I reached rosewoods by evening. Mum and dad called me n number of times to make sure are all ok. This place is so beautiful. I feel like to be here for the rest of my life. Hospital is very calm. Not usual busy schedule as you get in your intern life. Everything here screams peace and beauty. There are a senior gynaecologist and a paediatrician. Am here posted as the family medicine doctor. There is an emergency ward. You don't have all the high fi facilities here but you can survive. OPD is not so busy.. Hardly it won't go more than 40 a day. Usual patients. Nothing to worry. If there any emergency came, we can shift them to the neighbouring town. Some people here seem strange. I feel like so much mystery is hidden here. Dr Claire here's gyne asked me not to go into the woods, as you will get wolves there. Anyways let's see what holds for us here. Sr. Mary is my assistant here. She is a sweet old lady in her late 50s. She is living with her husband. Her only son is now in London doing some higher studies after MBA. "Dr Shelly.." " yes, sr. Mary." "hope you like the stay here. There is a small lake near your cottage. But you must be careful not to go there during the late evening. There is wolf roaming around. They haven't attacked anyone as far as I know. But you just take care doctor". " oh, sweet sr. Mary.. U are just like my mom always worrying. Don't worry I will take care of my self" " ok doctor. Dr Claire said u can join by tomorrow. See u then. Hope u like here" I bid goodbye to Mary. I still haven't unpacked my stuff. I have a lot to do. I haven't even explored my cottage. It's a small house with a living room kitchen balcony and a bath attached room. My bedroom is spacious enough for two people. There is cupboard attached to it. I arranged my all stuff there and had few photo frames of my family and close friends.  I still have Shane's photo with me. Us together was very rare. We were not that public. Not many from our college know about us. Only a few. And among those few some are not happy about us. It's all in the past. But still, it hurts when u get haunted by ur past. My room has a big french window attached to the balcony. It's really a breathtaking view from here. What you see is the forest in front. I was enjoying the view, but suddenly I get this strange feeling that someone is watching me. I looked around but found no one. Suddenly my eyes caught the view of the lake. I think of going there. It's so beautiful to stand near the lake. But that constant feeling of someone watching you was still there. I turn around. Suddenly my breath caught. There stands in front of me a huge wolf. It's really huge am seeing it for the first time. It's black in colour. And what striking is its deep ocean blue eyes staring intently at me? " oh  God please save me. I don't want to die.. Please save me".. I was screaming... I was about to run... Suddenly the wolf jumped over me. I fall to the ground. Wolf was over me.. " oh noo.. He is going to eat me.. Please wolfie don't eat me am tasteless " That wolf looked at me with a strange emotion... He started sniffing me.. What is it doing, going to me smell me and check whether am tasty... Oh, nooo... I don't want to die.. The big black wolfie started licking me over my face and snuggled into my chest... I don't know what to do. Its all touch and lick were giving me strange emotions... I thought of pet him a bit and started brushing his hair... Ohh it is so soft.. He further snuggled into me. We stayed like that for 5 minutes. I was scared to disturb him. What if he attacks me .. " Doctor, doc...." someone called me... I looked around.. Wolfie too raised his head. It was our caretaker Don. He was the one in charge of this place. He is in his late 30s. A jovial person I think... I don't know whether to scream or ask for help. Hey, buddy, a wolf is over you literally and you being no idea whether it will eat you or not. I think wolfie has other plans. He left me and I too quickly got up. He stands next to me as if guarding me. Without any reaction, wolfie left me. Don't know why but I felt sad. Anyways I went to Don. He was here to arrange maid service and food service for me. After bidding goodbye to Don, I went to my room. I was not sure whether am hallucinating or not but I felt a pair of deep ocean blue eyes staring at me through the window.
