A predatory father

"Now let's see where is that neophyte camp to get my father out of there and take him far away" .

I said thinking out loud , leaving behind the mansion and all the good things I had known there .

"It's hard to leave behind the team we see as family , but it's part of following our convictions to do so . We will be fine , the pack where I come from will lend us help if needed , you are doing the right thing ."

Since I started living this life of immortality I had tried to be a mediator , a pacifist . I always advocate reasoning because of my long studies in science and psychology , but it was one of the first times I heard such reassuring words as those of the gray wolf .

"Thank you for the support , I trust that my father can control himself quickly and that we can live peacefully . At least until I come up with a plan to look for my mother in the hospital , although I know she is better off there ."

"It's nothing , I know what it's like to abandon all that is known to venture into the unknown , and have to pay the price for our different way of thinking "

The gray wolf seemed an expert in understanding others , but also denoted to be a creature who suffered in silence , and perhaps at some point lost everything to gain something else. Perhaps that's why I felt a strong connection to him.

"The field where we are going is very far from here, I would like to know where we are headed to track the wolves that inhabit that area and put them on notice "

I looked at him in surprise, he had not asked the exact location of the neophyte camp where my father had been taken. But I had the slight impression that it was not far from the mansion so I pretended to know where it was .

"It's a few miles from the mansion , we are not far ."

I acted in such a way that he knew where we were going , and he felt confident that I was the one leading the way . We walked a couple of kilometers until our eyes were filled with a great view that seemed to be the place we were looking for .

A large green field was hidden several kilometers away from the mansion , flooded with baskets the size of a large pan , filled with a number of seeds that produced all kinds of fruits that the prodigious land could give them . It seemed at first glance that the fruits and flowers could grow by themselves with the help of the water from the rivers and the sun, but it seemed that they required certain care. The whole environment inspired a great tranquility and a deep peace, I did not think that a field of hungry neophytes could look like this.

I admired the wide field and felt calm , seeing all the wide space it was . But the concern for my father overtook the peace in a moment and I remembered why we were there .

" Where will my father be ?"

I asked aloud , scanning the outskirts of the place with my eyes without finding any trace of his presence .

"He is working in the construction area a few miles from here ."

Answered a voice that I did not know where it came from .

" Do you see any people anywhere , do you smell anything?"

I asked the gray wolf , and it began to scan the area .

"There are a couple of vampires guarding the area , and a couple of humans on the other side" .

Hearing that there were humans in a field of neophytes I found it confusing to believe , but I could also smell from afar the scent of a couple of humans , maybe it was one of them who answered me and then hid out of fear .

"Who are you , come out so I can see you" .

I demanded going deeper into the field , in expectation of any surprise attack . The gray wolf had my back and was also alert .

"Welcome friends , I think you are a little tense ."

From one of the fruit trees jumped a seemingly harmless figure.

"Who are you? And how do you know where my father is?

I asked looking at the strange appearance of the character who attended us cordially .

"Let me guess you are from the Hall family , your grandfather said you might be coming to visit your father ."

Answered the young man with the appearance of a farmer , he was not quite a human but he disguised it very well .

"Yes , I am Raymond Hall's grandson and I am not coming to visit , I am coming to take my ..."

" I'm afraid that won't be possible " Espeto without letting him complete the sentence .

"He will be here until he learns to control his thirst , it was a bad idea to take him to the mansion in that state of hunger . Didn't your grandfather tell you about the crimes he committed ?"

" i Crimes , my father !"

My mind wandered for a moment as I listened to that young man's words , my grandfather didn't comment on the fact that my father had hurt any person . I think he was so upset that he had been taken out of the mansion that I didn't ask the reasons .

"I see that you were surprised to hear about your father's actions , let's go to one of the cabins and I will explain everything calmly . Your grandfather's decision to send your father here was the best ."

I looked at him with my eyes between closed in slight suspicion tone , but I had no choice to find out the reasons I needed to discover .

The gray wolf and I entered one of the huts that stood beside the stream that surrounded the field in expectation of a reasonable explanation for my father's behavior .

"I understand perfectly well that Mr . George is your father , but that does not take away from the fact that he is a neophyte and in need of supervision . Unlike other vampire clans , the Hall family clan does not feed neophytes with human blood to educate them , we do not treat them as monsters quite the contrary here we treat them as humans who need to adapt to their new immortal life ."

Said in a professional manner the young man, who seems to be named Klaus. I was able to decipher him by looking at a small plaque that was placed on the table of the desk where he was sitting.

" What do you mean they treat neophytes like humans?"

Intrigue crept into my senses, even though the field at first glance was admirable I was not entirely convinced .

"You see Mr. Hall , this is a training camp for neophytes . A training camp for warriors , who will later become part of the clan ."
