Chapter 3
Her face brightened at the words he just said, "REALLY?!" She said hoping this wasn't a
dream, did he actually say he wanted to be her friend? "But, just remember…I might eat you."
He said unsure. She suddenly felt more tears come and she dropped to the ground sobbing in
joy. He looked down at her not knowing what to do while she sobbed for a few minutes.
"Uh…there…there?" He said, patting her head. She then hugged him while he stood there
awkwardly and very confused. "Um…what are you doing?" He said. "It's called a hug." She said
in between sobs. "What's a hug?" He said questioningly. She pulled away, "You don't know what
a hug is?" She said in disbelief. He shook his head, "Nope." She sighed, "A hug is an action you
do to show love or gratitude to somebody I guess." He wagged his tail, "Ohhh…Thanks I
guess." He let go of her and turned around, "You can uh…follow me." He said. "Right." Ari said
following him. They walked side by side, Ari couldn't believe that she was walking beside a real
life beast. The wind blew his fur, and the hair away from his face. She notices that he had scars
on his face. How did he get those scars? She wondered. "So, this is your territory right?" She
said while walking beside him. "I guess you would say that." He replied. He twitched his ears
and scratched behind his neck. "Do you have a name?" She said curiously. "No, but I like to call
myself Wolf." He said sniffing. Suddenly he spotted a squirrel and attempted to chase it and eat
It. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" She said, "No you can't attack that cute and defenseless little
creature." She said angrily, "Bad wolfy!" He looked at her and let his ears down. "Sorry." He
said. "From now on you are vegetarian." She said. "Vegetarian?" He said frowning. "Yes, now
eat this." She said and then shoved a carrot in his mouth. "Buth imth noth vethetharianth." He
said with the carrot sticking out of his mouth. "Don't care, eat it." She said. He chewed on the
carrot reluctantly. "Disgusting." He said sticking his tongue out. "Well get used to it." She said,
He groaned. Ari looked around and spotted a bush with these reddish spots on them. "Come
one follow me." She said, skipping away. "What now?" He said as he slumped his shoulders and
followed her. "What are you gonna show me?" He said, twitching his ear. She crouched down in
front of a bush, "Look, it's a berry bush." He rolled his eyes, "Oh wow a berry bush, so amazing."
He said sarcastically, She pulled his tail. "Ow, my tail!" He said, whining. "Stop being such a
grump." She said. "These berries are very special berries, and they taste delicious." She picked
one and popped it into her mouth, "Mmmm." She said in Satisfaction. "Try some." She said,
turning to him, but he wasn't there behind her. "What the Heck, where did you go!" Ari said as
she got up, "Wolf?" She said, confused. "Oh well, but before I look for him, I'll grab some
berries." She said as she gathered some berries and put them in her bag, "Ok, now I'll go." She
got up and walked away. "Wolf!" She said, "Where did you go!" She sighed. "Here wolfy wolfy
wolfy!" She said getting impatient. I can't believe this, he said he would be my friend and now
he's nowhere to be found, She thought pouting. Did he ditch me? She walked over to a big tree
and sat down sighing. "Whatever." She said. She opened her bag and decided to eat a snack.
The sounds of the forest made Ari feel relaxed, she eventually took a nap.
