Chapter 5: Losing the most loved

Daniel drove past his home again and again before deciding to ring the door. Oh, how he missed his mother so much. It had been so long. She had used to have diry blonde hair and be about 5'0. She always teased him for his height because he towered over her. I am willing to bet Dad going crazy took it's toll on her, he thought. His mother, answered, and she didn't look anything like the mother he used to know. She was now about 4'8, yes she got shorter and her hair was gray in places. In the backround of the doorway, he could see the outline of the living room. It was very messy. Things were piled everywhere. He would be lucky to find a seat if she invited him in. "Yes, can I help you?" "Why don't you recongize me?" Daniel cried. "I'm your son, Daniel!" After their joyful reunion, they settled down to talk. Daniel wanted so badly to tell his mother of his plans, but he knew she would disapprove and try to stop him. So he let her talk about how she was, his father, Kara's parents, and the townsfolk.

She said, "You know, I still have your letter from all those years ago. Let me go find it." After about 5 minutes of searching she found it. "Ah, here it is." she exclaimed.

Mother,

I am leaving town for a while. I shall be back though.

So do not worry about me. I am leaving town because of Kara. You may not of

known but Kara and I were in love. Madly and deeply in love. Nobody

could stop us even if they tried. I am sorry for not telling you earlier.

Love,

Daniel

"Wow, Mom. That's amazing that you kept this all these years. It really means alot to me." Daniel said to his mother. "Why didn't you tell me about you and Kara? You two would have been such a cute couple." she said.

Changing the subject, Daniel asked, "Where's Dad?" His mother spoke in a soft tone, "Oh,you poor thing. You haven't heard yet have you? Well as you probably know your father went crazy after you ran away and it got so bad that I just had to put him in a nursing home. One day he got lose an drun down to Lake Lorelei and was..... well... oh this is hard. He was killed by a vampire like Kara and Guy Hooper."

Daniel grimaced to himself. He stood up. "Mother, I must be going. I have things to do and people to see. I'm sorry to talk and run like this." "Daniel, really you are a grown man. You don't have to explain these things to me. I understand, you have better things to do than sit around here and talk to your dear old mother." Daniel knew that she was trying to put a guilt trip on him and it was working but he really did have to go. "No, no, no. It's not like that! I have a few things to take care of. I will come back and visit, okay?" Daniel asked. "Of course! If you ever, ever need anything come see me. And remember Daniel, I love you." his mom told him.

Once out in his Mustang Convertable, he looked around outside. Not much had changed, the house across the street, however was a different story. It used to be so well kept, neat sprial bushes, trimmed trees, the greenest grass in the middle of a drought. Daniel started to think to himself, about how his visit had went. "It went quite pleasently." he said to himself. "But I will hunt down the vampire that killed Kara, Guy Hooper, and my father. I must!" Although he didn't know what he was going to do but whatever came to his head was what was going to happen.
