" Common enemy..."
I muttered to myself quietly everyone are all asleep except for me. It the novel the enemies of mankind are Vampires and Demons, the Mage and Werewolves are neutral since they had a peace treaty with Ulric Salvien after the great war wages
I really wish I could go home right now
A howl broke down into my thoughts, I turned my head at the exit of the tent
" _t's time for you to go back kid, tonight where the common enemy of men roam in the depths of the forest_"
The only common enemy of men in the forest are Werewolves. They are known as ferocious and territorial warriors in the night but they are also more dangerous in day according to the novel
'Help...'
"Huh?!" I spunned my head around, did I heard someone or it's just my imagination. Eversince I got into this, I've always hearing things lately
'Help..'
Looking at outside of the tent, a blue illuminating light floating in the mid air ' Help...' it said through out my head ' Please help....'
'AGH! LEAVE ME ALONE!'
Burying my head on the pillow, that thing is a wisp . A wondering spirit, it said they only appear to a person that is currently lost on it's way through the forest. It was believed to be the souls of the creatures who lives in the forest
it's just an imagination.....yes imagination! A fucking part of a damn hocus pocus!
At that moment, I've never heard the voice again. I've felt relieved and then I lifted my head a little to see if it's gone
'Help....'
"GAHHHHH!!!!!! GO AWAYYY!!!" I shouted as Sister Sussana rushed towards to me, looking so warily as she lightened the lamp " What's wrong child?"
I looked around for the wisp that is nowhere to be found " A nightmare?" She asked
" I...I saw a wisp...Sister Sussana..."
The nun smiled as she caressed my cheek " Nothing to be afraid of the wisp, they only appear as our guide out of the darkness. If you ever seen one, you should follow it. A wisp will lead you to the right path" she said softly
The right path.....
After then, I've tried to sleep but I can't....this world isn't gonna let me blink an eye without getting myself in trouble, maybe if I go out for a walk will make me feel sleepy perhaps
I glance at the sleeping nun beside me, and exited the tent
It was very quiet outside where I could only hear the sounds of small animals: croaking, criping and hooting....
It's been a long time since I've gone on a camping site, if it wasn't for the moon. It would be so dark and creepy to go outside until then the annoying wisp appeared in front of me
"Ugh....you again..."
'Follow....me..' the wisp whispered
I feel hesitation at that moment, but then according to sister Sussana that the Wisp are guides to the right path, maybe this would lead me back to my homeworld
As the wisp hovers inside the deep forest, with its illuminating light, it's not too hard to see in the dark. As I followed the wisp in the depths of the forest, I couldn't see the camp anymore.....
I clutched into my shirt tightly, I didn't even say goodbye to Sister Sussana and the others, but I need to get home as soon as possible
" Awwwoooooooooo..."
Stopping from my track as soon as a low howl of pain coming near by to me, I hid behind the thick bark of the pine trees and glance at the small den where the moonlights shine at the beautiful white wolf, lying on the ground and my eyes spotted a large claw mark on his leg, he was bleeding and I can feel it in every howls he make
'Help....him....' the wisp whsipered before dissappearing in the mid air
"Awwwooooooooo....."
I couldn't bear to watch the poor wolf to howl until he bleed out to death, but there are chances that he might sprang at me and eat me.....but right now....
" Ah shit!" I cursed out as I emerged out from my hiding place and stride to the injured wolf
The wolf turned to me and starts growling as he tried to stand up but flopped on the ground since his injured leg was shot and unable to maintain his balance
"It's alright...I won't hurt you...."I said, raising my both hands in the air and stopping one meter away from him, shit I'm so scared of being eaten by a large animal like this one
Kneeling with one leg before the wolf, according to the animal kingdom series I've watched when I was on my former life, never show fear and show directly in the eye of the animal in front of you....
I don't know about that shit if it's true, but let's see if it will work
The wolf stopped growling loudly as I held out my hand in front of him, and looked down as I started to mutter about my last prayers
The wolf's eyes stared at me as then he sniffed on my hand which caused me to be surprisingly relief, as the wolf laid his head down on the ground but he never leaves his eyes on me
"Alright! Let's do this ....."
Luckily the river stream is near by the den, ripping the small part of my long skirt to wrap it on his injured leeg, the wolf is silently watching me. I felt that somehow it's a bit awkward, I don't know how to describe but he always watches me
He didn't growl just only observe me every second maybe he is having some trust issues with humans well can blame the poor fellow, he maybe ran into some humans and got injured.
My eyes glance at his soft white furry ears, I feel some urge that I wanted to touch it, as the I tried to reached his ear. He starts to snarl which made me retracted my hands quickly
"Sorry...its just your ears are so damn cute, I just felt an urge to touch them" I said, holding my hands up both together
The wolf suddenly stops snarling like he understood what I've just said then he looked away
I sighed in relief thought that he was going to pounce on me
" You may touch them "
