~Chapter 20~
So I found someone in the village where Victor is staying someone to report to me on his well-being. His name is Rupert, and although I don't know him, I have it from a very good source that he is very reliable. I hope so. Well, I just received a letter from him telling me about my dear son's welfare. Rupert reports that Victor is rarely out of his hut and doesn't associate with the towns people. He has alienated himself. How is he supposed to heal from all the pain caused by these past few months if he won't let anyone in? The worst part of it is it appears as if he's meeting the the creature's demands for a new mate. The idea of a hybrid human made out of other people repulses me. If I could, I would go back to when Victor was a child and steer him in a different direction. I should have seen through all his questions as a child and avoided all this grief. I miss Caroline, she would know what to do.
Just finished reading the rest of Ruperts letter. He has the most astonishig news. He confirmed my suspicions about Victor working on that horrid creature. Rupert recounts standing gaurd Victor's hut one night when he saw a huge shape approach. Afterwards he says he heard lots of shattering and thumping going inside and the shape going inside as well. He stood outside for a while waiting for something to happen. Both Victor and the shape departed , first the shape and then Victor in his rowboat with a bundle. I'm guessing the shape Rupert described was the creature. I'm fearing the worst, that maybe Victor refused to make the monsters mate and the monster went on a rampage. I am worried. I have written to Henry to get Victor to get home as soon as possible. I fear for everyone's lives. I saw all that hate and vengence in the creatures eyes in the cave. I hope he doesn't do anything to Victor. If Henry doesn't report back, I will go to Victor myself

It is very creative how you have decided to get into this part of the story. Adding the Rupert character was a very good idea. Through him you have found your way into the story. You have done an excellent job.
