Frightful Weather part 1

	Cold…so Cold. I can’t feel my arms. Or my legs for that matter. How am I still walking? I didn’t think I was that far from the research team.  This wasn’t supposed to be how I died. There’s no dignity in quietly falling into the snow, and letting everything just stop. I’ve got to keep moving. The blizzard just isn’t letting up. I’m out of flares, and my walkie talkie is busted. I should have gone with Geena and the others. It was so stupid of me to go out by myself. I just thought…maybe I could fine those rare Mamonos with less people. It wouldn’t make sense to try and hunt one down in a large group.

But now I’m going to pay for my mistake. The snowfall is so thick I can’t even see 5 feet in front of me. God dammit. I fall to my knees. “I don’t want to die!!!” I yell.

Everything starts to go black as I sink face first into the snow. It feels oddly comforting. Now that everything is going numb, I can’t help but feel sleepy. This is good. I’ll just lay here, and let sleep carry me into oblivion. Why was I trying so hard to live? It’s not like I have anyone back home. Mom and Dad died in that car accident. Grandma passed away a year ago. Wasn’t that why I was here? Because my life didn’t matter that much? I guess it didn’t matter anymore.

No. I can’t give in. This is quitter talk, and Grandma didn’t bust her ass for 10 years raising me to raise a fucking quitter. I start dragging myself through the snow. It doesn’t matter, a small voice in my head rings. You’re going to die out here, you can’t even walk. “Fuck you” I snap back. Even if it doesn’t matter, even if I die, Grandma would be ashamed of me if I didn’t fight for every last breathe! I keep pulling myself through the snow on my elbows .

“Somebody please! Help me!” I scream out.

The wind howls louder, almost as if to taunt my pleas. Everything starting to fade. I don’t know much farther I was able to crawl, but at least I didn’t give up. That’s all Grams would have wanted. I hear a muffled sound, like the crunching of large feet through the snow. I look up and see a white and brown blob approaching me. Great. Must be a natural predator. My vision is swimming. I can barely see. The creature stands over me and says something. It almost sounds like English. I must be hallucinating. It picks me up in its massive paws and begins to carry me somewhere. Those paws are ungodly soft…I’ve slept in beds less soft. I’m scared. I was okay with dying a moment ago, but now I’m in this beast’s clutches. I was okay with freezing to death. Not okay with the idea of being eaten alive. The creature hugs me tight to its chest. Warmth begins to flow back into me, little by little. My fear begins to subside. It feels like the beast is trying to help me.  The warmth it’s exuding is beginning to affect me. I am getting feeling back in my arms. It feels so comfortable, I could just pass out. I begin to slip out of consciousness. Maybe…I’ll be…okay.



	I wake up with a start. Am I dead? Is this Heaven? I try to get up but my arms and legs are exhausted. I can’t move for shit. I’m also wrapped in some kind of heavy wool blanket or something. I try to make sense of my surroundings. Okay last time I was being carried through the snow by some furry…thing and now I’m in what looks like some kind of cave. Well that probably rules Heaven out. Maybe I’m in the beast’s lair?

I try to move again, but now I hear gentle murmuring, like someone’s talking in their sleep. And that’s when I realize I’m not alone, and I’m not wrapped in a blanket.

The “blanket” is a beautiful, large Mamono. She’s some kind of beast man, with large, furry paws and feet. Tuffs of fur cover certain areas around her body, but she seems to be mostly nude, if not for an animal skin bikini. While her fur is a snow white, her skin is a creamy chocolate brown. Her arms and legs are wrapped around me.  And her head is buried in my shoulder. She’s nuzzled up to my ear and is making cute snoring sounds. Oh my god, this is too precious. I look down, and that’s when I realize I’m completely naked. She must have stripped my clothes off to try and warm me with her body heat. Her breasts are pressed into my chest, and I begin to notice with embarrassment that my erection is being caused by something more than just morning wood.

I don’t know what to do. I can’t wriggle out, but I don’t want to disgust my host. I mean, I was half dead and unconscious for my first impression. I doubt "naked erection" was going to be a great second impression.

Still I can’t do much so I sigh and just lay back. Her warmth feels ungodly good. Ever experience being out in a snowy day, and then you go inside and wrap yourself in a blanket with someone you care about? It’s like that, but a million times better. I’d be content to stay here for hours honestly.

As if on que, she begins to stir. Her eyelids slowly open, revealing a beautiful pair of arctic blue eyes. She smiles when she sees I’m awake.
“Mmmm, good morning. Glad to see you are okay.”
Now that’s she’s awake, she hugs me tighter to her chest. She strokes the back of my head with her paws.
“I heard you screaming in the blizzard, so I came to help. I was really worried about you! I’m glad you’re okay! People get lost here a lot. I don’t like to see them get hurt.”
I blush as she continues to cuddle with me, I gentle roll over so she won’t feel my erection, and let her spoon me.
“Th-thank you. I th-th-thought I was going to die out there.” I stutter.
“Are you feeling all right? You sound like you are still cold.”
Oh no. She mistook my nervousness for shivering. She begins to press her breasts into my back and tightens her arms, pulling me farther into her chest. I’ve never felt so comfortable. She begins to hum something and I begin to feel sleepy again.
“So stranger, what’s your name?” she murmurs
“I’m Edward. But since you saved my life, I guess you can call me Ed.”
“I’m Kiera, But since I felt your manhood throbbing against me earlier, I guess you can call me Ki.”
My face turns crimson red and she starts to giggle at my expense.
“I’m sorry, you were just really cute and I’ve never been this close to a girl before.”
She turns me around so I can face her.
“No need to apologize. It’s just a natural reaction when you see a cute girl right?” She gives me a mischievous wink.
“So…what do we do now?”
“Well, can you move?”
“Not really, no.” I look down. “Well he can, but my legs and arms are still numb.”
“Then just stay with me for a while, and let my body heat warm you. Then we can talk about what to do with you.”
“That’s sounds like a good plan. I think I’m going to go back to sleep.”

She nuzzles up to me much like before, with her head in my shoulder, and her arms wrapped around my body.
“Hey Ki?”
“Yes?”
“Thanks’ for saving me. I wasn’t ready to die just yet.”
She smiles “I’m glad you’re alright. Now get some rest, okay?”
I barely hear her last sentence before I drift off into sleep.
