The Siamese Bear
In a small clearing, an unbelievable sight greeted Octavia's eyes. Before her was Lincoln, spear in hand, calling furiously for the others. Connor and Emilia had reached the clearing just as she and Tobias had and they too paused for a moment to take in the sight. Gershorn was attacking a massive beast, a bear, Octavia could make out. But it was larger than any bear she had ever seen in her life skills training classes on the Ark. Towering above Gershorn, roaring with all its might, this animal stood at least three men tall, from foot to shoulder, while on all fours. Gnashing teeth, it reared up on its hind legs as if daring the humans to come any closer. In her horror, Octavia made out something else. As the animal rose to its full height and bellowed, another image came into view just over its left shoulder. Two heads! Octavia's mind instantly returned to her first day on Earth when she, Clarke, Finn and the others had spotted the two-headed deer. Reeling in shock, Octavia's eyes made out something else – in the second head's mouth lay the lifeless body of Cyrus.
Emitting a yell, Emilia sprang into action. In mere seconds she and Connor were by the bear's flanks, spears in hand, taunting from either side so as to keep it distracted. Tobias and Octavia, furthest away from the scene, were jolted from their reverie. Tobias began to sprint towards the group while Octavia paused to unsheathe her knifes from their ankle holsters. Not handy with a spear as yet, she would rely on her weapons of choice. She'd barely removed them when she heard something behind her. Turning quickly, her eyes met yellow ones emerging from the shadows. The scaled-panther! Alarmed by the noise, the she-cat had returned to protect her young. Hissing and spitting, she sprang into the air and landed on top of Octavia.
