"What the hell have you done to me!!"
It took me to recognize who was standing in front of me, but I knew that face. It was the man from town that I had ran into the other day. I had no words for him, I couldn't help but shake in fear. I haven't been tossed around like this since Connor. I quickly pull my arm out of his grasp and punched him square in the jaw, gave him a good uppercut into the stomach. As he went down I made a run for my car. I hit the unlock button and hurry to shove the key into the ignition with my shaking hand and my heart about to beat out of my chest. I look to see if my attacker had gotten off the floor. When I looked over at the elevator, he was gone. He slammed himself up against my car door and attempted to open the door. I let out a scream and finally managed to turn the car on and put the car into gear. I sped of out of the parking lot, I take a look back at the man and he looked defeated in a way. I drive like I was in Fast and Furious, I was cutting corners and going 70mph in a 50mph. I guess I did catch a break tonight because I didn't get pulled over. Pulling into my driveway I hurry to make it into my sweet and safe sanctuary I call my home.
I throw my things on my couch and bolt straight for the window to see if he had followed me. At first I see nothing, just the trees blowing wildly, due to the emerging storm and lighting that lights up the sky as if the Gods were upset. I then begin to see a wolf emerge from the tree line and then I see others follow behind him. I dart to the coat closet and grab my gun, I make my way up the stair and up into my room where I installed extra locks on the door, such as dead bolts and a door chain. I cannot express my paranoia about Connor finding me, extra security was the only way I could sleep at night.
I heard the front door being banged and pounded on. I quickly moved on the other side of my room by the window. I looked outside and find that there are 3 other wolves outside of the house and I could not get a good look at how many were at the door. In conclusion my jumping out my window idea is a no go. I deeply sigh to myself, dreading the upcoming fight. I fought this hard to be here, I am not going down without a fight. Before I knew it banging on my bedroom door began. I pointed my gun straight at the door ready for the fight. Then there was nothing... No more banging... No more growls... Just silence.
There was a light knock at the door, "Camilla? That is your name right? My name is Alaric. Can you please open the door so we can talk." I shuffle slowly towards the door, still holding my gun up.
"Those wolves, they are yours?" I ask
"Yes they are apart of my pack." The word "pack" did not sit right with me. My gut was telling me to open the door, but my mind was raising all sorts of red flags.
"So you sic your wolves on me, break into my house and you expect me to just trust you enough to open the door? Yeah not gonna happen!" I say in a tone of disbelief
"Well I have all night and I need you to reverse whatever you did to my nephew."
"I didn't do anything to this nephew of yours." I am beyond confused, I think to myself.
There was a loud bang on the door, "My patience is wearing thin Camilla. Please. I will not ask again. I just want to talk to you." I step back, there is no way I am opening this door.
"Then I suggest you start talking, because there is no way I am opening this door."
"Fine have it your way." He says, I hear his body slide down the door and onto the floor. "You know you can put the 9mm down now."
"How..." I couldn't find the words
"I knew the moment you hit that hammer on the gun when I came up to the door. it s a good choice of gun. Especially for someone who is protecting themselves from their past."
"Yeah and what the hell would you know about my past." I asked. Curiosity just got the best of me.
"I looked into you the first day that you moved in. I can't have strangers living on my land. Born in 1995 in Fremont Michigan, congrats on being a Gerber baby. Raised in the city of Winchester Michigan until you and your parents moved to Winnfeild Louisiana. You went to college at Barker University and when visiting your parents you met you boyfriend of 4 years. Where is the old champ?"
I began to feel the rage build up and I pointed the gun at the door up enough where I know it won't hit him but close enough to make a point. I fire the gun and hear him yell out. "What the fuck?!?! Are you crazy?!? You could have just told me that it was a touchy subject!!"
"Get the hell out of my house or the next shot I fire, I promise that I will not miss." I say
"Listen, you know I can't do that until you reverse whatever you did to Calvin."
"I am so confused on what you are even talking about." I confess
"Please just open the door and I can show you and explain more."
Against my better judgement I release the hammer on my gun and turn the safety on. I open the door to see Alaric, he was about 6ft tall, well made from the looks of it. He had dirty blond hair, he looked to be in his 50s truthfully. He had an apologetic look on his face, I give him a nod and I lead the way down the stairs and into the living room. I see 2 more wolves sitting by the front door and get a glimpse of the 3 that are still outside. Making it into the living room I see the man from town. I think Alaric said that his name was Calvin. Calvin stood up and made his way towards us. I couldn't help but take a step back and bring my gun into view. He backed up raising his hands in the air.
"Look I am sorry for the parking lot incident, I may have overreacted." He says
"Yeah ya think?" I say rolling my eyes.
"You just have no idea what it is like to all of a sudden not be able to shift."
"I am still so confused. What the hell are you guys even talking about." I place my gun on the coffee
table and take a seat on the couch. "Please explain to me what is going on"
"It is gonna be hard to believe." Alaric says to me
"Harder than you showing up with a "pack" of wolves and then Calvin here telling me that he can't "shift". If this is secret you guys are very bad at keeping it."
"She doesn't even know what she is Alaric, hell how did we expect her to know what we were." Calvin says to Alaric.
"Well we have to tell her now and then we can just go from there. There has to be a way to reverse what she did." Alaric explains.
"Guys I am still sitting right here." I say waving to them. Calvin side steps and sits on the chair that is diagonal from me. He leans forward and places his elbows on his knees and begins to tell me everything. That they are "Werewolves" and that Alaric is their "Alpha". He explains everything to me, how everything works, the chain of command, how they shift, how they have wolf spirits living inside of them and that is how they have the ability to shift. Of course I am filled with questions and how any of this truly has anything to do with me.
"Look that day in town when you rudely ran into me, something happened, it was as if time had stopped for a split second and then after you ran off without saying a word, I felt like there was something missing." Calvin explains, "I went home to train and I couldn't shift, I couldn't get in touch with Caspian, he is my wolf. I am not sure what you did but we need to figure out how to reverse it and fast ."
"I am not sure how." I say
"I know a witch that could help us figure it out." Alaric states
"Wait wait wait... Witches are real too! You have got to be freaking kidding me!" Calvin shakes s head and laughs.
"Okay Camilla time to go." Alaric says extending his hand to me.
Off we go down the rabbit hole I guess
