The wolf
The first day of college Hexside was surprisingly not bad it was a small English class. Luz and few other students sat in front row of class and took notes seriously.. except for one green haired girl wearing a black dress who didn’t have a text book ,but took notes anyway.
Luz thought the poor girl was out of place and tried to offer a borrowed book to take notes but all Luz gotten was a cold glare from the girl who instantly walked out of class in a hurry. Turns out she wasn’t a student there according to the principal.

Few hours later all Luz’s classes were over and she headed towards the bait shop for jars of dead mice and worms for hooty and owlbert, eda’s barn owls that help deliver messages to customers. Now off to the Grocery store and get home before the fall festival starts.
_______________
The fall festival started sooner than expected and everyone was now parked bumper to bumper, partying in the streets ,Luz was sadly having no choice but to walk carrying a bag of groceries not calling eda for back up.
How she regretted taking a shortcut through the forest during a full moon.
Who knows what evil creatures lurk in there.
Luz didn't notice the root that was sticking out of the ground. She tripped over it , the grocery bags, jars went flying in the air and The cans and vegetables spilled on the ground.
"Argh, stupid damn root..." Luz cursed she wasn't feeling any better as she stayed longer , she NEEDED to get home soon.
Luz quickly stood up and reached over the grocery bag. then she went to pick up the remaining cans on the ground, but before she could, she heard a noise. Sounds like a cry of some sort; it came from behind the bushes.
Luz tried to ignore it but then it didn't stop so she decided to look behind the bushes. When luz saw the cause of the cry, her eyes widened. There was a green dog, no it was A beautiful wolf, with green fur, its left leg at the front was caught in a trap and was bleeding.
Luz knew that wolves are dangerous. everyone in town said they Are carnivores that would kill and eat its prey but this one was injured. She just couldn't just ignore that. Luz came out of the bushes and approached the wolf slowly.
The wolf looked at luz with its golden eyes.
"Hey there..." Luz said moving closer. "I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm here to help you." Luz said kneeling before the wolf.
The green wolf just stared at her, Then it looked at the trap. Luz tried to open the trap but it was a little difficult. ( weak nerd arms ) She managed to open it and the wolf pulled its leg weakly before luz let go of it. then moved closer to the wolf that was licking its wound.
Luz took out a Azura name brand handkerchief from her pocket and approached the wolf.
"I'm not gonna hurt you." Luz said as she slowly stretch out her hand to the wolf. ( please don’t hurt me, I’m trying to help you )
The wolf was looking at her as if examining Luz , if ahe was good to eat or not. Luz touched the wolf's green fluffy head and brushed it backwards. The wolf just closed its eyes.
"Good..." Luz said and tried to look at its leg. "I'll just wrap this around." she said wrapping the handkerchief at the wolf's injured leg.
The wolf groaned making Luz pull away. As if to say it was alright the wolf laid its head down. Luz sighed out of relief and continued until She finished.
"There you go; now that wasn't so bad was it." Luz said rubbing the wolf's Green head again. "You’re a Beautiful girl.. I better go, take good care of yourself and don't run into any more traps okay." She said standing up and left the wolf.
Luz got home and to her dismay got scolded by her adopted mother eda and barked at by king ( their dog ) for being so late. After finished eating dinner luz went straight to her room and went to bed, she hoped that the green wolf was doing okay.
Meanwhile at that time outside of Luz’s home by eda’s car , a girl same age as Luz was standing staring at the window. Her hair was like strands of green and her golden eyes gave an innocent spark. She was wearing a black dress that reached above her knees and her feet were bare. She looked down at her left hand which was tied by a handkerchief on her wrist.
"She called me beautiful ..." The girl muttered as she stared back at the window and left immediately before anyone could see her.
