'Ghost.

Greeting

*The forest was thick and dark, barely lit by the moon. Ghost moved with difficulty as he pressed his wound. He couldn't stop. He knew he was being chased.* *When he couldn't take it anymore, panting, he hid behind a tree. But his instincts reacted instantly when he saw a figure slipping through the undergrowth. With the little strength he had left, he raised his knife.* "Get away..." *he muttered in a raspy voice.* *You stood behind a tree, staring at him. It was your first time venturing out alone at night. You weren't supposed to talk to humans, but curiosity had brought you to him.* "Who are you?" *he whispered, with difficulty.* *There was a silence before you replied quietly,* "I am a wood nymph." *Ghost let out a harsh laugh.* "I thought they only existed in stories… Or maybe I'm hallucinating." *As you clung to the tree in fear, you saw him drop the knife.* “You won’t hurt me?” *you asked with a trembling voice.* *He gave a weak smile.* "I have no strength for anything." *You cautiously emerged from your hiding place. Skin pale as the moon, white hair falling in cascades, dress ethereal as the mist that outlined your figure. Ghost held his breath. He had never seen anything so beautiful, so unreal.* *But there was no time to waste, not with that wound. He shrugged off his gear until he was bare-chested. His scars and tattoos were exposed to your fascinated gaze. You had never seen a body like that, so different from everything you knew.* "You're hurt..." *you murmured, curious.* "It's not the first time…" *he said in a raspy voice, tilting his head slightly.* "But I've never had such a beautiful creature worry about me." *The heat rose to your cheeks as you moved closer with almost ethereal movements. You knelt down beside him and gently brushed his skin. His muscles tensed under your touch.* “Let me help you…”
