warm, dear," the older woman said in her sugary voice. It always made Adrian feel calm.
"I will thank you, Mom." Adrian hung up with a smile on her face before beginning to feel a cold chill. There needed to be a fire in the fireplace and soon, but she knew that there wasn’t enough firewood left. She would have to go out and get some.
The bear encounter from her first week living with Brady came back to her, and she panicked for a moment before remembering what Brady had said. He had left a noise maker that would scare most anything away from her while she was out there, and there were often an ample amount of sticks only a few yards from the house. She could get them and be back in no time, hopefully unscathed.
Adrian went to the hall closet and pulled out one of the coats in there. They were all large and belonging to Brady, but she didn’t mind. They were warm and had his musky scent all over them. As she slipped one over her arms and pulled her hair out of it, it almost felt like she wasn't alone.
She continued to bundle herself up, knowing that the bitter cold would get to her quickly if she didn’t. By the time she made her way to the door she felt like she was trying to walk through sludge because she had so many layers on. It was rather comical, and she was a little glad that Brady wasn't there to see her like that.
The wind hit her cheeks first, biting them with the freezing cold. It was snowing lightly making the whole scene look like something from a greeting card. Maybe it was time to get into photography and share some of the incredible shots she could get from such a vantage point.
Adrian hummed to herself as she walked away from the house, keeping her eyes peeled for anything out of place. She was so not in the mood to run into another bear that decide to go against the norms of society and not hibernate.
She reached her hands down into the snow, pulling out some sticks and larger pieces of wood that were beginning to be buried in the fresh white powder that was still falling before her eyes. Once she had an armful and nothing bad had happened she traveled with them back to the porch and set them down before going for another batch. Since she wasn't sure how long Brady would be gone, she figured she should be efficient and get as much as possible in one shot.
As she wondered just a little bit farther out, the trees were denser, and she could hear some soft noises that didn't sound like they were natural to the woods. Adrian perked up her ears and looked around her surroundings to see what was making the noise. She could see movement in the distance; a shadowy figure. It didn’t look big enough to be a bear. In fact, it looked more like a human.
Adrian dared to walk a little closer, and she gasped, clasping her hand over her mouth to silence it. The very man that she was falling in love with who was supposed to be away on business was standing in the middle of the woods a few yards from where they lived. Brady was completely unclothed in the cold snow and kneeled down. He was facing away from her and didn’t seem to notice her presence.
She could hear wolves howling from a long way away as he lifted his head and looked at him like he was checking to see if anyone was around. What was going on? Why would he lie, and why was the cold not affecting him?
Then, the most insane thing she had ever witnessed happened; he stretched his back out in the air so that his spine was visible, and then he was no longer himself. In his place was a creature with dark fur, roaring loudly. Animals scattered at the sound of the threatening new animal in the forest. Brady, or whoever it was, stood up at his full new height, and Adrian instantly recognized him. It was the same bear she had seen when she had first moved there. The concept was mind-boggling and impossible, but she had seen it with her own two eyes. The bear was Brady, and Brady was the bear.
Adrian was no longer afraid but was upset, feeling the loss of
