I had always wanted a couple of normal days to myself and I got it . My injury was healing at a constant speed since I wasn't using my powers anymore .
After a 2 weeks , my bruise was completely healed . I remembered that I had to help Nathaniel with something . I could feel that I was ready to use my powers again.
I left for his house and we had a nice talk , catching up with each other . He looked like he hadn't slept for days , his normally tanned skin now fully pale with bags under his eyes . "What is it that you want?" I asked since I had a feeling that his sleep and the help he needed was related .
" You may have seen how I became a werewolf . That werewolf was my father who did it when he lost control during one of his compulsory turns . I -"
I cut him off ."Can you tell me everything about werewolves first ? I don't catch up with the turns and COMPULSORY turns."
The first werewolf was made by a which who gave the power to turn into a human in return for saving her life . She didn't think that she would end up creating a new supernatural creatures indirectly . The werewolf had caught a human once instead of the wild animals it usually ate to avoid trouble from humans when he was a wolf . It was totally by accident . The first werewolf was a mere teenager who was hiding in the woods from his bullies . Once the wolf realised that he was a human , he left that teenage boy there and ran into the deep woods , planning to be away from human mankind for life . The boy had a painful turning and when the bullies found them , he was human . He ended up biting all the bullies and all of them were turned into werewolves . They were all on bad terms but got along once they were wolfs . They could turn whenever they wanted and had control over themselves but when they were forced to turn, , they tried to be together and away from humans since they had no control over themselves during their turns when it was the full moon .
When they grew older , they had trouble keeping up the hiding during full moon and one day they failed to make it to their spot . They ended up attacking many people and fled . That had led to the existence of a number of werewolves and ALSO , how he had become a werewolf when his father wasn't able to go away from him .
The problem was that he had done the same with his son . His wife hadn't known that he was a werewolf so when she saw him turn right in front of his eyes , she was shocked . She became angry and scared , screamed with fear when she saw him bite HIS son . He couldn't turn back whenever he wanted to when he was turned because of the full moon so he had no time to explain anything to her when she saw her son turn into a small cub . She screamed with fear , and left both their son and him there. She wouldn't listen to him for any explanation and kept on calling him a demon .
He truly loved her but she was now way too scared to see it . He wanted me to show what happened to him . I thought it was really important when I heard about his son .
"How's your son holding up with his new change?" I asked because I hadn't seen him when I came to his house the last time . "He's been keeping the fact that he was a werewolf now like it was daily basis thing but he ignores me now . Even though he accepted is new change , I don't think he accepts me . But he did way batter at holding up than me when I went through the same thing . "He laughed at me .
He lead me to his room and from the looks of his son's bedroom door , I could see his youth glowing . There were pictures of toy cars and cartoon characters stuck on his door which was white in colour . My smile slightly faded when I read the message written to Nathaniel , which said "DON'T BOTHER TO BITE ME AGAIN , I'M ALREADY ONE OF YOU NOW !"
He was clearly upset about this and it seemed like he didn't trust his father anymore . I opened the door and found that he was turning in and out of his human form . He was smiling . But he stopped when he realised that the door was open . "Hi ! I'm your father's friend ." I smiled cheekily at him . "Hi! I'm Harvey . I think you know that what I am ." He DID smile but it slowly faded away . I understood that it would be cool being different but he must be feeling like he was one of the black sheep of the world . "You are WHO you are . You are not a thing or an animal , ok? Being able to turn into a werewolf has it's perks too . I'll let you meet vampires , and other supernatural creatures you read in stories . Even I'm somewhat like you ." I tried comforting him since he looked so uncomfortable .
"Really ? What can you do ? Can you turn into something much cuter ?" I laughed . "No sweetie , I have different powers . " Even though it was hard to choose , I chose to use my power so that I could cheer him up . I held his arm and tried something new . I tried showing him MY life instead of seeing his life .
"Woah!!!You're so cool !" Both of us had fun playing with his toys . I looked at the door and realised that Nathaniel had left us too alone .
We were having a great time when Nathaniel bought some tea and snacks . "You're treating me so well that I think I will be indebted to you." I said sarcastically .
"Well , you better pay me back handsomely or you will face the consequences ."He said imitating the voice of an old man . Both of us burst out laughing while Harvey couldn't understand what the joke was about . All three of us ate some biscuits and had tea . Harvey went to take a nap because he was tired . He shocked both of us by giving a kiss to Nathaniel before leaving .
