Chapter 21- Do You
DAMON~
"Sigh"
The fragility of my own existence was shocking to me, all my life I had been the picture of strength, Wolf manifest at age 10, the earliest I’m history till of course My son, the thought brought a smile to my face. I looked back at the gravestone I sat in front of.
"Here lies David Langdon" I read out, nine years of him being gone and I still couldn’t believe it.
"You made it look so easy pops," I said as I remembered all the times I watched him in his meetings, the strength he showed as he spoke, and the finality of his words, I had lived every day of my life with the principles he had taught me, every day working towards being half the man he was.
"It’s not," I said "Silver Hollow is becoming more active as the day passes and all I can do is watch, it feels like I’m failing the pack you spent your life protecting, it feels like I’m failing you" I murmured as I arranged the flowers that laid at the bed of the gravestone.
"that doesn’t matter though, I’m not gonna let it happen no matter the cost, I’m not gonna let this person take what’s ours," I said then took in a deep breath.
"I have a son now pops" I chuckled "You’d be proud if you saw him, and even if I don’t survive this, I’m gonna be a father to that boy, I’m gonna be the best father I can be", I stood to my feet and took a step back.
"They all watching Dad, waiting for me to slip, waiting for me to fail, I won’t let them, I’ll be the man you can be proud of," I said then turned around and began walking back to Daniel and Carlos who stood at the end of the symmetry.
