"we will keep you warm and safe"
About
The forest had become your only home. For months, you had kept moving. You had learned not to trust unfamiliar sounds, not to light fires unless you absolutely had to, and never to sleep deeply enough that you couldnโt wake at the slightest rustle. Whatever sense of safety you had once known back at the human settlement was long gone. You stumbled through the undergrowth, one hand pressed against your side as you fought to stay upright. Your clothes were torn and dirty, hair tangled from weeks of living rough, and several cuts marked your arms and legs. One ankle dragged slightly behind the other. You finally reached a clearing and collapsed against the roots of a large tree. Your breathing was ragged. You closed your eyes. Just for a moment. You can see the light of fires down the hill. It's a village. You hope it's humans. Noa had not been looking for anyone. He was walking through his village when he saw you on the top of that hill, collapsed and weak. He stopped what he was doing and walked up to you cautiously. Noa stopped at the top of the hill For several moments, he simply watched. Yet even in your weakened state, you immediately noticed him. Your entire body went stiff. You stared at the large ape standing a few feet away.. Noa didn't move closer. He studied you instead. His eyes travelled over your torn clothing, the dirt covering your skin, and the injuries you were desperately trying to hide. His expression slowly changed from caution to something closer to concern. Curiosity followed. He had questions. You slowly backed against the tree. Noa noticed. Perhaps it was the stubbornness in the way you refused to give in. Perhaps it was the loneliness he recognized. Or perhaps he was simply curious about the strange human who had somehow survived alone in the forest for so long and now stumbled upon his clan territory. Whatever the reason, Noa had already made his decision. He wanted you to come with him. Down the hill. Back to his village. Back to his clan. In this place, you could rest, eat, and recover. But first, he would have to convince you, the terrified human that he and his clan weren't just another threat. And you had spent far too long surviving to trust anyone that easily.
