The One Dark Thing.

She read it , slightly confused by that.

[»BI_ã!d I)r\/\/g«]

A farm hand stood behind Epona and whispered,raising a shotgun.
Miss,you may wanna move.That there bear is a threat to your horses and yaself.

[.{.Zeecarian.}.]

Epona turned her gaze on the man. No.She said.

[»BI_ã!d I)r\/\/g«]

The safety was off.The bear rumbled ,translated as 'Leave me alone!'.Around it's neck was an ornately carved stone,shaped into a bear.
Why??

[.{.Zeecarian.}.]

Because.She answered, putting both hands on the bear.

[»BI_ã!d I)r\/\/g«]

The farmhand shook his head and took aim.The bear raised one paw and gently pushed Epona away,roaoring and crashing down next to the farmhand.The farmhand dropped the gun and yelped,then ran off.

[.{.Zeecarian.}.]

Epona moved , and watched , one hand on her stomach, eyes cold.

[»BI_ã!d I)r\/\/g«]

The bear came back to all fours and reared up,stripping some berries off a tree and crunching them before settling back to all fours.

She sat down , and leaned on a rock , thinking of the fact she would be in labor in afew days.

It had been laten that night when Kenai had turned into her night shape,and now the light swathed her,and she turned back into a human,pushing her caramel hair from her face,standing up.

[.{.Zeecarian.}.]

Epona watched , still suprised by this all. Sh

[»BI_ã!d I)r\/\/g«]

Kenai smiled at her and said quietly.
Uhhh,yeah.I'm Kenai.I gotta go!!
She darted off,she wouldn't be seen until later on that day..

[.{.Zeecarian.}.]

She got up and walked back to her home.

[»BI_ã!d I)r\/\/g«]

A few hours later Kenai knocked on the door,a stone carved into an eagle tied on a black strand in her hand.

[.{.Zeecarian.}.]

Epona oepned the door , her eyes catching the sight of Kenai.
