When I open my eyes, I am back in a familiar environment, as I have dreamed several times about what I believe to be my home, I felt the feeling of welcome and belonging of returning home,
Entering the living room, I see my father sitting in his usual chair with the long newspaper covering his face. I feel a pang in my heart as soon as he puts down the newspaper and our eyes meet evidently the sadness hidden in his eyes
'I wonder if he always had that look'
I'm surprised to hear a voice that I don't recognize, I see a beautiful woman with black hair and gray locks
"Hendrick are you listening to me?"
I look into my mother's eyes and see a funny scene, as if they didn't expect me to be there
I hear the sound of glass breaking on the floor near her feet, and I run out to see if she was hurt.
"Mom!! Are you ok??"
I look down towards your feet and see that there was no glass
'This is a dream?'
When I hear the door slamming, I look and see a familiar face, only much younger.
It was Julian
I smile wide as he walks through the door and looking at my parents' expressions I see that they are looking at him with hatred.
When I look at where Julian was there is nothing left, I see the window and the house in front is on fire, suddenly I hear screams everywhere and despair starts to take over my head,
Feeling like I could lose them again made me despair, I ran around the house and couldn't find them, I decided to go out to see if I could find out anything
I see Julian leave the neighbors' house with a bottle and a cloth inside. Without hesitation, he lights the bottle on fire and throws it through the window of the house.
"Julian STOP!"
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
I hear crying and screams of despair as the flames spread and burned every floor of the house when the screams stopped.
I feel hatred for Julian at that moment, I see him take a shape like a boomerang with two accentuated shapes,
When he starts walking towards me, I feel pure terror, when he doesn't stop walking I put both my hands on my face to avoid the punishment, when he walks past me, I look back and see him walking towards the house when I hear several high-pitched noises and pure silence.
I open my eyes, and I'm in a dark place with only the light from the fire,
'What dream was that?'
I take a deep breath, perplexed by the idea of my brother being so mean to other people he doesn't love.
When a sudden thought comes into my head
'Why did my parents show so much hostility towards him?'
'Very suspicious.'
I look around and see Julian next to a fire as he is heating up something he probably found to eat.
When he sees that I woke up from a warm smile
"Herran, I'm sorry for what I did to you, I love you brother, and you know I'm afraid of losing you since I would die too"
I feel goosebumps when for the first time I notice that his smile doesn't reach his eyes, I feel my body start to stiffen before I force myself to walk towards him pretending to be normal.
I look inside the plate and see that he found a can of tuna and judging by the smell it seems completely preserved, I wonder if he really walked around while leaving me alone in this place, I finish eating when we hear a growl outside, as we had trained several times, we put out the fire and I started trying to find out where the growling was coming from, I look out the window in the city center when I feel great despair, a child the same age as me bleeding and surrounded by wolves, memory of my neighborhood being burned still fresh in my mind, I look at Herran to see if he also agrees when I see a cold look from him looking expressionless as they growl at the child and get closer
"Let's save him please"
He grabs me and pushes me down with his finger in my mouth before pointing towards the window and then pointing to his ear.
I hear a howl and I feel my heart speed up
A hunt began.
