Lunas POV
Running out of the woods then into my yard, I barged in my house and looked for my dad.

" Dad? Father? Where are you?" Yelling in happiness and out of breath.

" in the attic!" He yelled back.

" hey dad! You can not believe what just happened!" I said while climbing up the ladder.

" okay thats great honey. But have you seen my raffle?" He replied not bothering to ask what happened.

I looked around the room for his gun then i found right in the corner. I took it and gave it to my father.

" thanks" he said not looking at me.

" umm dad is everything all right?" I ask worried

" just a little bit stressed dear." He replied going down the attic.

" oh and where are you going?" I ask again

" Im going to work"

" but its Monday and Monday is your day off!" I said annoyed.

Ever since he started to be a wolf hunter he hasn't have any rest. His day off is every Monday. But his boss, who I don't know who, keeps on calling him. Whoever his boss is, he is really making my dad suffer.

" i know sweetie but my boss just called and she said that we will have a meeting in the forest."

" who is this boss anyway?" I ask

" ms. Ray. She is the owner of the company."

What company you ask? Its a wolf sanctuary where we rehabilitate the 'not savage' wolves.

What i mean by 'savage' is that wolves are going crazy. People say it was a virus for wolves. The company where my dad works are still figuring out whats happening to the wolves. The wolves that went savage already are killed. Since we still have no antidote, they decided to kill them. Why cant they keep it in the sanctuary? Its simple, savage wolves can escape, kill and eat people that get on their way. It actually happened once.

" but dad i have to tell something to you" i said

" maybe you can wait until i get home" he answered

" but dad you come home really really late. Then you wont here what I'm going to say!" I basically shouted at him.

" i know honey but you have to wait." He said getting annoyed

" but dad-"

"LUNA!" He shout frustrated

I wasn't scared i got used to this since he's stressed all the time.

" luna... i have to go, please, just tell me later on." He said calmly

"... sure, fine" i said and i forced a little smile.

" good. I have to go love." He said and kissed my forehead

" okay."

I walked him out of the house and watched him get in his pick up truck then leave. So right now I'm at home all alone and got nothing to do. It was 8:30 and i still have 30 more minutes to do something. Yes i sleep at 9pm. Got a problem?

•••

So what i did since i was bored, i roamed around my house. I got an apple from the kitchen then went up the stairs and go pass my dads room then mine. Then i went back down and went straight to the office.

I was there walking slowly and admiring dads and i's old photos together. Looking at it, i was wondering where are the photos with my mom and Zoe. Until an idea popped in my head.

I went up to the attic and search for some boxes with old pictures. Looking around the room i had no luck. There was no box with old photos. Its impossible, dad wont just throw them away. Or did he? Or he just kept it someplace else. But why will he keep it. Does he not want to see them or he is still in pain when he sees their faces.

With no luck i went down the attic and go straight to my room. It is now 8:45 and i still have a few more minutes to kill before i go to sleep.

I wonder how my mom was like. Does she have dark blue hair like me or does she have my eyes? I bet Zoe will be very pretty unlike me. Probably she will have hair like me or dads.

Thinking about it makes me want to hunt for the pictures more but I'm too lazy. Wait! If he is hiding it probably he hid it in his room.

Jumping out of bed, i walked out of my room to the next door to my right. I walked into my fathers room and looked around. Everything was so modern and clean, I can't seem to find a box or something old. So i decided to look in his drawers, his cabinets and still... nothing.

•••

9:15 and still nothing. I searched everywhere in his room, but no luck. Tired looking around, i lay down on the floor beside my fathers bed and sigh.

" come on Luna. Think! Where can he hide it" i say to myself.

Pulling the roots of my hair, i saw something glimmering under the bed. The light that bounced on my bracelet bounced on a beautiful jeweled box. It has a giant ruby on top and more around the box.

I pulled it out and there was a sticky note saying " Photos"

" Bingo!" I said

Happy that i found it, i brought the picture box back to my room. I'll just put it back when my dad is here.

I was admiring the box. It was so fancy and beautiful and on the side of it there was an initial.

" Elizebeth" i whispered to myself.

Who's Elizebeth?
