Lykaon (On hold)

Dog or Wolf Ch.1

"Mom. When are we going to be there?" I ask my hazel orange eyes landing on her. Today they decided to be more orange than hazel.

"Soon Kyra." My mom says and turns her beamers on after the passing car goes by. Its night time now and raining I was tired and couldn't wait to sleep even if it was hardwood floor till tomorrow. I couldn't wait to get to the new place and start a new life this time hiding my eyes since people loved to make fun of me for it and being small doesn't help I'm only four foot eleven inches I'm small but curvy and tan. I Have brown-black hair with natural red stripes. My mom says I make people jealous because most of them were skinny and had nothing I just thought it was a sense of power that bullying me gave them.

The car suddenly swerved before righting itself and stopping I look at mom past my hair which flung into my face from the force of the swerve, to see if she's okay. She looks at me when I look back knowing she's okay. I see and very large shadowy creature and open the car door heading towards the animal. My mom screams at me for no use and tells me to get back from it. I still run up to it only to hear small whimpering of pain coming from it I kneel down and take a look at it. A dog a giant one at that has multiple bite wounds and scratches on its black fur streaked with blood.

"Mom grab a blanket or towel from the back!" I scream and notice the giant animals head move to look at me. Its eyes are bright silver and when they land on me they widen and turn pitch black before going back to normal. my mom brings the towel and blanket from the car setting the towel on me she also has the umbrella and puts it over me.

"Help me carry him to the car." I don't have to look at her to know she's looking at me like I have four heads.

"One are you insane this thing is probably wild, two how do you know it's a boy?" I look at her with blazing eyes I don't know why I'm getting mad but I can't just let the animal die it's not right.

"No, I'm not. I'm not letting this animal die either mom." I say and wrap the blanket around him,"now help me please." I say with desperation in my voice. She huffs and turns towards the car getting in and backing it up some. I put my hand on his thick fur petting it than getting up and opening the back door.

"Okay, now we are going to have to help him walk or at least partially walk to the car and get him in mom." I say and walk to one side of him,"Okay bud we are going to help you get up but you have to help a little okay?" He looks at me and nods as if he understood. Odd. My mom gets on the other side and we each put an arm under his ribs. Lifting him we help walk this giant animal to the car and lift a bit higher getting him into the back seat. I get in with him laying his giant head and putting it on my lap. He purrs a bit then closes his eyes. I put my hand on his head again and notice that even in rain slick condition it's super soft. My mom starts driving a bit faster so we can get home faster.

When we pull up I instantly lift his head and place it down on the seat I then get wait for her since she went to open the door. We do the same thing we did to get him in the car to get him out and walk him into the two-story house to the bathroom on the first floor. We set him down, I go get a washcloth to clean him up a bit to rid him of the blood, dirt, and leaves. I did the best I could by getting his wounds clean he had a deep bite mark on his shoulder being the worse one there I went to the car again, got bandages, wrapped one around his shoulder which was quite hard and was done. By the time all that was over with he was looking at me in a sort of thank-you way it was still odd how this dog or now that I look at him, he looks more wolf than dog, acts like he understands what I'm saying.

"It's staying in my room tonight mom," I state firmly while looking up at her in a pleading way.

"Kyra this thing is probably a rabid animal. I think it's best to send it back on its way. My turn to look at her like she has four heads.

" Do you not see how tired and injured he can barely walk on his own. I'm not sending it out there only to be dead tomorrow mom." I say and cross my arms," now please help me get him up to my room." I really love my mom I just wish she realized that I just wanted to help him and not put harm to myself. I really also want to figure out why this animal seems to have human characteristics. My mom finally relents after a minute of begging and we each get on either side of him and do the same thing we did the past two times. It took about ten minutes to get him up the stairs and into my room, I told my mom to wait by the door and went to grab the boxes with blankets and pillows I set them all down on the ground four blankets a lot of pillows. That should be good for tonight. I go back to my mother and help her walk him to the makeshift bed and lay him down. I look at his eyes and see silent thanks again.

"Well I'm going to go to bed but if I hear screams I'm going to grab a knife and kill that beast." My mom says and turns around heading to her bedroom. I do the same and did my pj's going to the ensuite and changing and going back out to lay on the ground. Wolf as I will now call him takes up a lot of space so I might as well lay on the ground tonight. I steal a small blanket and a pillow, I go to lay down but hear a small whimper. I look at wolf to see him look at me questionably.

"What? You took up all the space. You do realize your huge right?" I say and shake my head. I'm officially going crazy talking to a wolf. He starts moving around making room for me I'm assuming.

"You're a very sly animal aren't you," I state more than asking. He gives me Wolfy smirk and keeps moving. I sight and move a bit closer, "you eat me and I will cut open your gut and kill you from the inside out." I say and lay down. now that he's clean he looks a lot better his fur black so black it has blue and purple streaks in it. He's not bloody anymore and his wounds are bleeding.

"are you a dog?" I sound like a crazy person but I wanted to know very badly. He shakes his head and stops moving when I'm closer to him.

"Are you a wolf then?" I ask stupidly I should have used common sense but I have tired the animal shakes his head yes. I knew I picked a good nickname," Then from now on, I will call you wolf or wolf." I state tiredly and lay my head down on the one pillow I have. I then feel something soft under my head and know it's not my pillow I look up and see I'm laying on the wolf's unscathed side.

"I should be afraid of you-you know." After I say that I hear a whimper and wolf shift a bit so he can put his head in front of me while rolling into a ball like position. While my head was still on his side. He licks my nose as if to say that he means no harm. Closing my eyes I smile at wolf and fall asleep with warmth and a fluffy dog by me.
