Amiable: adj. 1. Good-natured; friendly 2. Pleasant; agreeable.
It was snowing again. The snow sliced angrily at his face, numbing his ears and freezing his nose. The wind pushed against him, trying to bite into his skin. It was cold, even by his standards.
Cub brought himself closer as he stared at the snow speeding towards him like bullets. He had always like snow, it was pretty and fun to play in. Now it was only frightening.
Everything was frightening now that he was alone. The forests were dark and ominous, the humans savage and dangerous, and the other animals were now much larger and fierce then they were before. Everything was wicked and terrifying in this cold world of being alone.
Cub made a small whimpering sound in the back of his throat as the forest loomed over him. He moved closer to Mother, curling up against her fur seeking warmth and comfort. But he found neither; the warmth had long left her body, taking with it any comfort Mother could have given him.
He wanted to cry, the yell, to growl, but Cub knew it would do no good. The trees were asleep and would not hear his fright. The only thing making noise would do was attract the predators. He stayed quiet and still as he searched for warmness in the coldness of Mother.
Cub stared at the snow. It whipped past his face so fast it scrambled his mind, turning it inside out. Vaguely he wondered if it was the snow or if he was just going insane. He's seen others go insane. They attacked anyone, even their own mate and cubs. Cub wondered who he would attack if he went insane. After all there was only him.
Finally it all became too much he let out a loud whimper. What would it matter if predators came now? If not he would only freeze or starve.
His whimper grew louder and louder until he was almost howling like a wolf.
The sound of cracking branches made Cub's mouth snap shut. Cub stared in fear at the gap in the trees. He knew the predators had come.
Cub wanted to curl up closer to his mother, to try and hide, but he knew it wouldn't help. He thought about running but they would easily catch him. All he could do was wait.
It felt like eternity just watching, staring into the forest, predicting his death thousands of times. Finally out of the darkness popped a small human head. Cub froze at the sight of the chubby thing. It was smooth and white like the snow, with golden fur on the top of his head, and two purple eyes staring at him intensely. Slowly the young human moved out from the forest and closer towards him. Cub knew he should run, he could out ran a human this young, but he couldn't move. There was something strange about the child, something old and powerful. Yet, that power wasn't what kept Cub glued to the ground.
It was his large open purple eyes. They looked at Cub with an emotion he didn't understand but he felt safe with their gaze on him. He knew this young human was his friend.
The purple eyes flick to Mother before resting back on Cub.
"You're alone." The young human said, his voice almost disappeared in the wind. For a moment Cub wondered if the young human was actually real.
"I am alone too." He whispered sadly. "Will you come with me?"
Cub's mind clicked to a stop. Going with a human, Mother used to say humans were both kind but dangerous animals. They were not to be messed with.
"Who are you?" Cub asked in Human just as mother taught him long ago. The young human smiled.
"I am Canada."
Cub gazed into the friendly purple eyes and slowly he stood up and left his mothers cold embrace. As he stumbled over Canada's face brightened up like the sun. He would be safe with this human, he decided as Canada gently picked Cub up. He cradled him in his arms tenderly.
"What is your name?" Canada asked softly.
Cub stayed quiet. Mother called him Cub but he was not old enough to have a name. Canada nodded sensitively.
"I will call you Kumajiro then. Is that ok?"
All he could do was nod numbly as Canada carried him away to his new home.
Ha ha, this story does even go with this word but who cares! Wooo! I love Canada and kumawhatzhisface so I thought is should write about how they meet. I basically picked a random word. Awesome right? Ha ha!
