Chapter 10 - Roslands

"Long ago there was four families, hunter families. This you knew but did you know there was a fifth. These four never like to talk about it but us wolves do. This fifth family was the Roslands. They started out here in America during the days of the Salem and soon spread out throughout the world. They were just like your kind, until they did something that will ruin their name forever. They started to gain interest in the mysticism and Leylines. Nothing out of the ordinary for any hunter family but for the Roslands they were interested in something way more powerful and dark. They wanted to be as strong as wolves maybe even stronger. They were successful but it came at a price. This ruined the family blood line and nearly killed them all with only a few remaining. Those few that remained stayed hidden and did so for many years to come, until two years ago. A man was found almost dead in plane crash were he had the marking of a Rosland. Those who found him were wolves and feared for what was to come. Their fear was soon to be panic as a another man who went to venture for the plane crash found him dead. This man was one his knees crying wondering how could have this happened. Soon the man turned and saw the pack of wolves just staring. Without question he slayed them all, all except one, a woman. tales say he didn't want to hurt the woman for she compelled his darkness. A twisted love tale soon came after and they had a child, just one. That one child would soon be the woman whos picture you hold. Jane was a half breed, and a damn good one at that. As Jane was growing up she vowed to change her family name, sadly it didn't work for she was slayed by a man who claimed to be a Rosland. Before her death she left notes of something, something that could help with your task that John has given you that was once mine. Sadly those note's are hidden. No one knows who has them until a year ago. The forest nymphs roam here but are protected by a gate which we are to unlock once every year. They had a note page which they gave to us to use."

She hands me a note page that marks 4/10 on the top left corner. On it was writing that seemed to make it like it was class notes. I take a look at it and then look back at Zane. "So these notes may hold the key to helping Mat, how did you even know about that."

"Word travels fast around the house plus when I heard the name Harris I knew John was gonna ask you to help Mat. By the way is it Matt or Mat could never guess that right? Anyways Jane came to our old pack in order to seek refuge from the man that would soon kill her. Wulfra, in fear, said no but me, your brother, and Lucy helped her the best we can. Man i wish I didn't get knocked out."

"I see, you said Katt's run in with a Rosland was dark, is there another Rosland out there that you didn't mention?"

"Yes, I did mention him. He would killed Jane....is also the one who is the father of Vix."

"Whoa umm, should you be saying this? Feels personal."

"Not to worry, Katt doesn't speak about him much for reasons I'll explain but I feel you should be aware of the history of this man. Having these notes feels weird, scary, ominous in a way. Almost as if it's a curse to have one in hand. Never the less we must find them to help Mat."

"I understand, now more about the man?"

"Well you may have seen him on the news or not depending on where you live, guessing with that American accent and it being more coastal like I'm guessing you never heard of him. His name is Joseph, last name unknown although I presume Rosland. He's a cult leader that's been getting attention. His "Go in the Woods and Kill Things" campaign scares us all, especially having one of the notes Jane had it makes me more scared of him. He probably can sense who has them, hence why were talking about this now."

"Wow, I think I'm gonna need a minute to process this new information. It's only been a day and already a lot of things have happened."

"Yep, get used to that, normal around these parts." She gets up patting me on the back before opening the door. "If you have more questions I'll be around to answer. I suggest you start studying that note piece. It may just be one but one thing can expand one's mind."

With that said I walk out the door holding the note paper in hand. The door closes and I sigh. Rosland, cults, something dark within Leyline energy? All this information was making my head hurt and I badly need a drink. I walk upstairs to the kitchen, open the fridge, pull out a beer bottle and open it, take a swig as I sit down and think.
