Once there was a little guy and his older sister. The boy was 14 years old and his name was Oliver, while his sister was 16 years old and was called Ginny. They both lost their parents a few years ago and have been living by their grandparents a long time. The grandparents of Oliver and Ginny were living in an old village near a huge, dark and scary forest.

"Ginny, Oliver, could you maybe collect some berries for me? I want to make a cake. But please be carefully, the hunter said, in the forest lives a grizzly bear.", told grandma the children. They agreed.
So a few minutes later, they have been packing their stuff to go collecting berries. After Oliver and Ginny went to the forest, they searched and searched. A few hours went over and finally they found berries. Oliver and Ginny took some, but a big shadow suddenly appeared next to them. It was the grizzly bear!

The bear seemed angry. "Oliver, I will tell you this only once: run!", said Ginny and began to run. They both ran away from the grizzly, but Ginny was caught by the bear. She screamed. Oliver then stopped and threw a stone at the bear, which hit him in the eye. The bear briefly dropped his attention and both were able to escape.

After they came to their home, the grandparents have been worried about them. Ginny's shoulder was bleeding very strong on their way back home, but oddly enough it stopped bleeding. Instead of the blood or a scar there was now a brown stain. But the little family was happy, that all were alive.
A few days later, the grandparents went to a walk in the forest. So Ginny and Oliver have been alone for a while. Oliver waked up through a loud scratch and decided to go looking for it. "Ginny, are you okay?", he asked. "Ginny?" He stopped before her room's door. He knocked, but when there was no answer, he entered the room.

And what he saw was horrible.
It was a mixture of an animal and a human, but he knew it was Ginny. "Ginny, what happened to you? And why aren't grandma and grandpa already back?", Oliver was scared. The fear came over him and goosebumps spread to his body. The creature right before him didn't answer. Suddenly it attacked him. Oliver closed the door and ran. He remembered, Ginny had a brown stain on her shoulder. On this shoulder she had a very dark brown fur. He realized it. All came from the wound of the bear!

Scared he was, he went to the kitchen and have been hiding there until their grandparents were back. "Grandma, grandpa! Ginny is really strange, and she is...." Oliver stopped.
He looked at his grandparents.
And both of them had a dark, brown, stain on the shoulder.
