Cold Sea // Marvel

Chapter One.

18th century

The girl kept running after the two polar bears which were trying to outrun her. She kept on smiling as her feet brought her closer to the animals. Her eyes were filled with excitation and their natural blue was shining like a thousand sapphires. Ultimately, the girl succeeded to grab the bears legs to stop their run. She threw them behind her shoulders and turned around to look at the two animals. Before they could get back on their feet, the girl killed both of them with her hands.

When the entire meat of the first bear was in her stomach, the girl decided to keep the other one for later. While she walked to the ocean, the carcass on her shoulder which she held with her right hand, the girl started wondering. The animal fur was really soft. It's not that the cold bothered her, she just questioned herself. Why did the animals have fur and she didn't? Her skin wasn't as soft as theirs, and no fur covered her.

So, before she threw the carcass in the water, the girl used a sharp ice instrument to get the fur off the dead animal. She jumped in the ocean with the fur and tried taking the blood off of it. Sharks kept swimming around her, but she wasn't scared. The girl didn't know what this feeling was. To her, she only knew the feeling of excitement.

One of the sharks tried to grab the fur with its teeth, but the girl punched it on the nose to make it go away. And it worked. The sharks, as the other marines animals, knew that something was wrong with the girl. They could feel it, which the girl ignored.

After climbing back on the ice, the girl enveloped her shoulders with the fur and immediately smiled to the softness of it. A weird sensation filled her upper body. A sensation she never had.

Warmth.

Early 20th century

Hearing voices, the girl raised her head and looked around her. She never heard voices. The only sounds that filled her days were the ones of the ocean or the animals. Sometimes the wind punctuated her days, but never voices. She was curious. Which animal could have this kind of voice?

And there was six of them. Six animals who had weird voices and pronounced things that sounded strange to her.

The girl walked toward the voices, a smile of curiosity on her lips, as she was joined by an Arctic fox. The little animal walked beside her, his ears and tail low. His fur was beautiful, but the girl still had the one from the bear she killed 400 years ago. She never got rid of it even though it only covered her back. She used the claws of other bears to maintain the fur on her shoulders by planting the claws into her own skin.

The girl stopped when she saw six silhouettes meters away from her. The voices came from them. She didn't know what kind of animal they were.

And when their gaze fell on her, naked with only a polar bear fur on her shoulders, they all were amazed. The fox on her right barked a little to the men.

"Jesus, who is this woman?!" Asked one of them.

The girl frowned, not understanding what he was saying.

But when she saw them getting a strange object out of their bags, she was even more confused. She didn't know why, but she took a step back when they took a step forward.

"We are not here to hurt you," said another man in a loud voice. "I will not hurt you"

And before they could say something else, the girl turned to her right and ran toward the cliff. She ran fast, too fast for them to keep looking at her, and jumped off the cliff into the ocean, head first.

Mid 20th century

The woman was sitting on a cliff, looking at the whales swimming away from her, while petting the fox on her laps. It was a male. The girl smiled when she reminded herself that the last time she ate a fox was a hundred years ago.
