I followed the wolf pack until Dawn had started to come. The wolfs had taken me to a deeper part of the forest, where there was an old abandoned house but up in the treetops, where I decided to claim as my shelter.

It was a nice cozy size, with a small living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom basically everything I needed to survive.

So the first thing I decided to do was to take a shower, before going off to the closet town to buy clothing, food, and decorations for my new place.

It was about two hours of walking that I finally saw a small town. Which made me sigh with relief because I was already so far from the pack and my new home.

After asking around about where the closest clothes store was, I got pointed in the right direction. It was a small shop called  ' Natalie's Boutique & Spa'. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself before I walked into the shop hearing the bell above the door give a little ding at my arrival.

" How can I help you today, miss?", a young girl that looked my age asked from behind the desk.

" Hi, I want a make-over and I need some new clothes", I said shyly as I rubbed one hand up and down my arm.

The girl looked up and smiled at me. " Wow! You're so beautiful! But the twigs in your hair and the dirt on your skin is covering it! Oh! I almost forgot my name is Natalie the owner of this shop".

" Hello Natalie, I am Adeline", I tell her with a smile which she returned. " Well come on  Adeline! Let's get started!", she exclaimed before running around the desk over to me before grabbing my wrist and pulling me to the back room.

She took me to a chair that had a small sink rising behind it. " Sit down and I will wash your hair and brush it", she instructed.

I sat down and closed my eyes as she started to work out the tangles of my hair while she hummed a tune.

After she had washed, dried, and then washed my hair again, she took a brush and started styling my long brown ombre hair.

" There", she said after a short silence of just touching and arranging my long hair. She turned the chair towards the mirror and I gasped in amazement, it felt like I had finally had become the girl I wanted to be both on the inside and out.

Next, she helped me out of the chair and then led me to a bathroom that had a tub with warm water and rose petals in it.

" You can use any soap, for your body. While you bathe I will be looking for the perfect outfit for you", Natalie told me before walking out and closing the door behind her.

Quickly I stripped out of my old and dirt-smeared clothes and slipped into the awaiting warm water.

When the water hit my long deep open gash on my thigh, I hissed out in pain before slipping in the whole way, thinking of things to keep my mind off of the pain.

Pretty soon the pain faded away to a dull throbbing, fixing one problem but leaving the next. The gash was gushing blood at an alarming rate staining the water crimson.

" NATALIE!", I yelled.

" Adeline?! Are you okay?", I heard her yell back as her footsteps approached the closed door.

" No, I have this really deep gash and it is now gushing blood! The water is stained with my blood!", I explained as my breathing started to get heavy.

" Omg! Adeline, don't close your eyes! I will be right back! I am going to go grab the pa- I meant doctor from across the street!", she told me before running away from the closed door and then through the shop and out the front door.

I closed my eyes and counted to 10 refusing to look down at the blood-filled water. I have seen blood before but only on someone else or an animal, but it was different when you are the one that is bleeding.

My eyes opened when the door to the bathroom that I was in slammed open. " Adeline, omg!", I heard Natalie cry from the doorway. 

My eyes flickered to the young attractive looking male that was gazing at my deep gash with concern. 

" You are going to need at least five or maybe six at the most stitches", he spoke looking me in the eyes.

" But I am going to leave the room and Natalie will help you put on clothes", he told both me and Natalie.

Natalie wasted no time, grabbing an outfit and then running back into the bathroom. She handed me a big fluffy towel and I dried myself carefully making sure I didn't make the gash worse when I got to it.

Natalie helped me pull the underwear up over the gash, while I finished putting on the bra and then the shirt. We did the same procedure with the shorts making sure that the rough fabric didn't scrape against the wound.

I walked out of the bathroom and to where the young male was waiting at the front of the store. Natalie helped him straighten out my leg so that he could get to work. 

" Alright, Adeline I am going to give you some medicine to numb the area around the gash so you can't feel anything".

I nodded and Natalie grabbed my hand and squeezed it gently like she was asking if I was feeling okay. I squeezed her hand back trying to tell her that I was fine, just a little tired and dizzy from everything that had happened in the last day and a half.

I felt a sharp pinch and I closed my eyes tightly and held onto Natalie's hand for dear life. I stayed like that until he had finished stitching the gash.

" Okay, I'm done", he spoke softly as I opened my eyes and looked down at the gash that was now neatly stitched up:

" Thank you so much", I said as I looked into his eyes. He nodded and gave Natalie a small pill bottle.

" Give this tablet to her twice a day for the next four days", he sternly said as Natalie nodded.

" Okay, I will. Thank you so much, Oliver".

" No problem".

After he left I quickly fell asleep letting my body begin to heal all the other small cuts I had gotten when running from the hunters.
