When she was six…
In a deep forest up north, there was a little town. Not many people live there, so everyone knew each other. The neighbourhood isn't exactly tight; you have to walk for a while to get from one house to another. Most people lived in the North and West side of the forest; the South and East are left untouched for the wild life. The town center was not so far from the neighbourhood though. You could get there in around a fifteen or twenty minute walk.
In the far north, in a little green cottage lives a sweet girl called Elsa Rouge. She had beautiful, platinum blonde hair that falls down behind her back like cascade. Bright, sparkling eyes that twinkle under the sun. And a sweet smile that could melt your heart. However, what really made people remember her was that she really lived up her last name. She was always seen in her ruby red hood which was a gift her papa gave to her mama when they married. Elsa lives with only her mama because her papa died before she was born. It always has been Elsa and her mama. Even though, her papa is gone, her mama has always been a strong, optimistic mother to her. Baking is something the two really enjoyed to do together, in fact, her mama is the best baker in town!
One evening, Elsa and her mother were baking another cake.
"Mama, I'm going to be a great baker in the future, like you!" she grinned.
Her mama lightly pinched her little nose, and smiled "My my, you are already the best baker I've ever known!"
"I'm going to get my own little cabin store in the town center, and I'm going to bake chocolate cakes all day!" Elsa said innocently.
"Only chocolate cakes?" her mother laughed.
"Hmmm, I'll think about it…maybe chocolate cupcakes too!"
"Alright honey, bake all the chocolate desserts you want!" Her mother smiled and hugged her. "Hey, while we wait for this chocolate cake to get ready, do you want to go outside and pick some strawberries from the backyard? Mama will do the clean up."
"I can help mama with the clean up!" Elsa replied sweetly.
"No, I got it! Just go get some strawberries, alright honey?" Her mother patted her head gently.
Elsa nodded happily and ran out.
OOOoooOOOoooOOO
The wolf breathed hard and ran. It seemed like he should begin to take hunting seasons more seriously. He was still young, naïve and innocent, the world was a playground to him. The bear had always warned him about the hunters but he just brushed it off. Well, he actually never cared about hunting seasons at all…up until now. His visions began to get blurry…no, he can't stop now…He tried to encourage himself to keep going, but his body wasn't listening. Before he knew it, he collapsed and a light scent of strawberries greeted his nose…
OOOoooOOOoooOOO
Elsa gasped as she saw the silver coated creature lying breathlessly in her backyard.
"Little doggy, are you alright?" she rushed toward it.
As she examined, the wolf had a serious cut wound in its hind legs: an arrow shot right in it…blood was gushing out uncontrollably, probably from all the running it had.
"Stay strong, little doggy." She gently pet it, it huffed a little.
Then she ran back into her cottage, and took all the medical supplies she could think of out of the cupboard.
"Elsa, dear, what are you doing?" her mother said in a concerned voice, walking toward her. "Are you hurt?! Where?!"
"No mama, don't worry about me. There is a little doggy in our backyard that is bleeding all over the grass." Elsa answered in a hurried tone. "I need to help it."
"Hang on, Elsa." Her mother took off her apron. "I'm coming with you."
As the two reached to the backyard, Elsa's mom froze. That is not a little doggy. It is huge. In fact, it isn't even a dog…
"Elsa, honey, it's a wolf." Her mother pulled her back a little. "Stay here, I'll go ask Jeff to come and take it out."
"Mama, I'm fine. I want to go help it. We can't leave it to die!" Her innocent eyes pleaded her mother. "Please mama, it didn't do anything wrong. It's just hurt."
Her mother sighed. The innocence and pure kindness of a child softened her heart a little.
"How about we take it to the town's vet?" her mother tried.
"Mother we can't, it takes too long!" she was pulling her mother to that injured animal now. "It's dying mama, we have to help it now!"
"I'm not sure, Elsa. It's not because I don't want to help it…But what if it gets aggressive and harm us when it gets healthier?" Her mother petted her head.
