I emptied my bag of everything I collected. Among the onions and carrots was a tiny wallet. "What.." I said out loud. Maybe I accidentally collected it from the ground? It clearly belonged to a human.

I put it aside and started cooking. Some carrots i found, onion and pumpkin seasoned with herbs and garlic. I sat to eat, straight out of the pan. I remember making that pan with my dad, we found a ton of raw metal and he wanted to teach me how to forge.

After I had finished washing the dishes I sat on my bed. By now it was night time. It was quite around, I hate quite. But I don't like noisy either. I heard small noises around my home, almost like steps. It could just be an animal like any other getting in the house. I didn't mind it.

"Hey, no no don't cry it's okay just explain." He still didn't answer but I heard his little steps hesitating to walk forward. Finally, after about five minutes of me sitting cross legged next to the bed he came out, he was shaking still. I don't understand why he was so scared of me suddenly we were just fine yesterday.
