The monster flew higher than them then dived down, tucked its wings in and rolled, fast.
They were able to dodge it but it crashed through several buildings, right before making a huge hole in the ground.
My dad sensed dozens of people hurt and trapped so told the man to cover him while he got them out.
He dived down then the whole bird evaporated when he got to a window.
He heard crying and followed the image of the girl he sensed till he got to a child, about six years old.
He told her he was there to help and, after winning her trust, started healing her hurt leg.
He didn't finish when there was another cave in and he sensed something bad.
He caught the girl and made a wall of ice to shield her when an invisible laser melted through the walls from the monster.
' He has learned how to use water atom lasers... that's bad. ' He thought.
The monster roared then banged its fists on the ground, making ice blocks grow towards the building and carry everything up.
"Hang on!"My dad yelled.
He hydroteleported with the girl out of the building, to the location of the nearest trapped person.
He had already sensed the man being burned by the atom laser, but couldn't do anything.
He carried the column which had fallen over an unconscious woman then carried her on his back.
He sensed a flood, heading their way and knew he had to get the people out of there, fast, or...
He hydroteleported out then yelled to get the monster's attention. When he knew he had it, he hydroteleported away again.
It followed suit and found him in a field, far out of the city.
It stomped on the ground and the branches of the trees and shrubs nearby, tore off and shot at him like knives.
He made an wall of ice to block it but the monster hit him again after he was distracted.
He got up from the wall of ice and it attacked.
He didn't want to hurt his son, in the least, but he was giving him no other choice.
The monster roared and attacked him.
He was able to dodge the first attack but its other claw followed right after, scratching him in the chest.
He yelled in pain right before it hit him down with its fist.
He was bleeding and hurt and the monster hit him down the hill.
He rolled down and fell by a tree then slowly got up.
The monster threw its fist at him but he caught it without looking, then he looked up to show his glowing eyes.
The moment he saw the monster, his eyes stopped glowing then he was stabbed in the back by the tree.
He couldn't fall down because the sharp branch held him up.
When it pulled back, he fell to his knees then coughed out blood.
He then remembered something as the monster hesitated, he knew what he had to do...a sacrifice...
***
The monster's hesitation wasn't too long then it punched him through the tree.
He fell down after the fourth tree and felt as though, everything in him was broken.
He couldn't even stand up again as the monster placed its fist on his belly, making ice start to form on his insides.
He yelled in pain as the ice started freezing his internal organs, but did nothing.
The monster raised its fist to punch him and end him, when he said,"You can kill me if you want to...but you're still my son, and I love you more than anything."
The monster hesitated then its fist dropped, right before it held its head in pain, as if fighting something.
It roared and broke through trees as he said,"Yes, son, you can do it..."
It let out a mighty roar, which was heard in the city, right before opening its blue eyes...

I looked at my dad and wondered who had done this to him.
I called him, but all he could do was smile.
I asked,"Who did this to you?"
"The monster did son..."
"I did?"
"Not you, the monster."
"But I am a monster!"
"Not to me, you are my son."
"I...I let me heal you..."
"Son, you can't...the damage is too much, forget this old man and rather, save those who need to be saved."
"But you need to be saved the most."
He chuckled then coughed, right before saying,"My time is up...I love you, son."
He closed his eyes.
I couldn't breathe.
Was this really happening?!
I couldn't control myself as I yelled his name, then a bolt of lightning struck down at the city.
The general laughed as all the Monster Hunters were under Adrian's control, till a bolt of lightning hit Adrian.
He looked at the man who was severely burned in horror, then looked back at the very angry crowd...
I couldn't cry as I looked like that, that wasn't how I showed my emotions, rather, I licked his wounds, pressed my head on his, and howled.
I placed him on my back then started running on my four limbs.
I got to the city and saw Adrian, who I had struck with lightning. I knew he didn't deserve it since he was also under mind control, so healed him.
I was so devastated I didn't want to think of who was controlling Adrian in the first place, because the person had to be at a higher level than Adrian himself to sustain it for that long.
I placed my father down and looked at him, then howled again, right before I felt someone touching me, it was Anneliese.
She smiled then howled as well, and I joined her...
***
My mom had been waiting for her husband to bring me back for more than a week and was as excited as always to answer the doorbell.
She screamed when she saw a monster but Anneliese told her, it was me.
She was heartbroken and started to cry as she slowly walked closer.
I was ashamed to be called her son, till she hugged me.
I was confused as to why she'd do that, till she said,"I know it wasn't your fault, and you are still my flesh and blood."
I licked her happily, till she asked,"So where is your father?"
I couldn't answer, but she already seemed to know.
She burst into tears on the spot and I licked her gingerly, I did that a lot.
I couldn't go to his funeral as people were still scared of me, and why not? I was hideous.
My mom and Anneliese didn't want to go either, to keep me company, but I wanted my mom to go, she was the wife, she needed to be there.
I was sleeping one night when I got that same dream again;
I was with my father in the archives, where the cabinets were stored. We said different sentences and did different things, till he called...
"John!"I yelled.
