He felt a cold breeze and heard a load bang, making him jump out of bed. He growled when he saw his friend their laughing. He went red in embarrassment.
"Oh, dont worry Jon, I won't tell"
Jon mumbled something. His friend held their chest in pain."HALP IM DYING"
Jon rolled his eyes. "It wasn't that funny luke" he crossed his arms
"Yes it was!"
Jon sighed and punched luke in the shoulder, luke groaned but smiled. Jon pushed luke out his room, while luke was moaning about something, but Jon wasn't listening to him and slammed the door, he sighed and rubbed his temples. He went back and looked at the time, 11am. Jon streched and heard his bones pop, he eventually made his bed and got ready after a mini arguement with himself for 5 minutes. He left his room and didn't see luke anywhere, Jon saw his mask and picked it up, putting it on and tying the knot at the back of his head so it didn't fall off during the day, he put his hands in his blue hoodies pockets and left the house, he breathed in and smiled. Luke was flirting with a farm girl, she laughed and Jon walked over, he grabbed Luke's shirt and started dragging him away.
"Bye! Meet later?" Called luke
"Okay luke! See ya then" called the girl
Jon mumbled something and dragged luke away. The girl got back to work. Luke started walking next to Jon so Jon let him go. Luke was smiling to himself. Jon rolled his eyes and zipped up his hoodie. Luke looked down at Jon.
"You jealous Jon?" Whispered luke
Jon almost punched luke but stopped himself "why would you even suggest that like, you know I'm not"
Like hummed and put his hands in his jeans pockets, some people waved at Jon and luke, they waved back but it's was getting cold, but it was nearly winter so the farms were getting their last harvests before the crops withered away. Jon looked up and saw a few birds above, he saw a griffin higher up. Jon said nothin as the griffin flew over head and into the woods. Luke elbowed Jon in the side
"Hey!" Shouted like
"What?"Asked Jon
"What were you looking at, I was talking to you" luke looked up
Jon shrugged "some birds"
"Okay, as long as there were no griffins"
"No there weren't any griffins"
"Cool, and we're you listening to me?"
"Nope"
Luke rolled his eyes and pouted, Jon smiled under his mask and patted Luke's back before his hand retreated to his pocket again. Luke smiled at him. Jon smiled h il he heard Luke's dad calling for him. Luke was the son of the village leader, luke smiled and ran over to his dad, waving to Jon as he left. Jon waved back defied looking at a group of hunters coming back from their trip, they were laughing and cheering about something. Jon watched them and saw a golden griffin feather in ones hand. They walked by. Jon looked at the woods and walked in. As he walked he saw more traces of a fight as there were broken branches and trampled grass. Jon didn't realise he had lost the path until he looked Down. He groaned in annoyance and looked back. He turned and started to walk until he heard two loud flaps and a thud. He looked back. Something was now dripping from a tree nearby. He walked over in curiosity and put his hand out, three drops of the fluid splattered onto his hand. It was crimson. Jon's eyes widened as he recognised what it was and shook it off his hand. The blood kept dripping. Jon looked up and saw another griffin feather, this on was brown. He climbed up the tree and inspected it. There was a low hum further into the woods. Jon saw the broken branches in the canopy and climbed down the tree, following the broken branches. The hums got louder. Jon tripled over a foot and fell into a ditch. He got up and wiped the mug off his mask. He looked up and saw a griffin infront of him. Jon panicked and quickly shuffled back. The griffin growled at him. Jon gulped and got up, he hadn't been this close to a griffin before. He started at it until he saw the crimson feathers nearby. The griffin lowered its head and looked away from him. Jon looked at it. He heard more griffins nearby and sighed. He stepped closer to the griffin as its head jerked up and glared at him. Jon shook his head and put his hands infront of him
"H-hey, I-I'm not going to h-hurt you" stuttered Jon
The griffin growled at him. Jon stepped forward. The griffins tail flicked as it tried to get up to escape. Jon stepped back and waited to get bitten. He heard a thump and looked at the griffin, it was lying down again. Jon sighed and cautiously approached it. It growled at him.
"Look! You're hurt and the hunters will definitely try finish you off!" Yelled Jon
"Yeah yeah, I'll just bite them again" growled the griffin
"He- Wait?" Jon started at the griffin" did you just speak???"
The griffin lifted its head and looked at him. "Yeah so? Wait....WHAT!"
"Okay okay, so I can speak to griffins" mumbled Jon
The griffin and him started at each other for a bit. Jon stepped forward. The griffin rested its head and growled. Jon humped and crossed his arms
"I'm not scared anymore, I know your hurt" Said Jon
"You don't think I noticed?" Grumbled the griffin
"So let me help at least"
"You're human, you'll just kill me"
"No I won't, I'm not a hunter so it not my role"
"You humans and your roles, so? What are you then?"
"I've not got a role"
"Ah. So your just a normal human"
Jon sighed. The griffin looked at him. "So am I allowed to help?"
"Only if you promise not to turn me into roast dinner"
"I can't believe I'm doing this but I promise"
The griffin nodded and Jon walked forward. He looked at the griffins colours.
(Here's the 'griffins' appearance)
The griffin moved its wing and Jon saw some stab wounds.
"I swear those hunters are getting more cocky every week" muttered Jon
"No shit Sherlock" hummed the griffin
Jon rolled his eyes and got up. He looked at the griffin "I've got to get water for that, so just stay here"
"Haha, like I can move anyway" Said the griffin.
Jon left the ditch and ran to the river. He stopped by a trader and bought a bottle to fill up. He filled the bottle at the stream after checking it was clear and bolted back to the griffin. The griffin was asleep. Once Jon neared the griffins eyes snapped open and it raised its head. Jon walked over and opened the bottle.
"Don't kick me" Said Jon
"No promises" yawned the griffin
Jon poured a bit of water onto the wounds, the griffin flinched. Jon patted its side. The griffin looked at him. Jon poured the rest of the water onto the wounds and took his jumper off, he put it on the wounds. The griffin laid it's head down and watched him. Jon sighed and sat down. He looked at the griffin. Jon sighed
"You must have a name" Said Jon randomly, he cursed in his head for saying it aloud.
"Hmm?" Hummed the griffin
"Do you have a name?"
"Well we all do, what's yours human?"
"Uhhh, well my name's Jon"
"Evan"
Jon smiled under his mask. "So does every animal have a name or?"
"You humans think your the only ones to have names? Really?" Jon was pretty sure he saw Evan smiling, despite having feathers covering his cheeks.
"Sadly yes, and how can I talk to you?"
Evan hummed and shrugged. "Not sure"
Jon got up and streched. "I've got to go back to the village, people get suspicious if humans stay in the woods all night"
"Okay, you do that" hummed Evan
Jon left the ditch, he looked back and saw Evan shuffling and getting comfy. He smiled and left for the village.
