The sun gently vanished into the mountains allowing the moon and it's children to create a beautiful scenery in the sky . Sounds of the animals that lived in the forest would bring a tune afore the beautiful night.
"Tsk..who were they thinking that they can help me huh? nobody in this world can help me!" Gerrard recited to himself as his voice echoed throughout the cave as it made him realize that he was all alone and no one to talk to.
Soon his stomach started rumbling as it also created a sound that echoed throughout the cave as he remembered that he didn't eat and his prey was taken by those hunters from the village. Gerrard would get up and walked out of the cave but looking tired , it was clear that he was going for a hunt but in his state it seemed highly impossible to catch a prey.
He strolled around the forest and scaring animals because he didn't have energy to chase any of them. He ended up wondering in that village . A kid saw him looking dizzy like he is going to collapse , he quickly rushed and notified his mother as she came running and took Gerrard to their house.
"Are you okay sir?" asked a lady who had long beautiful hair and deep brown eyes accompanied by a mid brown skin tone as she knelt before Gerrard.
"Uhmm..I don't want to be a burden to you" mumbled Gerrard who started having a weird expression on his face as if he was dying.
"No sir , let us help you please!" shouted the beautiful lady.
"Food....please give me food" whispered the seemingly dying Gerrard.
The lady quickly made food for Gerrard as she tell her son to bring water so Gerrard can wash his hands. Gerrard ate and slept in order to regain his strength. The woman's husband came back home as he was shocked by what he saw before him.
"What's going on here!" shouted the Man as he furiously dropped his bags on the floor.
"This man was looking dizzy and we decided to bring him here and give him food because he didn't have energy" spouted the lady in a sweet and calm voice as she seemed shocked by his husband's reaction towards the situation that they faced.
"Brought him here ? Gave him food ? What is this? An orphanage for poor people who are old enough to take care of themselves? here I am working hard to provide for you but you are busy giving our food to strangers!" shouted the furious man as he looked at the sleeping Gerrard and started walking towards him.
"It was me!!" a tiny voice was heard throughout the house as the young boy came fourth to his father claiming that it was him.
"What did you do?" asked the angry man.
" I am the one who brought that man home , please don't hit mom again , hit me instead" the boy uttered showing bravery. His father clinched his fists as he attempted to hit his son but was stopped by Gerrard who heard the whole thing in his sleep.
"What are you doing! This is a family matter so stay out of it you poor stranger" shouted the angry man.
"You were going to hit your son so let me ask , what were you going to gain from that ? You always hit your wife and what do you gain from that ? You should be treasuring them and hold them dear because one day you will need them and they won't be there anymore" uttered Gerrard as he would turn around with his eyes filled with tears but it was hard to notice them.
"It's you!" shouted the man as he would see the scar on Gerrard's neck.
"Wait , you are one of those hunters who helped me yesterday but then if you are that guy then why are you so mean?" asked Gerrard who was confused because the scared hunter seemed a bit nice yesterday when they helped him.
"You ungrateful parasite ! You took everything from me!" shouted the angry man.
"What are talking about huh" replied Gerrard who was filled with confusion as he didn't have the clue what the man was talking about.
"I guess it's true when the say the culprit forgets but the victim always remembers , three years ago you and your evil father destroyed my entire family with your claws and drank their blood like water , I stabbed you with a knife in the neck and you turned around and scratched me on the face with your claws and ran away when you heard the police" recited the scared man as his eyes would be flooded by tears , his wife and kid turned around and looked at Gerrard like a monster.
"If you are that kid then that means you are from the Smith family" Gerrard uttered in disbelief.
"So you do remember ! You ruined my entire life! I saw my parents lives disappearing before my eyes because of you and your father!" Shouted the angry man as he threw chairs at Gerrard in anger.
"You bastards are the ones who killed my mother when I was young , you are the reason why am like this but back then I had a heart and decided not to kill you because you didn't do anything but now that I have seen how you treat your own family it has made me realize that you are just like your father and you know what they also say an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth so now it's time to join your father in hell" uttered Gerrard as his claws appeared but he didn't have his red eyes Instead he had a gloomy expression on his face as he slowly walked towards the scared man and lifted his hand.
The man's wife jumped in to protect his husband but Gerrard wouldn't care as he sliced them both into shreds and drank the man's blood infront of their child.
"This is blood is just like your father's , so it means you have committed sins just like your father and you kid don't look at me like that , if your parents cared about you they would have least made an effort to protect you but instead they decided to die and leaving you alone with me but don't worry you have done no wrong so I won't kill you" said Gerrard as he would walk out of the house and back to the forest with blood drenching on his claws.
