Journal

I have no idea why I even decided to start witting in this old, dusty journal... My Dad always told me sometimes it's not a bad thing to write things down that you needed to say or get off your chest.. I miss you so much Dad, it's been so many years I'm starting to forget how your voice sounds. You would be so proud of me. I'm with a close net group fighting off these god-awful mutated beings. I actually am getting out more.. You know how I really don't want to leave the house. I'm getting better.. I also am with this adorable girl who reminds me so much of mom back before all this happened. I remember the times you would tell me about you and mom before you were married. About how you met her at this silly dinner party, and of course she was drinking. Probably had a little too much, and fell in the pool. Little did she know you had your eye on her for so long and now was your chance to go and meet her. You jumped in so fast, you even forgot to take your phone out of your pocket, but at least the loss made you gain something even greater.  Mom's spazzy nature and warm heart was what you loved about her. I feel the same about this one Dad..  She's kind, loving, and has the bite of a vixen. Definitely a force to be reckon with.  One day I will take her to meet you dad. Maybe when we go out on an expedition and we go out to this lady named Keren and go visit her sector.. Please don't be mad that I haven't been back there in so long. I just couldn't.. handle the memories.. Dad.. Mo- Mom died and I couldn't save her. You told me to watch her and make sure she was safe every night and protect her just as you have.. I couldn't do that I wasn't strong enough.. Maybe it's because Mom didn't want to be saved sh-..she just wanted to be with you. I hope you both are happy.. and at peace.. I do know that I will become stronger and I refuse to let anything happen to Auria even if it costs me my life. I will be strong like you Dad.. I promise. So this is for you.

Love your son,

Niklaus 'Morte' Malkov
