The True Beast

Nobody's Home

Lost now with no one to find me. Not like they would want to anyway. My family left me for dead when I was two. I am seventeen now and living in the mountains far away from any humans. I was raised by all creatures, they are my family. After a while my wolf leader had taught me to speak in every know human language. Today is the day I set out to be with humans.
I travel naked due to not owning any clothes. I come across a cabin and there lives an elderly woman. She notices me and offers me clothes and a place to stay. Her scent was nice and calming as the clothes she gave me were actually very nice. They are in a bag for now. I am helping her cook some food. She soon falls to the ground almost but I caught her.
"Ma'am are you alright??" I ask truly worried.
"Oh yes dear. I just need to rest my frail body." With that I gently carry her to her bed.
"I cut the stove off for you." I say softly covering her up.
"Thank you young lady. I never did ask your name." She says almost in a whisper.
"I have no name miss. I was raised by the animals of the mountains." I explain.
"I see. Then please take my name." She tells me, "You are now Mystery Lin Chu. And this old lady can finally take her last breath."
I nod to her, "I accept the name. And I thank you."
Gently her frail hand reaches to my face, "You have more power and ability than you know child. When I die, take the book from under my bed and keep it for all eternity."
I nod and then her hand falls and I put it on her chest. I grab the book putting it in my bag and kiss the poor dead woman's head whispering another thank you. I then head out of the cabin and continue my travels.
~ A few days later ~
After traveling a few days nonstop I need to rest so I build a small den within the ground. After my den is completed I hear and young child scream. I rub to her and see a black bear trying to attack her. Quickly I attack the bear fighting it until it bows into submission and runs off. The little girl hugs me and says her thanks.
"Miss I am lost. Can you help me find my mommy?" She asks innocently.
Nodding I say, "Of course. But it is too dark right now so Let us go rest."
Nodding she grabs my hand and we go to my den. She and I fall asleep easily. When I wake up I carried her sleeping form to her mother then continued my travels once more.
I will travel nonstop for days at a time then rest. Sometimes longer than others. I would run in to trouble but handle it my way. As a future alpha I must be able to protect my own and others. But all that any of this adds up to is me going home yet, nobody's home.
