Ravenous killer

I looked at him with a gesture of intrigue on my face , resting my hand on my tense jaw .

Grandfather never told me that there was a place like this , if everything Klaus says is true why I had not been sent here to learn . This is looking more and more suspicious to me .

"You may be wondering Mr . Raymond Hall's reasons for installing his father here , and it's very simple . His recent crimes qualify him as a threat to the family even to you , so it is best that he resides here for a while ."

The rigidity with which this young man conducted himself caused me great frustration , he seemed to be a lover of control and rules , that was something I had learned to break without any remorse . Although his physical appearance seemed friendly , I found him to be a rather difficult creature to persuade .

"I am anxious to know what is this list of crimes that you say my father possesses , I am sure that your accusations have no basis whatsoever ."

I leaned back in one of the chairs in front of the desk comfortably , confident that my father was harmless . Even if his mind had been tortured by Araticus, I trusted the little humanity that remained in the depths of his soul even though it had been taken away from him, I had hope, after all, to distrust your own father was difficult for me .

A long sigh came out of Klaus's mouth , and he rose from his chair to walk to a tall file , where he pulled out a black folder with abundant papers .

"Our duty to the Hall family is to keep your facts confidential to the world , remember that your grandfather led a double life for many years . The reason he was not discovered is because we watch his back all the time from humans and the curiosity that invades them . When we see that the confidentiality of the Hall family is threatened we take action, and isolate the problem from the eyes of the humans and the police".

In a professional manner Klaus described to me his duty and the work he was doing for my grandfather , but I still did not understand what my father had to do in all this .

"These are the people killed by your father when he arrived at the mansion, if he could kill five vampires being a neophyte I can't imagine what he would have done if he was escaped far from our reach".

I took the black folder in my hands and I could see five dismembered and decapitated bodies, I did not think that my father's strength would increase so much by being immortal. But what amazed me the most was to see the beheaded body of Samantha, the housekeeper of the mansion.

"As I said before your father is not the same one you knew, he was trained by Araticus to be a killing machine and we must educate him. Otherwise he cannot be part of our clan his fate will be death."

I stared at Klaus and got a lump in my throat as I listened to my father's complex situation and how far Araticus' evil had made him go.

I had been trying to come to my senses after hearing about my father's bad situation, how is it possible that I am going through all this; I feel as if an eternal curse is falling on us and I can't do anything about it.

"What's the matter, did you become mute? If so, I don't blame you. I understand that you are new to this supernatural world and just a few weeks ago your father was a helpless human; so the surprise is obvious ."

Klaus commented , staring at me as I found myself lost in thought .

"It's not easy news to digest, my parents in a short time have been greatly affected by the murky fate I was subjected to. But that doesn't weaken me, quite the contrary, it fuels my thirst for revenge."

I said with a look full of anger in my deep eyes.

"Taking revenge on Araticus is not a simple matter."

Klaus' suspicious tone confused me a little, but I cared little what he thought of my plans for revenge. I was ready to avenge all my enemies if it was the last thing I did.

"Since we've cleared up this whole situation I'm afraid you might want to stop by to see your father , I should make it clear to you that it's not the same before but I have a hunch that maybe seeing you might do him some good."

I looked at Klaus for a moment and thought he might be right, he was already here anyway ; maybe it will be one of those few times I come to visit my father .

I nodded and we both got up from our chairs to leave the office, gray wolf followed us through the hallway until Klaus stopped walking.

"I hope I don't offend you, but you can't keep walking with us on the way ."

Gray wolf growled and glared at me .

"What's the matter? I'll follow me as far as I say," I spat.

"I'm afraid it will not be possible , in itself its smell is already unbearable . The neophytes locked up will not like being spied on by a wolf ."

Gray wolf grabbed Klaus by the collar and lifted him into the air .

"I'm afraid judging a wolf of stinky isn't very courteous ."

Sketching a sneer I watched Klaus's face be flung down the hallway .

"i You will regret this, I am not your servant! As much as your grandfather owns this facility you can't do as you please "

Klaus shouted , as gray wolf and I ignored him walking across the hallway .

"I think this must be the section where they are holding your father . If you need my help I'll be waiting on the other side "

I said goodbye for a moment to gray wolf , and walked to the end of the hallway where the walls ended and the construction area began . I sat on a wooden bench for a while and contemplated the fruit trees that surrounded the whole place.

"Beautiful, aren't they? "

I heard a voice I had heard since I was a child. I got up from the bench and turned to look at my father standing behind me.

"Father, it's you at last! I'm sorry you were brought here because of me," I exclaimed as I opened my arms to embrace my father.

I felt the stiffness of his body as I squeezed him in my arms , the warmth had left him forever .

" Are you Christian Hall ?"

He asked in a cold way .

"Yes , father I am I your son " The fidgety way in which I gave him to understand that I was his son , was an inner cry of anguish waiting to be soothed .

My father was speechless and looked at me with an incredulous look , in the tense moment I let go of the hug I had given him and took two steps back , waiting for a positive reaction from him .

"Christian Hall , is the person who killed my wife . What I have for that person is a deep desire for revenge ."

His words drilled me to the depths of my soul , I wished at that moment to be dead .

"That's a dark lie, my mother is alive!" I screamed in desperation between shock and the desire for him to believe the truth .

My father came towards me and grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up in the air.

"Don't ever say again that you are my son, and that my wife is alive. Why I swear to you on the life I once had that I will dismember your body and throw it to the vultures of the forest .

The air in my throat was cut off for a few moments and although I tried to break free from my father's grip I could not , his strength was colossal .

"Wait look me in the eyes, don't you recognize me? I am your son. Your only son"

I tried to talk to him to change his mind , but it was useless it was as if his mind had been reprogrammed to believe a well formulated lie .

I was thrown to the other side of the tree area , I fell roughly on the wet grass but it didn't bother me ; I was more bothered by the fact that my father thought I was a murderer .

"What's going on, because your father is fighting with you?"

I ask surprised gray wolf as he looks at me lying on the comfortable grass.

"I'd rather explain later, I think it's useless for us to stay here any longer."

I got up from the grass regaining my posture, I turned to see my father's face once again and felt a strong nostalgia.

"Where are we going now, we should be on our way north . The pack in my charge would have no problem receiving you .

The gray wolf offer was a bit far-fetched but it was not a bad idea , although I did not plan to live inside a wolf pack hiding in the forest knowing everything that was going on with my father .

"I told you , it's useless for you to try to take your father . He thinks you are a criminal" Klaus commented from afar .

I glared at him , while gray wolf was getting defensive .

" There is no need for a confrontation at this point , after all he is absolutely right ."

Gray wolf was surprised to hear my words and let out a growl of frustration . Turning a long distance away from Klaus .

"When will my father get well, will he be back to his old self?"

Klaus looked at me carefully and didn't mention any answer .

"He asked you a question so answer it, if you don't want my claws to make you talk " I replied grey wolf with a look full of fury towards Klaus .

"This hanging out with wolves will not end well , I advise you to choose better your backers ."

I commented with irony Klaus , looking with rejection to gray wolf .

"Whoever has my back is my problem ; answer what I ask you ".

I approached towards Klaus to accompany with facts my words and corner him .
