3rd July 2017

After a night out stargazing and playing with scorpions (That was Daniel who did that - I didn't touch the scorpions) it was time for us to go back to Away to meet Karen and the others. I Had promised her it was only a one night sleepover with Daniel at the canyon and that I would be back in the morning.

When I got to Away, Karen had left a note on her trailer with some pancakes in the kitchen saying that she and David had gone out to get groceries. I occupied myself by helping Joan build her sculpture from metal (With Daniel's aid of course) and played a treasure hunt game with Daniel - based on the old games he used to play with Chris a few months back.

After unpacking the groceries and talking to David more about his life before coming here, Karen (or should I say Mom now that we've gotten closer) took us back to the same canyon for one more walk at nightfall. The view was captivating , well hard to describe unless you been there. Even my sketches doesn't do it justice. I have never quite seen a view like this before in my life. Pink skies, deep canyons just for miles and miles over.

Turns out she took us on a little boys trip to break the news to us. I'm not surprised. We can't run and hide forever and I'm grateful for her help in hiding us just that little bit longer before we head off to Mexico and Puerto Lobos. Apparently the cops are searching the Arizona area after the events of what happened with Lisbeth at Haven Point. All our faces are plastered all over the newspaper. I hardly recognize myself. I look so different then. Even Daniel did. At least he doesn't have that church boy hairstyle anymore.

Tomorrow morning, We leave Away for the border.

After breakfast we went through the escape plan first of all with Karen, then me with David. Karen was to give us her truck so we could drive to the desert where the border was about 5,6 hours away from Arizona. David handed me his police scanner so I could hear conversations from the Cops so I would know when and if they were looking and onto us. I gave Karen a hug before we said our Goodbyes. I think she's proven enough that she wants us in our lives and loves us so I forgive her.

Everything was going smooth, I couldn't believe Daniel could break the border wall. It was literally 10 feet of tough metal and he tore it apart like it was nothing . Though it did tire him out a bit, Just when we were about to go back in the car to go through the gap between Mexico and America. Bloody redneck vigilante racists shot Daniel on the shoulder and captured me.

They put a bag over my head and were pinning me down on the ground and I thought I was done for, until a cop showed out of nowhere rescuing me at the last second and in an unexpected turn of events, Let me go and Arrested the racists who shot and captured Daniel.

I actually could have gotten away with it, he didn't recognise me at first despite the dread I had. Not until I ran my stupid mouth calling out for Daniel as I was too worried about him, and then he recognised me instantly and said 'Sean Diaz" that was when I realised I fucked up and was arrested.

I mean come on dude! Lots of Kids are called Daniel doesn't mean I'm the fugitive. Are you really going to arrest everyone that calls out Daniel now?

Anyway back to square one at the pig station. Was in the neighbouring cell with the racist vigilantes. Racist bitch wouldn't shut up and kept on harassing us with her bigotry to me and another Mexican couple who were arrested for trying to cross the border 3 times. A massive argument ensued until the cop who wanted to interview me told us all to shut up and threatened us further. Thank goodness I was glad to get away from it all.

Tried to escape or think about escaping in the interrogation room to no avail, didn't have to wait long Thankfully. Daniel recovered quickly in the ER room and came to save my arse with his powers again. Without Daniel's powers we both would be screwed. I would have gone to prison and we would've been separated and never made it all the way to Mexico.

Told Daniel to get revenge on the Vigilantes who shot us. He agreed he said they were people who hurt us. He's putting his powers to good use now, instead of choosing to attack me when he's angry he knows the difference between right and wrong now. He listens to me now and didn't hurt the Mexican Couple who I told him to free.

Whoever next crosses the border through the hole we made, doesn't have to deal with Vigilantes anymore. Daniel strangled and killed them both.

Daniel also knocked out all the officers to help us escape. Back to the border now, have to go in through a different way. Surprisingly Karen's car was still outside where the parking lot was including our police scanner. The scanner said it knew that we had broken out and escaped. I turned it off. Daniel doesn't need to hear that shit. We don't need to.

The drive was uneventful and quiet till we reached the checkpoint. Guess what? Police roadblock. Agent Flores and her army of cops blocked our way. I hesitated for a moment, discussing with Daniel what we should do. Should we Surrender or Keep Trying. Surrendering meant me going to prison for sure for something I didn't do, (They still think I Killed Kindred Matthews in Seattle when I never did) only person I really killed was Lisbeth. Besides that I'm innocent it was Daniel who did all that destruction and Killing. And that we would forever be separated.

