DON'T LOOK FOR ME 2

 Igor POV:

 For three years, I waited for mom to come. I waited for her to show up while surviving on my own in the forest believing she would but she never did. For three years, I passed through many obstacles without anybody by my side. No humans.

 I could remember the night I nearly died inside the forest waiting for her. I was having this nightmare where that black wolf was laughing evilly,digging Mom's eye. Mom was just helplessly trying to fight him off while crying, calling me to help her but I couldn't. I was staring at her, crying.

 "Ahhh" I woke up shivering in pain holding my ankle. The effect of the dream plus the pain I am feeling at my ankle made my temperature scorn so high. 

 I turned around in pain to check what caused that, just to see a pair of hungry hyenas staring at me. The fire that I built before I slept off is now burning slowly. Maybe, because of the dangerous situation I was in, My eyes glowed blue.

 "You bunch of stupid hyenas"I growled, trying to fight them off with a burning stick but instead three more hyenas came to join the play. I guess I was a plaything that night.

 I fought with them until one of them sneakingly gave me a bite on my leg, the other to my right hand. I fell and couldn't stand up again, I tried to stand but I failed. I was weak. I couldn't help but subconsciously called for mom.

 "Mum, where are you?" I said with tears welling up in my eyes .Just when I was about to give up, I heard my inner voice talking to me.

 "Are you willing to die now Igor? Didn't you promise your mom to live well? You mom took out pain to hide you to safety while suffering and here you are trying to let that slide? It's because of you, yea the man wanted you and now you want to give up all that sacrifice because of some stupid hyenas. Are you willing to let that man live, after all that, after everything he has done to your mom?

 "Never" I found myself shouting. 

 "Am not going to die now or ever, not until I get my revenge. My mom is probably waiting for me, I must make sure that the masked man pays for his sin". I muttered before running off, shrieking in pain, the five hyenas giving a hot chase.

 I ran without direction until I got to an old tree with a hole in it, enough for me to fit in. There I stayed till the morning. I couldn't see the hyenas again so I came out . There, I made up my mind to look for mom instead of her waiting for her to come. 

 It is then drawn to me that we have a house together, where I stayed with mom, before calamity befalls us.

 "Maybe she's waiting for me inside the house. How will she find me inside this big forest? I had to go to her. With that goal in mind, I set off without any water or food, only wild grapes, walking straight for three days, stopping only at night, to sleep on trees, wary of wild animals and snakes.

 I can vividly remember how many dangerous animals I had to through, that nearly killed me before reaching the outskirts of Denmark. Yeah Denmark, that was where we stayed.

 "Mum," I said ,excitement building it's skyscraper inside of me. I rushed forward, to find our house, to find her.Before I could take my third step towards home when I heard a voice behind me.

 "Hey kid, are you lost?". It was a lanky old man, with a huge crowd that throused behind him. I guess my appearance caused quite a sensation between them, or will I say, the whole town.

 "Look for mummy" was all I could say. I guess I lost my ability to speak correctly unlike before I had my mom with me.

 "Oh boy" the old man said, dusting off my torn cloth that was black as skillet, laden with leaves.My skin was covered with bruises and open wounds,covered in dirt.It has been three years since I changed my cloth or bathed.

 "Come, let me take care of you" he said, kindly giving me his hand to hold on. I almost tried fraternizing with him but then "Don't trust anyone" my mom's warning rang repeatedly in my ear making me want to push him off.

 "Noo" I said, pushing him off before running away from him, the crowd, from everything. "My mom is waiting for me, sorry" I said in my mind.

 After waking for 1 hour, under the scouring eye of passersby. I finally found the house, my home, her home, our home.

 "Mom," I said, rushing to her bedroom. The drawer is nowhere to be seen. The bed was scattered, with dried blood on it. Broken glass from the lampstand was there, struck with someone's flesh.

 "It's not hers, she is alive, she promised me", I thought of so many things.The TV was broken just like three years ago. The event displayed in my head like it happened yesterday.

 Mom, I couldn't find her in the drawer. I searched under the bed, maybe she is inside the closet hiding like I did,but no, she isn't there.

 "Mom, am back" I shouted but she didn't give me any reply. I rushed inside the kitchen, opened the cupboard but only found a finger. It's her finger. 

 "Where are you mum? I said as I searched effortlessly. I searched every corner of the house, scattering everything on the ground. I searched till the evening, when I was worn out and tired.

 "Am back mom but where are you?" I asked directly to the empty space. 

 "Where are you?", "Are you leaving me alone ?" I said, crying my eyes out.

 "Who will be there for me me" I cried out 

 "I will" someone said behind me.

 "Not when you have your father with you"

 I turned to see a man smirking at me. My so-called father was standing there.

 "Who are you?" I growled.

He came forward still smirking, touching my hair he said

 "Your father, that stupid woman took you away from your darling father"

"Don't worry about her anymore, she already died, I buried her behind the house".

 There, I made up my mind to find the man that caused my mom's death. And him, my so called father must pay for calling her stupid, for abandoning us.

 I must find that wolf with an anchor mark.
