      Finding Home - Francesca McMahon

      CHAPTER 1

      FIRSTS

      The human world was strange. Not necessarily in a bad way, but she was unsure if she could see it in a good way either.

      It had only been a few weeks since Artemis had left the Forest to be with her Jamie, and she had already seen so much of the human world that she could hardly understand. Luckily, Artemis had always been a curious explorer.

      The first place she found herself with her new pack was a strange and extravagant Den named ho-tell. The place was like nothing she’d ever seen. Though, being from the Forest, that was the case with much of the human world. From high walls to bright, sunlight-coloured skies and an unknowable number of doors, Artemis was awestruck. Unfortunately, so were the people when they first saw Artemis in her barely-there bottom fur. As she came to realise, that wasn’t the appropriate thing for humans. They like to cover themselves up almost completely. Humans were very strange.

      So, next came new fur. Lots of new furs. Or clothes, as Jamie said they were called. Artemis wasn’t a fan. She hadn’t minded wearing them when they had belonged to Jamie; her scent of pine and lavender had been ingrained into the material, making them comfortable to wear. These clothes weren’t the same as that. These ones smelled of falsities. A scent so unnatural that the first time Artemis tried them on, she quickly tore off the material, the ingrained scent too bitter to her nose.

      Eventually she settled on lots of loose-fitted furs of various types of grey. It made her feel connected to the wolf within her as well as her pack in the Forest. The colours so similar to their own fur that it was as if she were still with them.

      Clothing had been an interesting experience to get used to, but she had, to an extent at least. After all that, her biggest experience since leaving the Forest came in the form of a large metal water box.

      They didn’t stay at the ho-tell very long. She and the pack were on the move not long after staying there. Jamie had stated that they would be travelling to her home via a metal box that she called a bote. This boat began a journey across a vast river that she could never see the end of. She was told it was called the ocean, but she liked thinking of it more as a big river. It felt more normal to her that way. Artemis had never known a world larger than the Forest and the human town. It felt unnatural to her to see something so