Going for it meant, risk using Daniel's power to wipe out all the cops and go to Mexico. We would still be together if that worked. If it didn't work we were to die trying. We decided on that as Agent Flores barked her last warning for me to come out of the car before "things got worse" little did she know...

Daniel stepped out first, as the cops approached us with their guns drawn slowly. Daniel then threw them about with his telekinesis destroying all the cars, and knocking everyone out on the road including Agent Flores. We thought we had knocked everyone out until somebody shot Daniel on the shoulder.

It was too late, I couldn't turn back the car, everything was going by in slow motion, cops flying everywhere, bullets flying everywhere . All I could do was scream Daniel's name as I entered the border and he didn't. I made it to Mexico but the little Enano didn't. After all this, Daniel didn't make it. He sacrificed himself so I could get away.

I've lost everyone. All my family. Everybody's sacrificed themselves to get me to Mexico and here I am all alone. The only wolf brother left. What is the point anymore? It's just me all sad and alone in Puerto Lobos. I've lost Daniel forever.

The dream that Dad had of taking us to Puerto Lobos, even I couldn't do that with Daniel on his behalf. I couldn't stop crying the whole way through the drive to Puerto Lobos from the border.

6 months after the events at The Border

With the little cash that I had left and the basic Spanish I had learnt from Dad, I found some part time work at a garage by the beach where I also live. I look at the beach and the waves thinking everyday about Dad and about Daniel how I wish they were here with me. Funny how I've taken over Dad's role and have followed in his footsteps with the garage and Puerto Lobos.

Until when I was sipping a beer and relaxing looking at the beach, my new phone rang. It was Claire and Stephen from Beaver Creek.

What? Why are they ringing me now after all this time?

I picked it up. My heart skipping a beat not quite believing what I heard.

"You mean Daniel. As in my little enano is here with you right now?" I asked in astonishment not quite believing what I had heard

"Yes". "Daniel, Daniel!" Claire called out. "Sean wants to talk to you!"

The distant sound of Daniel running down the stairs and Daniel's familiar voice was in the background "I'm coming Grandma!" he yelled back to Claire

Holy shit what the fuck just happened. Daniel is alive! My little Superwolf and Enano is still alive.

A surge of happiness and emotion was surging up and welling inside of me, I couldn't help but weep in happiness. All these months I never stopped thinking about him, The guilt, The memory . I replay it every night in my sleep and in my dreams. And now he is alive. This is a real miracle, Not like the shit that Lisbeth spewed.

"Sean!" Daniel called out on the phone to me.

"Daniel! My little enano" I choked out back to him. "I'm so glad you're alive. I thought I lost you across the border"

Daniel huffed on the other side of the phone. "I wasn't going to let them get to you. Nothing stops and separates the wolf brothers. We stick together remember"

I laughed. Daniel was still the same stubborn 10 year old I had left behind in America. Shit never Changes.

"Of course. How's School? Do you still play with Chris?" I ask curious to know what he was doing back home

"Eh. School's alright. And Yes I do still play with Chris. Superwolf is still around" Daniel did his superhero voice

"I'm glad you're alright and settling in well with Claire and Stephen after everything that's happened. Do you still talk to Karen?"

"Yes. Sometimes. We call. She's still in Arizona with those people in Away. They let her go after that" Daniel answered referring to the events from 6 months prior

"That's good. Let her know that her other son is doing ok. I'm glad they let her go after all this" I gritted a bit bitter at the end

"I will do. How's Mexico? Is Puerto Lobos really like how Dad said it would be?" Daniel asked inquiring

"Ah Yeah Yeah it's nice the beach and the weather there looks exactly like the photos that Dad used to stick on the wall. Perhaps you could visit next summer since everything's you know died down with the cops" I suggested

"Really Cool, I would love to see it"

"Yes. I miss you so much Enano. It's not the same without you here"

"I miss you so much too. And I Know. We'll see each other again one day right"

"Right. Love you Daniel I got to go" I said ready to hang up

"Love you too, Bye Sean"

"Bye" I clicked on the hang up button on my phone. Time to go back inside and get to work.
