Chapter 41:
-Explanations-
How could he only have overslept the day. It was quiet in the house. Michael went first into the kitchen without dressing himself, only in his shorts. He got one bottle of this cloned blood from the smaller cell in the kitchen. He opened it and took a big sip. As he closed the door, Alex stood already behind him.
"That's disgusting." he spoke emotionless. He looked sceptically at Michael's body however he discovered nothing exceptional, besides two bigger scars. One between his left shoulder and neck and the other on the breast. Michael took another sip and then put the bottle on the storage space. "How can you only drink this stuff, as if it is Coca Cola?" that made Michael smile.
"Because I know nothing else more, unfortunately but one will used to it. I had also difficulties at the beginning. Already the thought of it was unthinkable."
"What are these scars on your upper body? They look rather bad. "
Michael touched his neck and the pictures flooded his head. Pictures, when Lycans chased him through his apartment without a reason... as Selene held him up on the wall at his throat and as Lucian's teeth drilled into his neck. That was his ticket into this world.
"I was bitten... by a Lycan... werewolf, almost 20 years ago. I was an unsuspecting doctor at this time. I didn't have any idea of the existence of vampires and Lycans. I had already enough stress at this day and in the evening, when I came home, I was chased through the hallway by a few Lycans and in conclusion I met their leader and he bit me. I held him for a lunatic, nothing more. The scar on my breast was a mistake and I don't want to manifest myself to it."
"Why aren't you... a Lycan, since one bit you?" Alex was curious and was ready to listen to Michael. He sat down on a chair and ate a few chips.
"Because I was bitten by your mother. She rescued me. I was shot with silver-bullets and the crap was, it was nitrate... liquid. I had no chance to survive and I had already to bother with, never to see your mom anymore. A fairy-tale, in which the Lycans believed, rescued me. I was, the last descend of a family with an uncommon blood composition, that was capable to unify human being, vampire and Lycan and could evoke a hybrid. Stronger than both races together... the strengths from both and no one their weaknesses."
"Sounds crass. It must be really tough for you to be the only one... I wanted to apologize... what I've done and said yesterday. I probably had to have a plain mind and to sleep it off before I could see how serious it is for you and it is."
"I must apologize. I shouldn't have done this."
"Maybe it was necessary whoever knows. I didn't know what I did."
"I am glad that you're fine and that counts. I fear, you're in your development phase and it's time."
"Well, you tore me quite from the shoes. I can hardly keep me upright."
"Are you ready to learn something ?"
" I am, father."
"We go into the park by nightfall and Caleb will accompany us."
"why him ?"
"You will see."
Michael drank the bottle empty and sat down before the TV. Alex took another couple of chips and went back in his room and finished his homework. The hours passed and Kathleen joined Michael. She embraced him from the back and put her head on Michael's shoulder.
"What do you intend?"
"I will Alex take to the park tonight. He must learn it and... I will show it to him. "
"Don't you think that it is too early?"
"What I saw last night... no. Can you do me a favour? Could you send Caleb to the central park on 22.00 o'clock if you see him. I need him as assistant."
"I can do this."
Michael pressed her hand and kissed the palm, then, he got up and went in his room. he put on some, already a bit torn and dirty jeans however he decided not to wear a shirt only a black leather jacket. It knocked at the door and Alex stood in the room. His fear was rather obviously, however, Michael gave him a smile. he put his arm around Alex's shoulder, and together they left the house. If it was necessary, Michael supported him on the way, because his son still fluctuated like a drunk.
