Its cold. The musky mist floods over the dark forest, the boys steps emulate throughout the peach of the environment. If he was pray, he was caught. I found an opening in the forest. Many thousands of metres away from my home, these walks relieve my boredom as I share the  comfort with the black shadows. They scare me but, I take comfort in them ya know? Anyway, The moon christened the glow of the mist, he was a silhouette, as be it the shadows. Following a wolf's howl, an earthly scent catches his sense. It reminded me of the excitement of earlier, Ma was making my favourite meal, no matter where I was, I always knew, one of my five senses would catch it. But then they caught something else. His senses pull him to a stand. The black shadows evade away into the brush. The mist. The trees. A weird sound, one of which that sounded like a wounded wolf, vibrantly echoed into the opening where he originally laid..They told me to follow it. As I did. I expected to find an animal in a trap....as I did, but not as you think.
Hello.
A gasp broke out. A sweet scent swam into the lads bubble. As did the realization of the sudden fearful indecision that swept across the weeping girl.
H-Hello...
What are you doing hiding here? It's cold out.
They walked over her grave, shown by shake of her cheek, her clothes and her chest. Grit covered hands wipe away dried tears of despair.
I'm hiding away...its terrible. All the pain. All the suffering of my iridescent existence.
I see. So forth, you hide here to be away from it. You want to be away from it?
Just a nod. Nothing more, nothing less. She needn't explain her reasons. They didn't matter, the relevance was clear.
I can send you somewhere away. Somewhere better. Warmer. Where you wouldn't feel what you do. Suffer what you shouldn't have too.
A bright light filled her only iris, and a black coat covered her shoulders.
That was her way a plead. Her way of beg. It was best for her you know?
Footsteps of two sets lead deeper into the forest. One was bare, the other was covered.
It hurts for a second. You needn't have worry.
Okay...
In a fruitful way of speaking, Close your eyes.
Don't hold it against me.
A tight tug around her neck. Was it a collar? Was it his hands?
Here we go, I pray you have a safe journey.
Nothing more. Nothing less. The black shadows watched, and the mist enveloped the area. The didn't scream or cry, she smiled. I'm happy to have helped her, I saved her. I don't understand why you're upset with me, I saved a life, better than you could have. As I said, her reasons didn't matter, but she trusted in me to send her to warmth and I did, yet you fucking hold me responsible with the ideology of me being the monster.
