After a few hours Alill drifted off to sleep. When he had awoken he felt warm. And he smelled smoke. He pulled himself out of his hiding spot only to be horrified. On the floor in front of him lay his father. It looked like he had been dissected and left to rot. He was stained red and his eyes only showed pure anger. It looked nothing like the father he knew.
"Dad, dad are you listening? Please wake up" He started to tear up and sniffle. He slowly turned to see his mother sitting hunched over. She too was doused in blood her black hair was covering her face. He reached out to move it but hesitated. He didn't want to see it but he had to confirm it. He didn't want to leave otherwise. When he moved her hair he lost it tears flowed down his cheeks like a waterfall. He was about to throw up but the fact that she was dead didn't scare him as much as her face. She didn't go to rest in peace. She was terrified her eyes only reflected pure fear. She couldn't be his kind, loving mother. He didn't want to accept it. He didn't want to accept what happened to them. He was wailing until a rafter from the ceiling fell on her. Blood started to pour from her open wound again and made the puddle on the floor even bigger. Then two more people popped into his head, Shannon and Aidan.
He bolted and jumped over his father and raced his brothers house. The ground was wet and houses around him were burning to the ground. He ran past the well and turned the corner only to see his house already turned to charcoal and rubble. In it was one unidentifiable body. It was burned too much but he knew. He knew who it was. He dropped to his knees and cried into his hands. He turned towards the watch tower as there was still one more man he needed to find. Aidan. He bolted past the burning homes and wild livestock. When he reached what remained of the watch tower he saw it. His brother lying down barely clinging to life. He had small cuts but mainly he was beaten so bad he didn't look like he was alive.
"Alill.... I am so glad you survived. Please. Please run run and hide don't come back here, get strong to survive and live for me. Can you do that for this silly brother of yours" Alill couldn't take it anymore he dropped to his knees then threw up. He was crying and hyperventilating all the while shaking violently. Until he felt his brother's hand on his own.
"Alill you must become strong in order to survive in this demented world we live in. So p-p-please ru-" his brother didn't get to finish his sentence before he had passed away but unlike his parents he didn't look different. He still looked like his strong and kind brother. He grabbed the dagger that was sheathed on his coat and gripped it tight.
Alill's sorrow slowly changed. He kept crying but he felt hatred. He wanted revenge. He saw a wolf by its lonesome waltzing through the woods waiting to scavenge the left overs. Alill looked at then screamed.
"I WILL KILL ALL OF YOUR KIND YOU HEAR ME! NONE, NONE WILL BE ALIVE WHEN I AM DONE WITH YOU. YOU WILL ALL BE BEGGING ME FOR MERCY!" The wolf slowly backed off like its instincts had said it was dangerous. Alill stood up still crying. He grabbed his brother and dragged him out into the open field. Then he walked away only to return with his parents and left to grab Shannon. When he returned he had a shovel in one hand and was dragging Shannon in the other. He dropped her burnt corpse then started to dig. He dug for hours on end. When he had finish his four holes the sun was peeking over the top of the trees. Alill dropped them all in then started to fill the hole again. He placed planks from the burnt houses in the loose dirt and placed a cloth around each plank.
He sat there looking at them until he had a shiver go down his spine. It felt like he was being watched he swung his body around only to see a single pair of yellow in the forest. They didn't look like the eyes he saw just hours earlier. These ones were looked nice but they still enraged Alill. He looked straight into them and simply said "I don't like your kind and right now I am not in the mood for being observed so I advise that you go now before you regret it." The eyes closed and then disappeared. Alill decided in that moment that he was going to become strong. He was going to be strong enough to kill each and every werewolf he came across from that point on.
