Cap 1 - Meeting in the snow .
“What am I doing?” I groaned as leaned over a tree, I might feel the cold penetrating my clothes , my hands were cold beneath my gloves , white smoke water vapor mixed with some heat of my body was constantly emitted by mouth , after all I was breathless ... Where are I ? I got lost? The forest seemed endless , perhaps the snow that covered the whole environment made a false illusion all be equal , or maybe I did not want to find my way back to civilization ...
“I'm trying to kill me - laughs softly and return to walk, my feet sinking into the thick layer of snow. My laughter soon decreased . I'm really trying to kill myself? Well , for a young man with no supply venturing in a forest on the coldest nights of the year , was something that did not seem very wise to do, unless you were trying to take your life by freezing.
“I am a loser and stupid ...” I sighed , I was tired of walking aimlessly , sat next to another tree . Why would I trying to kill myself ? The timing could not be more depressing ... It was Christmas week , everyone was socializing with their families , exchanging gifts ... And me ? My parents died last year , my girlfriend , which I considered my family , a few days revealed that betray me with my best friend! That was horrible, added to this ,I was fired ... I delayed the rent of my apartment , and as a result I will be evicted ... Yes , my life does not seem to be the best , but I would not want to kill myself because of it ! I'm not a coward ... at least I should not be... My parents would be disappointed wherever they were to see me get to this point . No, I was not trying to kill myself , just wanted to get away from all those celebrations that occurred in the city , I was not part of it ... I want a little peace , then ran into the woods ... I'm beginning to think that this was not the best decision I made
“And when I made good choices or decisions?” I spoke sarcastic back stand up, I turned around I tried to see my footsteps in the snow, maybe I will return following then to the entry of the forest. Hey! I'm being smart? it would be a miracle ...
“Damn it ... “ My trail merged with other ... I walked so much? I see my steps followed in different directions ... .I look at my phone , on your screen indicating five o'clock , will be dark soon ... It would be even cooler ! And what was that ? Snowflakes fall from the sky ... Perfect ... In a little snow would cover my trail and could not find my way back .
“ Congratulations Scott !” I tried to remain calm , could not have walked so much…
Proceeded to walk faster , at least the fear caused the cold to dissipate , in part ...
Where am I ?
I can not give more to step ... I don´t feel my toes ! My feet have frozen?I try not to think about it ... I need to focus on finding the exit, however I have a feeling that I'm directing myself more and more into the woods ...
What worries me is that I start to see new tracks , footprints ... At first I thought they were mine, but now I see that feet are much larger than mine ... I followed the trail of another person ! I'm an idiot ! But that means I'm not alone ... This may indicate my salvations ! Or maybe it's another crazy desperate to commit suicide frozen ...
“No. .. He'll help me ...” I guess my mind is not working very well now , but when it worked fine ? If I had a good “mind” I would not have gone to this forest to begin with !
I stopped following the tracks of my " unknown - possibly savior" when I noticed something strange . Traces of human feet have been replaced by ... Paws? Yeah .. I could see the paws which looked like a big dog !
“There are no dogs in the woods” I whispered , my heart raced .
“N- no ... That's not possible ... I've never heard any reports about wolves for this region” I chuckled nervous... I 'm not an expert in footprints ... I'm a city boy ! I'm confused things !
I continued to laugh , really , I'm going crazy ... Laughing in the midst of a forest , surrounded by the snow almost freezing ... I'm reaching my limit . Now the tracks that was only found these mysterious paws ... my hopes of finding another human were steadily decreasing…
The snow fell more heavily , I thought I should come a storm ... Of course , things can not improve , they tend to get worse ! My legs no longer responded to me , falls, face on a fluffy pile of snow .
So that's going to die?
Someone is going to miss me ?
They say that when we are near the end a film goes through our head showing all our past ... I'm not seeing a movie , I actually thought when they would find my body ... Would they ? I imagined the scene in the summer or spring of next year some unsuspecting tourist would tip over my dead body , would scream ... And would call the police ! I would go out in the paper ... At least it would have my 15 minutes of fame ...
“ I am an idiot ...” chuckled, turned to face the sky , at least want to die seeing something beautiful . However , when I turned around ... What I saw was not so beautiful ... Front of me was a large white wolf, such as falling snow. He sniffed my body and stared at me strangely ... blue eyes seemed to examine me ... I could not speak ... I do not know if it was experienced fear or admiration for the creature , it was almost like it was mythical ... I raised my hand , I always have silly ideas , but I'm dying then I see no harm to make a last bullshit before the end... I touched the wolf , fondled him ... I waited for him to bite or even attack me , he did nothing ... He continued to watch me , seemed intrigued by my actions .
“Cute” whispered ... I felt my body become heavy, felt sleepy ...
Then I remember it's only darkness ...
Hours before ...
I breathed the cold air of the forest , I could smell the pine trees and leaves the rest of the forest in winter was one of my favorites , silent places ... Calm ... what more can you wish for?.In recent days , my life was a mess ... With the death of his father , I had to take over as leader of the pack , something that definitely I did not wanted ! Just because I am the Alpha ? Son of former leader ? There are other alphas much more competent that me in the pack ... I do not understand the decision of my father ... I'm not prepared to accept such a responsibility! Besides, being the leader must find a partner ... It seems to be part of a ritual , as my mother had said , of majority ritual ... Like I want to find someone ! For a wolf , when choosing your partner is something that will last a lifetime! Would Would waking up with that person... Hunting ... have puppies... Not ! I cannot imagine someone stuck with me in this way! I really can´t!
“ Damn ... forcing me to things I do not want !” Grumbled increasingly entering the forest , hoping that location calm down and help me think of some decision . Maybe find a solution .
Continued walking until ... Something caught my attention , the smell ... Someone was there besides myself . It would be a human ? But who would come in the forest? A hunter ? But humans were n celebrating ... What was it called? The christmas ! That was it! Normally they would not venture out there this season! 'd Be too busy partying and eating... What was a human doing here ?
From the beginning tried to ignore... After all , what do I care if a human is in the forest ? Fuck it ! However , with time spent bothering me ... He was following me ? With my hearing I could hear some of his grumbling rant ... The poor guy was lost ... I had mistaken my tracks with him ? What an idiot ! It was obvious that we had different feet ! I undressed quickly hid my clothes from behind a tree trunk , being a wolf had no problems with the cold ... Then I took my animal form , I felt my body go through the transformation that is my usual ...
Now it was a wolf ... I wandered through the forest , I tried to distance myself from that human more, maybe if he saw the footprints of wolf moved away . However , seemed that this human was dumber than I thought... Increasingly entered the forest ... He could not go back in that condition ! I started to follow him from afar ...
I watched him falling... Did he have died ? I do not understand why I was so interested in him ...
Out of curiosity I approached . The boy was laughing ? In fact, besides be a idiot he was crazy too ... He turned and faced me , I thought he will scream ... Like other humans, but what I saw in her green eyes was awe ? To my surprise he lifted his hand and touched me , I felt his caresses ... It was weird and good at the same time , no one ever touched me so off my mother ...
“Cute ... “That's what he said , soon the caresses ceased and his hand fell in the snow , his eyes closed ...
He was dying ...
What should I do? What is certain is leaving him there ... After all it was his fault he was taken that condition ! I have no obligations to help him ...
Growled ...
I felt my body back and abandoned my animal form ...
“What am I doing?” I mumbled as I grabbed the little human in half lap.
This decision is going to cause me a lot of confusion ...
