† Chapter Ten †

«I apologize for the constant bothering of my children, Trey is the only one of them who does not hold a grudge against vampires», he sighed dejected.

«I see... don't you hold a grudge? You got Harry's mother and father killed», I said harshly.

«You're right Jenna, but those were other times, we are talking about ninety-four years ago. I was a different person back then, you know... I grew up alone in the middle of this forest», he said taking water from a piece of bark and sipping it, «I never had any present parents, that's why I care desperately for my children. When I found Carlos's body on the banks of the river, I saw the imprint of the sharp teeth of a vampire, the only one that could have been, I thought, it was Richard, I had the mind too dirty to think clearly. Over the years I've learned to control my instincts, and that's what I'm trying to teach them», he pointed to his kids, «Even though the only one who seems to be able to do it is Trey, I'm a little worried»

«What led you to take back what you thought of Richard?»

«When my little Bonny was killed a year ago. In front of my eyes. The Crow spoke to me and told me it was him, that I had taken a weight off him, speaking of Harry's father»

«I'm sorry», what he told was horrible, I didn't understand that...how could I...there would never be peace without war in this world...then he continued, «I need you to do me a favor, please persuade Harry to come to me, I need to talk to him. I've been trying to get close to him for months but he won't listen to me. Will you please help me?», he begged me, kindly taking my hands.

«I will do what's possible Professor Nathar»

«Call me Randel, I'm no longer your professor, you can call me by name, and if you need a safe place to stay, we can keep you here. You will be welcome!», he smiled at me again, making me even calmer. «Come, would you like to eat something?»

«Gladly», I said following him into a small wooden house.

Bunk beds surrounded the room, in the center there was a large table and a small door opened in the corner. It seemed really tiny to be able to welcome all the people who lived in it.

«Hi dear, you must be Jenna, pleased to meet you, I'm Lilya», she hugged me. She was a lady with long blonde hair and eyes exactly like Randel and his children. She must have been Trey's mother. My doubts dissolved when Randel kissed her softly on her lips, it warmed my heart to look at them. "Please, help yourself, I was preparing dinner but I know you don't eat our kind of typical meal, I can offer you some cheese if you'd like», she thoughtfully said.

«No worries, thank you very much», I smiled at her as I sat on a small piece of tree trunk. I wasn't kidding when I said it was all made of wood.I finished the last slice left and outside I heard one of Randel's sons screaming. I hurried to get up and I followed the couple out.

«The witches! They cursed Dullville!», one screamed retransforming to his human form.

«What? Explain better!», Randel exclaimed in shock.

«They cast a spell! The moon has stopped and it's dark in the city! It's turned red!»
