Wolfram day 1
I woke up this morning, covered in sweat, again. The first pale rays of sunlight were trying to peer through the thick velvet curtains of the room. I shifted uncomfortably in the feathered bed and rubbed my sleep ridden eyes. Ever since he was gone, I'd been having these awful nightmares. Always the same thing; him disappearing in front of me, and not being able to do anything to stop him. I flung my legs over the side of the bed and felt the cold marble floor hit my feet. I got up and walked over to the cupboard and picked through the various clothing items until I found my military uniform. I proceeded to taking of my nightgown and getting into my usual blue cuffed trousers and a pristine white shirt. I walked back to the bed and slipped on my boots that were lying next to the bedside table. sigh It's been over a year since he's last been here ... I feel like my life has completely fallen apart since then. Conrad Anieue is always worried about me. I keep telling him that everything is OK ... but, he just won't back off. Hahaue is just as bad. They only thing that keeps me going nowadays is watching Greta grow. She's becoming a superb young woman; I care for her very much. Soon enough, she'll be able to surpass me in the art department well, I think anyone could actually.
I broke my train of thoughts by letting my fingers work on the buttons of my shirt. I grabbed my jacket from the back of the chair and walked out silently into the hallway. Already, the aroma of eggs and coffee could be smelt from the dinning room. I silently made my way towards the family table and was greeted, as usual, by four solemn faces, grim actually. I took seat next to Conrad Anieue and picked up my spork. My eyes automatically lingered on the chair where he used to sit. Only then was I made aware that every other pair of eyes was focused on me. I shot them all a fiery look before gazing back at my plate. Gwendal Anieue shuffled on his chair a little bit and then silence returned once more to the table. Greta sat across from me and stared blankly into my face. I did not want to hurt my precious daughter this way, but I can help myself.
"Wolf" Started Hahaue
"Thanks for the meal" I quickly answered. "I'll take my leave now" I said before getting up from the table and exiting the room.
I wasn't going to go through this again. Every time Hahaue started a sentence by "Wolf", I knew that meant she wanted me to open up and talk about him. But that was not going to happen. Not today, not any day. I didn't want to talk about it at all. Not even Greta could get through to me.
To be continued ...
