User blog:Tiger Lily29/Polar Bear Opposites (Bottomless Pit Story Contest Entree)

This is my entree for BradGF and Tuckyd's Bottomless Pit story contest.

That's right, I fell in a Bottomless Pit, and I happened to have a notebook and pencil with me, along with a flashlight, so I decided to write this story.

Summary: Devin and Maddie are two twin polar bear cubs who have migrated across the ice to the territory of their great uncle Sam. But what kind of mysteries do these woods hold? And will Devin and Maddie figure out how to work together before the new secrete overwhelm them?

Polar Bear Opposites:

Two lone figures walk across an icy tundra.

"How much longer do we have to walk?" Grumbles Maddie as they continue on.

"How many times do I have to tell you, we'll be there soon." Says Devin, not turning to look back.

"Why did we have to travel to Uncle Sam's den anyway?" Asks Maddie, for probably the hundredth time.

"Because, our parents wanted us to get out of the den. Look! I can see trees ahead." He exclaims as a forest comes into view. They both pick up their pace and they reach the tree line in no time. "It's only a matter of time until-"

Devin is cut off when a large grizzly bear jumps out of the trees. "Welcome to the Mysterious Woods!"

Devin jumps back, frightened. However, Maddie walks forward, curious.

"Uncle Sam?" She questions.

"It's Great Uncle to you!"

"Wait, you're not a polar bear, how are you our uncle?" Questions Devin as he walks forward.

"Oh, I'm more of an old family friend. Now, allow me to show you around." The older bear says as he turns and leads them deeper into the forest.

It's only a matter of time before they reach a large stone den with trees on both sides of the entrance.

"Welcome to a universe of mysterious woodland." The grizzly smirks as he leads them inside.

Once inside the den, they see many large wooden, and stone sculptures inside.

"What are these?" Asks Maddie, looking at a piece of driftwood that is shaped like a fish.

"Oh, those attract other bears and I offer them a place to stay, and they patrol my territory." He explains. "So far, I have a black bear named Zeus, and a brown bear named Whitney working for me. They live in the west, and the east dens."

"Wow." Maddie says, mystified.

Note: This is not finished yet! And also, the title is a pun of the phrase 'polar opposites'. Can you see any other references? Maybe in names or characters...please comment! I will have this done by Monday, the contest closing date.
