. I would have never thought him to be a doctor if I met him on the street. His dark complexion spoke of another nationality. Suffice to say, he met the tall dark and handsome descriptive well. Glancing at my watch I knew I had 3 minutes until I would be turned loose in the woods. I took the time to look over the rest of the men, trying to access their prowess as hunters.
Two of the doctors were larger and taller than the others. I figured they would have a hard time being lithe in the woods because of their build. Another was average height with sandy brown hair and rugged features, he quietly observed as the others spoke. I knew I would have to be careful this one for his observation skills. The one I noticed earlier stared at me with a hunger in his eyes. I had to look away because he made my skin crawl. I wanted to ask what type of doctors they were but decided it really didn't matter at this point. None of them were doctors right now; they were hunters that would soon be in pursuit of me.
Steve walked to me and placed the homing device on my ankle then fired a pistol into the air, "Your time starts now. I will shoot again in 30 minutes when the hunt commences."
I ran into the woods beginning my flight. After running as far and as fast as I could I stopped and looked at my watch noticing ten minutes had passed. I took time to access my location. Luckily Steve didn't notice me snatch a compass and a knife out of his gear. I gauged my distance from the cabin by the smoke coming out of the chimney and cut to the west. A creek barred me from going any further. I followed the creek to a narrower span and crossed remembering to mark a large tree so I could find it in the future, if need be. I started to creep more slowly through the woods trying not to break down the thickets and leave signs of my travel. I followed the creek northward until I heard a shot in the air. Another look at my watch confirmed that they were now searching for me... the hunted one.
I took a moment to sit down, drink some water and listen to the sounds of the forest. Squirrels chatter when people come near them while birds tend to go silent. I listened for signs out of the ordinary then resumed my trek. Unless I missed my guess I had doubled back on them by heading south, west then north. This could put me in danger if any of them headed west from the start so I was very cautious. I looked for the tell tale sign of the cabin, the chimney smoke. It wasn't too far from me so I headed that direction thinking if I could get to the cabin I could outwit all of them and wait for their arrival after the hunt.
In mid step a twig snapped, I stopped to huddle behind a big tree with my back against it. A hand came around the tree to cover my mouth. I bit the fingers covering me and ran hard from that place. The lumbered stride behind me told me it was a big man, I presumed one of the 2 large men I saw. I ran as hard as I could to get away, then glanced over my shoulder to see if I was gaining an advantage. A solid form stopped me in my tracks and grabbed hold of me. I looked into the eyes of the sandy brown haired doctor and began to struggle loose. He grabbed my hair and held me firm. Before long the 2 large men caught up to me.
"She's mine I saw her first and had her until she bit my hand and ran away."
"No, she's mine. I rightfully caught her and held her so she couldn't get away."
"If she weren't running from me you never would have caught her."
"Truce time. We will share in the spoils but I go first."
The large man looked at him with contempt but agreed. He led me to a downed tree and turned me to face him. "You agreed to his girl, so drop your pants and let me have what I earned."
I loosened my jeans and dropped them on the spot. He unfastened his pants and pulled his semi-hard cock out stroking it to erection in moments. His cock was average but had a nice fat head that glistened with precum. "Lay across the tree."
