I opened my eyes. I had fallen asleep? I wasn't in the tree anymore. I was on the ground. And I didn't see the wolf/fox girl. I sat up and looked around. Where was I? I started wandering the forest, not knowing what to do. This was the first time I had been alone. At the facility, I always knew that there were mans nearby. But out here, in the Forrest, I was alone i didn't even know where Calcifer was.

Then I had a scary thought. Was Calcifer even real? Or was he just a feeble attempt my mind made to quench my loneliness? It made sense. Calcifer couldn't be real. Was the wolf/fox girl even real? Or was that all a dream? I checked my wing. There was no hole, scratch, or blood on it. That meant, that the wolf/fox girl didn't exist. I kept on walking, even though my feet were starting to get bloody. What was real? I thought. I looked at a tree. Was this tree real? How could I tell? I felt it. It felt real, but so did Calcifer. I just didn't know. I didn't know anymore.

As i was walking, I tripped, and fell down a hill. After rolling down a bit, i Landed into someone's arms. There was a man holding me. And a girl next to him. They both had worried expression's on their faces. I immediately  wriggled out of the mans arms, and tried to run away. I failed epically, by tripping not three feet from them. They rushed up to me.

"What happened to you, kid? You look like you got run over by a train, and then ran a Marathon on broken glass!" The girl said. I scooted away from them. They could be mean, I didn't know yet. "Seriously, What happened? Were you kidnapped? Your clothes are so dirty and torn, and you don't have any shoes....." The man said. I was scared. They looked nice, but they could go mean at any second.

The girl helped me up, and held my hand. "Do you want to come to my house and get cleaned up? Its not far from here. And I think I have some stuff that could fit you." She tugged my hand, and I followed. If I didn't follow, they might have gotten mad.

We walked a little bit, and then we stopped. The girl looked at the man angrily. She motioned towards my feet. The man nodded and picked me up. "Your feet probably hurt, so I'm gonna give you a piggy back ride. That ok?" I didn't know what to say. I nodded my head slowly. The girl helped me on his back, and I made sure to hold on really tight. I didn't want these people to know I had wings yet. They might take me back to the facility."I promise I won't drop you, can you please stop squeezing me so tightly?" He gasped a after a few minutes of walking. I let go of him, and almost fell back onto the ground. "Gggaahhh!" The girl screamed as she rushed to grab me.

"You can hold on, just don't strangle me!" The man said jokingly when we were walking again. After a wile, we came to a small wooden house. The people brought me inside, and sat me on a couch. They told me to wait a moment. Their house was small, but it had a happy feeling to it. The girl came back out, but she had someone with her. Wolf/fox girl! She wasn't in my imagination? Or... All of this was a dream....

Wolf/fox girl looked at me, and smiled. She proceeded to jump on top of me, and hug me so tight, I couldn't breath. "Oh my gawd angel!! You scared me to death!! Why'd you leave the tree? The first person I decide to Care about in years, and they disappear after one day!" She said, still squeezing the life out of me.

"Wow there girl! Don't kill her after you just found her!" The other girl said to wolf/fox girl.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry angel!" Wolf/fox girl said as she dropped me.

Gasping for breath, I asked "who are you?" To the girl who had brought me here.

"Oh, me? I guess I haven't told you my name yet! I'm Claire, the guy that was with us is my husband, rocky. We just got married, were on our honeymoon!

"So wait, how old are you then? Like 30?" Wolf/fox girl asked in general confusion.

Seeing she meant no offense, Claire answered "I'm 21, thank you very much, you?"

Wolf/fox girl paused "um..... I'm 12? Ya 14, that's it! Oh, angel is to! We're um.... Sisters!"

"OK, I see no similarity between you two whatsoever...."Claire said confused.

"Look at our eyes, they're like, the EXACT same color blue. Wouldn't that be super creepy if we weren't related?" Wolf/fox girl remarked.

"Well I guess.... Oh hey, um angel is it? Yeah, angel. All the clothes I have that would fit you are being washed, soo... I can give you this weird dress thing my mom sent me in the mail to wear, it might fit you. It's right here." She said, picking up this weird mess of cloth. "I think its called a kimono, or something like that. I can help you put it on-"

"That is just fine! Don't worry I'll help her! Why doncha, um, leave so she can change!" Wolf/fox girl said, pushing Claire out of the room. When Claire left, wolf/fox girl sighed. "I am so glad I found this hat....." She said, tugging on the hat that was on her head. Claire came back in the room.

"Shouldn't she take a bath firs-" she started.

"Oh, I'll help her with that! Hehehehe...." Wolf fox girl said worriedly.

She had me take off my clothes and sit in a large white bucket of water attached to the wall. It was really warm. She had a pink bottle, and pored strange gooey stuff into the water. It turned into white foamy stuff! It was so fun to play with! Wolf/fox girl helped me make hats out of it, that would wash away instantly when she poured water on my head. She poured more gooey stuff on my head, and covered all my hair in it. She had me extend my wings, and covered them in gooey stuff to. Then she pulled a black thing out from under the water, and it slowly went away. I started to get cold, without the warm water. Wolf/fox girl turned a handle, and warm water sprayed at me from above. I stood under it, letting it rinse the gooey stuff, or 'shampoo' wolf/fox girl said, from my body. Wolf/fox girl helped me rub my wings, to get the shampoo out. After it was all gone, she had me get out and wrapped me in a blanket. She said it was called a towel. We walked out of the bathroom, and into a different room. Wolf/fox girl grabbed another towel, and tried to dry my wings. She failed, and we just let them air dry. It didn't take to long. She helped me get into the kimono, and also put this white and black frilly thing on my head. She said it made me look super duper cute, and not to take it off. when I was dressed we went back out into the front room.

At that moment, the man, rocky came through the door. He was holding white bags with what wolf/fox girl called 'food'. He saw me, and almost dropped everything he was holding. He put the bags in another room, and wolf/fox girl went to help him get more. I sat on the couch, wondering what to do. I looked out the window, and saw something that made me smile ssoooooo big! Waving at me from outside, was Calcifer!!
