"After all of that, a weird truck pulled up and some people came out saying that they were from the hospital and how the hospital had run out of trucks because there was so much going on at the moment. They took both of the bodies and left. Andrew walked me home and here we are now dad." Jake starts to cry. Jake's dad hugs Jake and says " It's okay, we'll go to her funeral. And we'll pray. That's all we can do."

Jake sits on his bed playing with the letter Patricia gave him. "It's from mom, should I open it now? Or do I wait? Patricia said I'll now when the time is right but it's my mom. I don't have much recollection of her. Who cares I'm gonna open it!" Jake rips the top of the envelope open and pulls out the piece of paper.

"Dear Jacob, If you are reading this it means that I am dead and so is Patricia. We planned this letter for you because we knew you were going to need it one day. I'm going to answer as many question you may have at the moment. Well first off me and Patricia were best friends, we always hang out at the park and ate at the restaurant across the school you go to(Or the one your father should have taken you to.) Keep in mind that we were about 20 when we were like this, so Patricia was already an elite. Then the next year me and your father had you. It was the best day of my life and I regret none of it. But we got divorced 5 minutes later because...your father abused me. He threatened to do the same thing to you when you were older. I left not only because of your father but for other reasons. I had to leave you with your father because he tried to ruin my dreams and kill my whole family if I tried to take you. At the time he was a mad man and I knew he would do it. I fled to Patricia. She was the only person who would take me in. Jake promise me you'll leave his house once you read this. You are not safe there anymore, and if you are to give your last name to anyone or anything you say that your name is Jacob stevenson, or else they will come for you as well. I must go Jacob, I love you with all of my heart and never give up on your dreams.

Love, Mom

Jake wipes the tears from his eyes and gets angry. He gets up from his bed grabs a duffel bag and gathers clothes and stuff he needs. He slams the door open and then slams it shut. He runs down the stairs and confronts his dad. Jake screams at him " I thought mom left to follow her dreams, not because you abused her! I thought you were different, I thought you loved her. Then you threatened to hurt me and hurt her whole family? What kind of sick person are you?!" Jake's dad gets up and approaches Jake and says " What are you talking about? I would never hurt you or your mother!" Jake snaps back " Oh yeah? I read this letter dad, mom wrote it for me before she died. She told me everything. I'm leaving and there is nothing you can do to change my mind!" Jake's dad says " Stop with this nonsense everything your mother is telling you is fake! Because of this you are never allowed to any tournaments!" Jake responds " You don't own me anymore and you can't tell me what I can and can't do." Jake's dad speaks as he is going to put his hand on Jake's shoulder " let's sit down and talk about this I'm sure there is a-" As jake realises that he is going to grab him he pulls his sword out and points it toward his dad " Don't touch me or anyone ever again" Jake walks out of the house and slams the door. His dad opens the door and screams from the doorway " Jacob! Jacob! Get Over here!"
