Human In Animal Skin To Animal In Human Skin

Running, Discovery, And Rescuing

The wolf-horse sized really-silently, stealthily and hidden followed behind the boy as he stumbled and ran through the forest. The wolf curiosity among other thing the wolf didn't understand but at the same did. The wolfs ear suddenly twitched and rotated at the the sound its ears heard first before the tiny human did. The sound of hissing of a snake, a snake the wolf saw many humans carry for it was too long and large and throw into 'his' forest.

  A sudden urge followed by the sudden feel to protect the tiny human arose from within 'him' as 'he' saw the boy freeze just long afar from the snakes reach. A growl rose up from 'his' chest up 'his' throat but didn't release it knowing from somewhere inside 'him' that it would scare the tiny human more than he is already.

  Henry knew it a bad, bad, bad, idea running off into the forest and so far the moment he ran off. Now he knew how stupid he was for running off to the forest as he stared at the rather large snake as it scented him out with its tongue. Despite being angry and upset at his mom he wished she were here. It's head rose the hissing more aggressive sounding and next thing Henry knew a large furry thing knocked him outta the way. The snakes head and fangs missing his legs and biting air, hissing in what it appears annoyance.

  Coughing and wheezing Henry looked up and his eyes widen as he looked at to be the biggest wolf-not that he'd seen a wolf in person-he'd ever seen. The wolfs back towards him as it faced the snake, body crouched ready for and to attack if need be. Growls were coming from the wolf and Henry could see the wolfs body vibrating as it did so.

  Henry let out a tiny scream as the wolf suddenly snarled loudly sounding more like a roar as the snake bit into its right front leg, close or maybe the chest. Henry tried to look away as the wolf bit into the snakes neck Or tried to at least as the snake let go and the wolf bit air. The snake slithered under the wolf quickly, hissing and opening its jaws wide.

  The wolf was a bit dazed from the bits and quick movement of trying to bite the snake was still able to make quick work, turning around and biting into the snakes 'neck' and shaking 'his' head about. The wolf brought a paw down on the snakes body as it slithered and wiggled to escape 'his' clutches and held part of it down. Finally after what seemed like forever the snake ceased its movements. The wolf opened its maws and the snake fell limply to the ground. The wolf snorted at its corpse and neared its teeth before turning to look at the tiny human.

  Henry could only stare in shock, awe, disbelief, and a little fear. His shock become more as the wolfs eyes locked onto his. He saw more intellect and intelligence instead of the more wild predatory glint he expected. Don't get him wrong he still saw that in the wolfs eyes it was just he could see other emotions in them too.

  As the wolf studied him Henry did the same. The fur on the wolf back was like a faded black or maybe a shimmering purple. The rest of the wolfs fur was a deep black with hints of red here and there, the ears were a deep red as well as the fur on its feet. Like socks or boots. The wolfs tail was red tipped. When the wolf took a step to get closer Henry finally tries to scramble back to his feet only to hiss and saw that his hand had a long cut. It wasn't bleeding-at least not anymore as he looked at it.

  The wolf whined lowly lowering 'his' head to the ground ears pinned back, showing 'he' didn't want to harm. Henry against the feeling in his gut telling to run as fast and far from the wolf as possible decided to stay put. Even with the glowing red eyes the wolf was looking at him with. The wolfs nose was cold against his check as 'he' sniffed in his scent. Henry giggled as the wolfs nose and whiskers tickled his neck before a tongue licked up to his cheek. Henry's eyes widened and his nose scrunched up.

  "Ew! Gross!" Henry loudly muttered whipping at his check with his sleeve. "Your like a big puppy." He said under his breath watching as the wolf tilted its head to the side. The suddenly stood on alert, ears straight, posture stiff, as voices called from two sides of the forest. Henry wide eyes grew wider as he recognized his mothers voice.

  The saw his reaction and relaxed just a smudge as 'he' noticed his heart rate didn't sound rapid in fear nor did he smell like it. As the voice got glider and footsteps become clearer to the wolf 'he' licked the tiny humans check again before sprinting back into the covers of the forest.

  Henry felt sad for some strange reason as he watched the wolf go.
