Jim and Tim were able to sneak out of camp and find the clearing that they had heard their dad describe. They were crouched behind a large fallen tree
"Look over this log and see if the coast is clear, Jim."
"Not me, how about you, Tim?"
Suddenly they heard a squeaky kind of voice say something that sounded like "Hey, you two."
"Rufus!" The twins said in unison. (Boy it seems everybody is doing that lately)
"He must have fallen asleep in your back-pack, Jim."
"Hey, Rufus, look over this log and let us know what you see in the clearing." Jim asked.
Rufus gave him a suspicious look, but before he could squeak out a defense, Jim grabbed him and plopped him down on the top of the log.
Rufus quickly looked around the clearing, and seeing nothing, motioned to the twins that there was nothing there.
The two climbed over the log, grabbed Rufus, and walked into the middle of the clearing.
After they had reached the approximate center, Tim said, "There's nothing h…"
Suddenly, seemingly out of no-where, a huge bear-like creature appeared at the edge of the clearing. It stood about 8 ft. tall, and had hair over most of its body. What was strange was that it had what looked like a metal arm, and below the knees on both legs also looked like metal. Then they saw its face, and half of its head also looked like metal, with a red eye ball!
Both twins started to run, carrying Rufus, but before they could get two steps, and before they could make any kind of cry for help, this creature had covered the distance between them, which was about 50 yards. As soon as it reached them, it released some kind of gas, knocking them out cold. In the short scuffle, Rufus had fallen onto the ground, un-phased by the gas, but hit his head on a rock knocking him a little silly.
