Its so cold, there's snow everywhere and where am I? How did I get outside of my cave? How long have I been in deep slumber and why have I changed into a human form? I look around to see if my cave was near by but all I can see is snow covered trees and more snow on the ground. I find myself in a new area judging by the smell of the air and animals. I grab ahold of the closet tree next to me to help me stand up. Noticing animals everywhere watched me very carefully, they might help if I ask. I lose my footing and slip then fall right back down, my body feels so heavy. While laying on the cold ground I sense a bear coming over to me, it's a beautiful white that comes over gentle rolles me into it's soft back. The bear smells like pine trees, fish, and some kind of sweet flower. Its been three hours since the bear put me on its back and start walking off with me, I wonder if the bear is tired. The bear suddenly stops in its tracks and rolles me onto a pile of pine needles and snow. I could tell the bear made this spot for me but seemed a little disappointed when it saw the snow had fallen on the pine needle bed. I raise up to look out of the edge of the woods and I see a house near by. I can hear the bear ripping off some small branches and fell them being placed on me to try and keep me warm. I look up at the bear and say in a weak light voice, "Thank you very much, I hope to meet again." then the bear disappears into the shadows of the trees. Soon after the bear had left I feel smaller animals lay all over me while I slowly fall asleep peacefully.

I heard something outside, a sound that feels like it is calling me. Being curious of the sound I quickly get out of bed, turn on my lamp, put clothes on, slide my boots on, and tightly tie my laces to keep them on while I'm out in the snow. When I open the door I first look to see if an animal had gotten in one of the traps or in the trash. Didn't see anything wrong with the trash then feeling a strange breeze push against my back. I turn around towards the thick woods and see something at the edge of the woods but what is it? I pull my coat tighter to myself in attempt to keep me warmer as I start walking up to the woods slowly so I don't scare any nearby animals or anything else that's in the woods. After walking about 20 or so yards closer to what I'm looking for I can now make out a large group of small animals laying on top of something. When I finally reach about 10 yards away I accidentally step on to a stick and the loud snapping sound scares off all the small animals away. I can still see something very pale laying on the ground not moving an inch while I keep moving closer to it. As soon as I can see perfectly what it was, "It's a beautiful girl but where are her clothes!?" is what I thought to myself. She is all covered in twigs, animal fur, dirt, and melted snow. I quickly take my jacket off and cover her up then carefully pick her up in my arms. After I get steady footing I notice all the little animals that ran off were watching me closely. I turn around and start to carry her back to the house before we both freeze to death. After we got inside I slightly kick the door closed but thankfully she is still asleep. My uncle comes running down the stairs with a shotgun, "Who's there? Who's that in your arms?" he asked. "It's me Uncle Jeff, Sky I found a lost girl in the woods. Can you please go get some spare blankets and put that gun away?." I gently and carefully lay the girl down on the warm couch next to the fireplace while my uncle goes get some blankets for the both of us. I run upstairs to my room and grab some clothes for her so she can wash up and wear some clothes till I can get some woman's clothes for her. When my uncle came back he didn't ask me many questions about the girl, which I thought was weird but it is him. He laid down the gun then came over to the girl and covered her up, being careful to not wake her up. He then takes the clothes from me and shakes his head and hands them back to me. "This is a young woman, not a weird looking boy. I will bring back some of lost and found women's clothes. Thank goodness we don't have any guests staying with us right now." I hear him say in a low laughter. After setting all the women's clothes on the table next to the couch she is sleeping in Jeff pats me on the shoulder with a grin, almost looking like Santa Claus. "Goodnight kiddo and don't do anything dumb cause I'm not bailing you out of jail." I gave him a awkward look as he laughs at me then I sit down on the other couch while he goes back upstairs to sleep. I look back at this very pale girl and wonder how she was even alive. How can she sleep so soundly? I felt like a creep just sitting there staring at her so I look over at the fire then slowly start to fall asleep.

