Chapter 19

Sean Milner was a seventeen-year-old juvenile delinquent. He had been in and out of juvenile detention facilities, foster and group homes since he was fourteen. Stealing cars was his favorite hobby that came second nature to the disturbed lad.

He was nearing the age of eighteen when he was placed in the Pztrq's foster home. The courts had ordered that he remain there until the age of twenty-one. He was also told that if he did anything wrong after the age of eighteen, he would go directly to jail for quite awhile. That was enough to scare him into behaving.

Stephen Xirx was of Australian upbringing and had three children by his wife Elizabeth. He was a very wealthy author of horror who was very generous with his money. He believed that you would reap what you sow.

He and his wife started a family late in their lives. They wanted many children. While Elizabeth was in labor with her third child, complications arose. The baby was fine but the mother would bare no more children.

Many years later they became foster parents. They enjoyed helping other children by giving them a home.

Stephen's foster home was Sean's last chance to right himself. And so he did. He never got caught at anything anyway.

Sean never seemed to be grateful for anything. Stephen tried his best to give him morals, but nothing worked.

Several months passed and Sean turned eighteen. He was constantly getting into arguments with all of the family members. A few weeks before the terrible accident, we heard a rumor that there was a werewolf in these mountains."

We checked out the story and found a few kids that were condemning Sean for being a Satanist and a werewolf. At that point we dropped the investigation. The assumption was made that Sean was just a bad kid and that the others were afraid of him. The theory of Sean claiming to be a werewolf was obviously because of his foster fathers' books. To attract attention was also possible.

Then, one night, the sheriffs department received an emergency call from a scared kid. The kid was Sean. He claimed that a werewolf had broken into his house and killed everyone but him.

The department informed mine and we joined them in their investigation of the murders. Several things were very obvious. First of all, five people were dead. They were all mangled and bloody. Something had also definitely broken into the house. There was shattered glass and splintered wood everywhere. Several rooms where the victims were cornered were stained red with the victims' blood and scattered with body parts.

Sean seemed to be in shock. He was also blood smeared, from head to toe. They rushed him to the hospital to keep an eye on him. He turned out fine.

The investigation dug up seven different hair types. Presumably the six residents and one stranger. It was also very clear that some type of animal was the perpetrator. The entrance was also identified.

So now, we had enough evidence to assume that a werewolf committed it. Our only mystery was the fact that we couldn't find out where the werewolf had exited.

It is possible for it to exit where it entered, but our past experience with their kind showed that they enter, travel through the dwelling, killing, and then exit where their last kill was made. We assumed that it would have been done the same here, especially since this house is huge and the last kill was made quite a distance from the beasts entrance. Sean was also able to tell us who was murdered last.

It was also safe to assume that if a werewolf did attack the family, Sean would become infected, since he survived the attack. So I was sent to infiltrate the case and watch Sean for any signs of lycanthropy. The only signs that I've found so far, is that he goes out for walks at night and comes home really late. I've never been successful in following him.
