It's a week before Christmas and you were hiking in the woods nearby, clinging to the straps of your backpack as you sigh happily. The snow was always beautiful at this time of year, sparkling so magnificently on the ground and the trees.

A lot of the most dangerous animals were gone too, either for warmer locations or sleeping in their homes... But when you hear metal clang and birds cawing in a panic, you look towards the sound in worry.

What was that?

You hurry over towards it, before gasping when you see a white deer with its leg trapped in a bear trap, the deer making sounds of pain. You slowly step closer, catching the attention of the deer which stared at you, brown eyes wide.

You notice the deer had a bag around it's neck and frown, reaching out for it but the deer turns its head away, seemingly not wanting you to take the bag.

You sigh, knowing you may seem insane at your next choice as you murmur "I gotta help you out. Can you stay still so I can get your leg out?"

The deer stared up at you, tilting its head before it seemed to nod and stay still as you pry the trap apart. The deer limped away, but collapsed near you, making another sound of pain.

You find a way to get it home and let it warm up by the fireplace after you wrapped its leg.

"Okay, I'll check up on you in the morning. Uh... Night, I guess..." You mumble, the deer watching as you disappear into your room.

The next morning, you yawn as you slowly walk out of your deer, expecting to see the deer asleep only... To see someone with deer antlers watching your TV with a giggle?!
