Chapter 2
I immediately noticed something was wrong when he didn't return for supper. Upon asking my grandmother, she simply stated he was probably preoccupied with work and would return later. He didn't. They found him the next morning by the temple steps, his body all bloody and battered. His throat had been ripped open and the village doctor proclaimed that he didn't suffer much. His death was immediate. The village chief, Jeb, came to pay his respects, saying he would like to discuss something with me, but I told my grandmother to tell him to come in several weeks. I didn't leave my room for two days, and refused to attend the mourning ceremony, but I still heard of the rumors: rumors of the creature of the night. Rumors of Fang and how he did away with Ari. I didn't want to believe it, but I had no other choice. My brother was gone.
A week or two later I started packing. My grandmother told me that I was crazy, that I would end up like Ari and that I had promised to speak with the village chief in a few days, but I didn't care. Ari had taught me how to defend myself and how to survive. I was capable of lasting months in the wilderness on my own. I had a plan and I knew what to do. I was going to hunt down Fang, and avenge Ari's death, no matter what the risk. And with my last few words to my grandmother, I set off into Itex Forest.
Hullo! Like I said before, this story was prewritten so I'll update quick! However, there might also be a wrong character name, like in the first chapter when it said Noel instead of Ari. Sorry about that.
