After a while of walking through the woods in the late afternoon I hear a growl. I stop walking and listen. It sounds like it's only a few feet away from me, I take another step and I hear something walking behind me. I quickly turn around and see a white wolf with red markings on it's face. I smile to myself. "Aww." I reach into my bag and pull out a piece of beef jerky. The wolf growls at me again, I kneeled down and held the jerky out. The wolf slowly walks towards me and smells the jerky and bites it out of my hand. I smile again and reach out to pet it. My hand gets closer to us head and the wolf jerks back and growls. "Hey...It's okay..." I reach out again and pet it. "I'm not gonna hurt you..." The wolf leans it's head against my hand as I scratch behind it's ear. "You're a good boy aren't you?" I say laughing to myself. "You know that thing could kill you right?" A voice said, startling me. I looked up and saw a man with red hair standing a few feet away from me holding a hunting knife, I looked back at the wolf and continued to pet it. "How do you know, I mean look at him, he's so sweet and fluffy." I heard the man sigh. "Because I'm the one who trained him to kill." I stopped petting the wolf and looked up at the man "Oh...Sorry." The man shifted his stance, whistled and the wolf ran by his side and sat down. I stood up and let out a laugh. "That's pretty impressive..." I took a few steps closer to the man and rested my hand on my hip. "What's your name?" The man looked me up and down. "I'm Jacob Seed." I raised an eyebrow, "I've heard that name before..." I I said and then it hit me. "This might sound kinda strange, but by any chance were you in the first Gulf War in Iraq?" Jacob looked taken aback by what I said. "Yeah...I served as a marksman as a part of the 82nd Airborne Division....Why?" I smiled. "My brother was in the war as well, he often spoke of a man named Jacob Seed in the letters that he sent." I looked around searching my mind to find everything I wanted to say. "...His name was Tyler, but he wrote to me once that everyone just called him Miller." I took a deep breath. "Did you actually know him?..." Jacob looked at the ground. "Yeah I knew him..." I put a hand on my forehead. "Our family...we never got to know what happened to him, the only thing that anyone would tell us was how they couldn't ever find a body." I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "Do you know what happened to him..." I heard Jacob sigh. "Maybe you should come back to my place and we can talk about it..." I nodded my head in agreement.

~Time Skip~

"Thank you." I said as Jacob sat a mug of coffee across from me and sat down in the chair next to me. "One night, during the war...there was an ambush...Me and Miller got separated from the unit, we didn't have resources or anything like that. Two hundred clicks to the South so we just started walking well, by third day I knew we were lost. Day six...we ran out of the water that we had with us, on the seventh day...I noticed that your brother's legs stared going all wonky." I looked down at the mug in my hands, thinking about what he was saying. "And by the eighth day, the wolves started to close in. And I looked at Miller, and I could tell that we were as good as dead...And I accepted that...." I looked up at Jacob and he had a look of guilt on his face. "Y-your brother sacrificed himself so I could keep going...Without his sacrifice you probably wouldn't ever get closure on what happened..." I put a hand over my eyes. "Fuck...I miss him so much..." I felt Jacob put a hand on my back. I wiped a tear away and looked up at him. "I hardly know you..." I laughed. "..And look at me, I'm sitting in front of you crying like a baby. I'm sorry.." Jacob pulled me into a hug, I layed my head on his shoulder and cried more. "It's okay, you don't have to be sorry...I've got you." He said while rubbing my back. I pulled away from the hug and looked into his eyes. "Thank you, Jacob..." He looked confused. "Thank you for what?." I looked down at my hands. "It's been killing me...all these years of not knowing...but know I think I can live again." I smiled and looked at him and for the first time I saw him smile back...

The End.
