Chapter 3: 2

I woke up the next morning in a pair of brown sheets. I was dressed in my pyjamas but I couldn't remember how I got there all I remember was having a bath so how did I end up in my room?

I sighed and shrugged the thought to the back of my mind. I must have slept walked to the room besides, I was extremely tired yesterday.

Just as I was changing into my cloth into a faint faded pink gown, I remembered something important. "The big bad wolf."

I dashed out of my room and picked up the things I had to sell for the day then ran off. Mother seemed to have been calling me but I was too distracted to hear her.

Before heading to the market, I went to my secret hideout. I searched for my future friend but he wasn't there. Did he finally get healed and ran off?

"Ha! It's such a relief that the big bad wolf is fine now." is said with a smile across my face. But why did I feel sad? He's fine, right? And he has probably gone to his family.

"I wish I had a family too." I stared at the beautiful morning sky and the dewy trees. In other contexts, my name represents an oak tree but I prefer the moon because the moon brings forth light at night and I'm happy whenever I'm called a light bearer.

I planned on leaving the cave but heard the sound of a stone rolling. I instinctively turned and there it was. My big bad wolf. It majestically walked on four legs out of the cave.

Its dark golden brown fur was eye-catching and its eyes were of two different colours. The one on the left was Amber and the one on the right was blue.

'Ah! It's so beautiful.' I thought. It shacked its body and I could almost swear that I saw gold dust dropping from its fur. How can an animal look so beautiful and gracious?

I blinked twice before returning to my senses. "Oh, here you are. I thought you ran away after recovering. Come come now, let's get your wounds checked."

I was happy that my big bad wolf didn't disappear. After all, I had plans of training it to be a very obedient and loyal friend. I've heard from most people that wolves belong to the dog family so technically, I should be able to train him right.

The wolf acted so obediently and went back into the cave. Its leg was still badly hurt and it needed more attention. I was worried that I would have a hard time sending it in but it turns out I'm a great dog trainer.

While inside the cave, I removed the clothes I tied around its leg yesterday but it growled at me again this time revealing its sharp teeth but it didn't hurt me. I fell backwards and I saw it coming forward still having its teeth pointed.

Am I not being stupid for helping this big bad wolf? Won't I get eaten up because of my foolishness?

It came closer and closer and I drew backwards until my back reached the wall. There was fear in my eyes and my heart was pounding like a never-ending drum.

It paused and we stayed like this for a while. I wanted to scream for help but obviously, no one would hear me because I'm in a remote area and no one comes here often.

I held my breath and it turned back to leave. It sat on the floor and turned its face away. If I hadn't known better, I'd say it was an already trained wolf.

My eyes were widened in fear and my heart was pounding uncontrollably. More than anything else, I wanted to hurriedly leave this place.

I quietly took my tray and other things preparing to leave but eyes fell on its wound that had not healed properly and I couldn't control my body from moving and soon sat back. Gently, I took some herbs and placed them on its wounds. My hands were shaking as it flinched but in the end, I put the herbs and tied its leg again.

Hurriedly, I picked up my stuff and went straight to the market without turning back. Call me crazy but for sure, I just couldn't let my big bad wolf suffer too much. I have the nature of taking care of animals such as birds and cats but this is the first time I'm ever being caring to a wolf.

For me, every creature is an important part of life and I would rather chase a fly out of my room than kill it.

Soon, I forgot all about what happened earlier and began to sing on my way to the market. Indeed, today was an awesome day, I sold everything in due time and rushed back to my secret hideout in search of wolfy but when I got there, he was gone, this time for real.

"Big bad wolf! Where did you go?" I almost broke down in tears. I was hoping to show it around the woods but it left before I came back. My soul is so fragile that I could literally cry if I saw someone else crying.

The sun was just setting and I had waited for wolfy all this while but he never came back. I hugged my knee and was confident that I would see it again and that it just went for a walk and will be back in no time but soon, it was night and it still didn't come back.

Sighing, I picked up my tray and began to walk home, back to my boring and unlively house. Back to that hell hole where I couldn't even talk properly.

The clouds formed and soon, it began to drizzle as I slowly walked home.

I got to the door but instead of going into the house, I sat by the door and wept. When is it going to be all over? Is this how my life will continue to be? Most of my mates are either in the university or working somewhere but here I am, selling provisions for my mother.

I'm not denying that mother is quite old and needs some help at home but I can't help but be human. I wanted to soar like the birds in the sky, explore my talents and build a better future for myself and mother. Yes, mother. In as much as you think I should hate her, I don't.

The rain poured for quite a while and I sat there receiving all the drops. I didn't know when I fell asleep on the veranda

I opened my eyes and I was greeted by the bright light of the sun. It shone on my white skin and hair and the scenes said so much about why I was named the moon. I was literally reflecting the sun's light.

Wait. How did I get to my room and here we go again? I'm dressed in my pyjamas just like I was yesterday. Why is mother being overly nice to me?

Sighing, I pushed it to the back of my mind and lazily got out of bed. Unlike other days, I wasn't in the mood to do anything today all I want to do is lay on my bed for the rest of the day.

I brushed my teeth and prepared to head out but mother stopped me.

"Where do you think you are going?" she pulled me back with a stern voice and a reprimanding face.

"People have been dying since last night apparently, I was told that these victims were ripped by an animal and none of them was able to escape the clutches of this animal," she explained.

"We were told that the monster had finally been killed but it turns out that it's still out there."
