quite human-looking arms and legs shouted power and sheer strength. White hair covered him from head to toe, making me think of a white version of Bigfoot.
"You… you're… the Yeti?" The words stammered out as I continued to stare at him from where I stood in the middle of the room.
"Yes. I'm the real deal." The words in English, though accented, didn't have my mouth falling open once more. Instead, the voice stunned me. Certainly I knew nothing about Yetis, but based on that voice, I would have to label he a she.
"But… you're… female?"
A smile crossed her face, making her appear a bit less threatening. "How observant." She must have noticed my sheer puzzlement as she continued. "Did you think that the Yeti was only one and only male?"
I gave a small shrug. "I don't know much about them… you… to be honest."
She twirled around the room, giving everything a onceover. "Nice taste for a bear."
For the first time, I really noticed my surroundings. Sure enough, we had flashed into the living room at the Yeti's… errr… make that Bear's home.
"You know him well?" I quietly asked. She would have to know about his home anyway to teleport us there.
She returned my shrug. "We've shared this territory for a while."
"Oh."
"It's getting a might bit toasty in here for this outfit." A blink later, she shifted and stood before me as a human. Well, obviously not human, but rather, in human form. Her shifter abilities didn't come as a total shock. She stood a bit taller than me, with much more curves and shape than I could ever possess. The deep red short dress clung just enough to flatter those dips and valleys in all the right places, while accentuating her narrow waist. Matching heels completed the outfit.
Using both hands, she smoothed out invisible wrinkles, then turned her attention back to me. "You're wondering why I grabbed you."
I nodded.
Her blue eyes lit up with her smile as she turned toward the kitchen. Shoulder-length straight blonde hair sashayed with the movement. "Basically, I got tired of listening to that brute bear slander my name. Sacrificing virgins to me in exchange for peace at the village. What rubbish." She snorted and strode off toward the kitchen.
"So what do we do now?" I slowly followed, still unsure what was happening.
She reached into a cabinet and pulled out a cardboard box. "Ah ha. I knew I smelled chocolate in here." Setting it on the countertop, she pulled out two packages of hot chocolate mix. She grabbed a nearby tea kettle, filled it with hot water, and set it on the stove. "We are going to have some hot chocolate, get all warmed up, have a nice girl chat, and wait for those bumbling clowns to come searching for you."
I headed toward the kitchen table and took a seat. She followed suit, taking the chair across from me. "I'm still not sure…"
Reaching out, she patted my hand gently. "A Yeti gets lonely up here. I haven't had another woman to talk to in months."
"Oh, okay."
"And, I couldn't resist the opportunity to get under the skin of that all too sexy Bear."
My light bulb clicked on. The lonely Yeti chose to steal me for a couple of reasons, namely to have another female to talk to for a little bit and to yank Bear's chain in the process.
"But what do I call you?"
She grinned. "By my name, of course."
"Which is?"
"Yeti." She walked over to check on the teapot.
"But I thought Bear was the Yeti?"
She gestured with her hand before reaching in another cabinet for a couple of mugs. "As I said, I'm the real deal. Bear is just a Yeti wannabe."
"Oh…"
Two hours later, we sat sipping hot chocolate, curled up on the Bear's expensive leather furniture in front of a roaring fire. Yeti turned out to be quite a woman. She told me all kinds of things. We spoke of everything from the benefits of eunuchs to Yeti survival skills.
"Damn it. Like calling would do any good…"
The angry words cut across the room as the main door flew open to allow Bear and Cannibal to enter.
