✔️Taming My Monster

8. Menace

Your PoV

"There you go." I mumbled after I finished treating the bear's foot using some herbal plants that I saw around the forest.

One of the best thing I learned in the school while growing up there is treating using limited things only. Good thing I able to apply it.

"You're not gonna eat me for helping you, are you?" I asked to the bear.

"Are you hungry? I hope you don't eat humans." I chuckled making him growl real low.

"Was that a yes?"

I looked around to find something that I could possibly give for it to eat. Not so far, I saw some edible mushrooms and got them.

"Here." I said and put it close to the bear's mouth since it can't stand still coz of its injury.

"Are you only the bear here? Where's your family?" I asked as if it will reply.

"I live with my mom. She's inside the school. I always come here but this is the first time I saw you. Are you by any chance living here since before?"

It growled as if it understood what I just asked. And for some reason, I think I understand it.

"You better go back to your family. But you should take a rest. Tomorrow, your wound will be okay. I'll just leave some food for you." I said as I stood up again to search for some mushrooms.

After minutes of searching, I walked back and it still there.

"Here. I hope that's enough."

It growled once again as it looked at me.

"You know what, you are like my new roommate. I keep talking and talking but I am not sure if you're listening. Well at least you know how to growl." I said.

Of course, you're a bear...

"I have to go. It was nice to meet you. I am glad you didn't eat me." I laughed as I smiled at it.

When I was about to go, it growled once again, as if it was calling me.

I looked back and saw that it pushed one of the mushrooms away as if it's giving me its food.

I gasped in awe as I saw its gesture. I knelt and get that mushroom that it offered.

"Thank you, I guess this start our friendship huh?" I asked makes me received another small growl.

"Wow! I wanna hug you but I'm afraid you'll eat me if I hurt your wound." I chuckled.

"I'll go now, thank you for this!"

______________

I went back to the gate using the same thing I used a while ago. I am not really worried about the bear since I know I left much food and anytime soon it will be able to walk back from where it came from.

"I wanted to name it tho, but I don't think it's a nice thing to do." I talked to myself as I walked back to the second gate.

After minutes, I decided to go back to the dorm. I used my key and as I walked in, I saw Tzuyu sleeping on her bed.

It's just 3 in the afternoon, but maybe she's tired of doing nothing.

I just decided to work on my assignments on my table and was able to finish it after a good two hours.

I checked my clock and looked at Tzuyu who's still sleeping.

"Is she planning to sleep until tomorrow?" I asked.

I shrugged it off and walked out of the room to go to the cafeteria.

On my way, I encountered something I didn't want to encounter.
