ETHAN...
As if she read my thoughts.
"Your dad saved my village from a ragging wolf attack. He betrayed his pack to safe us, to safe me, but he wasn't the only one. There were soldiers there too and they wouldn't have been able to get out of there alive if not for Chris." She Pause and exhales before getting on with it.
" I was caught up in the battle when one of the soldiers, a young girl, followed the wolf which entered our crib. The wolf sniffed me from beneath the bed. She tried to shoot at it but the bullet missed the wolf so it turned towards her angrily. Just then, another wolf badged in and caught the other just in time and tore it into puckish pieces, but the young girl shot at it and it turned towards her fiercely and attacked her." She bows her head and exhales again.
"The knock off he gave her got her breaking her spine on the wall hence.. she died"
Jesus!
Jesus?
No i don't wanna use that name.
"Fuck!!"I exclaim feeling sorry for the girl. To think she tried to safe mum. But if she watched dad fight and kill the villain wolf then she should have understood they were on same side.
Fucked up shit!
"That's how I met you dad"
"So he was a good wolf then?"
I watch a smile finally curve at the side of her clamped lips.
"Your father was a hero wolf. He did only the right things and saved people. But yet, he was killed." Her smile automatically turns into a sad frown. I realize she has not even answered me yet.
"Who killed dad?" I ask with a serious frown and with anger in my voice.
"I don't know Ethan but it was a general"
"You never even bothered to investigate?"
"If I had done that, what good would that have been to me? Your dad was already gone. I would have instead endangered your life, so I just let it go and that is what you gonna do!" She commands.
"You will seek justice and not vengeance. Vengeance is a dirty game and it can end up getting you killed. If you let hate and grief consume your heart, you won't be able to think in the right direction, you would be a monster, you won't be able to control it and it will control you and you will start killing for pleasure." She stops for three seconds.
"I need you to be like your dad, he never killed for pleasure and never tasted human blood. Your dad was pure white fur with faint gray patches which signifies purity and once you kill a human tasting blood in the process, you become a black fur wolf and there's no turning back from that son."
"Why did the general come after dad?" I ask.
"I heard the young girl who lost her life that night in our crib was the general's daughter"
"So you asking me to waste my time seeking justice I won't get mum? Those fvking monsters killed a good man hence they do not need any good wolves nor mercy"
With that, I dashed out of the room and even though I heard Mum call me back, I don't even turn to look. I just went. So much for a secrete to take in. I had to get away from there, I can't even drive properly. Passerbys and drivers too possibly think I am a drunk. The more and more I think about it, the more it becomes even more shocking.
"Hence she's saying I'm a wolf then!!"
I start feeling slight headaches and I bring the car to a stop under a very big oak tree by the park. I can't afford to get into an accident right now, I don't wanna crash.
"'The headaches increase and he's hands slide off the stirring in effort to hold his head maybe hopping the pain will subside or something. He was fighting effortlessly. If not of the fact that he is evidently strong, he should have broken his skull on the starring wheel on which he was hitting his head.
When the pain starts subsiding, he lifts his head and look out his door window and his eyes fall on his side mirror. Just then, he notice a blue color pupil fading away to give way for his dark grey eyes to come into view. In surprise he shook his head to make sure he's not crazy yet and checked again but it was only his beautiful dark grey eyes in view."'
I'm aware of the fact that imma lose mum soon. The cancer is eating every bit of life in her but I must be strong, I wanna be strong and ready. I wake up and prepare to go see her. I arrive her ward and I notice a gathering of nurses and doctors there. I rush to the ward feeling like my heart will fail me before I get the chance to push through the crowd and see mum.I reach the door soon enough.Doctor Mark is standing by Mum's bed.
"Time of death, 9:15am."
