Chapter 1
''A white bear crept at the edge of a seal hole, unmoving and still. One might have thought she was not alive if it wasn't for her shallow breaths. Her black eyes stared at the deep blue water lapping the ice steadily. A flicker of motion alerted her to the possibility of a oncoming seal. She tensed, her claws ready to strike. A sleek brown head popped up and was meet by a heavy paw. Teeth latched on to the neck and it was pulled out of the water in a swift motion. The whie bear growed approvingly, for it was plump and large. As she dragged it to her den she was greeted by two small faces. Her cubs, Rabi and Hamidi, licked her face happily and begged for food. "Mother! Mother! Please may we have some?" The cubs chirped pleadingly in unison, staring into their mothers coal black eyes. Their mother, also known as Fayola, smiled at the two cubs, who were only born about a half-moon ago but they longed to try meat."Im sorry cubs, but you must be patient and wait till your older." The siblings sighed sadly and watched as their beloved mother ate the seal. As soon as she finished the cubs started nursing till they were content. Then they proceeded to drowsily crawl to the corner of their birthden and curl up, yawing. "Sleep well my cubs, for tomorrow is a brand new day with exciting opportunity." Fayola said soothingly, licking their heads gently. "Mother, before we sleep can you tell us the legend of Silaluk?" Hamidi suddenly asked, gazing at her through grey eyes. "Oh yes mother, tell us!" Rabi piped up, her short tail wagging. "Ok, but promise you will sleep as soon as im done." The large white bear said, smiling at the enthusiastic cubs." "Yes mom! We promise!" Fayola lay next to them and began the tale. "Their was a beautiful white bear named Silaluk, whos gleaming white fur seemed to be stitched by the moons threads itself and she could run faster then a hare." Hamidi and Rabi exchanged awed glances, then turned to their mother. "One day Silaluk was hunting when Robin, Chickadee, and Moose Bird chased her. They ran for ages until they finally killed her. Her blood stained the leaves yellow and red, creating Burn-sky. But Silaluk came back to life! On the longest day she came back and pushed away the sun, bringing back the ice. So on the Longest Day we will be at Great Bear Lake with other white bears, but also black and brown ones. The white bears will raise to the sky and lift their paws, helping Silaluk push away the sun and bring back ice and snow." Fayola gazed at the starry night sky for a few moments, then turned to her awed cubs. Every time she told the legend of Silaluk they were amazed. "Go to sleep now darlings, you promised." Rabi and Hamidi snapped out of their awed trance and groaned in disappointment. "Must we sleep now?" Rabi complained, rolling in the white snow. "Yes dear, you must." Fayola said, curling up in behind them so they were laying against her soft belly. "Good night mother." They said, closing their eyes.''

''"MOTHER!" A white bear cub stood on the edge of the ice, roaring to her sibling who was floundering in the freezing water''. ''The two were 19 moons ( 19 months ) old and were practicing hunting. But the smooth ice had cracked underfoot and the cub Hamidi had fell through and was swimming for his life. "MOTHER!!" Rabi screamed again, her light black eyes frantic. "Please Silaluk, save my brother!" Rabi looked at the sky, half-expecting a great bear to come barreling down. Instead, Hamidi had scrambled onto a piece of ice and was floating away rapidly. "Rabi! Where's your brother!" Fayola looked around frantically, her ears flat against her head. "He fell through the ice but he got onto another ppiece but-" Fayola had leaped in and was swimming to her cub, yelling soothing words. Suddenly Rabi fell to th ground. She was tired, too tired. Her eyes closed slowly, but she made out Hamida disappearing and Fayola swimming back. ''

