Third Person P.O.V

The young girl waited as his head slowly looked up at her... the first thing she saw... was his kind smile. He looked so battered, yet he was still able to smile like that. His gray eyes stared up at her and they looked so... broken. They were dull and lifeless.

?????: "A... lost child? Do you need help, Little One?" he asked kindly.

The young girl was a bit surprised by his reaction but quickly shook her head.

?????: "No... I live nearby. I was just worried when I saw the... blood." she admitted.

The teenage boy looked confused before understanding what she meant. Subconsciously, he lifted his hand up to his wound and touched it before letting out a chuckle. The bite was deep as blood continued to slowly leave his body.

The young girl was surprised that the teenage boy didn't flinch from the pain nor looked all too concerned by the wound.

?????: "Hehehe... No need to worry about me, Little One. I'll be fine." he tried to reassure her as he stood up.

She watched as they stood up with little issue as he kept smiling.

?????: "It was my fault. I'm not familiar with the area and stumbled onto wolf territory." he confessed.

?????: "You... should really go home, Little One. It will be night soon and monsters will soon come out." he told her.

?????: "What kind of monsters?" she asked.

?????: "Creatures that feed on mana and creatures with a jet-black appearance and red eyes... but it looks as if my "friends" found me." he warned.

The teenage boy looked away from the young girl and she followed his gaze. Her eyes widened as she saw a pack of wolves moving in their direction.

Startled, the young girl took a step back. The teenage boy smiled sadly as he noticed this from the young girl... he would have to act.

?????: "Close your eyes, Little One and all will be well." he declared from behind her.

The young girl heard his words and wasn't sure if she should listen to them or call for her friend to protect her... but... in the end... she listened.

?????: "Hehehe... Good... now. Did I not tell all of you to leave?" he asked.

The sounds of the wolves only grew louder as the young girl began to panic.

?????: "Oh dear... this will not do at all. I warned you and yet... hehehe... you did not listen." he spoke.

The young girl could only hear the sounds of metal and cries of the wolves for a moment before silence.

?????: "All is well." was all he said.

The young girl opened her eyes and saw that the wolves were gone. Their footprints were on the snow and yet there was nothing. No remains, no blood, nothing. It was as if they were... spirited away.

She looked back at the young boy to see him with his eyes closed smiling down at her.

?????: "Hehehe... Do not worry, Little One. You are safe now." he told her.

?????: "Who... are you?" she asked.

?????: "How fortunate that you asked me a question I can answer. My name is (Y/n)." he said.
