Chapter Two
It would be hard for anyone who brought up a new tales every night for a child’s pleasure. It was like the classics of One Thousand and One Night or The Liaozai of China, the latter no-one truly understood in the Western World. I admit that I had no money to indulge in Chinese literature. But I did find a copy of The Liaozai lying around the garage in a cleaning chore. That is a great book to which I could only compare to Star Trek in the modern days. It is folklore, romance, morality teacher and even crime scene investigation…… I was ignorant of its immensity up to that point. The author Mr. Po is timeless in a sense, too.
Wolf Change
The story must cut to the time when Yonger received a phone call from the Forest School. There was an accident that was essentially unheard of in Canadymolla (or Death Valley). Cinderia had appeared after a daring duel on the cliff of Forbidden Forest. Her arrival on this dangerous ground was wholly voluntary, and the school could find no-one to blame. She raced (against warning) to the cliff and shot herself to the mid-air of a cliff. Death would have been instant, no argument, but she was alive after she fell to the bottom of a cliff. But she did not die, and a boy called Bino brought her back to school. He was witnessed to be bleeding around the corner of his mouth. With an immense strength, he towed the girl (still with her ski) to the sickbay and requested an immediate blood transfusion to save her.
The nurses almost refused to compromise to his wish, as the boy himself had equally damaged as the girl. The boy insisted and promised he would survive after the transfusion to prove his point. If the nurses had more to their doubt, he showed them that he had enough life to tow a girl to the school. So the nurses finally agreed to his dare, and it seemed all come to a good end. It was a full moon night. It would have been so heart-warming to see a young girl cuddling up his hero boyfriend. The nurses left the pair alone…… and returned when they heard an explosion of a door. The nurses came back in a shocking stance, looking at an impossible scene where a boy escaped sickbay with his badly injured girlfriend. And there were clusters of white fur scattering all over the doorway, too.
Home Return
Yonger would be a liar if he said he was quite indifferent to the accident. Shan and her man even held a combined funeral to justify the departure of Bino and Cinderia. Time has mercy on them, and they lived a relatively quiet life until another incidence came into their life. Over another summer night, a white cat jumped to the window sill of Yonger’s bedroom. He would be mostly tolerant of animal intrusion, but the cat came night after night. Sometimes the cat broke into the house, and drank the milk from the fridge (with an impossible agility).
When the cat’s purring continued over a month, he took a shotgun and sniped the cat out of the window. It was the beginning of another mystery – he found a letter under which the cat had sat on the window sill. It was all human writing, too. It translated to something like the following. I am Cinderia, and pray that you would not be saddened by this eventually. In fact, I enticed you to shoot me out of the window because I am a cat now.
The story should wind back to a time shortly before Cinderia raced down to the bottom of a cliff. Bono had appeared out of the blue, with impossibility, caught my ski with his bare teeth and fell down with her. She would meet her death with him. But Bono is not what we thought he is. He was the legendary Albino Wolf of the Forbidden Forest. I shall say no more about him for now.
With an immense effort, he towed me back to the Forest School. I was close to death, hanging on, he told me there was one way to save me out of great risk. He had a godforsaken regenerative power in his blood. Through a blood transfusion, he could save me at a cost. Nobody knows what a blood transfusion like that would do to a person. Last time, something like this transfusion changed him into a human being.
Alas, Bono was a wolf, not human being. Once upon a time, there were a lot of albino wolves living on top of the mountain in the Forbidden Forest. One unnamed male offspring left his pack in an excursion, and nearly died lafway down the mountain. And there was a crazy girl who loved to venture up the mountain, against her parents’ warning, picked up a young Albino and brought him to a hunting cottage. After she nursed him back to his wellbeing, and fed him the human food that the Albino would never chance to have.
She professed that she loved him so much, and she would come time after time to see. The Albino was full of hope, and was named Bino in the human way. The girl happily went home, and told her parents that she would marry an albino wolf and take him as their son-in-law.
The result was a disaster, no less. It would not be so strange because any villager would shoot a horse on the road with a broken leg, or a lamb too sick to return to a farm. So her parents give her a bottle of cyanide to end Bino’s suffering after his last supper. The girl was a fool in a sense, and plucked up her courage to do the evil deed. She succeeded and left with a hurry. Bino laid in a coma and was also dead when an old man came along in another bottle. He saw what a little girl was capable of and said, “Maybe you can live longer than her. Would you like that, Bino?”
