i wake up in the middle of the woods, wide eyed and scars all over my oak colored skin
i sit up, my pounding headache becoming obvious now. i blink, getting used to my surroundings.
i rub my temples, attempting to remember what the hell happened last night.
suddenly everything was comes back to me; a wolf. a black wolf, i had been bitten by it. i check my arm and yup, that was exactly where i had gotten attacked.
i laid back down, dirt clouding with the contact. with my vision slowly fading out, i fell asleep, too tired to do anything.

people talking around me. i open my glossy eyes; scrunching my face in confusion.
"is that him?"
"yes"
"oh— he's awake now"
a person with dark skin and white hair neatly braided into two low ponytails kneels down infront of me. they smile "hey, are you feeling alright?"
i sit up suddenly, accidentally smacking the guy in the jaw with my head. i gasp "are you alright? i'm so sorry"
they rub their chin, a bruise starting to form. they look at me with a light smile "ah, it's fine!"
the guy next to them glares at me, his eyes already firey with hate for me. god, how do i manage to do this to myself?
i smile sheepishly "so, where am i, exactly?"
the one with undying hate for me anwsers "you're in a house for mystical beings." i shuffle in my seat, leaning against the arm of the couch "but, what role do i play here?"
"you're a werewolf"
"a what?" i say as my voice decided to crack in the most embarrassing of moments. i mean, sure i did wake up in the middle of the woods. but what does that have to do with ME being a werewolf?
"so, what are you?" i questioned,in attempt to change the conversation. his glare only getting ever more horrifying "you don't go around asking people that" i look down, fidgeting with my pratically torn shirt "oh"
the nice one claps "well, shall we get on with names?" they inhale "i'll start. my name is lenzel."
lenzel nudges the mean guy in his side. with a sigh he says "i am dearth." lenzel grins all wide, putting his arm around dearth's waist "you can't be all dark and mysterious forever, you know"
dearth looked away, a soft flush spreading across his face. at least a flustered dearth was better than a dearth trying to laser a hole in my head with his eyes.
"oh right, my turn. i'm luke." i reach out my hand out of habit but nobody goes to shake it. embarrased, i put it down.

i head up to the bathroom with lenzel, preparing to take a bath, i take a seat on the toilet after lenzel shuts the door, "so, why can't i bathe myself again?" lenzel hums, taking off their moon earrings. "you have places you can't reach, such as your back."
"remove your clothing" lenzel says like it's not a big deal at all.
"aren't you going to too?"
lenzel shakes their head "i'm fine with getting wet like this."
i take off my all my clothes. it's kinda awkward being butt ass naked infront of someone this pretty but, what do i have to loose? besides my virginty, that is.
they turn on the shower faucet, i get in shortly after. not used to the water, i shiver. lenzel looks towards me "is the water too cold?"
i shake my head. they cup their hands under the water and splash some onto a rag, adding soap to it. they begin washing my front, careful not to agitate the in-process-of-healing scars. i still have no clue on where they came from, honest to god.
when they start making their way towards my lower back, i wince, one of the deeper scratches being around there.

when we finally finished i felt fresh and new, like, did they use holy water for bathing or something?
