Part 37 - Goodbyes

Dad lay in bed weaker then ever. The doctor came and said it wouldn't be long till he passed.

Mikah had been texting and calling all day but I felt like I didn't want to talk to him. Why did part of me blame him for this? Yes if werewolves didn't exist non of this would be happening but I can't change any of that. As soon as dads gone my mark will be complete and I'll be the next generations huntress.

I didn't want my dad to leave me he can't. He still had so much to see and do, like walk me down the isle at my wedding and see my first born child and spoil it rotten with sweets. But dad would miss all of that.

I hated the world for taking my dad away before I was ready. Maybe I was being selfish. my mum was sad yes but she's known this day would come before she married my dad. She knew everything and as soon as I was born he'd start to weaken and eventually die and dad was acting like it was no big deal. But for we I only found out about all of this a couple of days ago. I knew dad was sick but I didn't think we'd loose him.

I hadn't told Mikah about me being a hunter yet. It just never seemed like the right time and I knew it would change everything.

"Eleri, there someone here to see you." Mum shouts up the stairs.

"I'll be right back okay dad." I say letting go of his hand and standing up from the chair by his bedside.

As I walk down the stairs I see Mikah standing by the door and suddenly I'm mad again. Mad at him.

"What are you doing here." I snapped.

"I thought you'd need support right now."

"Well I don't so leave."

"Eleri what's gotten into you?" Mikah said as he went to hug me.

"Don't touch me! This is all your fault" I said trying to push him out of the door.

"What are you talking about?"

"Just leave!"

"I'm not going any where Eleri, you need someone right now."

"I don't need you, your only making things worse. It's all your fault!" I said punching Mikah's chest.

"Talk to me? what have I done? I know this is hard for you right now."

"You, your kind your the reason why my dad is dying." I said ugly crying.

"I don't understand."

"My dads a hunter Mikah, as soon as he's gone I'm a hunter too. We live to hunt you."

Mikah stood outside the front door like a dear in headlights and I slammed the door behind me shutting him outsides. I didn't want to him to find out this way but I wasn't thinking straight my head was a mess and I was having a break down. How could all of this be happening.

Suddenly I collapsed to the floor in pain, my side is burning like someone holding a flame to my skin.

"Dad!" I screamed pulling myself up from the floor and running up the stairs while still holding my side.  As I enter dads room mum was stood by his side.

"It's time." Mum says turning to look at me.

I start sobbing and I can beardy make dad out through my tears.

"I love you so much dad." I said sniffing and whipping my cheek.

"My little girl, I know you'll do our family Proud."

"Daddy please don't go I need you." And as I said those words dad"s eyes fluttered closed and he was gone.

I felt a sudden vibration through my body and fell backwards screaming in pain. I pulled up my shirt to see that the mark was complete and the pain stopped. I stared at the mark for a moment, it's all real. All of it.
