Koda was lost in the forest. Alone. It was nighttime and the forest was even more dark. Koda was walking through these dark woods trying to get back home. He did not know how he ended up here, but he felt as if he was being watched every single SECOND. Anything could be lurking in the bushes and trees. It could be a fox, a squirrel, or a rabbit, which Koda wasn’t afraid of. However, their could also be another bear, a wolf, etc. If they were friendly, then that was ok with Koda. If not, then he would be fucked. Snap! A cracking noise was heard. Koda whipped around, expecting to see something directly behind him, only to see his paw prints and trees. He then looked down. “Phew,” Koda said to himself, as had only stepped on a stick. He continued walking. SNAP! There was another snap, except this time it was even louder, and it was NOT Koda who made the noise. He slowly turned around… Right behind him was a giant massive macro grizzly bear! It was not Kenai, it was not Tug, it was not anyone he knew! The bear snarled and growled. Koda was frozen in fear. “ROAR!” The large bear let out a huge roar! Saliva got in Koda’s face, which snapped him out of his fear. He wiped it off, disgusted and panicked at the same time. “HELP ME!” screamed Koda. As if on cue, help arrived! Kenai and Denahi came out of a clearing, the latter with his spear. Both knew that Koda needed help, even though at the same time Denahi did not speak bear. “Brothers protect brothers,” said Kenai. Denahi started to say confidentially, “don’t worry Koda! I-” but the look of confidence on his face turned into panic to moment he saw the size of the bear. He dropped his spear. The large bear picked it up, looked at it, and then snapped it in two. There was silence. It was Denahi who broke it. He laughed nervously and continued, “I say we...” and then screamed “RUN FOR IT!!” The trio took off running. Loud steps were clearly audible. Then there was a shout, a swipe of one of the bear’s paws, and Denahi was suddenly gone! “DENAHI!” screamed Kenai, stopping to turn around. “No Kenai!” shouted Koda, still running, “I know Denahi is your-” SWIPE! Kenai was gone. Koda ran faster. He still didn’t look back. He could hear Kenai and Denahi shouting. “LOOK I’M SORRY BUT I DON’T SPEAK BEAR!” shouted Denahi, nearly crying. “PLEASE,” cried Kenai. Koda could not make out the rest of what Kenai shouted. SWASH! The bear’s paw missed Koda by less than a foot. SWAYSHE! Koda swore he felt the bear’s claws just slightly touch his back. SLISHE! Koda felt the bear grab him. Then himself being lifted. Except he couldn’t see anything. The large bear was covering his eyes. The bear finally took its paws off Koda’s eyes. Koda felt small when he saw where he was now.. He, Kenai and Denahi were all being held in the giant bear’s right paw. “Let me and my brothers go!” shouted Kenai in a partially brave though still scared tone. “Did I hunt and kill someone you liked? I don’t hunt bears! Why can’t I speak bear?” cried Denahi. “I want my mommy and daddy!” Koda sobbed. The giant bear just turned his head curiously. He had never seen any prey cry THIS hard. At the same time, it just made him MORE excited. Oh! This was going to be even more fun to hear their please when they got eaten! The bear tossed the screaming prey into his mouth. CHOMPH! The bear licked all three of them. They tasted good! Then… GUUUUULPP! The bear swallowed them all down. And then- [brace for impact] “BUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPP!!!!” [Finally I managed to write a little like the Cheshire Cat Master. Ok now back to the story, and I’m resuming my own style] “I’LL FLY UNITED!” Denahi screamed himself awake. He turned on his light and looked around. He was in his tent. “God, I have to learn how to speak bear,” he said to himself when he had calmed down. He then began to read a book he rented called How to speak Bear. The book (unsurprisingly?) was written by an animal rescuer from Montana who loved bears. The book actually did teach people how to make bear noises and communicate with other bears. Meanwhile… “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!” Koda screamed and woke up. He looked around. He was in the cave. It was just a nightmare. All the other bears had woken up and were looking at him. There was a brief moment of silence. Then Koda broke it. He burst into tears and hugged Kenai. Kenai did not say anything and hugged Koda back. After several minutes, Koda managed to calm himself down a little. Kenai finally spoke: “What happened?” He asked. “I h-had a n-nightmare.” Koda managed to say, stuttering. “There was a giant bear and you and Denahi tried to save me- we were running and we thought we escaped the bear, but then he grabbed us and eat us!” Koda then burst into tears again. Kenai hugged him again. Eventually Koda ended up crying himself to sleep, snuggling himself against Kenai. Kenai nuzzled Koda and he smiled in his sleep. Sometime later… Koda woke up again, though this time not screaming. He couldn’t sleep. He felt cold and uncomfortable. “Kenai?” Kenai, who was sound asleep, just shifted his position. Koda snuggled up against the larger bear’s chest. It helped, a little. Eventually Koda just couldn’t take the cold nor the panic anymore. “Kenai, please…” He started to pull on Kenai’s fur… “OW!” Kenai shouted and woke up. “Sorry Kenai but I can’t sleep. I feel scared of-” Koda said, but paused looking at his friend’s stomach. “Koda why can’t you sle-“ Kenai began, but then he paused as he realized what Koda wanted. “You want me to eat you, don’t you?” “Yes,” said Koda smiling, “I feel more safe and secure when you eat me.” Kenai smiled. Then he closed his eyes and whispered several unintelligible words, then… POOF! Kenai opened his eyes. Koda was now a micro. “I hope my size doesn’t scare you,” he said. Koda laughed, “of course it doesn’t. It’s because I trust you.” Kenai licked Koda. [Yes I typed this on purpose] “Hey that tickles!” Koda said laughing. “Come on in now little brother, you did say you want to be safe,” said Kenai, and opened his mouth, letting his tongue out. Koda stepped onto Kenai’s tongue and Kenai pulled his tongue inside. He playfully licked Koda several times, Koda laughing as he did so. Then Kenai swallowed. Koda playfully touched Kenai’s uvula and then fell into his esophagus. After being forced down by the throat muscles, Koda landed in Kenai’s stomach. It smelled awful, but Koda had gotten used to it by now as Kenai had eaten him several times before. He found a clean area and collapsed to the floor. “Good night Koda,” said Kenai. “Good night Kenai,” said Koda. The two fell asleep. Early the next morning Kenai spit Koda out and restored him to his normal size. The brothers then had a fun day! Oh yeah and Elon Musk continued working on his satellite but then he shelved the idea because he had to focus on other things. THE END