Here I go sleeping again, but this sleep feels peacefully and comforting. Dreaming of a young man holding me close to his chest while carefully carrying me. He's scent is very calming like lavender and mint, with a mix of firewood. It feels as if he is protecting me from something, maybe the cold? I want to meet this man, I want to know who he is and what he looks like. I can feel myself starting to wake up as I slowly open my eyes and see a fireplace going. Looking around more I noticed someone brought me into their home. I heard someone snoring a little loud across from me and I see a young man sleeping sitting up in his long chair. He starts coughing a little bit and wakes up looking over at me. Scratching the back of his head while looking at me with soft eyes, "How are you feeling? Are you cold? Hungry? Thirsty? There is some clothes for you and if you want to shower I can show you where it is." he said in a low but calming voice. I'd look towards him and shyly say, "I-Is is ok if I washed myself before anything? I feel bad for getting everything dirty." he slowly gets up and holds his right hand out to me to help me up. I weakly grab ahold of his hand and lets him help me stand up, holding what I can with my free hand to cover myself. He walks me over into the washroom and awkwardly says, "This is bathroom and here is the shower/bathtub combo. Here's the toilet for you to do your business.". He sets the clothes he has for me on the sink after showing everything in the bathroom and how everything works. "If you need me I'll be in the kitchen making you something to eat and drink. Take your time and be careful." I nod my head to him so knows I can understand him then he shuts the door behind me, leaving me alone to do what I need to. I put the shower to the right temperature then set his jacket and the blankets into the dirty clothes basket he shown me. After pulling all the pine needles and fur off of me and putting it in the trash can. I take caution adjusting the water temperature and hold my hand out to feel the water, it's is just right for me to go in. While I'm washing my body I get a very sad reminder of all the scars all over it. I finish cleaning myself off and grab the towel thats hanging off the hook next to the shower then start drying off quickly. I don't mind being naked but I'm in stranger's home and I don't want to give the wrong impression. I go over to the sink counter and put on the clothes carefully so I don't rip them. The long skirt is warm and soft with pretty blues. The long sleeve shirt was also warm and soft though the neckline almost shows the top on my beasts. I move the front on my hair over the shirt to the men from seeing my cleavage. Looking in the mirror I see how long my hair has gotten, seeing how it's now mostly white and not a lot red. I come out of the bathroom and the man walks over to me and asks, "Do you eat meat or only vegetables? I made pork chops and salad in case you prefer one over the other. There is fruit juice in a cup for you and when your done eating I'll wash the dishes then show you to your room.". I nod at him and shyly say, "Thank you very much Sir, your too kind." he just smile and pulls a chair out for me. I sit down at the table and awkwardly pull all the food towards me while my stomach growls loudly. Feeling embarrassed I try to hide my face while I eat as I hear him walk to the other side of the table and glance up to notice he is watching me eat. It don't feel strange with him watching me eat, it actually feels a little comforting. After I finish eating everything he stood up and took all the dishes away to clean them off. "Alright, let's get you to your new room so you can rest. Did you enjoy the food? I'm not that great of a cook but this is my best." He says to me with a soft smile then I give him a weak smile back an follow him to the steps. "I really enjoyed the food, that was the first thing I've ate in a very long time." I left up my shirt enough so I can walk up to the stairway with him in front of me. After going up two stairways he walks me down a hallway and shows me to the bedroom on the far right end then shows me his room is across from mine "If you need anything please knock on my door anytime. I would say you could knock Jeff's door but he's a cranky old man when he's woken up." We say goodnight to each other and go into our rooms. I walk over to the bed and crawl into it thinking, "These are kind people, I will do what I can to repay them. First, proper sleep." I slowly fall asleep while my body relaxes.

