FINDERS AND KEEPERS.

7. I Wish You No Lullaby.

Song of the chapter

Maroon5- Animals.

Two days have gone by too long and it's like they have dragged on with trying to sleep during the day and stay awake during the night.

I have tried to stay away from what haunts, but it's harder than you may think because I see her face everywhere and each time her name comes up I feel sick. I guess that's how you feel when you're guilty, when you know that when night comes you turn into a monster and the kind that does something that's unforgettable.

I'm in my Mother's room. That's the only way to get privacy, because no one dares to go in there but I do not mind her scent or fear her memories. I somehow feel a little numb when it comes to her and her death, wish I knew how I really felt about it and maybe how or the why's didn't take away so much.

Nothing we wish for ever comes true, right?

My back is against the wall, the laptop is placed on my lap and my heart is in my throat. Perfect.

When it comes to family lies are not even lies anymore, it's just something that happens and we can't help it. I guess the deeper I go into what she was thinking the more crazier I feel and the sweeter the bottle of my Dad's scotch tastes.

Her eyes.
Video 3.

"There's a lot you don't know sweetheart, but I just want you to know this... I want you to know. It's hard to go to bed every night because I know that when I sleep I'm a danger to people, I read the newspaper and I see what I do in my sleep. I haven't told your Father, it... he's still searching for the wolf that bit you and.."

I guess he's still chasing it while it haunts me and has turned me into it.

"A lot of people do not know about this wolf, but there's a legend"

Of course there is.

"Red eyes, some people call it and the name I grew up hearing was 'the Cursed wolf' apparently the wolf is supposed to bite one human and die, turning them into what it is. There's plenty of stories going around, but I sort of happen to have my own theory and one I think you can prove"

I'm sitting up straight, because this has caught my attention and I have to know more.

Another sip out of the bottle.

"What if the curse is about the wolf, but it was about what the wolf is? What is the wolf? I did a few research with a few elders -your father doesn't know that- and we found that your encounter with it...it knows you, Jared. Which means there's not just one and that if you kill the wolf... "

I might be getting drunk.

"You carry the curse and in order to stop yourself you have to find the last one"

My mother must have lost her mind to think I will find a wolf. I want out of this and I wish I never opened her videos.

I can't stop now.

"You should go back to the start, connect the fits and you'll find out... It'll lead you to it. I know you probably wondering why didn't I find it?... "

You know me so well.

"Well, I can't kill it. Only you can because you're a hunter's oldest son and it comes from the wolf's bloodline"

Why me, Mom?

"I know you would do anything for your family... Do what I couldn't and you have to do it before it comes to town and kill it when it's in its wolf form"
