It's about 9:30 pm I'm on my way home from the office. I managed to put my article about the new author in on time and was in a good mood. I walked through the abandoned road, it was a little bumpy but it was the fastest way home. *Mew* I turn and look but there's nothing there *Fwoosh* I stop frozen in my tracks and cautiously look around. I see a hand scrunched up into a fist and I see a tail and feathers, I slowly walk up closer and closer, I take out my phone and turn the flash on as I point it in the shadows *Fwoosh!!! * Something went flying above my head and then disappeared *Bam!!! Crash!!! * I turn around and I freeze...
It's like nothing I've ever seen before there's ears, wings, tail all on a... on a m-man. As I finally came to my senses I saw that he was in pain I tried to come closer to him but he would just try to scratch at me, is hands were all cut and scratched. I had a bottle of water with me and I put it down close to him, but he just knocked it over and played with the bottle. It looked like he didn't know what it was; I slightly looked around while keeping eye contact with him. I spotted a 'bowl' and slowly backed up to get it while maintaining my eye contact with him. I went towards the bottle and he backed away. I slowly opened the bottle and poured the water into the 'bowl' and placed it down then backed up, he was a little hesitant but he went up and drank.
It was getting cold and I was worried about him, then the idea hit me. I ran home as fast as I could, changed into some track suits and got a backpack and put some food and blankets in it. I left my phone or anything that might scare him behind. I ran back and when I arrived he was in a corner shivering. I took the blanket out of my bag and tried to get close to him but he wouldn't let, so I found a sheltered spot and placed to blanket down there and also left the food there. I got out a blanket for myself and slept nearby with my face in the direction of where I had placed his blanket.
When I woke up I looked straight ahead to see that the food and the blanket were exactly as I had left them. I felt strangely warm considering it was autumn, but when I tried to move I couldn't. I froze; the guy that I had found was sleeping behind me and hugging me he looked so at peace and relaxed when he was sleeping so I stayed like that and tried not to wake him. A short while later he woke up in a daze yawned and stretched. I lifted up my hand to his head when I placed my hand on his head he flinched but didn't run away. Soon after he laid his head on my lap as I continued to caress his hair. His stomach was growling so I softly got up and brought the food then put it in front of him, but he just looked at the food then back at me in confusion, I took a piece of the food and made the motion with my mouth for him to open his mouth. When he opened his mouth I placed the food into his mouth. He ate it and his face brightened up.
He opened his mouth for more and I fed it to him all. I needed to get back home to clean the house a bit. I patted his head and started to walk away *Mew* I looked back to see him right behind me. I tried to tell him to stay but he just continued following me. He followed me all the way home then he froze and smiled, he ran onto the grass and started rolling around on it. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. I went inside while he was playing and I brought him some more food. This time when he saw the food he automatically opened his mouth, I put the food in his mouth and he ate it but with the next piece I took his hand placed the food in his hand then moved his hand to his mouth for him to eat it. It seemed that he couldn't talk so I didn't know his name (if he had one), so I needed to give him one. "I can't just keep saying 'you' he needs a proper name"
