Ian:
We started our journey to Haiden’s pack. Along the way, he told us a few things about how his uncle was not happy about the academy situation.
Haiden explained that when he arrived home the last day, his uncle asked him all sorts of questions, like how long they were going to stay and whether the academy was really shutting down.
His uncle also said he thought it was stupid, since there were still monsters out there. Somebody had to fight them.
"Where would the lurkers go?"
Troy asked my father that question. They had many questions for him. Sitting next to the headmaster, who had once been just a mysterious figure they could barely speak to, pushed the two of them to ask even more.
"To the organization," my father replied, looking out the window.
That was his way of telling them he needed a break from their questions.
"Is there an organization?" Troy questioned, adjusting in his seat and turning his body to look directly at my father.
"What kind of organization?" Haiden questioned when my father did not respond right away.
"The council is the one that knows about it. I only get the lurkers at my doorstep. That is all," my father explained dryly.
That was his way of telling them he did not know more than that.
Even I was getting tired for my father.
"How is that possible? You must know," Haiden pressed.
As Haiden continued questioning him, I adjusted in my seat as well, and they immediately noticed me.
"Can we just wait for a while?" I asked, defending my father. "All the questions will be answered soon. And if my father says he does not know, then he does not know."
The two rolled their eyes at me. Of course, they did not have to respect my father. In their minds, they had been wronged, and they had every reason to feel that way.
What they did not know was that my father did everything he could to be better. That was all he could do. If he had not been fighting himself, he would have ruined the entire world.
What he was today was not even his fault, just like it was not my brother’s fault to be this way.
Silence fell over us. Finally, we reached the pack’s border.
