It was a year after the incident with the chief. Life was going very nicely. I used to spend my time playing with my friends and helping my mother with the work.
One day katt's father was called to the capital. He was gone for about 3 weeks.
After the chief returned to the village. Everyone went to greet him. When mom and i saw him. It was like watching a ghost walk by.
The chief was completely disheartened. He didn't speak a word. With his face looking like as if it wanted scream.
The chief ordered to gather all the people to town hall.

Suddenly mother falls to the ground with a emotionless face.
Ma,ma,ma,ma, what happened? Why are you acting like this.
Uncle peka was nearby he helped me to get mom back home by carrying her on his back using his beastial humanoid form.
The entire way home mom was without movement and emotion.
After reaching home uncle rested her on the bed with.
Uncle peka told me to stay away from her a bit.
That day uncle peka helped me finish all the chores in the farm. After helping me it had become dusk. We had been working for half a day.
I thanked uncle.
It's no matter. Just take care of yourself and your mother, alright. I'll be on my way now.
After Uncle leaving i locked everything up and went inside. I knocked on mom's bedroom. Mom told me come inside.
Suddenly mother tightly hugged me.
Mother what happened? Why are you acting like this!?
Mother then let go of me. While tightly holding my arms told me:
Promise me Lakota. Promise me no matter what happens you will live.
Mother told me those words while tears pooling from her eyes. Her voice being very shakey.
I-i promi-promise.
That night mother kept cry till dawn. She never stoped holding me tightly with sadness and fear.
My life had suddenly been turned upside down.
