Entry.1 -- An Unfamiliar Day
Hawk
Today was sucking, milk was old, TV broke, nothing was going right, like any other day.. Anyways,I want out to hang out the laundry HOPING that nothing else would go wrong..
As I finished hanging up my shirts, I took a quick break from my day. I went to lay on the grass by the side of my cottage.. Wait, wait, wait, let's backtrack a bit. I live in the middle of the forest, alone. I used to live in the city, but the business of the city life isn't for me. I moved here about two years ago, everything was great! Perfect even. But about a month or so ago, everything bad has been hapening. For example, I had bought fresh milk the other day, and it turned old and stale in less than two days, my TV breaks several times in a week, I lose my wallet at least over twenty times inless then a month, and my car breaks down constantly. So now I am looking for a new place to live.
Anyways, I finished hanging up my shirts and went to lay down, then I heard something in the bushes to the right of where I was laying, I think it was to the right.. Yeah, definatly to the right. Anyways, I got up to go and see who, or even what it was. As I approached the bushes, it poped out at me growling at me, that's when I noticed.. it didn't have animal eyes or look excactly animal.. Plus, it was standing on it's back leg's, and I sure as hell do not know any animal that can run and jump on it's back leg's.
"Uhh, hello there." I said as I kneeled down to show that I wasn't going to hurt it, then I saw that is was bleeding. It had cut's all over it's back and face.
"Are you alright?" I asked it and crawled a little closer. It showed it's fangs and started to growl louder. It was shaking.
"I'm not going to hurt you." I exclaimed as I extended my hand towards it. THe creature plopped back down on all fours and started to move closer towards my hand.
"See, gentle." I said and smiled at it. It sniffed my hand.
I stood up and looked for anymore like it, but there was none. I walked back over to my laundry and started hanging up more clothes, waiting for it to do something. I heard it run off, of course, I was dissapointed for a bit, but I had forgot all about him as I finished hanging up my clothes to dry.
I picked up my hamper and walked back in the house. I was shocked to see the creature kneeling on the counter eating the celeri I had bought ealier that day.
"What do you think your doing?" I said and giggled as I walked over to the bag and took it away. "Only one for you" I said and smiled.
It extended it's paw-like hand at me and and started to whine. "What, you want another?" I asked it and walked over to my fridge and pulled out an apple and gave it to him. "There, eat that." I said as I went into the bathroom to get a cloth and some hot water.
"I'm just going to fix up your back a bit, okay?" I yelled out from the bathroom, with no reply. 'I take that as a yes..' I had thought to myself.
The bucket of water filled, I walked back to the creature and dipped the cloth in the water. "This may sting a little, but don't be scared." I had told it, then I started to wash his back slowly, "See, not that bad 'eh?" I was talking to it as if it understood or cared about whatever I was saying. I just think he was ignoring me for the apple.
I finished cleaning him up and let him loose, but he wouldn't really.. Go anywheres.. For five days, he has been around, something told me he wasn't going to leave anytime soon, so I had to name him, right? It took me a good five hours to think of a name for an animal/human hybrid, I've never seen one before. So I stared at him for a good while and the same thing that toldme he wasn'tleaving, basically told meto name him Vohu Manah, I never really knew why I named him that, but he seemed to be partial to it.
A week went by, after a while I got used to him being around, and I didn't need to call the repairman anymoire because I didn't watch anymore television.
My old neighbour, Eph stopped by. "Hey, do you remember me?.. Well, uhhhh.. Could you come live with my by any chance, it get's really lonly around my place and there's planty enough room." she said as she smiled at me.
"Uhh.. Sure, I never really liked being alone here anyways." I said as Vohu popped his ead out from behind my leg's.
"Umm, what is that..?" the girl said nervously. "This is Vohu, he's my... ...." I just stared at him. "Son. He's my son." I smiled at him and Eph. "You don't mind if he comes aswell, do you?"I asked her, she nodded. "Great, I will just go pack my stuff then!" I said happily and walked back in to pack.
Vohu crawled over to the girl and stared to sniff her leg. "I'm ready!" I said to them. I picked up Vohu and put him in Eph's car with my luggage. He curled up in a ball and slept the whole way there.
