I turn around slowly as the groaning intensifies and I face the thing that I feared the most in this era, a wolf. He was huge with a grey coat and his fangs were very long.
Oh my god ! What do I do now ? I've never seen a wolf here before and I know they only attack humans when they're starving so I was in real danger here.
The wolf slowly but aggressively approach me as I scream at him. "Stay away !! Don't approach me !"
But he kept on getting closer to me and I slowly walk back and grab the hunt knife in my jacket's pocket.
I can't outrun him, he's way too fast for me so I need to make him run away but how ? In a fair fight, I won't last for long that's for sure. His yellow eyes are glowing right now I have no choice but to fight for my life.
Suddenly he runs towards me at full speed and jumps with his mouth open ready to bite me, I react quickly and use my arm as a shield and fall on the ground when he hit me with his full strength, he tries to rip my arm off but I have so many layers of clothing that he doesn't hurt me too much in the moment, an adrenaline rush goes through my whole body and with my knife I stab him multiple times while screaming. "Get the fuck off me !!".
After I landed a few hits on him with my weapon he gets off of me, his coat covered in blood which is surely a mix of mine and his. He squeaks and runs off and I'm finally free from his body.
But the pain rages through my left arm as I see drips of blood falling in the snow.
"Huh fuck that hurts! I need to get back quickly, if not I will bleed out!"
I take the path back to my home but I feel weaker with every step and my vision starts to get blurry with my eyes full of tears. I have to come back to the cabin, Aida will be able to help me hopefully.
I hope I am in the right direction because my mind is focused on the pain right now.
My whole body feels dizzy and it's getting harder to walk but I gather all the strength that I have left and after a few minutes I finally have sight on what I hoped to see the most.
I stumble on the door and I reach my keys in my pocket to unlock it but I'm shaking like crazy so I struggle a lot to actually open it.
"Come on now"
Finally, I unlock it and once I'm inside Aida limps towards me and screams in shock.
"Oh my God Dana ! What happened?!"
"I I got attacked by a wolf while I was hunting... I I need help please."
"Oh no, I'm gonna take care of you come on!"
She sees all the blood on my clothed and on my right hand that I have on my left arm and urges me to get on the sofa while she delicately takes off my upper clothes.
I hiss in pain while she does so. "Sorry Dana!"
We both see the cut and it's deep and bloody but not too much, my jacket really saved my life this time.
"Do you have a first aid kit in this house?" she asks in haste.
"Yes, in the storage room... be quick please."
I see her limping to get it and my eyes feel heavy and I finally faint.
I wake up and a shiny light invades my eyes, is this heaven, am I dead ? But I feel a hand gently stroking my hair and as I turn my head to the left I see Aida smiling at me with her cute dimples.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
I get a flashback of what happened yesterday and I feel my arm still throbbing.
"I've been better, how much did I sleep?"
She seems to think for a second before she answers. "Hmm about 18 hours I think, I stayed with you all night and I made a fire to keep you warm."
"Thank you, without you I would be dead most likely."
She chuckles as she replies. "Can we say we're even now ?"
I sigh. "Yes, we're even."
"I'm joking if I had to I would save you every day."
Her statement makes me smile lightly, and all I can think is that I definitely have a crush on her now.
"What did you do to my arm?"
"I cleaned the wound, and made stitches and I applied a bandage to your arm, we need to change it twice a day and sanitise your injury otherwise it could still be infected."
"Okay, can I ask you how do you know about all of that stuff?"
"Before all of that happened, I studied to become a nurse Dana."
"Oh okay that's great and it came in handy today."
"Yes, but now you need to rest and this time I'm going to take care of you. Your arm is still in bad shape and I don't want it to get worse."
She has a point, I mean I can't do everything as before, I need to let her help me more.
"But what about your knee ? It still hurts you, doesn't it ?"
"It's fine, I assure you I'm better already ! Look"
She starts walking and her gait is still weird but she doesn't need support anymore, she's definitely feeling better, she grins at me.
"Okay, you're right you're doing much better now I suppose."
"And that's all thanks to you. Oh and I took your supplies back, including your hare that you found, nice shot by the way."
I giggle softly. "Yeah, I improved a lot on my shooting skills I guess."
"Are you hungry ? I can prepare dinner if you want."
"Yes, okay, I'll let you do your stuff."
Thankfully, Aida is here and I can let loose for a while, living alone and taking care of everything made me nervous but now it's all better.
