Chereads / The Chill of the Summer Sky / Chapter 4 - Lost and Found

Chapter 4 - Lost and Found

I packed the necessary things: sleeping bag, cloths, matches, rags, canned beans, bread, chocolate, flashlights, extra shoes, my favorite stuffed toy, and some bottled water and a water filter straw. I put on a sweater with a thin shirt underneath, some blue jeans with volleyball shorts underneath, some socks, and hiking boots. I grabbed my jacket and left, leaving a noat of explanation to my sister and parents... I felt bad simply leaving, but I knew that they would forbid it, and I needed to follow my instincts. I walked towards the forest and let Destiny lead me through the dense wood and only stopped to rest when she told me to. About 2 days later, I arrived in a clearing one that Destiny was happy to see. After this, I spotted a kid hiding behind a rock... When he realized that it was just a little girl, he came out. he looked to be around my age, so I smiled at him slightly and said, "Hello... My name is Sky... Where am I?"

He looked shocked and looked around before dragging me to a cave... Okay, weird... slightly over aggressive.... "Do you by chance know anyone that can like... turn into a big dog? I don't know... Weird question..." And he looked more shocked... he shocked me by leading me through the cave faster and into a large room... like a intrance to a hotel kind of... I am so confused... well... I am a wolf girl... following her wolf instincts... to find her potential wolf family/ community... yes... I guess I am crazy. I continued to be dragged by this unknown boy into a large, circular room. In the center of the room was a large desk and a large man... who looked a lot like the unknown boy. He looked up with a sigh and saw me. He looked surprised, then at my hand, still intertwined in his, and he spoke in a shocked tone,"Faunus, son, who is this? And why have you brought her to my office as if she is either the love of your life or a prisoner?" He finally spoke, "Father, I am sorry for intrupting you, I found this girl in the woods, she said that her name is Sky, she seemed lost and harmless, and asked if I knew any werewolves, not in those words, but still." I was now even more confused.... " what is a werewolf?" I asked cautiously, causing them to gasp. "My dear girl," spoke Faunus's father, "a werewolf is a human species that has the ability to become a wolf, and who has a fated mate, or romantic partner. On a young wolf's 12th birthday, they shift into a wolf for the first time, and can find there fated mate after this. I am one of these werewolves, the alfa of a pack of them actually, why, pray tell has a lovely little girl such as yourself come searching for us while not knowing what we are?" I thought for a second before replying, " when I was a baby, I was found in the woods by the people I call my family, yet recently, on my ninth birthday that is, my inner person, Destiny, told me that it was time for her to lead me to my destiny, I than became a wolf. After I shifted back, she told me I must go somewhere, and she led me here, or to the clearing above where I met Faunus."

The Alfa looked shocked, then left the room, shouting, "Stay there Faunus, Sky, I must inform the council of your arrival. It was sooner than we had planned!"... ok.... weird.... I have a new friend though! A new friend, my first friend!😄
