Chapter 31: The End II

"Run, run, run!" Harry whistled, "Faster –faster!"

Abraham tripped in the snow, growling. He flopped onto his back, "Lord..."

"You have three seconds to stand up or you have already died."

Abraham got up slowly, rubbing his back. "I died," He breathed, "dead."

Harry shook his head, "too easy –no one wants to die like that."

Abraham hunched over to catch his breath. "Just a minute –I am not done."

"Well you have already died, so yes –you are."

Abraham chuckled, "Thank you, baba." He groaned, jogging back to the tree. He stuck his mother's Jasper knife between his teeth as he climbed. Once at the top, Abraham crouched on a bare branch. "I am ready!"

Harry crossed his arms, whistling once, "go!"

Abraham jumped down, landing on his hands and feet. He dodge three trees, cutting each with the knife. Abraham slid underneath a low branch, cutting that as well. He took a big breath, kicking off the forest floor to grab onto a higher branch. The alpha ran through the several branches, knocking into one that sent him spiraling to the floor. He groaned loudly, rolling onto his stomach, "that hurt..."

Harry walked up to him, squatting, "I am sure it did."

Abraham touched his forehead, "I hit a branch."

"Hit a branch, you die."

The alpha nodded, letting Harry sit him up right.

"Your eyes are strong," He rubbed dirt off his son's face, "use them."

Abraham bowed his head, "yes, baba."

"You said I could go to the next training." Abigail glared at her father, "liar!"

Harry grabbed her nose, pulling it, "do not call me a liar." He kissed the girl's forehead, "because I am not. You were not here when I left."

"You could have waited."

"Next time I will."

Abigail pulled on her hair, stomping away.

"Where is your mother, Demetrius?"

The boy looked up from the book in his lap, "upstairs..."

Harry stood over him, "which one is that?"

"Piece of Mind." He lifted it, "I like it."

Harry smiled, lifting the boy's face, "very good, omega."

"Baba!" Abraham ran downstairs, "you said Isa did not call!"

"Because he did not."

"He did!" Abraham shook his phone, "He is going to be upset that I did not answer!"

Harry looked around, "how does this affect me?"

"Ugh!" Abraham ran back upstairs dialing the omega's number. He paced his bedroom, "come on, come on."

"Abby."

"Hey! Isa... hi." He bit his lip, "sorry –I was out training with my dad –he did not see that you called."

"It is okay." Isaac yawned, "I fell asleep."

"And how was your nap –I am sorry if I woke you."

"It is fine, Abby, I love talking to you."

Abraham sat on the floor, "yeah, me too –talking to you." He pressed his lips together, "I am going to council tomorrow to get certified in the wolf class."
