The Wolf Man's Will

"Are you lost?" The Wolf-man asked, 
"not everyone who wanders is lost" the wolf took a sinister look at the boy 

"Boy, I'm hungry, will you feed me? " 

"what will it take to feed you?" the boy held an empty look. 

The chains clattered as the wolf-man reached for the boy. 

Wolf-man fanged at the boy with blood drifting from his teeth

The evil you have, Wolf-man. 

The Wolf-man held the boy's arm "Meat, a lot of it" 

The boy approached the Wolf-man, calm and non-reactive. This could not possibly satisfy him, an emotionless boy would be flavorless. 

"Yes" Wolf-man said, smirking vigorously at the boy.

"is that an offer or a test?" The Wolf-man added. 

The boy reached the Wolf-man's collar and gently removed it 

"Hunt your meat then" the boy's eyes seemed more and more dead 

"do you know why i have been chained?" the Wolf-man fanged at the boy as he stood

"i lived peacefully with your kind, well, at least i wanted" Betrayal can be heard from the Wolf-man's Voice 

"until they started hunting me down" Wolf-man slowly began to step into the light and stab marks and scars began to show all over his body. 

The boy could help but feel pity. Even someone as dull as him felt pity for such beast. No, he was not a beast, he was more humane than the human the had met. 

"somehow, these chains saved me.  If i was hidden from the world. They would stop looking"

"Boy, I'm dying. Cannot be saved, especially from the plague of your specie against eccentric creatures like me" the boy touched his fur. It felt warm and wet as blood dripped to the Wolf-man's fur. 

"what will be your last will?" the boy askesd, 

"bury me, boy!" Wolf-man shouted with glorified dignity in his voice. 

"let me leave this world as a legend and forever i will be a myth to your people!" Wolf-man shouted again, the enthusiasm he let out left the boy at awe.  

"bury me now and live to tell the tale of the half wolf, half man! 

Wolf-man slowly died out from bleeding. As the boy buried him deep in the forest, not even a mark was left. 

And wolf-man left the world as a century-old told tale.
