Chapter 3

I walked down the street. I didn't like looking like a human. It felt so weird. I was limping for the run from the guards had caused me to run into some stuff when I turned the corner and it had cut my leg. No one seemed to notice. They were to busy with there everyday life.

I was a white male with black hair. My eyes were still amber colored. Just like a wolf. I wore a yellow T-shirt and blue pants. I thought it was a weird thing for me to get as a human to wear. I didn't think it fit just right for me.

I wondered what was I going to do now. The city was surrounded and I was a wolf. The odds didn't look good. I didn't want to stay in my human form. Maybe I could fool some kid into taking me home with them so I could lie and wait for it to be over. I knew I was faster and stronger than the humans but I didn't want to confront them. I wanted them to just think it was a scared stray dog.

I would have to find the perfect human though. One that would not see me as a wolf and as a stray dog. Then they would take me in and protect me. I spotted the girl from the other day. The one that had given me the meat. I walked into a nearby alley and went back to being a wolf. I walked up to the girl and put my head under her hand. She looked at me.

"Well hello there little guy" I whined for further affect. "Well what are you doing on you own. Don't you have a mom" My mom. My mom I remembered was poisoned. She didn't make it past the first day. This caused me to whine even louder. "Oh you don't have a mom any more do you. Neither do I. I know I can take care of you. I saw what happened the other day with those crows. I felt bad for you and then I stumbled and dropped the meat. I guess it was fate that brought us together" She neeled down, "Now you wouldn't be that wolf would you" I was shocked but acted calm. "Oh I know you aren't. How could you be. Wolves are mean and nasty. Your nice and cuddly"

Then she bought what she was buying at the stand that she had be waiting at. Then we walked off.

A few minutes later we were at her 'home'. It was just an alley with a medium wooden box in it. The box was her home. It could have fit two or three adult wolves in there so there was just enough room for us. We climbed in and she brought out what she had bought. It was three pieces of meat. She handed one to me. I ate it right away. The other two she cooked. Then she ate the one and stored the other for later.

"Well what do you think. It's not all that but it's probably better then in between those piles of wood" It was slightly warmer inside the box then it was outside and if it rained we were out of it. I felt safe for now so I lade down and rested.


The next day I woke up the girl wasn't there. But I did hear some of the guards and I quickly turned into a human. The two guys walked right past me and didn't even glance. I was relived. I stood up and stretched. I wanted to walk around a bit. My legs were aching to run. I wasn't used to being around humans this long. It was usually a day or two and I was gone. I heard a sound behind me and I turned around. Standing there was the girl.

"Well hi" She said.

"Hi" I said.

"You haven't seen a white dog have you" she asked as she peered inside the box.

"Oh yeah he walked off that way. I think we was worried about the two guys"

"Well what can you expect. He's a stray. He's probably doesn't like humans very much"

"Yeah, that makes sense"

"Well anyways my name is Sasha"

"Well my name is Lisk"

"Nice to meet you"

"Ah you to. Well I got to go. If I see your dog I will send him back to you OK?"

"OK"

Then I walked off. I turned back to my wolf form and waited a bit. Then I walked back over to the box. She was sitting in it and was glad to see me. That day she kept me there. She tied a piece of rope around my neck and tied it to a bar. She didn't want me to disappear and get lost is what she said. It did me good for along the day several guards passed me and noticed the rope so they assumed I was a dog. So far so good.
