"Oh, Daddy (...)  so everything end up burned in town?

''Yes, every log cabin, every barn (...) *sigh* we lost entire families (...) and if some were lucky enough, the whole family survives, in other cases, they just lost one family member (...) like us (...) they nearly burn part of the woods because the fire reach some of it, it was minimun, but the damage to the town was (...) 

*sigh* rubbing my face and my neck

''Jesus, it was devastating (...) before, we were a joyous town but after this (...) we (...) we were never the same (...) we were 40 families in all the town and only 10 families survived (...) we had been decimated it was if they were trying to whipe the whole town, of course the only survivors were shifters there was no chance for the humans to go through that shit and survive, i saw some of them fighting but at the end they perished (...)''

''Sometimes, i think that i could had done better, that if i tried harder i could had saved more people (...) it's a feeling that i can't take out of my mind (...) it will haunt me forever (...)'' i stop talking feeling a lump in my throat but a tear give me away rolling down my cheek

''I knew all of them darling, Amanda, Oswald, Clarisse, Jonathan, Ingwë, Terry, Carl, Sue Ann, Marie, baby Abraham (...) oh God (...) the kids (...)'' *sniff* covering my face with my hands and wiping away the tears i realized that Lisa was crying too,

*sniff*

''Jesus Christ (...) they really want to erased the town from the map (...) *sniff* oh Daddy, i'm so sorry (...) all of the kids died too?"

''Just Nate, Jaden and his brothers, the twins from the Fowler's and you survived, the rest don't''

*sniff*

"Oh sweet Lord (...)''

''Yes darling, it was a very long night, when i arrived to the town, Brimm and his pack had done a lot, they already had the holes for the bodies, some of them were in his town searching for wooden boards for the coffins and he was taking care of the survivors with you in his arms, i knew he noticed me because he stiffened and turn around, he came to me and told me that Amanda's coffin was ready, i followed him as we walk in silence, you were sleeping by the way, and i thank God for that because i had no head to think or do anything else, when we arrived in front of our house it didn't surprised me to find everything ready, he cleaned the surrounding area and dug the hole in the patio, walking directly taking your mother's body to the coffin i stopped because it was painful thinking that this place that bring us joy and happiness would be the place where she can rest in peace, it was a little ironic but, what can we do?, when i finish accomodating her inside the coffin i turn around and saw Brimm with a sunflower, he stood behind me with a sad look on his face, he was silent for a moment until he cleared his throat and told me if he could say goodbye to your mother, i just nodded and took you out of his arms and moved away a little to give him some privacy, although it doesn't work at all because i managed to hear him (...) hey little sis, we are going to miss you a lot, you liked the sunflowers right? take one so you can keep smiling up there, I will take care of them, don't worry you know you can count on me, I love you. (...) those were his words'' i cleared my throat because i still remembered those words and it breaks my heart seeing Brimm like that

''Holy fuck (...)''

''Yeah (...),so when we finish burying your mother, we walk back in silence until he told me that we will stay in his house and the rest of my pack can be accomodated in his lands, because i had to focus in taking care of your needs first and he will take care of the rest while i compose, when we arrived, some of the bodies were buried some were stilled in the process, now that i can see all the damage, we lost a lot of people but i had to take care of the rest of my pack, so Brimm and I took the survivors in the carriages to his lands so they can be treated by the doctor, she was waiting us in the entrance of the town and quickly took the ones with deep injuries to the clinic, we went to Brimm's house so i could put you in bed so you can rest better when we arrived, he take me to the guest room and we stack pillows on the bed so you can sleep safe, Brimm offer to take care of you so I shift and went back to my pack lands so i can help bury my people; It was dawn when we finished, we demolish what was left of the houses and place a little cementery there so we can build a new town near without forgetting this tragedy, when we went back to the East lands the villagers were waiting us with food and improvised places to rest (...) they help us a lot''

''Wow (...) and the wounded ones managed to recover?''

''Oh of course honey with Ingwë healing powers they recovered very quickly, well i think it's time for breakfast darling we can countinue later'' i tell her as i get up and start walking towards the cupboard,

''What!? i didn't notice that it's dawn and i already had plans with Nate (...) after breakfast of course''

*ring ring*

Looking at the caller ID, oh it's Brimm

''Hey, i need to tell you something before i forget (...)''

''Good morning you too Bro'' *inhale* *exhale* *inhale*

''Don't tease me now i haven't sleep a wink and i'm cranky so back off'' i said while i turn on the stove,

''But you're always in that shitty mood like if you have a stick up in your ass ahahah ok ok, i will stop this time, look i have a surprise for ya soooo why don't we have breakfast together and talk about it?''

''That's (...) hey'' 

*Lisa snatches my phone*

''I agree Uncle Brimm, you guys keep each others company and i'm going to stick to my plans so it's a win-win situation''

''Hey Lisi-boo you're there, ok don't worry go with your guy and i will take care of your Daddy''

''Ugh ~ please don't '' it's disgusting hearing Brimm calling me Daddy, it's gross

''Ewww Oh My, before this get's any weirder i'm leaving, bye, kisses'' she passes the phone back to me and blows me a kiss and a good bye before dissapearing, making sure Lisa was gone i take the phone again,

''I tell her (...)''

the other side of the phone remained silent

''How did she take it''

''Mmm i think she take it well (...) look i don't know, she cried, got angry because of the crazy old man part and got sad again because of Amanda (...) plus, i tell her about your throat scar and now she knows that her favorite Uncle lied to her all this time and now you can turn enemies to stone? really?''

''Ahaha you fucker (...) you have to throw me under the bus right?''

''Of course, i have to tarnish your image of the perfect Uncle from time to time''

''Ok why don't you have breakfast ready for me when I arrive, Daddy ahahaha''

''It's not funny anymore, you better come quick, I almost have breakfast ready'' i tell him as i serve the eggs with pancakes and coffee

''Mmm yummy, i'm hungry after a good run, here take this''

''Thanks, it smells great, sit down''

''Oh ok Sir, anything else Sir?'' Brimm says it in a mocking tone

''Sorry, i just want you to eat while the food it's hot and your pancakes are fluffly you moron''

''Awwn I love you too, but please sit down i need to talk to you about something'' ok what is this misterious vibe

''Just say it''

''Ok, i book us a trip for a week to Guatemala for hiking and sightseeing for your birthday ~ tadaaa'' he make a funny gesture with his hands, it's hilarious

''Thank God it's not something weird ahaha but I'm in, when we leave? please don't tell me it's today for fucks sake''

''AHAHA nope,*munch* i just found a store that sells *munch* this pancakes are soo good *munch* (...)

''Stop it, oh please chew first before you speak, Lisa does exactly the same thing''

*Gulp*

''i'm ready now, i found this place with hiking equipment and offers tours to Central America so i contacted them to go there today to see what they have to offer''

''Sounds like a good plan, just let me shower first and we can go''

''Sweet, i will make you time cleaning up''
