I woke up to be in the arms to someone I don't know. I didn't exactly struggle either. I don't even know the man but he was just holding me like his life depended on it. I decided not to make a noise. He sighed " I feel bad for ya kid.. just being left outside like that.. cruel.." He said softly. I moved a little on his grasp which made him stop to look down at me.

"Finally.. you're awake.." he said with a smile. I nodded at his words. I don't exactly know why he was being so nice to me. I'm not exactly the best person "why do you have me..?" I asked shyly. He looked back up and went back to walking "Maybe because you remind me of my sister.." he said sadly. I once again nodded at this.

He didn't have to be nice but he was anyway. "You can put me down.." I said. He laughed a little and stopped once again to set me down. I still felt tired but I stood anyway. I looked ahead of me and I saw were snowy woods. I sighed at this.

"Where are we even going..?" I asked in the same shy tone as before. He looked down at me with a bigger smile. "To my house.. You were cold to the touch when I first found you.." He said in a happy tone. I nodded at this once again. Nodding seemed to be something I did now instead of talking. He went back to walking with me following after him. I placed my hands in  my pocket as we walked silently.
