Ben POV
The next day, I woke up in my bed. I got up and got changed into my tunic and exited my room. I headed to the living room when I felt someone put their arm on my head, I could only guess that it was Jeff. I looked to my side and saw him. He always mocked me for my height and how short I was but that just made me want him dead more and more.
"What do you want, Jeff?" I asked.
"Nothing much, shortie." He replied.
"Can you take your arm off of me?"
"My arm is comfortable on your head so I won't."
"You shouldn't have done that." I growled and grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground. Jeff walked away, smiling as always. I turned around and saw Sally. She saw what I did, what was she going to think, what would she think of me? She stared at me and then smiled.
"I didn't think you were that strong, Ben." She smiled. I was so relieved that she wasn't upset or scared.
"I normally don't attack others unless they get me mad or annoy me like Jeff. So if you're being bothered by someone then I can take care of them for you." I chuckled.
"Really? Thank you Ben." She smiled. Her smile was so pure that I couldn't resist saying that. If I can't keep her safe then she might see me in a different way.
"Say Ben, could we go for a walk in the forest?"
"Uh, sure."
We headed outside, there could be humans or anything out in the forest but all that I need to worry about is Sally's safety.

After a while of walking, I hear a growl and stop us. Sally looked at me, confused.
"Is something wrong, Ben?"
"Something is nearby, stay close to me."
She nodded and stayed close. I look over at a bush that rustled. A wolf came out. I stared at it, not scared but I could feel Sally shaking with fear.
"Sally, I want you to go back to the mansion."
"But what about you?"
"I'll be fine, just go."
She nodded and ran to the mansion. I stared at the wolf as it pounced onto me and scratched my chest with a claw, ripping my tunic and my skin. I pushed it off. I didn't have a weapon except for my fists. The wolf came at me, I punched it, sending it back. The wolf howled, calling for help. Two more wolves came. I was surrounded by three wolves, if this is how I die then at least I know that Sally is safe. The wolves closed in on me. One bit my arm and another bit my leg. The final one was read to attack, I closed my eyes and waited for the wolf to attack. The wolf jumped at me and I grabbed it and threw it into the other wolves on me. My arm and leg was injured and I could see my vision becoming blurry.
"You shouldn't have done that." I fell back and went unconscious as I landed on the grass.
