Jon's pov

"I know mom I won't be out after dark." I called before closing the back door. I breathed in the cool late afternoon air. I shouldered my backpack and headed in the direction of the woods.

My family and I had just bought a cabin in the mountains surrounded by forests as far as the eye could see and I was determined to explore them.

I entered the woods, pushing aside tree branches. Leaves crunched under my boots as I trekked on.

I smiled at a passing pair of rabbits who were chasing each other. They bolted once they saw me.

I looked up to see an owl in the tree. I pulled out my phone to take a picture before continuing.

Maybe like an hour later, the darkness was starting to fall and I knew I'd have to be home soon.

I stopped a creek to take a break. I shrieked when something landed on my head. I stood up and swatted it away. Glancing around I saw it was a small bird fluttering around my face.

"Oh! Hello there!" I said with a smile. The bird tweeted and flew a little ways ahead before stopping and looking at me. I furrowed my brow.

"You want me to follow you?" I asked. The bird flew in a circle before flying deeper into the woods.

I bit my lip.

"Might as well." I grabbed my backpack and jumped over the small creek, following the bird.

It lead me a little ways before stopping and hovering over something on the ground. I pushed aside branches and gasped.

A boy lay asleep or unconscious on the ground. I carefully walked over to him, scanning his figure. His hair was jet black and his skin was a tanned shade. His clothes were black and torn up. He was horribly frail and skinny and couldn't have been more than 5'2. He was covered with dirt and mud packed onto him. I noticed he also had no shoes and laid in a curled up position.

I carefully reached out to touch his shoulder. He didn't stir. I began shaking him a little. "Hey! Hey man wake up! Are you okay? Wake up!" I exclaimed.

The boy slowly opened his eyes -which were a beautiful emerald shade- and glanced at me. He shot up and scrambled away from me.

"Woah! Hey it's okay dude!" I said. The boy's eyes were wide as saucers and he looked as scared as a deer in headlights.

I slowly inched closer to which he growled softly.

"Hey man, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to help." I said softly, approaching him like he was an inured animal.

The boy tried getting to his feet but hissed in pain and collapsed again.

"Oh, are you hurt?" I asked. The boy glared at me and cupped his right ankle.

"Can I help you? My house is nearby. I'll take you home and clean you up." I offered. Still, the boy inched away from me.
