He closed his eyes beep beep beep
He opens them and he's suddenly back in his bed? Now he's confused... He was just attacked by like a creature and now he's back in his BED?! Maybe it was a dream? But it felt so real. Well, Leon just shook it off as a dream even though he was weirded out. Anyway he left for his shift and saw Oliver. "Hey Leon how's it going? I'm going to the arcade with a couple of friends you wanna join?" Leon was now extremely confused and said "Didn't you ask me this yesterday?" Oliver said "No?" Leon just said "Oh, I'm not gonna join you guys can go" "Oh ok" This felt like Déjà vu, because Leon is pretty sure he asked this yesterday. "Hey Leon, stop standing there, come on" "Yea coming". He finished his shift and went back home changed and went to the kitchen and saw the exact same scene with all the things on the floor and the window broken. He checked the guest bedroom again and saw the exact same lump now he's freaked out. Although this time he took the horn, went to the room and blew it.
The lump moved, screamed and got out of the bedsheet, the same creature came out and ran towards him again, and jump scared him and attacked him. He closed his eyes again and he felt his bed and just like last time he was back in his bed. Leon decided to take a day off and called and his boss, because he wanted time to think about this, he didn't want to tell anyone cause people might think he's just crazy, he wanted to figure this out on his own. Now, he had time to think, well he figured out a few things. It seems as though when the creature attacks him he returns back in his bed, it's almost like he dies and the bed is like his respawn point like a game.... Leon had his fair share of video games to figure this out. He waited till the time his shift usually ends, went downstairs saw the same scene and things again and went to the guest bedroom and saw the lump. This time instead of searching for weapons he went to the bed empty handed to try a passive approach. He removed the bedsheet and saw the creature again except it didn't attack him. They both stared at each other for a while and the creature smiled :) , it was happy.
After a while a sentence appeared above Leon's head it said: <<A New Friend >> it's an achievement.
It seems as though the creature likes him, now he assumes that in this game he might need to maybe help the creature or do something to finish the story so he can go back home, but now he doesn't know what to do next. So he asked "Do you have a name?" It said shook its head saying no. "Ok then I'll give you a name, is that okay?" It nodded "Ok well you have silver fur so maybe hmm Snow? I know it's a simple name but I can't think of anything else. Are you okay with that name?" It nodded "Ok cool, do you want anything like food?" It nodded again "Ok come on" They went to the kitchen and it pointed at the fruit basket at the apple, Leon too the apple and gave it to Snow. He ate it. "Hey do you know where you came from? Because you're definitely not from around here" Snow took a piece of paper and some color pencils and drew a forest but it didn't look like any forest it looked prettier and magical and it was blue.
A mission came above Leon's head: <<Find Snow's home>>
