When I woke up my whole body was in pain, any movement I made just caused the pain to increase. That wasn't the worst of it, along with all the pain my whole body itched like crazy. The only good side to it all was that there was a cute wolf lying incredibly close to me. I noticed his fur was the exact opposite of my own, white with a black stripe down the middle. I was staring at him when he suddenly moved. He started to get up and stretched by arching his back and yawning.
He looked at me and said, "Oh good you're awake. How do you feel?" After a moment I spoke, "I can't move any part of my body without feeling pain and to top it all off my whole body itches like crazy."
"Itches?" He said, bewilderment clear on his face. "That's strange. All I did was put some leaves on your wounds to make sure they didn't get infected. It shouldn't make you itch."
"Wait. What kind of plant? Show me now!" He went beside me and took something off my side he came around and showed me a piece of ivy with three leaves. "You idiot!" I couldn't help myself no matter how cute he was, I was so angry at him. "What were you thinking?"
"I was trying to save your life!" I could tell he was equally angry at me,or was it bewilderment?
"Well, next time you save someones life don't use poison ivy!"
"Ohhh, that can't be good."
"It's not good it has the name poison in it."
"Hey, on the bright side, your wounds are clean. Hehehe." He smiled. I glared.
"You are so lucky I can't move because you would be dead by now." His smile faded. "Now take me to some water so I can get this stuff off." With his head down he walked toward me and picked me up. "OWWW!" I shouted. "Would it kill you to be more gentle?"
"I'm hoping it will kill you first."
"I have never met someone who is as rude as you."
"And I've never met someone as annoying and bossy as you."
"Just take me to the water jerk." From that point on we didn't speak a word as he carried me to a stream. He set me down into the water, no more gently than when he picked me up might I add. "There," he said, "Now, I'm going to be behind those trees over there if you need anything."
"Actually," I said slowly as he walked away, "There is something I need right now."
"What?"
"I need you to wash me." I could feel the blood rising to my cheeks as I said this.
"WHAT?!"
"I can't move remember. I don't like this anymore than you but it has to be done if I want to get the poison off."
"Fine, but only this once." He walked over to me and took one paw and splashed water onto my back. He started to rub the wounds trying to clean them as best he could. A little breeze came by making the cold water on my fur freezing. I started to shiver and after seeing this, the wolf started to work faster.
By the time he was finished, I was shaking uncontrollably. He picked me up this time he seemed very careful about it but it still hurt. He carried me back to the cave I woke up in. He set me down and tried to dry me off as best he could. When he was done, he sat on his hind legs in front of me. "You know," he said as if unsure how to approach the question, "You never told me your name."
"Tracy," I said, "Yours?"
"Jason."
"I guess I should apologize for getting so angry with you, Jason."
"Please don't Tracy, I should have paid more attention to what I was doing. You had every right to be mad."
"Still, I should thank you for saving my life. Although I would like to know what pack attacked me."
"Your welcome and that was actually my pack."
