"Brian! It's us!" Laurence yelled as we reached a large gate...
"Hey guys! What happened and who the heck is that?!" A man yelled back, he stood on top of the wall and I could see that he hadn't shaved for a while... I'll never understand why all of these 'civilized' people have such weird customs! Shaving? Buying? Jobs? Lords? All so confusing! Just to be clear buying is when you rule a 'village' right? Anyway!

The metal gate opened and I entered behind the boys... With Neva at my side... I usually never go into places like this... But for some really odd reason... I felt almost 'protected' by this Laurence person... Like I could trust him in a way... We started walking through the streets... Luckily since it was so late , that no one was outside. I saw these houses lining walkways and fields... There were large towers on each corner of this place, that were all connected by those wooden and stone walls. Snow began falling softly as we approached a purple and white house? Interesting... It had two story's and a small fenced area that looked like it was made for children. But I couldn't get over the giant tree... I've seen very big trees... But this one is by far the largest...
Garroth knocked on the door and soon a woman with silky black hair, hazel eyes and very tanned skin opened it... She wore some sort of purple dress that I'm guessing is for sleeping... She was pretty? I think that's what you call it... Anyway she looked exhausted but when she saw Dante and me her eyes widened...
"What the? Oh my gosh! Come in!" Garroth and Laurence dragged Dante inside,
"What happened?!" She asked,
"We were... Uhhhhhh... Ambushed?" Laurence replied,
"By who? Zane?! And also... Who is this girl?" She asked, clearly worried... Laurence was about to answer when I cut him off,
"I attacked them thinking that they were going to hurt me... I'm not used to being around people so... I guess I'm just used to being alone?" I said, leading in the doorway... I don't think they would like it if I were enter their home after almost killing their friend,
"Understandable... But will Dante be okay?!" The woman asked,
"He will be fine, he swallowed the cure... He'll be awake in about an hour..." I shrugged. I turned on my heel and was about to start going back to the forest with Neva. I mean... Who would want me here?

"Wait! Where are you going?" The woman stopped me by grabbing my wrist,
"Back to the forest..." I replied,
"You live in the forest?"
"I have since birth... People... Like you... Sometimes refer to me as 'wild'..." I sighed as she let go of my wrist, I turned to face her,
"So... You've never had a family? Or friends? Not even a real home?" She asked, clearly concerned...
"No..." I stared at my feet... I wonder what my life would have been like if I had some of those things... But I have Neva... She's family... Right?
"That's so sad..." She said softly... I could tell that my life story was depressing her...
"I-It was nice too meet you all... Sorry about almost killing your friend and all... But I should probably be going... Neva..." I turned to my wolf, she gave a small nod before I began walking once again,
"Hey! Wait! Maybe you can stay here!" The woman ran up to me,
"You actually want me here?" I asked confused... No one has ever wanted me...
"Yeah! I mean... We could really use someone as good you with poisons and healing... And you were able to take down all of my guards at once!" That's technically not true but...
"Well I guess I could stay for... A little while... But don't expect me to stop hunting! And get a house and all that other weird stuff you people do!" I said , Neva looked like she was happy with the decision... As long as we get to hunt! The woman laughed,
"Of course not! My name is Aphmau, the lord here in Phoenix Drop." She said all happy like before sticking out her hand at me...
"Uhhhhhh... What are you doing?" I asked as I slowly pushed her hand away from me... She burst out giggling?
"Never mind! Hahahaha! Anyway... What's your name?" She asked...
"Uhhhhhhhhhh.... I... Don't... Have one?" I said,
"WHAT?!" She looked shocked...
"No one really named me so..."

Laurence walked out the door to see Aphmau trying to come up with a name for me...
"How about (says a lot of names that aren't yours)?" She suggested, but I shook my head at each one of them,
"I don't know Aph... Maybe we could call her Y/N? It suits her..." Laurence suggested... Why exactly is he so pink right now?
