Wanderlust

Episode nine

Suddenly, there is a rustle in the bushes. The wolf turns and starts to growl at the person who followed him. It appears to be a girl, probably in her 20s. As the beast growls at her, she takes a few steps back, in fear, and throws her hands in the air. However, she doesn´t say anything, she just shakes her head, as if she is trying to say something. Then, she turns and runs away. It isn´t a good idea to just let her run back to the city like that, but the wolf is too big to sprint after her. People would notice him and start attacking. Once again, he swings the little witch on his back and is about to leave, when he hears the rustling, in the bushes, again. The girl is back, carrying some things, in her arms. It seems like she brought some material, to treat wounds. She motions something, wanting the wolf to stay. He doesn´t trust her but he doesn´t seem to have a different choice. The girl helps taking the witch off the creatures back. While doing so, she accidentally brushes against the big wound on his shoulder, to what he  responses with growling. She gently lays down the witch and gives him an excusing smile. The fact that she doesn´t talk is irritating. That she is wanting to help them, instead of killing them, is too. He sits down, but keeps a close eye on every move she does.
