HUMPHREY'S POV
I had grown up a lone wolf. I was never born to a pack. My father apparently took off before I was born, and my mother died when I was almost ready to venture off on my own permanantly. I had met a few interesting folks along my way, but nothing that grew into a friendship. I made it a habit not to get attached to anyone because I have never been good with goodbyes.
I had dug my own den big enough for upto four wolves incase I had to give a family shelter or protection. I was laying down in front of the den sunning myself on this particularly nice and warm sunny day; when I could hear sticks cracking, but not in a normal pattern. When a normal wolf walks, the stick cracking remains the same, but in this case, it was very erratic. Almost like someone was drunk. I got up to check it out and before I saw the source of the noice, I could smell another wolf, so I got ready for either a fight, or to preform possible medical, or just provide directions.
When I got through the bushes, there standing before me, was a young adult female wolf with cream colour fur. "My name is Humphrey. Are you lost?" she kept looking around and she was very thin. "where are you?" she asked me nervously as she shrunk low to the ground. "can you not see me? I'm literally standing two feet in front of you." "I'm blind." I then got a good look at her eyes. They were a foggy green, but her pupils were white and glazed over. Her stomach rumbled very loudly and she began to get shakey on her feet. She clutched her stomach and winced "I haven't eaten in days… weeks. I'm starving…." I replied "Okay follow the sound of my paw steps." she nodded and I began stomping back to my den, leading her back.
When we got there, I said "Just wait here for a few minutes while I get you something to eat. "okay." I then went to a nearby field where I saw a lone deer grazing. I looked around, making sure she didn't have a fawn or that there wasn't a hunter nearby. I slowly kept up on her and I lunged at her and I ripped out a chunk of her throat. She dropped to the ground kicking and flailing, but that stopped moments later. I dragged her back to my den and I brought it inside and asked her "Whats your name?" "Daria." "Okay Daria. You need to eat slow. If you have been days or even weeks without food, if you suddenly eat and lot of food fast, you'll puke it all up. So eat slow. There is plenty of food here." she nodded and d I led her over to the carcass and said "I take it you can handle it from here right?" she nodded and poked the deer once with her nose before taking a large bite out of one of the back legs.
To my surprise, she followed my instructions and took her time eating. After she took a few bites she said "I can't thank you enough for your hospitality Humphrey." I chuckled and said "I live by my own set of rules. Rule number one, always help those who need it." she nodded and said "Wise." she then continued eating.
After eating slowly, she had eaten an entire deer leg bones and all. "Wow… you weren't kidding when you said you hadn't eaten in a long time. She nodded and said "That was amazing. Is there anyway of returning the favour?" "Don't worry about it. I always help out a lady in need. And by judging by how thin you are, looks like we stumbled across eachother just in time." she nodded and asked "Will your mate mind me? I don't want to cause any trouble. If she wants me to go, then I'll be on my way. I chuckled and said "if have no mate, no girlfriend. I live out here on my own. Always have been a rouge." "Oh… you don't get kinda… lonely?" "Not really."
There was an akward moment of silence before I asked "Did you get separated from your pack?" "Yes. I'm from the eastern pack of Jasper. I went for fora walk, and then suddenly it started raining really hard, and it washed away my scent. I've been wandering ever since." I replied "Well, rest here for a while, then we can make the journey back to your pack to get you home safe and sound. I'm sure they are all worried about you." "I don't know about that… I'm just a beta that helps locate caribou." I got confused and asked "Sorry if I sound like like a jerk or like I'm being rude, but how can someone with your… condition, be able to locate caribou?" she smiled and replied "Just cause I can't see a thing, doesn't mean I'm not useful. My senses of smell, taste, touch, and hearing are far superior than that of someone who can see."
I smirked and said "Okay… prove it. What did I have for lunch yesterday by the smell of this bone?" I then picked up a rabbit skull and held it to her nose. She sniffed it a couple of times before she said "That would be Be a rabbit. You missed the brain inside the skull. I wouldn't eat that rabbit brain though, day old rabbit brains sound Kinda sketchy to me." I nodded and said "Impressive." she smiled and said "It's a gift I was born blind, but I quickly learned to navigate the world by touch and smell." I nodded nodded and she asked "Can I touch your face please? It helps me build an image in my mind of what you look like." I nodded and said "Okay." I then picked up her paw and put it on my cheek and she began to slowly move her paw along my face.
After she felt my face for a minute or two, she asked what colour are your eyes?" "Soft blue." "What about your fur?" "a silver grey." she closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them and said "If my mind has pieced this together properly, then you are are very handsome guy." I blushed ands said "Thanks."
After talking for a while longer, she let out a loud yawn and asked "Is it okay if I get some rest please Humphrey?" "Of course. Let's get you to my bed. I have a spare I can use." she nodded and I moved beside her, and led her over to my bed before she laid down and said "Good night Humphrey." I smiled and said "Good night Daria."
I then walked over to the spare bed of grass I have and I laid down on it and closed my eyes for the night."
