Me and my sister's we're just finishing milking the cows on,that mildewy wet October morning are mother had gone in to town to see Father Abraham about her penence she was always punishing herself ware she never was able to have children of her own and blamed herself and God for punishing her yet she never lost faith as she wished to be reunited with Michael loran her departed husband who died at war in 1917 he was only 23 when he died and she blame herself ever since. My sister's and I we're not alive at the time but we are reminded every day of his sacrifices and today was no different.
As I lifted my head to take a breath from are long milking session a man stood at the edge of the field staring into our souls with his dark aura and his white grin which would make you shudder in a spot just from gazing at him.
After a moment his grin faded and he began to approach us and he took of his hat revealing his pale complexion and dark hair similar to my own. Once I saw this jesture I no longer saw him as threatening and approached him to talk like men despite the side glances I was getting from my sister warning me not to approach the man.
My word dear boy you sure do look like your father mind you my brother in law didn't leave much in the possiblity of finding you both and my word is that Julie, he said in suprise. You might not recognise me my dear but I am your father and uncle and you three are all related by that I mean you other sister Mary is it not,she is also my child and will be meeting us shortly when we get home that is he said. with a dark expression yet again another toothy grin the only things on him that were whiter than him.
in shock I couldn't not move nor think that was untill my sister grabbed my hand to show some support and give a stank eye to her supposed father.
How dare you show your face here after all this time she said in a timid parshaly hurt voice getting nothing but silent for a moment before he spoke again and said the word I thought I would have to drag out of him.
My dear child your mother was not well and died giving birth to you she had terberclosis and I was afraid if you got it you would get sick too, and with war begining I had to send you away whilst I went to the front.My sister just stood there tears swelling in her darkening eyes terning her entire face cold and lifeless longing for her father to hug her but he didn't step forward any further still smiling a Dement grin.
Once I noticed his white teeth I walked over to my sister or should I say cousin now as we where actually family to comfort her.
At my touch to her shoulder she wrapped her arms around me and I return her affection by wrapping my arms round her tight imbrase waiting for him to speak again but he didn't he simply left leaving behind only but a letter and a book which made me question whether it was all real.
In hooked in Julies grasp I got her to loosen her grip.still holding my hand she and I picked up the letter and the book which one read blank and the letter simply said we will all meet again which, sent a shiver down my spine for the rest of the day as if we where all being watched.
