Chapter 2: The little girl who controls wolves..

I continued to rest underneath the tree, and trying to catch my breath. Still in shock about my status .

Being an ordinary person was fine, but someone like me is a unique and rare thing to se in this world...

I wonder if there's any strong people in this new world...

but didn't that strange looking guy ssaid that I wasn't the first person who they've summoned to this world?

I have to come up with something, and fast. But now I should try and escape from this forest before night ccomes...

I continued to think about more ways to get out of the forest, and sometimes occasionally changes the subject. 

....My parents must be worried about me, you know, since I didn't answer their's calls immediately..

But suddenly I heard a noise from the bushes. It sounded like a animal of sorts was approaching from that direction. 

I was scared that I instantly snapped out of my procrastination, and sprung into a defensive position. 

"Who's there? Show yourselves!"

I ordered in a shaken voice. I bet it would make them more inclined to attack me...

The animal or thing, or person continued to creep around in the bushes. It went on for a while, until the noise died down and the place returned to the way it went... quiet. 

It's quiet again. I wonder what caused that sound...

Was it a starving monster who came to spy on me and have me as It's prey?

Or mmaybe it's just my imagination... if so , then it wouldn't hurt to have a peek..

The closer I got to where I heard the sound from, the more harder and heavier my heart beats. I even began to tremble slightly...

Am I actually scared right now....? I mean, it's only a human thing to do.

When we are aafraid of something we tremble in fear, or do something to escape from that situation. 

It's what we call "fight or flight reflects "...

When I reached the to where I heard the sound from, and when I cleared the last couple of bushes. I saw a little girl with silver whitish hair, and brown skin, and her eyes were like a pair of rubies. 

She was wearing worn-out clothes that have burnt spots. She was sleeping peacefully on the forest floor..

From her height, she seems to be around the age of 10yrs old. 

I was conflicted on going up to the little girl. So without any other way I ended up going up to the sleepy little light. 

As I creep up to the girl, making as little noise as I could. I stretched out my hands to touch her and wake her up. I instinctively glanced away from the little girl and saw a pack of wolves coming out from the bushes. 

They've completely surrounded us. 

[Growls...]

Hmm.... why are wolves doing here? They seems to be circling me and the little girl...

What are they doing....?

The wolves continued to advanced towards us. I backed away a little bit.... Suddenly the little girl woke up and sat up. Then I have a look at her lovely red eyes that looks like a pair of rubies. 

"....huh, where am I...?" She asked, clearly in shock about what's going on. 

When she woke up the wolves stopped, but continued growling. 

[Growls...]

Black smoke suddenly envelope the the wolves, and they disappeared in the shadow of the little girl. 

"So you were controlling the wolves all along...?" I asked her. 

She kind of tensed up and started backing away from slowly. It was as if she was afraid of me or somewhat shy about meeting someone strange. 

The one thing that stood out to me about the little girl is that she doesn't have any animalistic features like: wolf ears and tail, or any other features...

"Ahhh, you don't need to be afraid of me. I'm harmless..." I assured her that I wasn't of any harm. 

"A, are you sure...?"

"Yeah, I swear. Everything will be alright... I'm not going to hurt you. " I once again tried to assure her that I wasn't any threat. 

After hearing from me that I'm not a threat, she stated to calm herself down. 

Thank goodness she starts to calm down... I was sure that I wasn't going to get her under control...

Wait, am I a weird perverted person guy in her perspective? Cause I don't want to be labeled as a "pedophile " or "pervert "...

"Alright, I'll introduce myself to you. I'm Kyle and I am an Adventurer! So, may I get to know your name?"

I introduced myself in the nicest way as possible, trying not to come off as "weird" in any way. 

She started to relax more and more, and eventually she begins to open up to me. 

"Uhhh, I am Anastasia. I am the only survivor from my village. My village was recently attacked by monsters... and everyone else didn't make it. " She sobbed, and I started to comfort her. 

"That's really, really sad...." I hugged her and she began sobbing uncontrollably in my arms. 

It's really, really awful that she had to loose her home in a way like that... No friends, no parents, and no other companions...

It must have been hell living in this forest all by herself...

"Hey, let's get out of this forest before night comes and the monsters comes out, alright?" I spoke with a quiet voice to the little girl, Anastasia. 

"Okay!" She looked up at me and smiled happily, and replied to me. 

So Anastasia and I set out on our journey to escape from the vast forest..
