Bursting hatred erupted within his belly. Bear's fur turned into a crimson brown. Hair flashing angrily to imitate the rush of emotions in his stomach. Lady grew fearful not out of for her own well-being but that of the Bear's. She rushed over and held him tight. "Bear stop it, he's not here anymore. Stop it." As the words leapt from her mouth, the contact from her embrace brought her to-ah-crackle. Small blisters and burn scars erupted upon her bodily surface, like popcorn on a frying pan. "Bear please you're hurting me." At the sound of this plea, the Bear broke free from his daily nightmare. "I'm so sorry, so very sorry". "Don't worry Bear, as long you're okay". Snapping away from his terrible dream, the Bear immediately began to lick the ladies wounds with his blue bear tongue. "Why are you with me when all I do is cause you pain?". "Because you always make me feel better in the end". "Wellthat's not good enough". Walking by the Bear, Lady, passively tosses him a smile. "Because you are warm".
