<strong>Name:</strong>Isolde<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Woodland Area -- Clearing<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Sam [Though not knowing of Isolde]<br/><br/><br/>Isolde had just finished rinsing down the entirety of her body with a satisfied look upon her face. The young woman was glad to be finished with this task because the cold water was beginning to become unbearable. The skin upon her body had already begun to prick up in response to the cold water while her perky, rose-red nipples were unusually erect. The woman wrapped both of her arms tightly across her chest while her body trembled. She firmly bit her lower lip making the determination to wade across the stream to pull her body up from the water.<br/><br/>Isolde released her arms from their current position while beginning to walk against the current of the stream towards where she had decided to make camp for the night. The young woman extended her arms outward attempting to reach a nearby rock. If she could just grab the rock, she would be more easily able to pull herself to the other side. When she finally was within grasp, she wrapped her fingers around the protruding rock as much as was possible. She lifted her feet from the ground and began to inch closer to the shore. Once reaching the shore, Isolde was preparing to lift herself up from the water onto the ground when she heard a rustling noise from somewhere nearby. Even though she felt her heart skip a beat, the young woman could not help but glance around the vicinity trying to pin point where the sound had originated from.<em> ‘Did I imagine the noise?’</em>Isolde tried to calm the anxious feeling inside which caused her body to become rigid and tense. The woman wanted to remain silent and unmoving, so to not attract any attention to her from whatever or whoever remained in the shadows.<br/><br/>Within the next few seconds, a bear appeared from behind some nearby shrubbery on the opposite side of the stream obviously in the area to catch some unsuspecting fish; though, he seemed to become noticeably more aggressive once spotting the figure of Isolde. Anyone nearby would have been able to hear the deep, menacing growl which was produced from low within his throat. Meanwhile the young woman began to panic because during all of her travels, she had never actually had to deal with anything so troublesome. She began to fumble with the rock attempting to climb up onto the land, as well as put some additional distance between the two. While she was failing to prop herself up onto the land, the bear closed some of the distance by thrusting himself into the water while letting out an intimidating clacking noise with its mouth. Finally getting a firm grip, the young woman tried to pull herself up but managed to fumble and fall beneath the current of the water in her panic. The bear raised its body up revealing the truly monstrous size which fully intended to cause harm towards Isolde.<br/><br/>While Isolde was underneath the water, she fully anticipated that she would be unable to escape from this situation. She attempted to hold her breath and stay under the water for as long as possible prolonging the situation. The young woman had managed to stay underneath for a substantial amount of time considering this was not an action that she practiced very often. Once she began to lose consciousness, the young woman floated upwards towards the air, as well as the bear. Isolde gasped taking in a breath of fresh air and quickly placed her arms across her face in a protective manner. Perhaps, someone who come to her aid? Who was she kidding… What kind of person would be just coincidentally passing through the area? Internally, Isolde could not help but chuckle at the thought before closing her eyes preparing for a substantial amount of pain. It was not anything that her healing abilities could not provide some assistance with later on.