"Mama and I are healthy and we don't hurt anyone. If we don't hurt it, it won't hurt us, right, mama?" Elsa smiled, still dragging her mother to the wolf.
She gave in. "Let's get it in our house first."
OOOoooOOOoooOOO
Elsa's mother could tell that the wolf was in serious trouble. It was barely opening its eyes, and it was shaking a lot. Thankfully, her mother had some background on treating wounds.
Just in case, her mother tied the front legs and its snout with the tightest ropes she could find. Even though the wolf was too weak to act now… but when the arrow is taken out… As she was about to take the arrow out she told Elsa to stay far far away, in case a murderous fit. Elsa wouldn't listen, and stayed by its side.
"Just stand behind me, Elsa. This is the closest I can let you." Her mother demanded.
"Alright then…" she said gloomily and stood behind her mother.
Her mother prayed silently, and then she took out the arrow immediately.
The wolf's body jerked and the rope on its snout broke lose; it let out a screeching howl. It couldn't stop wiggling, fighting to get loose. She stepped back as fast as she could, pulling Elsa with her.
Oh no. her mother prayed. This couldn't be the end of our lives could it? Please God, at least let Elsa live.
Before anyone can react, Elsa walked up to the wolf and yelled. "JUST CALM DOWN, WILL YOU?! CAN'T YOU SEE WE ARE TREATING YOU?!"
Too late. Her mother pulled Elsa back quickly.
But it was weird…very weird. Just like that, the wolf stopped jerking around and howling. It slowly tilt its head at Elsa, and leaned back down.
Elsa's mother gulped and slowly approached the wolf again. To her surprise, the wolf just lay there obediently like a dog for the entire time when she tended its wound
OOOoooOOOoooOOO
"Elsa, once it's healthy we are releasing it back to the wild." Her mother said sternly.
"But mother…"
"It's a wild animal."
"… alright."
"Now, honey, it's almost your bedtime. Come on, let's go to your room." Her mother smiled.
She quickly washed her hands and pulled her daughter to her room. She tugged her daughter in and sang her soft lullabies.
"Goodnight, dear." She kissed her daughter on the forehead as she finished her song.
"Night, mama." Elsa smiled.
As her mother was about to exit her room, Elsa called out.
"Mama, is wolfie going to be alright?"
Her mother sighed. "Yes honey, it will be alright. Good night."
Her mother walked out of her room and closed her door. She listened and waited, till she heard her mother's door close. Slam. There it is. She slowly opened her own little door, and prayed that it won't let out a loud creak. It didn't.
She quietly walked toward to the wolf and it seemed like it sensed her coming too as it perked its head up.
"Shhhhh," she hushed it. "I'm helping you."
She untied its front legs, and lightly patted it. "You must be cold sleeping on the table. Let me go get you a blankie."
She quietly scooted back into her room and grabbed a blanket from her drawer. When she walked out, the wolf was already on the ground.
"Did you jump down?" Elsa whispered angrily, and it nodded. "Bad wolfie, you are not even healed yet!"
The wolf tilted its head, and stared at her.
"I'm too weak to put you back on the table…I guess you have to sleep on the floor." She patted its head, and put over the blanket over it. "Goodnight, buddy."
She walked back to her room but she felt like something was following her. It was the wolf.
"Are you not sleepy?" she asked.
The wolf shook its head, and walked toward her. It rubbed its head on her arm, and whined a little.
"Oh, is it that you want to sleep with me?" she smiled, and it nodded. "Come, wolfie, let's get you comfy."
They went to her room, and she jumped on to her bed first.
"Come, wolfie, climb on, I'll help you up. Don't jump onto the bed, it will hurt your leg." She patted her bed.
The wolf slowly got up, and lay down beside her. It's like a huge teddy bear to Elsa. Its sapphire blue eyes twinkled at her, and she smiled.
"Goodnight, wolfie." Elsa said softly. Then they both fell asleep.
OOOoooOOOoooOOO
