Cherreads

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Old Times

Abril and I finished reading the note that was left for me. So I turned the pages to 235 and it was an index for the entries. Each labeled according to their realavence. One in particular I was interest in was the Subject Info on 237.

I turned to page 237 and and found a sketch of two people, the image was done in black ink and colored ink!? I had never seen a colored image. The man had black hair looked toned and stood just a bit taller than the woman. The woman has red hair very much like mine she looked strong too and she had a fair bust and stood just short of the man.

I read the caption below, "Alpha Novak and his mate Lundella of the Trak Family."

I froze at the words Trak Family. I wasn't sure what to think. That was until Abril broke the silence.

"Karto this couple looks quite similar to you."

"What makes you say that?" I asked.

"Well, you have the same hair and Lundella and you have the build as Novak."

"I'm just not sure yet."

"Keep reading," Abril said flipping the page.

The next page read:

Novak Trak

Age 24

Height 5'7

Weight: Over three grain sacks

Human Orientation: Advanced Blacksmith

Description; Novark has her black hair and blue eyes, he is the son of the previous Lycan Alpha which he wouldn't name.

Mate: Lundella

The description went over more details from strengths, weaknesses and other details.

Knowing that if Novark was my father it explained why I was attuned for Blacksmithing.

The next page read:

Lundella (Surname) Trak

Age 21

Height 5'4

Weight: over two grain sacks

Human Orientation: Wife

Description: Lundella has Red hair which is rare for werewolves and she has brown eyes with light skin. Her parents are of unknown origins due to her being an orphan.

Mate: Novak Trak

Just like Novak the page described the finer details that were disclosed to John.

We finished reading the descriptions and I didn't know how I should feel. I felt nostalgic of John's writing, but I said and happy to know about my parents.

Abril broke the silence, "I always wondered what your parents looked like. It's too bad that these don't say what happened to them."

"Well let's go the journal dates where John meets my parents," I said turning pages until I reached a date the was set a year before my birth.

January 15,

Lyca Cove, The Clawed Gloves Pack

After the years I had done experiment on werewolves, I was caught and jailed by the pack of whom I was taking subjects from. I am set to meet the Alpha in two hours. I hate that I won't get to finish my research. I do not know my fate, but I shall know soon.

January 16,

I met the Alpha and his Luna yesterday and my life was spared with a price that my resesrch would shared. Which is better than death. I discussed a lot with them including adding them to the subject list. And my studies will include and pretain to Lycan werewolves. I started with detailed descriptions of them and acquired a image of the as well.

June 5,

I have completed all research involving Lycan and now I plan of going into detail the in and outs of how a werewolf pack operates. And I have become close friends with Novak and Lundella. They have been very thorough with their lives and consider me like a brother. I never thought it would happen.

July 24,

Lundella came up to me late in the evening and appeared to have been crying. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that she was beginning to fear she couldn't bare children. And she wanted advice from me. I was in my study with books I had obtained and I pulled one of on fertility for humans.

I gave her some tips of healthy foods and activities to do to increase the chances. I left the rest up to her, and she thanked me with happy tears. I pray that she is able to conceive and child.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"My mother had fertility problems," I said, "She almost couldn't have me."

"Yeah," Abril agreed, "I should keep those in mind too."

I raised my eyebrows and looked at her. She looked at me, blushing and said, "Well I want to be a mother someday so..."

I smiled nodding in agreement.

August 25,

I was called to Novak and Lundella study. They had something important to tell me. I had a feeling but I decided to wait. I was escorted to the room and once I stepped in Novak stood from his chair. He walked over taking Lundella with him and greeted me.

I returned greetings and proceeded to ask what was up.

First Novak addressed a situation in the pack concerning a uprising and that I would have to leave in a few days. I was apprehensive, but they wished for me to be safe from any incoming threats. Then they told me the new that Lundella was with child and was due in the spring! I congratulated and asked what their plans were. They spoke about safety measures and places to go if things get bad. Then I mentioned my home in my hometown as a safe house and the agreed.

At that moment they asked if I would be the child's god-father. And my exact words were, 'I would be honored.'

October 28,

I did move home, but I always came to visit.

A Lycan pregnancy is very interesting, it is shown that it affects on women is amplified by a huge margin. Very irritable and emotional. Only thing is the nausea is lessened. The pregnancy also enhances the buttocks and bust. Lundella has also had a radiance about her and her hair almost glows like fire.

Also the uprising has now resulted in some riots and assassination attempts. Not a good sign.

November 13,

I heard a knock on my door late at night. I opened my door to find Novak and Lundella. They looked terrible, I took them in and immediately got them food to eat . The following is what was said.

'What happened?'

'The uprising hit its strongest. Turns out some of our warriors and close allies wanted us dead. All Lycan related people have been executed! We were able to get out thanks to a few of ours that remained loyal.'

'I can't *sob* believe *sob* that someone wants us *sob* dead!'

'I guess you fears have come true then.'

'We won't stay lon-'

'No, stay here. This house and town is you home right now. It may not be as nice but it's safe here.'

'What about the people here?'

'They are fairly harmless. If they ask who you are, you and some relatives that have decided to stop for a while.'

I told them they were safe. I felt the obligation to be their host because of the kindness they showed me. The gave in and decided to stay until the child was born.

February 5,

With Novak and Lundella we all made work on the shop I had set up in my home. Lundella ran the booth to take payments for jobs and she made leather clothing for the guards of the Smith Estate. Lundella became friends with Mrs. Smith who was also expecting a child.

Novak helped me forge good tools and how to apply enhancements. It was a beautiful skill and he became know for make strong durable tools.

And I also kept checking on Lundella's pregnancy.

March 3,

With Spring arriving, so did a nasty emotional hurricane. Lundella's short fuse became even quicker to set her off and her appetite exploded expenentialy. She ate enough for three people and slept most of the time. Novak and I were tired and we were spending most nights butchering a cow just to feed her every three days.

Tonight was another one of my check ups on her and I listened to child to find something very surprising. There was a third heartbeat mixed in with Lundella's heartbeat and the child. What in God's name?!

March 4,

I asked the local midwife and had her check Lundella as she slept and she confirmed my suspicion. Lundella had conceived two children! I didn't question exactly how it happened.

I told Novak the news and he was surprised, and happy. Something like Lundella's case had only happened once before in Appleton.

We planned how to go about it and planned to let things play out and inform Lundella.

March 12,

We did tell Lundella about the second pregnancy and she was thrilled dispite how it occurred. Following up I discussed with them that the children may have to be split up to decrease chances of them being discovered if they got caught.

I told them that I would still be a god-father to them. And I told them of a friend of mine who lives with Rangers, who live in seclusion and specialized in combat, stealth, and Archery.

They agreed and I sent a Raven to them informing a possible new member. And asked if they would take in a child.
