In the land where nobody wants to stay, I found a boy named Lauri. He is reserve and quiet that is why we doesn't have a moment of time together. But one day, when I was about to go to the next town to buy some supplies, I notice that someone cleaned the land where I made my tent up. There's no houses so I decided to live inside of a tent. I am here to observe the wild life and ecosystem after the incident happened long ago. Causing the people to abandon this town and made the animals of the forest ganged up here. Even though most of them were wild animals, they don't attack me and they're just observing. Maybe because my blood and meat aren't that tasty. But, Lauri seems so close to them. I love watching the animals circling around him, squeezing and hugging each other to make Lauri warm. I wonder, where do Lauri stays? What food and where he get some. But for now, I really need to go. To get some food for another month of staying here. I get my wallet and put on my knife for emergencies and cutting vines and tall grasses that may block my path.
I start walking. This forest sure is creepy but warm in some ways. Thinking that many predators lives here scares me but it somehow amazing that I haven't encounter any huge fight in here.
I walk pass the tall grasses and cut some vines hanging on the way. As when I'm about halfway to the town, I heard a loud growl somewhere, somehow it makes my cold sweats out and I feel uneasy. I need to go faster now. That thing might come after me. With that in mind, I hurriedly cut the vine blocking my way.
"Aaaah!", I screamed when a tiger is about to jump at me. His pointy sharp teeth was ready to fang at my flesh when suddenly, a white wolf came and cuts the tiger's throat, causing it to loss all its blood. I was really scared to even stand up. My body is shaking and seeing the white wolf coming closer at me give me a really great fright. For no reason I called Lauri's name. Maybe because he is the only person I know after staying here for a year now.
Even I called his name for so many times, the wolf keeps approaching me. I started to cry and look at him so cowardly and when I look at the white wolf's eyes, I am shock to see that blue and black pair of eyes saying that I shouldn't be afraid of him. Coz I know him very well. An inch is the only distance we have, that I am able to hear his heart beat and feel his breathing now. I gulped so many times and trembling reaches him. My hands were shaking as I reach his neck. His furs were so comfy. He growl softly that startled me but it doesn't make me stop touching him. Somehow it calms me. He sits infront of me and make a sign to tell me to hop in. Even though I'm scared, it's not enough to spoil my excitement. When I'm already in his back, he stood up and start walking and lead me to a huge cave.

"That's what happened. How I found Lauri and discovers that he is the guardian of this forest", I smiled as I watch the little bunny and little fox cuddling because of the winter weather. As for me, Lauri is covering me with his furs, giving me his warmth.
"But how did you understand us and talking to us right now lady Violeen?", little bunny said and Lauri growls. Little fox hid at the back of little bunny. Maybe he's scared of Lauri, me on the other side is chuckling.
"Well it's a secret for now", I laughs and hugs Lauri's white fur. I think I'll be extending my stay here forever.
Another day had pass when little bunny and little fox visited me. It has been a while when someone come for a visit here. Sometimes it gets so boring that I want to leave this cave. Someone is rustling at the bushes infront of the entrance. I stood up and went to see who it is. A white fleece fur glowing under the sun. Those eyes piercing you by a far. I smiled and wait for him. While approaching me, I'm still amaze to see him transforming even though I always see it. He kisses my lips and I wrapped my arms around his neck. His warm lips makes a tingling feeling inside me. Glad to found and be found by this little caring guardian. Our little moment got interrupted by this cute little ones.
