Jhon

In the middle of her escape, she walked between mountains almost naked through a place she didn't know. Her only feat was to become a wolf and free all those girls, but she was adrift and did not know where to go. He just fled aimlessly for several days without eating anything but fruit from some remote trees in certain areas.

When he finally arrived at a road of mud and stones, he stayed there to rest a little, he could start a life again, but he did not know where he was. Perhaps the people of this place did not even speak his language and he would feel uncomfortable.

From the place where she was she saw what seemed to be a city, but she was afraid because she was not wearing a proper clothing, just a kind, a towel on top that was too dirty, even though she washed it every time she saw a river. She was afraid that people would treat her badly. She hesitated to go to that place, but a chariot was coming from far away.

Jade stood still and tried to wait to see what would happen. She just wanted to know if these people could help her. She was nervous, her hands were shaking, and she felt anxious.

When the carriage stopped, a young man with frizzy black hair got out and spoke to her.

"Are you all right, miss?" were the words he said to her, but she didn't understand that language, so she didn't know what to do.

A somewhat polite man stepped out of the carriage. He was wearing a kind of black vest and was dressed in some overcoats. He was somewhat tall, red hair and blue eyes. About thirty years old, when he saw her, he went over to her and covered her with a vest.

"Are you lost?" was the question he asked her, but she did not understand him.

Both men spoke in another language, but Jade did not. The two tried to decide what to do with her.

"My lord, what shall we do with the girl?"

"I will take her to my house. Maybe she's sick, she's kind of dirty."

"She might make you sick too. We'd better leave her."

"No, never mind, death stalks us everywhere."

He took her by the shoulders and tried to guide her to his chariot. Jade didn't know if she would let him touch her, but her feet were already a little tired. She had been walking aimlessly for almost a week, and it was already difficult for her to keep standing.

When the three of them arrived at the city of the moles. It was quite a big place. There were dozens of houses of all strata. It was so named because there were a lot of moles, sometimes they would get into the houses. So they tried to keep them away from this place, but sometimes they came back.

The man took her to his house, a pretty big place with ten rooms, it used to be a palace, but its former owner died. The place had eight white rooms. Jhon went with her to a room where he healed wounded people. It had a bed with white sheets, a bucket and a window.

He put on some white clothes and tried to indicate to her that she should sit down to check her, but the girl was scared,

She felt that this man was something mysterious.

When he approached her. Jade took her by the hands with superior strength, kneeling him to the floor. The man didn't know what to do; however, his friend opened the door and saw that scene.

"Doctor what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, she's a little scared, go away, you'll scare her more!"

The boy hesitated a lot, he didn't know whether to leave or not, he didn't want to leave him alone.

"Do it already!"

He went out and left them alone. Until she let him go.

The doctor tried to gain her trust, seeing that they couldn't communicate. He cut his palm with a knife. That left her bewildered and somewhat frightened. The man took some kind of cloth and covered himself.

 He tried to see if she could decipher the message; however, she thought he was a madman.

Things got worse, and he only thought of getting clothes for the girl, so she could take a bath. Jade said a few words in his language.

"What do you want to do?"

But he didn't understand her, though at least he already knew that the girl did speak. He went to the door and shouted to his employee.

"Arturo, bring me some clothes for the girl and a meal for her and me!"

While he was distracted, Jade opened a drawer where he had various instruments to cure a person, she understood at last that he was a doctor, although she thought he was quite crazy. Jade went to him and took him by the hands. He was a little scared when he saw how close she was and how fast she did it. It wasn't normal for a human to be so fast.

He watched as, gently, she took off the jacket she gave him and showed him the wounds on her body.

He was shocked to see the bruises and cuts she had. He knew she was a woman who was kidnapped from somewhere and perhaps escaped. He took her hands and guided her to the bed to heal her, he knew it would take some time, but it was his job to help people.

He began to examine her feet and saw dozens of lacerations from walking barefoot. He thought to help her bathe with hot water to remove all the batteries that were nearby. This was the new recommendations for taking care of the patients' health. Cleanliness had to be one of the first cares.

He put the jacket over her again, so that Arturo would not see her, but the man came quickly and opened the door and brought what the doctor had, asked him, he was somewhat surprised to see that the girl already seemed calmer, but the man again gave him orders.

"Prepare some hot water."

"Is she going to take a bath?"

"I have to bathe her, she has many lacerations."

"Are you going to bathe her? Better let some nurses do it!"

"The girl can bathe herself, don't worry about it."

Young Arturo obeyed his boss's orders and went to heat some water for the girl.

The doctor decided to lift her from the floor and carry her, he thought because of the lacerations she had on her body. The girl was in a lot of pain, and he decided to carry her. She didn't like it, but she felt a kind of indescribable affection from that man that she couldn't explain. Much more than anyone in her family had ever given her.

She decided not to say anything to him, and just let him take her. To the place he decided.

[...]

Arturo filled a sort of wooden tub for the girl, and the two men left her alone to bathe.

The doctor closed the door and waited for her, he wanted to check her, but his employee spoke to him.

"You treat her like this because of your wife?"

"Arturo, I do it out of compassion, she is one of those kidnapped girls, she is not from this country. When she is well, you can leave, I will arrest her."

That man remained silent and kept stressing to her what he was doing.

"Do you think I don't notice? You treat her as if you knew her. The normal thing to do is to take her to the castle and let them decide what to do with her. You skipped all the protocols!"

