Description: Into the Night Then the white bear was at the door. And before any of us could move, Rose had crossed to him. She reached behind a large wooden trunk that stood by the door and drew out a small knapsack. She must have hidden it there earlier. "I will go with you," Rose said to the bear, and I watched, unbelieving, as the animal's great paws flashed and Rose was suddenly astride the bear's back as if he were some enormous horse. The white bear turned and disappeared through the doorway. Neddy let out a cry and ran after them, grabbing his coat as he went. I started after them as well, but Eugenia blocked my way. "She must go. It is her direction. Her choice." I looked to the empty doorway. I had lost everything I held dear. And there would be no reclaiming it.
