Blood Shed (FOR HONOR)

Chapter 14: Rain & Wolves

" Dad's home again! " Helga shouted and rushed fast off the stairwell of their home. Rose once again was greeted by the laughter of her husband but almost cried again when she thought about what had happened previous weeks. " Father! Where have you been?!" Clayton asked and looked to his dad who had been wearing his normal home clothing now. " Where is your armor?"  " I was at war. But now it's over and I can be home. " He said, and ruffled both of their heads.

Rose did not greet Anheuser like he had expected her to. In fact, she did not greet him at all. She remained dormant in the kitchen.  " How is your mother? " she heard him say, as she sobbed into her hands, lent over the counter-top. Both children had fell silent. " She had the baby," Clayton said, but his head dropped. " R-Really!? Where is he?!" He asked. His eyes widened when both children had looked down and Helga had only hugged her father instead. "Father, mother had worked so long when you were gone.. " she began. "N-no.. Rosemary! " He yelled from his sitting into the living room.

Rose jumped and bit down on her bottom lip, and approached her husband. " Yes my dear..?" she quivered. " Where is the baby!?'

" He- didn't make it.. " Helga said, and her head dropped.

Rose busted out into tears, again, and Anheuser rushed to her side to hug her. " It's okay my love. I know.. I am so sorry!" He said. " I should have never left! '

" It wasn't your fault. I had worked so much- I.. killed him.. "

The whole kingdom had been gathered in honor of those who had been lost during the battle to end Apollyon. Many names bad been called, in honor of their bravery to save Ashfeld. 

"Christ'an Busch." the speaker announced. His own wife and kids wailing into tears, since their father/husband didn't reply. " He was a good man, and a wonderful brother to all. He helped what he could and did his honor into fighting to free us.. " Anheuser said.  " Be with God brother. We love you. " 

He couldn't believe what he was saying was the truth, that his brother and thousands of others had been dead, risking their lives to save others . " All he wanted was for Ashfeld to be a home. "

Within an hour what was the ceremony to bury those who had helped to save the innocent. Thousands of names had been called. Some in which no one had knew. 

We were all wolves, no one was leader of the pack. We all share the leadership, and we attacked in defense. Wolves hunt in packs. Yet there sometimes is not a need for a leader. We defended and took back what had once been ours. We were wolves: but. 

Not all wolves were in it for blood...
