Did he actually mean for the bear to chase him?
In the story "Bluffing" by Gail Helgason, Liam starts to run causing the bear to attack Gabriella first.
She doesn't believe him, but Kiley thinks differently from what she has been told. He ran away to try
to get the bears attention, he never meant for it to go for her. If it wasn't for him then it would have
been her who ended up in the hospital bed all wrapped in bandages. "Gabriella grabbed for her pack
and pushed herself off the rock." If she had stayed put then none of what happened would of occured,
Liam and herself wouldn't have gotten attacked. "She knew that if she retreated too quickly, the bear
could be on her like a cat on a wounded bumblebee." She has the right idea about that, moving too
fast would cause the bear to charge, which is exactly what happened when Liam had started to flee. "I
meant for the bear to come after me instead of you." Liam fleed so that he could get the bear to notice
him, rather than her. He would have done anything to save her life.
Personally I think that Liam wasn't bluffing, but that's just me.
