Leaving

Carlos had loved staying with Liliana, she had became a second mother to her and accepted him with his abilities and changes, she was never scared of him. Even when she had witnessed his true other form a couple of times or hard seen his beast in the night. And the night she would hear him howl and stretch the trees. They had developed this strong bond between themselves, that kept them going while they lived together. When Liliana was away for work, Carlos would take care of the house and plants, he would even do the herbs and spices she used to make, he hard learnt her love and passion for plants she would plant. Liliana had a passion for plants and using herbs to heal and help out using herbs. He had grown accustomed to making them even by himself,. And he had a feeling she had seen him in his other form countless times but she never said anything nor changed how she saw or felt about him, she still treated him with love and care. He was like son to her and she reminded her so much of her late husband.

The man who were looking for him, came around to search and check if they could find there missing candidate, they found Liliana home. Liliana and Carlos were sitted enjoying there afternoon and talking about the healing properties the plants she grew hard. Carlos had learnt alot from her and wanted to take that up as well to help his family and others out there, as Carlos was in deep thought, Vald got anxious and awake, he heard the sound of a vehicle coming and remembered the sound of the vehicle cause he had heard before, he decided to alert his human. Carlos got a warning from Vald telling him they were going to have company better he hid but stayed close increase something happens to Liliana. He told Liliana some people where coming towards the house and he nèeded to hid, she asked him to go in the ban it hard a special basement, Carlos said he wanted to be safe but near to her, so he hid in one of the huge trees that was on the yard, vald went in hunting mode and stayed still watching the men as they approached Liliana's house. She seat there continued doing what she was doing uneffected by the unwelcomed guests. They reached got out of there vehicles and approached Liliana, they asked her if anything stayed with, she said yes her son did once in a while when he was not working, asked if h

She seen or noticed any strange creature or boy around her area, she told them no and no one came around this place, she continued to say , that this was her weekend home , she was always away during the week for work and only home one weekends. They asked if they could look around before they went there, she told them to go ahead and look around as much as they wanted as long as they do not disturb the plants or damage anything. They checked the place until they werw were satisfied they was no one or nothing there thats when they left.

Carlos did hear them say, they would be back with the hunting dogs specifically assigned to finding his scent, they were been enhanced better doing it when the owner was away so they dont have any casualties, they will have someone to watch the house from monday to alert them when she left. They went said thank you and goodbye to Liliana and left. Carlos got down the two and went to Liliana and told her what he heard them say , he was not safe there and neither was her. They arranged for him to leave on a Sunday and she was going back for work on Monday and she communicated with her brother in-law, to prepare a place for Carlos when he got there and he should tell the people in that village that, Carlos was a traditional herbalist who would help the people in the village with the sickness that where weaken and killing the people in the village.

Carlos was sad to have to live Liliana but he knew it was for her safety. They had spend the weekend preparing for his departure, and the day came when he had to live, they were both sad but knew that for the time been it was for there own good. Carlos said his goodbyes and left to go the other town, his journey ahead qas long and he knew it was going to okay. Vald was very active and alert to his surrounding, there safety was his top priority. Carlos kept moving till he get hungry and tired he rested , it was a full days walk to his destination. He thought of how his life had became so complicated, he had gotten into a vehicle and as they moved a great distance, he sensed danger ahead and become agitated, He had asked the driver to the vehicle he was in tp drop him off at the closet junction, when he got off he heard that they were some men ahead checking for those who where crossing to the other town or Identification cards and papers . He sensed those men were looking for him, he run into the woods and had been walking since then , he was tired, as he set down to eat the food liliana had packes for him , he thought of her and how good and kind she had been to him, taking in a total stranger and keeping him even after she found out what was done to him and what he had become. He was very grateful for her kindness and care. Aftrr he was done eating he begin to walk again, he walked till he reached his the town he was going to , he didnt know the place and person he was going to see or where he was to find him, all he had was a name and address of liliana's brother in law. He reached a market place and stopped to ask but these people were not friendly towards strangers, the people he approached would rather ignore him, pass him or just look at him. He almost gave up, when an old man approached him and asked him if he needed help, he felt relief and thanked the old man even before he told him what and who he was looking for. He told the man that he had come from the town from here and was looking for a man named Jones, who stayed at the place,he couldn't mention the name of the place so he showed the man the piece of paper with the details of the Jones address , the man asked him who he was , he introduced himself as Carlos and a lady named liliana had helped him and sent him to came this side.

The man looked at Carlos abit and greeted him telling him he had been expecting him, liliana had reached out asking if he had arrived yet, am Jones by the way. Dont mind these people here, they are not used to seeinh new faces around here but am sure the longer you here they will warm up to you, you must be tired lets get you home so that you rest up