The moment she had woken up from sleeping on the couch I was so relieved and wanted to ask her all kinds of questions. I knew it wasn't time and I need to take care of her till she's ready to tell me what happened to her. While she was eating I occasionally looked over to see if she needed anything but before I knew it she had finished everything off. I've never in my life seen someone eat that much in such a short period of time. I was going to ask if she was still hungry and if she enjoyed her shower but I could tell she was very tired. The clothes my uncle Jeff picked out for her looked really nice on her but I could tell she was using her long hair to cover chest. I can't blame her for doing so, she is in a stranger's house after all. Might need to tell Jeff that we shouldn't walk around in boxer shorts while she stays here. Don't want to make her uncomfortable or give off the wrong impression. After she had finished eating I took her dishes and started washing then then putting them out to dry. I kept thinking to myself, "Try making small talk, stop being a creep! At least tell her your name. Come on! You can talk to girls, don't make things feel awkward for her." but all I end up doing was showing her to the room she'd be staying in. I could tell she wasn't in the mood to talk much so I just made a little small talk then let her be and said goodnight to her then went to my room. I don't want to seem like I'm hovering over her so I just gave her some space. I think we're going to have to buy more groceries though, she's so skinny and looks so fragile. Jeff, knowing him he might try slipping some animal fat into the meat for her to gain some weight back. Now that I really think about it, I still don't know her name but I have noticed her eyes change colors. From a calm sky blue to a blue green, I wonder if that's a good thing or bad. I will admit, she is very beautiful and have very nice curves. Wait what am I thinking? Ugh, I'm such a weirdo for thinking such things. Tomorrow I'll be more of a gentleman and have better manners. When I held her up in my arms and stood near her, my heart pounds in my chest so much it almost hurts. "Tomorrow morning I will do better and show her around more since she seems like she has lost all memory of things. I hope she's sleeping well, speaking of sleep I should hit the hay myself." I say to myself then turn the lamp next to my bed off and lay down.

The young man who saved me has a very kind heart, even his very soul feels so pure and caring. I can trust him and Mr. Jeff since they don't have any ill intentions towards me. "In my dream I'm running in the woods, running and screaming, crying for help. What is happening to me? So much pain, the overwhelming feeling of fear! Something is coming for me I can just barely feel it's claws trying to grab my hair! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming!" I wake up frighten and crying in the young man's arms. He holds me closely and holds my head in to his left shoulder. "What happen? Did something try to hurt you? Shhhhhh everything is going to be alright, your safe. Shhh calm ok take a deep breath, ok?" He says to me in a very worried voice. All I can think of is to cling to him tightly till I start to calm down. After a few minutes I make myself calm enough to speak even though I'm still a bit shaken up. "I hope I didn't wake up Mr. Jeff I don't want him angry with me." I say feeling a little disappointed with myself for waking him up. "Oh, no he's still out like a light. He snores pretty loud but it's a good thing I'm a light sleeper. Are you sure your ok?" He gently lifts my chin up so he can look me in the eyes. He's so handsome and I can feel his strong arm muscles start to relax around me. "I-I'm alright, just a bad dream. I don't think I'll be able to sleep anytime soon, sadly. I'm very sorry for waking you up." He puts a small blanket around me and offers me his left hand then says, "Would you like to come back down stairs with me? I honestly wasn't really sleeping anyways, plus I'm a night owl so I'm always awake at night." I nod my head to him and say, "I would really appreciate it, thank you for staying with me." I take his hand and he slowly helps me off the bed, holding the blanket he lend to me to keep warm. When we got down the stairs he went to get me a glass of ice water then handed it to me. "So...would you like to watch some TV while you relax? I can show how to use it and stuff, it's not that hard." He asks me with a light smile. "This TV you speak of, is it a form entertainment? Will it really help me calm down and relax?" I ask him out of curiosity. "Well depends on what you want to watch. So you really don't know what a TV is? Hmm, well let's go sit on the couch together and see what we can find to watch." He suddenly gets a sweet calming smile as he looks down at me. I should tell him my name so things won't be so awkward. I let my hair fall and shield my face to hide my slight blushing. With a nervous voice I tell him, "M-My name is Moona, nice to meet you Sir and again thank you both for caring for me." I quickly hide my face into my hands feeling my blood fill up my face making me blush even more. After a few seconds I peak at him from the side and to my surprise he looks so happy. I can see his eyes lighting up as if he was the happiest man in the world. "Moona, I'm very happy to finally be able to meet you properly. I should of said who I was first so you wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. I'm Sky, it's very lovely to meet you to Moona. Very beautiful name for a very lovely young lady." After he said all that I thought I was going to die from blush overload! I've never in my life heard a man say such kind words to me, m-maybe him and I really can become good friends. My heart, it feels so tight from pounding so hard while I was blushing so hard. I need to calm down before I make a full of myself in front of him. "Moona are you ok? Your face is so red you sure your not sick?" He ask me with a little worry in his eyes. "I-I'm alright just excited to learn more about about this TV you speak of." Giving him an awkward light laugh. "Well you can take your pick of which side of the couch you want so you can decide on the view of the TV you want to watch it from." He then walks me over to the couch he was sleeping in when I first woke up here. He pointed out the TV is above the fireplace and how the couch faces it directly. It looks like the couch has four sets to it but I picked the one on the far right side so he can have the spot he sat in last time. He then brought another blanket from a small closet under the stairs and wraps it around me. I feel so warm and comfortable now, even the ice water he gave to me taste so refreshing. He sits down next to me and shows me how to use the TV and all the things called remotes. We came to an agreement on a wildlife show. He would of let me watch anything I wanted to but most of the shows playing were scary movies from what he told me. I'm not ready for any terrifying shows or movies yet, at least not after a nightmare. While watching the animal show I take a quick look around the big house they have. "Your home is very large for just two men. Is there more people here? I heard something about guests, is this a fancy brothel or Inn?" I ask him but when I look at him he seem to of choked on his water. I quickly pat his lower back hoping that will help him cough up the water. After a few minutes he chuckle and said, "I'm not sure where your from but those kind of things don't exist anymore around here, the brothels that is. This is a bed and breakfast Inn but we haven't had any guests lately because of the weather. Your free to stay as long as you like, just gotta help out with chores.". He lightly chuckles with a silly smile then goes back to watching TV. While we sat there watching the animal show for a few hours I lay my head on his left shoulder and slowly fall asleep with a calm smile.

While I was laying in bed about to go to sleep I heard the girl in the other room making a lot of noise. I thought she might of fallen out of bed or sleep walking. I got out of bed and bring my small blanket with me that Jeff got me when I was a kid and speed walk into her room. I know I should of knocked before going into a woman's room but I started to hear very light crying from her door. She looked so horrified and scared I had to quickly wake her up. I tried calling out to her, "Ma'am? Ma'am? Can you hear me? You need to wake up. Come on, please wake up.". When I moved my arms behind her back to hold her she had woken up trying to collect herself and remember where she was. I don't want to ever see her like this again, this crushed my heart in more ways then one. Her eyes were all dark and cloudy as if a storm was released inside her eyes. At that moment I realized innocent she seems. After talking her into coming downstairs for some TV she then tells me how thankful she is and even tells me her name. I wish I told her my name first, that must if been awkward for her. She does have a very lovely name though, I wonder what her full name is. I'll wait till she's more comfortable with me to tell me more about herself. A few hours have passed since we've been watching the animal show and I notice Moona had already fallen asleep on my shoulder. I very carefully wrap my arms under and around her to lift her up to carry her back to bed. I lay her down quietly on the bed then cover her with a warm blanket. Before I can take one step I feel a tug on my sleeve and hear, "Please don't leave me, I don't want to be alone.". Hearing her sleep talk like that is cute but I feel sad knowing she feels like this. I gently move her hand over to her side and get up to grab the teddy bear from the other side of the room. I place the teddy next to her and lay her hand on it. She quickly starts snuggling up to it and lightly starts snoring with a faint smile. "Now time for me to lay down, can't get anything done if I'm a zombie in the morning.", I say quietly to myself. As I opened the door to my room I see Jeff sitting as the edge of my bed. He has one of those, "I'm watching you, but also want to embarrass you." look on his face. "I know I'm being creepy, aren't I?", I ask him with a sigh. He just chuckles under his breath then looks up at me, "Boy, and here I thought you were going to never grow a pair on you. I'm actually very proud of how your handling all of this. Even more happy to see you talking to a girl instead of yourself while chopping up firewood. For a little while I thought you might be into boys, not that there's anything wrong with that. I would love to see you have a bunch of little trouble makers of your own some day. You be good to that little girl, ya'hear? She can stay here if she wants to, I don't mind one bit as long you behave yourself.". I quickly hide my blushing face into my shirt and plop on to my bed next to him.
