Chapter 4: Going Home
Daniel was doing well. He had gotten a job in his new town of Ribbonville, and earned some cash. He had gotten a room in an apartment. He worked for a woman named Alex K. Calender. She was nice and very pretty. She had brown, half back lenght hair and one green and one blue eye. She was about 5'6 and dressed in the greatest styles.
One day Dainel asked Alex her middle name. "It's Kara." He suddenly remember why he had moved away. Not once since then had he thought of her. So thinking of her now left him heartbroken.

As he gave his two weeks notice, Daniel thought "My time is here is up. It's time for me to return to Dublin to hunt down the vampire who killed Kara." He didn't have a clue about how he would do it, but, oh, he would! After the two weeks were up, upon which Alex was very sad about him leaving. They had grown rather close in the time that he was here. He promised to visit now and then. He left for Dublin after saying good bye to everyone.
He set off in his car enjoying the green grass and blue skies. "I am going to help you Kara, or soon I shall be with you." Daniel thought to himself as he drove away from the person who thought the most of him

As soon as he got back in town, he stopped at a local diner. He asked to speak with the owner and ordered a cup of coffee, black. The owner came out from the back.
"Is something wrong, sir?" The owner, Ryan, was someone Daniel had gone to school with. Ryan looked up and reconized him.
"Daniel, my man, where have you been?" he seemed so very surprised to see me. "I've been around. But how have you been?" I was just being polite. "I have been great! Leanna and I got married, right after high school. We had a twins about a year ago." he pulled out pictures.
"That's wonderful. What are their names?" I asked. Now I really was interested.
"Kaden and Rose." his voice was full of pride. "They are beautiful. Congrats and tell Leanna the same." I said. "Thanks, I will. So what can I help you with?" he asked.
"Oh, yes. You remember my parents right? Well, how have they been?" I was full of curiousity.
"Well....... you see, your father, he uh....." at this point he started to mumble to were I couldn't hear him.
"Could you speak up, Ryan? I can't hear you." I asked gently, afraid of the news coming.
"Your dad went crazy about a year ago. I'm really sorry that I'm the one to tell you this. Your mom is still sane as far as I know. Boy, they were both brokenhearted when you left. The whole town was. I'm going to guess they didn't know why you left?"
Daniel didn't answer because he was running out of the diner, yelling as he went. "I'll pay you back for the coffee."
"It's on the house. But don't forget to come back and visit!" he yelled back.
He just had to see his mother. He missed her so much. And he felt so bad about his father. He always thought someting like this would happen but not in his 50's. What an early age. I wonder where he is. An institute? Or a nursing home?
