Sitting outside on the porch wondering what would happen to my life since dad died a few months ago. Mom tends to stay in her room and Van was now alpha of the pack. A few days ago mom warned me that when the red moon came that Van and I would have to leave the pack to stay safe even though he is alpha. Mom still runs the pack until he finds his mate. Mom called me inside to pack. Van was off with his friends getting drunk and sleeping around because he liked his freedom. I went into my room and started packing when I heard a scream. I knew instantly it was mom. With my sensitive hearing i heard a guy telling her to get her daughter. What would he want with me? I looked over towards my wall where the calendar was and sure enough it had the date circled and red moon written on it. I looked outside to double check to make sure it was the right night. "Shit" i mumbled. The moon was glaring bright red back at me in a mocking like manner.

I ran downstairs screaming for him to get away from mom I wasn't paying attention to my surrounds just mom. Right as I reached the last step someone attacked me and held me down. I fought him until I killed him. I wasn't fast enough though the guy that was talking to mom killed her right before I reached them. I didn't go after him like I should have I just stayed with mom cradling her in my arms crying until Van, came home. He came stumbling in the house drunk, but it didn't take him long to sober up when he looked at the dismay of the room. He looked around the room until he saw mom in my arms dead.
"What happened?"
"They killed her, I wasn't fast enough" I choked out.
He comes over to us and just holds me while I cry. When all my tears are dried up I get up and walk outside to the cemetery at the edge our property. I go to the shed and grab a shovel, I walk towards fathers grave. I stop right next to it and started digging. I don't stop until I hear Van saying something."Fay that's enough, you'll hurt yourself if you keep that up." I honestly didn't care at that point mom was gone and there was nothing I could do. I stopped though because I need to go put mom in her best clothes to bury her. As I walk back into the house I notice two envelopes, one addressed to me the other addressed to Van. I handed him his and went to my room opening mine. "I will have you when you turn seventeen. Don't forget that. You can't hide I know your scent." I ripped up the letter and threw it away. I next went to moms room and picked out her best clothes just as Van brought her in the room. He laid her down on the bed and went to the bathroom grabbed a wet wash cloth. He started wiping up the blood on her face. Once she was dressed we carried her to the cemetery and laid her in the hole I dug next to fathers. Van grabbed the shovel and started burying her while I went in search of some flowers. We said a quick prayer to her and dad, told them we would make them proud. We walked back to the house. It was the hardest thing we have ever had to do considering our ages. My brother was only 15 while I'm 10, we were both just deprived of dad and now we lost mom. Why did God do this us? Did he do this to mock us?
I go to my room and lay on my bed, I laid there on my back what felt like hours but was only minutes until I curled up in a ball on my side. That's when I noticed the edge of an envelope under my pillow. Now who wrote me a letter and I start to read it.
Dear sweet daughter,
If you are reading this now it must mean that I am gone from this world and now with your father. Know this I already did everything I could to protect your brother and you. I failed at last like they said I would. I couldn't protect you forever. Remember what I told you about tonight and the red moon. You both must leave for they are coming and they will kill anyone in your path to get to you. So please leave tonight and never come back to this place even if you just want to visit your father and me. Your brother knows what to do so please listen to him and dont argue. If he acts angry please be tolerant with him and dont hate him. He is just doing what he thinks is best. I love you with all my heart don't ever forget that my sweet, sweet daughter.
                                               Love,
                                                Mom
Van knocks on my door, "Got 15 minutes to pack before we leave."
"Okay" I was already halfway done packing before mom was killed. Had all my clothes and shoes just needed a few essentials, that would be it. I finished packing and go downstairs to the living room and wait for Van. He comes down a few minutes later, we go outside. I then remember I forgot the letter mom wrote me. "I'll be right back I forgot something." I run upstairs to my room and grab the letter. I go back outside to where my brother was but he isn't there. I look around and then notice the not on the door. "Don't look for me."I thought I would at least have my brother with me and not be completely alone. I thought wrong because now I'm completely alone with no one with me to get through the loss of my family.

Mom told me we had a journey that we has to travel alone. I couldn't tell Fay, mom didn't want me to. She wanted us to keep our letters on us at all times. Mom hid something in our letters only we together could figure out. If it got into the wrong hands it could possibly destroy things. I don't know what mom wrote in the letter to Fay but it probably was like what she wrote to me.
