It was winters night, dusted snow sitting on the hard and frozen soil like powder. The tangled trees were weighted down by patches of it, making way for little light to pass through and shine on the three moving shadows in the late hour. They moved quickly through the snow, taking care not to snap any twigs or make any noise.
One paused in protest to listen, as if it had heard a sound, and when nothing but a bird flapped its wings and flew away, continued on its way with the other two behind. It was an odd way to be walking, to be on all fours, but paraphs it was normal for bears, for they never made a move to stand on their hind legs or to even stand at all. The night was chilly, and the wind blew through their thick fur, ruffling it. The smaller shadows shivered, for their fur wasn’t thick enough yet to warm them in the chilly evening.
One stumbled and fell, letting out a small shriek that sounded more like a roar than a whine. Curious creatures, bears. We will never understand them completely, will we, now?
The largest shadow towered over the smaller form, and bent its head to grab at the youngest’s fur, and when she looked up, the youngest dangled by its fur in-between her teeth, though unharmed. Suddenly the clouded skies shone brightly, the moon at its fullest, to reveal a large brown furred bear, and two smaller forms hunched together in a small ball.
And then the eldest shook herself, starting to walk lazily once more with her pups behind her. They had barely taken a few steps before a bang ran throughout the eerie forest, and the mother, now panicked, quickly made to grab for her children.
But another bang rang out, and then another, and then another, until it was just behind them.
And the last one rang, and it took a few moments for the eldest to realize it had been gunshot, for blood poured out of her chest, and she nuzzled her children with a weak wail, and hit the hard soil. The pups wailed loudly, but stopped midway at the sound of a twig snapping, and took off running farther into the knotted branches of the forest and didn't glance back a single time.
a few days later, just as the pups were starving greatly and weak enough for their legs to shake every time they stood, a blond haired human girl just happened to pass by while going to school, and saw the poor creatures.
They were curled up on the ground, shivering slightly from the skin piercing wind. The girl had a surprisingly soft spot for animals, and grabbed at her bag, searching it wildly for her ham and cheese sandwich. She had been saving it for lunch, but the little fellas looked like they needed it more.
They jumped up in joy as she threw the sandwich on the hard soil. The second it had hit the ground, the pups were attacking it, and moments later only bread crumbs were left over. Their bity black eyes bore through her, and she gently neared their small and thin forms.
They shied away from her outstretched hand at first, but then were more comfortable and stood their ground, and the girl ruffled their fur affectionately with a beaming face. The soft hairs on the small bears felt soft to the touch, only making her want to touch it more.
But before she could have, her golden eyes fell on her watch, and she hurriedly zipped up her bag, taking away her hand and leaned down to kiss their furs each goodbye, and started running towards the exit of the forest, the trees towering over her and casting tall shadows as she ran.
She did not know if she would see the bears again, but her attention was on them the whole day, and she did not remember a single lesson. At night she tossed around restlessly, unable to sleep without knowing their well-being. So, she glanced blankly at the wall, and then there was a silent tap. She sat up on her bed quick as lightning, on full alert now. There was another tap, and then another.
Irritated, she trudged to the window and swung it open, only to find two boys at the window, grinning up at her. They looked about her age, with the same brown hair and brown eyes as each other’s. It took her a moment to notice she was facing twins, and chuckled despite herself.
“Well hello there.” She smiled gently, and they felt as if they were welcome, and climbed through the windowpane.
“ uh.. wait a minute..” She uttered, but suddenly her head felt blank and fuzzy, ad before she knew it, her knees had gave out and she had fallen, her vision turning dark.
How does that sound? You can be any form of animal or another creature. Fantasy characters are welcome!
