Never-borough

Chapter One

Oliver
When I saw the shoreline my arms felt heavier than ever. I had been rowing for a week. I left The Capital with one crate full of canned beans, some old clothes, a fishing rod and a satchel with my grandpa's watch and a map in it. I didn't have a lot to begin with when I went to The Capital so I don't have a lot now. I don't necessarily need a lot. I really just wanted some peace and quiet which is why I came to Never-borough. I heard that Lycans, Vampires and Satyrs lived there. I sent a letter to the ranger of the island and he found me a little cabin to live in. I was really just excited to fish and hike. I heard Never-borough has some of the best views. My grandpa painted this beautiful picture of the view from the highest point on Never-borough.

The boat crashed onto the sandy shore. I got out of the boat and I tried to carry the crate but it was too heavy. My arms hurt so bad from rowing. I sighed and took out the map of Never-borough the ranger mailed to me. I was studying it when someone tapped me on the shoulder.

It was a normal morning in Never-borough. Well morning for me because I usually don't get up until lunch time. I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes and the sound of birds chirping. I mean I'm not complaining because Never-borough is a beautiful place but nothing new ever happens. I got up and my mom was there with breakfast. She has dark grey fur with white down her front and is muscular. She wears dark blue dress pants and a white button up shirt.

"Good morning sleepyhead" she said with a bright smile.

"Morning" I replied. She handed me some cooked rabbit.

"Thank you" I said scarfing it down.

"Where are you off to today?" She asked like she didn't already know.

"I think I'll go down to the bay first then to Shuk's".

"Wonderful. Be back by dusk." She says that everyday.

I walked through the forest to the path that leads all around Never-borough. I have walked it many, many times. It doesn't take me very long before I'm walking down the path to the bay when I see someone row a boat onto the shore. I stop and watch them. They had their back turned to me. They were wearing a hat with a bird feather on it, a bow and arrows, cape, gloves and very plain brown clothes.  I don't think I've seen them before. They struggled with a crate before giving up and start looking at a map. I walked up to them and tapped them on their shoulder.

I spun around to see an albino Lycan with amber eyes. They were wearing some ripped black jean shorts, chunky black goth belt, a faded pink cropped top, and a red plaid shirt with not one button done up. I could feel heat go to my face.

"I'm sorry" they giggled. "I didn't mean to startle you".

"Oh! Please, don't worry."I said, very flustered. They giggled again.

"Well. I'm Y/N." They held out their hand. I tucked the map under my arm and shook their hand.

"I'm Oliver Steele. It's a pleasure to meet you".

Y/N
Oliver's skin was very pale when he wasn't a flustered mess and he had shoulder length brown hair. He looked like he could be my age. He talked with such a soft, gentle tone.

"Are you new here?" I asked.

"I am. I'm actually moving here." He replied.