"Back off Abhi, I caught this seal." Rabi, no longer a cub but a young white bear, snarled at a large male known as Abhi. "I'm afraid I can't do that Rabi, it would be a shame if I was backing away and this cub fell into the water." Was the viscous reply. The female gasped as Abhi picked up a cub hiding behind his paws. "Give me the cub, take the seal but I get the cub." Rabi growled, taking a step forward. Abhi grinned and dropped the sobbing cub, then took the plump seal. "I'll be looking forward to another one." He mumbled through the fatty seal, padding away. Rabi held back a snarl and turned to the wide-eyed cub. "Lets get you back to your mother..." The pair trotted across the icy land, snow drifting onto their creamy pelts. They walked in silence until the cub spoke up. "Thank you for saving me." He chirped happily, gazing at the larger bear with sparkling grey eyes. Yet the enthusiastic cub only recieved a small nod and a question in return. "Where is your mother little one?" The cub looked at the frosty ground and after a pause he answered. "She isn't here, she is under the ice." He murmured, slightly raising his small snout to the sky. Rabi looked at the silent cub, full of sympathy. "My brother is their too, he drifted into the sea." The young female winced at the memory, hearing her brothers cries and mother calls. "Its fine though. It just means they are happy and free, even if we can't see their happiness! They are watching us and having a great time." Rabi glanced at the cub, surprised at the statement. "I suppose thats true." Rabi mused, a tiny smile creeping onto her pretty features. They continued to walk in silence until they reached Rabis snowden. “I suppose you don’t have a place to stay.” Rabi said after a moments consideration. The cubs tail began wagging, guessing what was next. “Would you like to stay with me?” Rabi asked, looking down at the cub, who she guessed finished nursing about a moon ago. “Yes yes a million times yes!” He yelped, dancing around on the spot. His soft paws twirled in the snow, carrying him around and around lightly. After he finished his little show he took a deep breath and smiled calmly. “Thank you so much, first you save me then you give me a home!” He buried his muzzle into his adoptive parents fur, taking in her scent.

Chapter 2
''“Mother...? Wheres... Wheres Hamidi?” The grief stricken mother took a deep, shaking breath. “He’s gone, he drifted to far and his ice broke, the he fell.” She held back a chocking sob. “No! He’s alive!” Rabi yapped optimistically, forcing her tail to wag. Fayola looked at her cub then took a deep breath. “He could be.” She whispered, trying to seem optimistic to the hopeful cub. Rabi grinned, happy to have her mother back on the hopeful side of things. “Head back to the den, ok? I’ll be coming soon.” The pretty cub bounded away, the snow whispering around her in small puffs. ''

"Rabi!' With small groan Rabi opened her eyes to find the cub known as Amadeus staring at her. "I'm hungry, can I go to a seal hole?" He asked, trotting to the opening of the den. Fear tingled throughout Rabi, imagining if he fell through. "I'm coming with you." The bear lifted herself onto her wide paws and trotted to a seal hole then crouched, waiting. After about 5 minutes Amadeus let out a small sigh."Hush now, you don't want to alert the seal." Rabi whispered quietly, barely audible over the quiet whistling of the wind. Amadeus looked apologetic and quieted, waiting patiently for what seemed like an eternity to the inexperienced cub.  Just as his eyelids were falling a seal popped out of the great ocean, so close he could feel her his hot breath. On instinct alone, he swiped forward and his paw made contact with the seal. Quickly Rabi shoved it onto the ice approvingly. They dug into the seal happily, barely making a sound. Both knew very well the scent could bring unwanted attention and had to finish quickly.

...

“That was delicious, right Rabi?!” Yapped Amadeus, his belly comfortably full. They had returned to their den and were huddling together, warmth flowing throughout. “Mhm, we should thank Silaluk for the plentiful ice so we didn’t have to room far.” The young bear turned to the cub, confused at his perplexed expression. “Who’s Silaluk?” He said, unbeknownst to Rabis great shock. “You don’t know who Silaluk is?” She gasped. When she got a nod in return she shook her head slightly. “Silaluk,” Her mother’s wise voice echoed throughout her mind. “Is a beautiful white bear named Silaluk, whos gleaming white fur seemed to be stitched by the moons threads itself and she could run faster then a hare." Rabi paused, as her mother would and took in Amadeus’ awed expression “One day Silaluk was hunting when the great Robin, Chickadee, and Moose Bird chased her. They raced across the land for ages until they finally got her. Her blood stained the leaves yellow and red, creating Burn-sky. But Silaluk came back to life. She used her magnificent strength and pushed away the sun, returning the ice. On the longest day, all bears, young and old, gather to Great Bear Lake and the white bears with raise and push awaye the sun with Silaluk, bringing back snow.” Although Rabi strained to remember how her mother described it, Amadeus seemed to get the message. “Woah, Silaluk must have been strong.” He murmured, his paws flexing as if he was imagining moving the entire sun. “Yes, she was.”

