Mystery cub Chapter 25: Playing in the snow
Sheila's house, Savannah Central, 10:15AM
It was really starting to snow outside, the flakes seemed to be getting bigger and bigger every minute as a slight blizzard built up.
James was in the bedroom along with Luke and Sheila putting on some regular clothing and winter clothes like jackets and hats.
James was wearing a red and black coat with a normal cap with a pair of heavy grey pants, Sheila wore a black and purple coat with a shapka and a pair of blue jeans while Luke wore a green and blue jacket with black pants, they were suited up and ready to play in the snow.
The trio rushed down the stairs and ran to the door which Sheila unlocked and everyone rushed out in an instant.
Luke screamed with joy and jumped up and down as he ran outside into the white snow, it gently crunched beneath his feet and his breath was visible as a cloud coming out of his mouth.
Snowflakes fell from the sky like there was no tomorrow, it was really snowing.
Sheila danced in the snow and James proceeded to make a snowman.
Rolling some snow up into a big smooth ball which would be the body, he rolled it around the garden until he got enough snow for his satisfaction.
Rolling yet another smooth ball of snow which was the chest, he carefully picked it up and placed it on top of the first ball.
And then he rolled a smaller one which was the head of the snowman, he made sure everything was in place and placed the head.
Luckily he had just the things he needed to decorate the snowman, he got out a spare hat from his pocket, a carrot, some coal and 2 sticks.
Luke placed the buttons on the body and chest, Sheila placed the sticks for arms and James placed the hat, carrot and coal for a face.
"What should we name him?" Sheila asked.
"Henry!" Luke said as he jumped an held his Dad's hand.
"Alright, we'll call him Henry the Snowman" James said and happily kissed Sheila.
But Sheila got a funny idea...
She had snow in her paw, she squeezed it into a ball and smudged it into James's face just as he was about to kiss her again.
He rubbed the snow off his face and everyone started laughing.
"Oh that's how it's going to be? Have it your own way! Snowball fight!" James said as he made a snowball and threw it at Sheila and made another one and threw it at Luke.
"Hey! I'm neutral!" Luke said as he made a snowball.
"Not anymore!" Sheila shouted as she threw a snowball at James and Luke.
"Oh you're asking for it now! Come here!" Luke yelled as he threw small snowballs at James and Sheila.
The two wolves laughed as they tried to cover their faces to prevent the snowballs getting all over their faces.
James couldn't be any happier, he now has a fiance to add to the list of starting a family, now he just needed more kids.
As he, Sheila and Luke fought each other with snowballs, Luke stopped and froze.
James noticed this and instantly knew something was wrong.
"Luke? What's wrong?" James asked as he placed his paw on Luke's shoulder.
"We have to go inside" Luke said as he started backing up.
"Back inside? Why?" James asked.
"They're coming, we have to go inside now!" Luke yelled as he grabbed his Dad's paw and rushed back to the door of the house with Sheila following them.
"Who's they?" James asked.
"No time to explain! In here!" Luke yelled as he pulled a statue of a human soldier and a passage in the wall was revealed.
"What? How long and that been there?" Sheila asked with surprise.
"I don't know but I found it yesterday!" Luke yelled as he ran inside along with James and Sheila.
The passageway actually led into a small room with stone walls, a fireplace in the middle and some stone tables, it was a secret room.
"Wow, how have I not known about this?" Sheila said with amazement.
"Shh! They're coming" Luke said as he kneeled down.
"How do you know? And who is they?" James asked.
"I can sense them, and they are mammals who want me" Luke said.
"What do you mean sense?" Sheila asked.
"Yesterday, I learnt a new ability, as I have a human mind, a human is able to see an aura around anyone who is close by if said anyone is hostile" Luke said.
"What?" James asked.
"Keep it down! They are at the door and they will hear us talking unless you are whispering" Luke said.
James sat down beside him and hugged him as did Sheila.
The house was being intruded.