"Do you know how my wife died? Nobody helped her when she needed it most, she died in a damn bed from a wound thanks to two thieves, and nobody wanted to help her because nobody recognized her. Do you know how I feel right now? They could have saved her and nobody did anything. I had only been married a few months and became a widower because of a misunderstanding. Who answers to me for that?"

The doctor noticed he was being too hard on his employee and calmed down a bit.

"I'm sorry, he's not over it yet. I've been grieving for three months. I'll wait for you in the lounge, give him these clothes."

"Doctor Jhon I'm sorry, I thought that happened years ago. I'm sorry if I offended you, I've only been here a couple of weeks and I need a lot of things explained to me".

"Don't worry, in time you will learn."

Dr. Jhon went to the living room so that the three of them could have dinner in peace, while his employee stayed to wait for her; however, he sensed a characteristic smell of wolves. She got a little scared thinking they had a female wolf in that place, but she couldn't leave without giving him the clothes, she just left her on the floor and ran to the living room to tell Jhon.

"Doctor, doctor, she's not human, she's a she-wolf!

"What are you talking about? Her hands are pretty smooth, I don't think she is one. Well, if she was, maybe in a week she'll be gone. You won't have to worry about her anymore, are you happy?

"No, there's a wolf pack among us here, they won't like to see someone like that, please! Save yourself some trouble!"

The doctor was quite annoyed by his employee's behavior, he seemed to be jealous of the attention he was giving the girl; however, she dressed quickly, long before that man could say another word.

She looked quite beautiful in that blue dress, even the doctor was somewhat surprised.

Arturo began to change his mind when he saw her and pulled the chair like a gentleman and let her sit down.

Jade sat down at the table, saw many forks, and was confused. One of the maids appeared and saw the girl.

"Sir, do you need anything else?

"You can look for people who know other languages, I need them to be remote and different."

"Ok, sir, I know one from my father, he was from the south of the continent."

"My name is Maria" He said in her language.

 The girl more or less knew what he was telling her.

"Maria is your last name?" she said in her language.

Seeing the answer, the doctor tried to speak.

"What did she tell you?" he asked.

"I think she more or less understands me, but I don't speak the language very well," the employee answered.

"Ok, tell him if he wants to go back to his family," said the doctor.

"Do you want to go back to your family?" asked the woman.

"My family?" replied Jade. "I don't want to talk about my family".

It seems that something happened with her family. She refuses to talk about it," said the employee.

The doctor understood that she had a problem with her family and tried to calm her down.

"Tell him he can stay here for a while, but he must trust me, he has some deep cuts on his back".

"You have serious wounds, you must trust him, he is a doctor, he will help you."

Arturo became somewhat annoyed and wanted to intervene, but the girl turned her arm and showed everyone a nasty wound that on the arm was the cut that almost killed her on the boat.

The doctor grabbed her and said a few words to reassure her.

"Don't worry, I will try to heal all your wounds in a while, just enjoy the food. You are home."

The woman didn't know whether to say those words to the girl, she felt that her boss was committing too much to a stranger.

His look was like a young man in love, which did not please the woman.

He decided not to say anything to her, as there was no complaint from him, because he was too fascinated with the girl. He did not even remember that the girl in front of him did not know whether language.

[...]

Back in the room he took various liquids to heal, disinfect and cure wounds. He started with her feet, left them in somewhat warm water and massaged them slowly.

At first, she sighed in pain, but then she was better, the discomfort passed quickly.

The girl decided to undress, but she still felt a little ashamed that he would see her naked, her family tradition prevented it, but she was no longer with them. She had to let him touch her, even if she felt uncomfortable.

Jhon noticed that she had a splinter in her back, which was affecting her. He grabbed her back slowly. I didn't know how to tell her to stay still because this was going to hurt so much. He wanted to call his maid, but decided to do it quickly and without telling her anything, since it didn't matter. The splinter was a little deep and with a simple push it came out, but he had to disinfect it.

The doctor knew that the night would be long, the girl still had some lacerations and fever. He had to focus on her well-being and leave his fears behind to help her.

Her worst wound was on her arm, and it was the last and most difficult thing to do.

[...]

The next day Arturo opened the door the hard way, he thought that the wolf girl had killed his boss, but Jhon was on the floor sleeping peacefully, while the girl was between sheets with some bandages on her body.

A feeling of rage invaded the man, but he could do nothing, because his boss would scold him. He tried to be sympathetic to him. Maybe he was trying to distract himself with the girl, he thought maybe he would use her for a while like most men did with the prostitutes in the city and then leave her. He just picked up the objects used to help the woman.

However, the doctor woke up and left the place somewhat self-conscious. Arturo followed him.

"What happened?"

"That woman is a Lycan, please don't tell anyone. This is going to stay between the two of us."

"Sir, but people like her are hated. You could be killed for helping someone like that."

"Imagine what she has suffered! If for us, he's a monster, for his family he's a curse. She has nowhere to go, but she could help me in my research, so I can understand them and prevent attacks.

 She is still just a child, I could become a millionaire with that.

The doctor was saying this to calm him down, so he wouldn't tell anyone about the girl. He didn't want to let her go. He felt an impulse to take care of her.

 The traumas of losing his wife had him very dazed and possessive about the girl. He felt that if he left her alone, she might die because of the unempathetic attitude of the people around her.

Arturo didn't like it very much, but he remained silent. He wanted to plan things well to get the girl out of there in a short time.