Chapter 3
“Rabi. Rabi! RABI!” Rabi awoke to find Amadeus bellowing into her ears, a worried expression on his face. “Hmph.... What is it?” Rabi rested her head onto her paws, obviously wanting to sleep. “I... I heard something outside, it sounded strange.” Rabi glanced outside only seeing a wide expanse of glistening snow and ice. “Well I don’t see anything.” She said, curling up slowly. As she closed her eyes a loud rumble sounded. The pretty white bear leapt to her paws and rushed outside, a growl building in her throat. “What is that.” Amadeus crept outside, glaring around warily. “I don’t know, but get ready to run.” Rabi let out a quiet roar, a telltale warning. Suddenly loud crack echoed throughout the land. A cacophony of birds cries rose and it seemed as if the world stood still for a moment. Then, pale faces appeared behind patches of snow, round multicolored pieces of fur around there faces. Some held long sticks, other held a rectangular board made of wood, with long curved wood at the bottoms. Even more rode a sleek, grey, oval shaped mobile. Although nor Rabi or Amadeus had seen flat faces before, they both instantly knew what to do. In a instant, they had darted off, barley grazing the ground as they took quick light steps. If anyone happened to turn and see them, they would see a mother and son loping gracefully across the land, carefree. They were feeling the exact opposite. Fear grew around them, feeling almost suffocating. The flat faces had leapt onto their mobiles and with a great roar had began flying after them. The chase was on.

Chapter 4

Rabi’s heart thrummed in her chest painfully, her breath coming out in strained rasps. The no-claws had gone out of sight long ago, but the two bears hadn’t stopped running. If Amadeus hadn’t fell, she probably would have kept on running. “Come on Amadeus, we have to keep moving.” Something told the young bear that the no-claws were dangerous creatures not to be messed with. “Please Rabi, can we take a break? We have been running for hours and i’m so tired.” He whimpered to punctuate that he couldn’t run for much more. “Oh, yes. I’m sorry Amadeus.” Rabi quickly dug a small snowden, the cold snow feeling good against her sore paws. Amadeus crawled into the hole, followed by Rabi. The cub curled up and almost instantly fell asleep. Rabis eyes fought to close, but she strained them open and gazed around. Ever tiny crack alerted her and her teeth bared, only to find a frightened bug or a howling wind.

As the sun woke from its slumber she rose, glowing rays falling onto the ground, Rabis had awoke as well. In shock, she realized she had fallen asleep. Chiding herself she stood up and nudged Amadeus, “I’m going to hunt, stay here and if you smell anything unfamiliar, run.” Fear in his round eyes, Amadeus nodded and pressed his nose against hers. The bear padded away, her button nose sniffing the air for a familiar meaty scent. The very moment she smelled it, a hare leapt in front of her paws. Glaring at her daringly, it sprinted across the snow. Rabi leapt after it, her powerful muscles rippling under her soft pelt. Suddenly a sharp prick fell onto her body, hitting her directly on her leg. She toppled over, a numbing pain spreading around her leg. She lay there for what seemed like hours, helpless. Her eyes began to cloud and she could make out pale faces reaching towards her.

Chapter 5

A gentle tingling noise rung throughout Rabis head and she lifted her paw to swipe at her ears. But her paws only touched a cold, hard, surface. Grunting, Rabi stood up, only to bang her head on small bars. Glancing around in confusion she made out a number of bars around her. A cage. She shakily looked around, wrinkling her nose at the sights surrounding her. Animals were covered in slick black liquid, miserable looks across there faces. Fear and misery was a thick blanket pressing down on the room. Suddenly, the young bear realized she was covered in the substance as well. ‘No.... No!’ She thought frantically, letting out a crazed bellow. She felt eyes on her and glared at a small, fully black bear. It shrunk back, fear in her round hers. She began to mutter something fretfully. “Toklo........ save..... Kallik....” Rabi lowered her head onto her paws, sighing heavily. She felt tired. And hopeless. She stifled a sob and closed her eyes. She tried to sleep, but the whimpers and pleas of the animals kept her awake. Suddenly the door burst open, bright light flooding into the crowded room. Rabis head snapped up and her teeth instantly bared. The no-claws strode in, boldly chattering loudly to one another. They stopped in front of her cage, holding a strange vial with a pointed tip. The largest one poked it into her thick fur, causing a shock throughout Rabi.

Chapter 6

“You ok?” Rabi slowly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. Shiny white gleamed around her. Was she back at her home? “Amadeus... where are you?” She mumbled, opening her glittering eyes more. “Amadues? Who’s that? I’m Calix.” Rabi looked up in surprise. A large white bear stood in front of her, his dark eyes looking amused. “Your at a bear-bowl. Flat-faces come look at us and giggle, weirdly enough.” Rabi raised to her paws and shook her head. “Well... thank you...... Calix.” With that, she turned around and padded away, noticing Calix’s awed expression. As Rabi reached a shiny long metal stick that extended around, she paused and looked around. No, it wasn’t just snow, ice, and water. Furless blobs stared down at her, chattering loudly. The smaller faces pointed and made sharp, loud noises while the larger ones pointed tiny boxes at her.
