A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Petrified, Emily froze on her path as a ghostly paleness came over her face. A Bear! Why did this happen to her?

Without even a conscious thought, Emily turned around and made a run for it. She could feel the ground tremble as the bear's paws thumped behind her, roaring viciously.

Emily ran like there was no tomorrow. Driven by fear, she forgot about everything, as the bear chased after her.

"Pah!" Emily accidentally stumbled on a stone and fell straight to the ground. When she jerked her head back up, the fierce black bear had caught up to her. With teeth, sharp as white daggers, the bear, brandished its claws, ready to maul her at any moment. Emily shuddered.

"Roar!" The big black bear locked its blood red eyes on her, waiting patiently.

Before she could react, the bear was already coming at her at full pelt. It was a close call, but Emily was lucky enough to find a slope behind, that she could take advantage of. Without wasting another second, she curled up into a ball and rolled down the slope.

In the end, the savage bear watched with disappointment as its prey suddenly disappeared before its eyes.

The slope was not very high, so Emily just rolled for a while before coming to a stop. Although her body was covered with slight bruises, she staggered to her feet and hid behind a big rock. She was in a lot of pain, with her heart pounding in her chest so hard that it almost leapt into her throat.

Why was this happening to her?

A few minutes later, Emily popped her head out from behind the big rock to take a look around. When she was convinced that the coast was clear she breathed a sigh of relief.

Relieved of her fears, Emily still couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. When she gradually turned her head around, she had a panic attack.
