I decide to take the risk, they are my only hope anyway. I pick up all of my power left and crawl closer to the road, where i fall down exhausted breathing heavily . " There! In the bush", I hear a female voice. " Azu, wait! You can't just rush in there, what if it's dangerous?", another voice comes from the distance. I peek my head out of the bush seeing a young woman coming along the road. Her name is apparently Azu, she's pretty small and skinny. Her blond, short hairs are falling on her shoulders shining in the sun. "Alright, alright. I'll wait for you then", she stops waiting for the second woman. She reaches Azus side taking her hand and begin to walk towards the bush.
I breath out in relief, they don't seem like a bad people. I watch them coming closer viewing the second woman, she is a bit taller than Azu, her hairs are long and blue reaching to the middle of her back. They stop around meter away from me and start to looking through the bushes. I whimper a little to make them notice me. " Pho there! I heard something", I hear Azu yelling and see her coming closer with Pho following her. " Here look! It's a deer." , her eye wide as she looks at me.
" Azu stop, I don't think it's just the regular deer", Pho grabs Azus arm to stop her. " Yeah, I feel the aura too, but I don't feel anything bad ", she leans a bit closer " Oh my..." . "What's wrong? ", Pho leans over her shoulders. I can see her face changing from neutral to terrified and I would swear I saw her eyes get wet, but her face exprecion change back to normal almost immediately. I let my head fall slowly down, because I can't hold it up anymore. Breathing heavily I look at them with pleading eyes. " We need to take her to the house as fast as possible!" , I hear Azu saying and breath out from relief. Thank god they will really help me. Azu leans close to me carefully taking me into her arms from one side. I whimper in pain and tears starts appearing in my eyes. I see Pho hesitate, but then she comes closer and take gently my back legs. The pain passed through my body and suddenly all turns black.
After few hours
I wake up and look around the room. For a split of a second it seems like I was just dreaming. But soon the memories come back revealing the reality. My body hurts like hell, but at least I'm a human again. The finding surprises me, but right then scares me too. What will the women say? They took home injured deer and now they'll find a strange woman instead of it. Or even worse, what if I shifted in front of them? They could contact the men chasing me or someone else, who will probably sell me to the freak show or something.
Millions of thoughts are running through my head. But maybe I can change back? Suddenly the doors slowly opens. The panic flood my body, I have to run away before they see me. But every movement causes so much pain, that I can't even stand up from the bed. " Hey , don't do that. You need to rest!", she rush towards the bed to make sure I stay laying. I lay back down confused, she didn't seem shocked just worried. " Ehm, aren't you surprised?", I stare at her still confused. A laugh escape from her mouth, " Hun, this house saw much weirder things and me too. We can talk about this later, but right now you should rest", she smiles at me and walk out of the room. I look around the room, the wall are painted white and empty, no pictures or watch. Around the room is standing austere furniture. As I look around the room my eyes are getting heavier and heavier and soon I dive deep into sleeping.
