As I laid on my bed, my body slept peacefully while my mind travelled into the ancestral plane. I opened my eyes, and I was in my wolf form. Surrounded by large trees and an open, beautiful, colorful sky with shimmering stars. I ran to the lake. I wanted to meet Thomas. I needed to know about the hunters.
I reached the lake and I found him at the lake, he was sitting with the other wolves. I called him, "Thomas."
He turned, and he smiled and said, "Oh, Finn, you came… come."
I shook my head and said, "I need to talk to you… can you please come over here?"
He looked at me and tilted his head and nodded. He walked towards me, and he asked, "What is it, you look worried."
I asked him, "I need to talk to you about the Belmont's." As I said their name, some wolves looked at me. Like they knew who they were, but they acted like they didn't care, or that they actually didn't? Who knows.
Thomas looked at me, and he started walking into the forest, and I followed him. He hummed and said, "The Belmont's, huh? I didn't expect that I would hear that name here. What do you want to know?"
I asked him, "Are they like reasonable or are they fanatics that would just kill anyone?"
He thought about my question and said, "I honestly, it's kinda hard to define them."
I was confused, and I asked, "What do you mean? You were the one who wrote about them?"
He nodded and said, "That is true, but the truth is. I mostly fought with them. And boy, they were tough as shit."
I was shocked, and I asked, "What do you mean? They are just humans, right?"
He shook his head and said, "Not quite exactly."
I widened my eyes and I asked, "What?"
He nodded and said, "Well, they are also like partially blessed by Selune. Their blessing gives them pinnacle human strength, reflexes and speed. Besides that, they are kinda proficient in killing werewolves."
I asked him, "Okay, so did they kill you?"
He laughed and said, "Oh, hell no. As I said, we just mostly fought. They weren't able to kill me. And I think they didn't want to kill me anyway. They mostly wanted the Cooper's specifically that guy. What was his name again?... hmm, anyway. They were a little preachy about bringing balance to nature or something."
He then looked at me and asked, "But why this sudden interest in the Belmont's?"
I looked at him and I said, "Ah, because I am kinda a… Belmont."
He looked at me, and he laughed his ass off, he was rolling on the ground and I had to wait for him to finish. After like 3 minutes, he stopped, and he said, "Oh, son… you sure are a comedian. I haven't laughed that hard in decades."
I looked at him, and he stood up and looked me in the eyes and said, "You serious?" I nodded, and he said, "Well, shit. Why didn't you tell me before?"
I exhaled and said, "I didn't know that I was related to hunters… that's why?"
He asked me, "So what happened to Graham's?"
I looked at him and said, "Well, my mom and I would have been the last Graham's. But we took up the Belmont name."
He hummed and asked, "Why you did that?"
I looked at him and said, "Well, as I said, it's a long story and I don't think I have that kind of time…"
He looked at me, and he huffed and said, "Fine, if you want my opinion, I think until and unless you kill a human. You should be fine." He asked, "How many Belmonts are left?"
I said, "It's me and my mom."
As he heard that, he said, "Huh, you will be fine then. She will protect you."
I was confused, and I asked, "But they hunt werewolves?"
He smiled and said, "Well, the women of that family will protect their children at any cost. They are tough women. You will be fine, kid. I was mostly worried, thinking that there were some old men lying around. They are pretty jaded. The worst one was Lucius. I hated that guy."
I looked at him, and he asked, "What is it now?"
I smacked my lips and said, "My name is Finn Lucius Belmont."
He sighed, and he shook his head and said, "I still have no idea how that even happen. You are nothing short of a miracle."
I nodded and said, "Okay, that is kinda nice, I guess."
I then remembered my next question, "What do you know about Selune? Like, how did we come to be like this?"
He just shook his head and said, "I don't know. As far as I know, it was because of a blessing given to our ancestors. But I am not sure. As you saw, these guys don't like to talk."
I sighed and said, "Who is that creature in the lake?"
He hummed and said, "I thought I told you about him." He said after a brief pause, "He is Malar, the god of the hunt."
As he said, the name, winds blew violently, and he said, "I have a little idea about our purpose, but it's nothing concrete."
I asked him, "What is it?"
As he was about to say it, I was pulled out of my dream. I found myself on the floor wrapped in my sheets and I heard my mom's voice, "Wake up, you are late!"
I woke up, and I got up on my feet and I hugged her, and she slapped the back of my head and said, "You are late! Get ready!"
I rubbed the back of my head and said, "I was just trying to say good morning."
She threw me my clothes and said, "Good morning now, Dress up… and leave."
I sighed and put my clothes. She gave me my lunch and I grabbed a toast on the way. I got in my car and drove to school as fast as I could. The car rumbled and tore through the road.
I reached my school. I ran into the school and went directly into the class. It was English. I reached my class and I apologized for being late. I entered the class and sat on my desk. Allison was sitting next to me, she whispered, "Hello, Mr. Owl."
I chuckled, and nodded. I was looking for my book. She saw me look for it, and she moved her seat close to me. I saw Scott looking back, and I whispered, "Morning, dude."
His heart was racing, he nodded and said, "Morning." He then looked forward, but his heart still raced. I think I pissed him off. But I am just sitting next to her.
After English, I had Calculus. I walked to my locker and got my books. I walked into the class and I sat down at the desk. I opened my books and was doing some exercise questions. I saw Lydia come in, and she sat behind me. I sighed and tried to stay calm. She said, "Thanks to you, Jackson is not talking to me."
I chuckled and said, "I don't think it's because of me, it's because of the thing he has been talking."
She leaned in forward and said, "He doesn't do drugs?"
I turned around and said, "You claim that you know him and that you care for him. But does he? Cause if yesterday's incident is to be taken in account. I think he doesn't give a flying fuck about you or your "relationship"."
She kicked my desk and I said, "Okay, I'll let that go on yesterday's account. But you know I am right. Really think about it. And can you please just get past this school's queen shit. Life has so much more to offer."
She tilted her head and said, "It's an easy thing to say, if you believe it, then just quit Lacrosse… prove me right."
I chuckled, and she looked at me and I said, "I have nothing to prove to you. I am playing lacrosse because I like it and besides, I don't care what you think of me."
The teacher came, and I looked forward, and she grunted, and I heard a piece of wood being snapped.
The rest of the day went by easily, I was mostly left along cause, Allison was busy with her research on her project and Lydia was with her. She didn't want to see my face, and Scott and Stiles were off somewhere doing some stuff. So I had a pretty peaceful day.
I had lunch with Erica, and she also picked up on Jackson looking like shit. Honestly, if Erica can notice that, then it is serious. What the hell happened to him? Erica and I spent some time talking in classes and in between. It was nice to have a friend.
