My brother wanders off to see the world and for once, I don't follow in his shadow. I know that we will never be far apart but sometimes it's okay to be temporarily separated. He can have his own life but I will never hesitate to be a part of it. He is my brother and that's what I'm here for. My parents have their own lives to lead. My father is a vampire; he hunts other wolves and drinks their blood. I don't think he wanted us to know this but I've followed him on nights and watched. I've seen him take lives and drink from their open throats. I do not judge my father. He is what he is and he has to survive too. If he didn't survive, we wouldn't be here. I guess in a way I thank the wolves who give their lives to him so that he can stay alive. I know they don't give it willingly but none the less, I thank them. Mother is a killer too but in a different light. She doesn't drink their blood but I've seen her eat their hearts out. I think it's mostly about the blood. It seems to be what all the fuss is about. I think it runs in our veins too, this lust for blood shed. When I was too young to leave the den, I would chase down insects that came into the cave and stomp them beneath my paw, nosing around the guts until mother or Kronos take it away from me. I got mesmerized by watching things die at a young age. When I did become old enough to leave the den, I started chasing rabbits and mice but at first they were too fast for me. They still are sometimes but I'm learning how to outsmart it. It's easier with Kronos. He usually chases them and I ambush them and go for the kill. Today I walk the rocky terrain of the crags, peeking into caves to see what I can see. I don't have a particular idea in mind, just perusing. As I go around some big rocks, I see a waterfall and stop in my tracks. It's beauty is mesmerizing. I tilt my head, midnight blue eyes twinkling in the moonlight.
