The Shadow Bear (Hiatus)

Preface

Her whole room was swarmed by bears. They were all shapes and sizes. He had given her the liberty to decorate her bedroom and this was how she did it. One humongous white bear sat beside her and multiple tiny ones sat on her dresser.

"Oh Teddy how much I love you." The petite girl wrapped her arms and legs around the fluffy animal and hugged it close. It was already late in the night but she didn't care. She was more than comfortable waiting in her baby bear onesies.

In fact, she was willing to stay up all night just to get a glimpse of her Master. Nobody had seen him in days. He had just suddenly disappeared.
