As they arrived in the three chambered house they called home, Aldrich felt a bit of ease, it wasn't anything extravagant, everything about it was simple and moderate, its den was furnished dark brown sofas around wooden table,

He noticed the main door unlocked and slightly ajar, judging by how close the commotion was he inferred his father couldn't have gone far. As he got out he met a crown a fair distance away from his front door, he tore his way through the people in haste to see what was going on. As he finally reached the point where all eyes were, Aldrich beheld something he wouldn't soon forget. It was a disfigured corpse, the deceased person was a young boy probably just reaching puberty, one could tell by the way his left hand was stretched out that he was trying to escape till his last breath, the bones on his back were broken and scattered in large pieces in his back and the only things holding his head to his bod

sionally meeting up with William, this however didn't stay the same. On a day like every other, Aldrich just finished reading a book and was about to head on home, but something felt odd to him, he

caused the beast to miss him as he pounced over him. Aldrich didn't waste a second as he got back to his feet, he immediately started to run in the opposite direction looking for any where he could escape from. Just ahead he spotted smoke in the sky, he could only hope there were people who could help there, but keeping his gaze high proved to be a bad choice as he tripped on a felled tree, he tried to get back up but the creature was already above him. He stared into its white eyes as it bared its fangs at him, there was no doubt it was a wolf. With its right paw on Aldrich's chest, the creature rose its other paw and tried to slice him with its claws. But just then, as if it were a moment of truth, Aldrich acted solely on instinct as he grabbed a root of the felled tree and swung the entire tree at the creature hitting it on the ribs. The creature tumbled sideways shrieking in pain, Aldrich got to his feet frightened no longer by the creature but by himself. He looked at the tree he was holding by its root, it wasn't too big, but no normal person could carry it alone let alone one-handed. Aldrich was barely understanding the situation with himself but wasn't at the best place to start pondering it as he heard the creatures growl. He looked into its white eyes and felt its blood lust. Without any signs of warning the creature pounced at him but Aldrich who was no longer in a state of panic, took a stance and held the tree up straight like a staff allowing the creatures teeth and claws sink into it, as the creatures po
