Thread Title: Shrek 2: 「 Holding out for a Hero 」
It was cold, very cold. Viola had not left the den often, though when she did, it was never far away. Today was no different, at least when it came to her routine walk. Though, soon enough, the young girl began to notice how dark it had suddenly gotten, as if something swallowed the sun whole. Amber eyes blinked, ears splaying to her skull while looking around, the unexpected change turning the girl around and ultimately getting lost.
She wasn’t far from home, her mother would find her, wouldn’t she? Or maybe her sisters? Or her brother? Or someone? Viola wouldn’t be left alone to freeze in the dark, no, of course not. Right? Small whines began to escape her, fear creeping up as the nearby trees creaked ominously in the wind and their boughs began to look like some sort of vague monster-esque creature, lingering in the shadows.
Viola crawled into a small burrow that was beneath the roots of a large tree, body trembling from a mixture of cold and fright. Maybe they wouldn’t find her after all…
Just as the pup began to close her eyes, accepting her newly realized fate, she noticed flakes of white begin to fall from the sky. Viola had seen rain before, but this— What was this? White rain? It fell slowly, drifting on the breeze in the same fashion a leaf would. Anxiety ebbed away, and was replaced with wonder and curiosity. It was still frigid, but she wanted to see what it was.
Army crawling to the burrow’s opening, she lay there as they fell atop her nose, cold and soft. They quickly melted into water droplets and trickled down. The wind felt sharp, like razors, but it was so pretty out. Viola nearly missed the distant tree, twinkling faintly in the distance. Another mystery, equally beautiful and new. She’d managed to entirely forget her fear and now numb her toes began to feel, causing her to leave the den and pursue the glowing tree.