"Do you know where your wife is right now ?" I asked him .
"No , she moved out saying that she was scared I would attack her in her sleep now that she knew what I was . " He said sadly . I didn't think I would be able to find people with my powers . I know my mind was capable of fixing my target but I didn't think they would help me during this situation . "I'm sorry but I can only help you in letting her know your harmless . I don't think I have the power to find people . I'm sorry that I am not any help right now . " I bowed my head . I was very thankful that he had saved father so it was only natural I felt guilty for not being able to help . "It's fine , really Rene . You don't have to look so guilty , it's making me feel guilty as well . There is something you can do for me though . "
He wanted my help in finding a witch too . I agreed . I already knew about a witch. He/she was in contact with my boss . I needed to find out about the witch before killing him . I left his house and went back home since it was turning dark soon . Nathaniel wanted me to stay and have dinner but I politely refused . I didn't want father to worry about me too much . Also , after a break this long , today was the day we were planning on making my fake parents pay for the horrible things they've done .
I reached back home and saw that dad was waiting for you . "Thanks for waiting , Mr. Jayden Roosevelt ." I greeted him as a joke . "Your welcome , Ms. Rene Roosevelt ." He said smiling . I told that I wanted to take a small nap to recharge myself and he agreed . Even though I had only used my power for a short time , I had a small bruise on my left arm again . I met with Samantha and my other dead versions and woke up as soon as I could feel that I was charged back again .
We wore our gears with a black mask to hide our faces just so that no one would recognise us. This was the best feeling ever . I was sure that no one would have had their father as their partner in doing something like killing . Dad hadn't bothered to check out their location since he had me . I gave him directions to their house , which was not the house they told they stayed in to the public . They were living life full of lies to cover themselves up . Even though it was weird calling dad by his name , I decided to see him as my partner too , just like how dad saw me during missions .
He parked his car a little bit away from their house so that it was not that suspicious, and we walked to our location . It was a sunday so I was pretty sure that they would be relaxing and having a huge spa time . It was at this moment that I found that living with them had not totally wasted my time . "Jayden , which way are we going to enter ? or do you need my help with it?" I asked , trying my best not to laugh just because I called his name . "Rene , did you really think that I would rely on you for the whole mission ? When you were away , I had actually mapped our way in and out of this huge mansion ." He chuckled and continued , "Last time I was not confident about your abilities so I chose to enter through the back . But this time , we are BOTH ready so we are barging in alright ."
Those words made adrenaline rush to my veins . I was excited at the thought of killing those devils and making a heroic and badass finishing for this mission .
(Author's note : I'm going to be using Rene's father's name instead of just 'father' or 'dad' during missions when I have to mention him from now on . ONLY WHEN THEY ARE IN BETWEEN MISSIONS.)
Jayden kicked the door open and we heard my FAKE mother's shriek . "BOB ! What just happened ?!" She called my FAKE father . "I don't know Hailey dear , but I'm going to check it out." He told her . "Well you better ! I don't want want any thief getting their dirty foot on my EXPENSIVE carpet !"
Her character had surely changed from what I have known her for . She used to act like she was so kind when I used to live with them . I guess now I know her true colours .
Bob came downstairs and we stood there , right in the middle of her PRECIOUS carpet , waiting for him to notice us . "What are you too doing there? You DO know that this is the owner here right? Aren't you supposed to take something and run away from me , thief ?" He was confused to why we were standing right on our spots , not moving . "Call your wife , sir ." Jayden talked to him . "Well , do you mid telling me why I would follow your orders ?" He was creeping much closer to us now and I think he was doing a stupid move cause he wasn't fully sure whether we were weaponless or not .
Jayden took put his Chiappa Rhino revolver with a .357 Magnum 9mm Parabellum which had a 40 S&W 9×21mm .38 Special cartridge . This bought him back to his senses and he shouted out for his wife . "Hailey !!!You better come and see this !" He said , cautiously keeping an eye on the revolver .
I had expected them to recognise me but maybe the mask was hiding way too much ? Since I wanted to feel the taste of revenge , just when Hailey came downstairs shouting back that she didn't want to see her carpet dirty , I took my mask off .
Both of them looked at me visibly shocked to the core with eyes open so wide that I could see their whole iris .
