Funny. I just re-read my last post and realised that I wrote it BEFORE I got the answer to the question I was asking. Since I wrote it, I had a discussion with André. I was in the tube on the way to the university, and I even remember the spot when I had that thought. The question is: how do you manage a new life with a new born baby and a wife who doesn’t know the first thing about keeping a household in a village, especially when what you REALLY want to do is travel the world and write a book?
Well, the answer was simple enough. Rob Henri de Lestonnac. Here is André’s reasoning: He’d raped my mother, killed my father, he is the baby’s real father, so if he wants it or not, he HAS to make up for some of the evil he’s done. Here’s André’s plan: Use the dream-controlling power he has on Henri so that he would get an idea to hide the treasures kept in the Château somewhere in the forest. When Henri does that, simply take the money, jewellery and whatever else it would be and use the power again on him that he would go crazy for good. After three times of being mind-warped cruelly by werewolves doesn’t leave that much in Henri’s mind to warp anymore, and the last time André does it, he’ll make a particular attempt to destroy the man’s mind. So the secret would be safe: nobody in the de Lestonnac family would ever find out what the man had done with the riches. And André would just leave Bordeaux with his family for good, just like the whole wolfpack is going to.
Right now I’m in a slight doubt if I’m even going to write this story to the end. Because last night I felt like creating a new universe, and when I feel like that, then I really need it. And it also means that my current project might get cancelled.
