One weekend, two best friends, Layla and Ashlynn, decided to go on a camping trip. It was going perfect, until in the middle of the night, when they heard the most horrific scream.
Layla immediately jumps up. “WHAT WAS THAT?”
“I..um…don’t know. Should we check it out?”
“What do we have to protect us?”

“I can call on Mina, my magical llama.”
“Nooo….Ashlynn…just no. Here grab this twig, and I’ll take my pillow.”
“What are you going to do with a pillow? Sing them a lullaby and make whatever that was fall asleep.”
“Shut up.”

In a crouched position, they headed for the woods. Somehow the friends sensed the scream came from that direction.
As they were walking, Ashlynn spotted a blood trail then heard footsteps to the right of them. She grabbed Layla’s arm and pointed to the right. There was obviously something or someone walking. After a moment of silence, they decided to follow.
Finally, it stopped. Layla and Ashlynn crept close enough to see what it was. It happened to be a grizzly bear. They ceased with fear.
“I know you are there. You both fail at being sneaky.” Layla almost fainted. She whispered, “Did that bear just talk? It can’t be.” “Indeed I did, sweetheart.”
“How can you talk?” Ashlynn demanded. “The same way you can, by opening my mouth. Humans are so naive to believe the conception that animals can’t talk.” Layla jumped back into the conversation. “Did you hear that awful scream?”

“Yes.”
“Do you know what happened?” Ashlynn asked.
“No. You see when the scream took place, I was…uh…running…from a tiger. This must have been the fastest tiger alive.”
“There are tigers in these woods?”
“Of course.”

“Well, why were you running from the tiger?”
“Because….um…….I…..hit his brother. Yea, I hit his brother, so he started chasing me.” Layla and Ashlynn knew he wasn’t being truthful, so they continued questioning him.

“What made you hit the tiger?”
“You are never going to believe this but, um, the brother tiger stole my, he stole my favorite flying unicorn.”
“Why would he steal your flying unicorn? I mean you seem to be a nice talking bear.”
“It is kind of a long story. If you excuse, I must go hide this body…I mean wash this body.”
The girls just stood in absolute silence, until Layla said, “But wait, where did the blood come from? We followed you from a trail of blood.”
The bear replied, “There is a trail of blood…? Oh, it must be from the screaming person wherever they went.”
“But this trail ends where you have stopped…...” Layla stated.

And then, the bear turned around. He was smeared in blood from head to toe. By the dim light of the moon, you could see that he was carrying a body. The bear took a few steps forward. “Surprise, Surprise.”, he muttered.
Both girls started running as fast as humanly possible. The bear was in hot pursuit after them. He was gaining on them. Ashlynn managed to say, “Sing him the freaking lullaby.”
After continues running, the girls heard that the running behind them had stopped. Layla slowed down to take a breather. “I think…I think we…we lost him.” Another step forward and Ashlynn and Layla were whirled up into the air.
They got caught in a trap. It was a net that was hanging them at least ten feet off the ground. In the distance, they could hear the pounding steps of a bear walking in the distance. Pretty soon, it became obvious as to who would be the next meal.
“Eat Ashlynn. I am just a sack of bones.” Layla cried.
“Gee, thanks.” Ashlynn replied.
“I don’t know, Layla. Your brother was pretty tasty.” Said the bear.
“YOU ATE HACOB, MY BROTHER?” Layla screamed.
“Yes…who do you think was the first scream that you heard?”
“Well this is awkward…..” Ashlynn blurted out.
The bear had managed to get a big boiling pot of under the net. He started lowering the rope. The girls knew their lives were about to end. THE END
