Alone in the Woods

Chapter 1 - Wolf Mom

I woke up on a forest floor. My head hurt and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how I got here. I lived in an urban hellscape nowhere near a place like this.

Sitting up into a more comfortable position I tried to remember the last thing that happened. I was on my evening commute home and I think someone tried to cut me off while they were going full throttle.

I also noted upon sitting up, my body felt off. Not in a bad way, just different. Looking down gave me my answer.

I was naked. Wait no it was the other thing that was weird. I had… boobs? Um, okay those are definitely new, and then I looked further down. Yup it was gone. I poked at the new parts, not really believing what I was seeing. The sensations told me it was very real.

I forced my mind to change tracks because I couldn't handle that right now. I was lost in some forest naked and alone. Also, I had no survival skills. I sighed resigning myself to the fact I was going to probably die out here. At least I didn't feel cold, and it wasn't raining.

I took stock of my surroundings. I was in a part of the forest where not much direct sunlight hit the ground. The trees were also rather huge, and the leafy kind not the pine needle kind.

Oh and there was a really big grey wolf staring at me. Like horse sized big. I'd always heard about the fight or flight reflex, but I'd always been more of a freeze in place kind of person. I stared at it… her, and she stared at me.

I don't know why I was gendering the murder machine, but it felt like I just knew. Also I wasn't being torn to pieces. In fact she walked up rather calmly to me and sat down like an obedient dog. Did I get turned into some kind of wolf queen?

After processing all of that and getting over the shock. I tentatively reached out to pet the big borf. Its fur was a bit more coarse than I imagined, but still soft.

I began giggling at the absurdity of everything that happened. Tears followed shortly after. The big wolf looked at me with concern? I guessed.

"I just need a minute." I said with a voice I've never heard before. She just gave me a look like she could actually understand me, and then curled up around me. "Thanks." I muttered to my new wolf friend.

I eventually calmed down and my friend got up. "Can you actually understand me?" I asked her. She tilted her head. "Well if you can understand me, could you show me to a stream? I need water." She just started walking off at a gentle pace.

Assuming I was in fact a wolf whisperer now, I followed. Along the way I spotted some berries on a small shrub but when I went to pick some, I just knew they were poisonous. Actually, it felt like they had told me they were poisonous, but without words. Maybe I'm also a shrub whisperer too.

We made it to a small watering hole. Plenty of sunlight reached the spot and thus, all of the underbrush was around. There were some spotted deer, and a lone red fox all around the spot but they took one look at my friend and got clear of the area. Which was a shame because I wanted to try and see if I could get close. Alas my new wolf mom was too scary. On the flip side she was awesome.

I went and drink from the watering hole. Wolf mom did too.

After we drink however she began wandering off. I followed not wanting to be abandoned by my lone friend. Luckily the pace was slow enough for me to follow along, which had to be much slower than she was capable of moving at.

We eventually got to small cave, or maybe a den. Wolf mom looked at me and I got that weird sense that I was supposed to stay in the den. Even though I was really starting to trust my wolf whisperer talents, I still wanted to follow her as she swiftly left.

I was once again alone. At least I could sit down for a bit. Walking through a forest barefoot was… let's say unpleasant.

So I was a wolf whisperer, a bush whisperer, and a girl. Oh and there was a wolf way bigger than normal wolves could get. I was starting to get the feeling I was not still in the USA, or possibly even on earth. At least I didn't have to worry about rent. Wolf mom was way too cool to make me pay rent.

Sitting alone it was really hard to ignore my new body. Being naked didn't help either. I needed something to fidget with, and my new butt length brown hair was the only thing I had on hand.

A long while later wolf mom showed up with an oversized rabbit in its jaws. It laid the rabbit down in the den and started munching on it. She also gave me room to do the same.

A very bloody raw rabbit made me gag a little. I felt really bad, she had gotten us both lunch, possibly dinner, and my modern sensibilities were keeping me from eating. She picked up on my hesitation and nudged the corpse closer to me. The look in her eye telling me I needed to eat. To think fate had dumped the one person on earth who actually liked well done steaks into this situation.

It was really gross but I couldn't let wolf mom down. Also, it was so fucking messy. Once I had gotten into actually eating, I realized just how hungry I was and went a little over board. Wolf dens had showers right? The left overs were tossed out by the wolf after we finished, since I guess wolf dens also don't have refrigerators.

The sun was setting and thus I, a blood covered mess, cuddled with an oversized wolf in a hole in the ground. Sleep came fast.
