The rest of the day passed quickly . I had so much on my mind that I didn't bother to get the rest of my meals downstairs . It was a full moon that day so I had trouble keeping Fighter from the window . He was much more vigorous than me so I couldn't keep him the way I wanted him to stay for a long time . The urge to meet his family must've grown when he saw the moon because the next moment , he was pulling me from my bed to the door , so that I could let him go .
I wouldn't be able to win the fight with Fighter as my opponent . Giving up my sleep , I opened the door and led him outside through the back door , mainly because Beth's room was near the front door . I didn't want him to start his provoking growl and wake everybody up , including father who was sleeping the farthest from the front door .
Fighter left no time running towards the woods . I found myself hoping that he would come back to me , especially when I needed him , just like when he appeared the night I went to save Ben from the Happons .
Walking here and there hearing Fighters impatient pants had led my sleep to run away from me . I went into the kitchen and made some coffee for myself . I was planning to go to some late night restaurants to find something to eat because as I had mentioned before , the others had finished up my groceries while we were away in Texas , and nobody thought of refilling it . I added that to my list too , after eating a good meal or something .
I was almost out the kitchen door when I heard Kate's voice from behind , "Where are you going , Rene ?"
I almost jumped right out of my skin because I hadn't noticed her in the dark kitchen. "Oh my god ! You gave me a heart attack!"
I looked behind and was quite puzzled to see nobody in the kitchen . I scanned every inch of the room but found no one . Kate was a human , wasn't she ?
Dismissing the incident , I walked away from the kitchen and opened the front door . My heart went through another set of panic attacks when I saw Kate , standing in front of the door , looking me dead in the eye .
"What in the world ! What happened to you Kate ?" She was older than me but it was her who told me to call her by her name .
"U-UH ? Why am I here ?" Everything was puzzling . First Beth , then Ben , then Kate .
What was going on ? Ben wasn't in any danger from the Happons anymore because Kate had told that she had ordered them to stop . But Fredrick still had plans with Ben right? Kate was human , and the only way that Benjamin could've also been a human , was when both the parents were human . But Marge was a Happon too . Does than mean that Nate is also involved in the attacks towards Ben . He was the possessive type , like Kate said . He could also have had connections with other supernatural people and asked them to harm Ben or anyone he wanted to harm .
The possibility of another enemy made me want to break down . I was already having thoughts about changing sides , like Samantha had said I would feel . I didn't want to end up in the wrong side before solving all the problems we had right then .
I didn't realise that Kate was still confused to why she was standing outside the front door , just like me . I told her about what happened from the kitchen . as well as what I thought the reason might be . 'Kate , what if Nate was stalking you this whole time and is using Beth somehow to do something to you , or Ben , or even Marge ? He is known as a Mafia leader so he could have contacts in the underworld industry , as well as supernatural because you're human , and Nate needs to be supernatural for Marge to born as a Happon ."
Kate was listening with full concentration and agreed that she also felt that Nate might be involved . "But let's not tell the others now , just until we find a solid explanation , ok ?"
I nodded , and my stomach grumbled from hunger at the same time . Kate chuckled and made me rush towards Nathaniel's car to get myself some food . Surprisingly , the sun was coming up and some early restaurants had started opening up . After getting some food to calm my stomach down , the sick feeling I had until then faded , and I felt myself again .
I went back home , and everybody was waiting for me o come back with the groceries . Thankfully , I hadn't forgotten about it . When I saw all of them sitting around the kitchen and waiting for me to fry the pancakes , I chuckled , feeling warm and happy . "Cora , Marge , and Nathaniel should really eat from your houses !" I said making everybody laugh .
To make it less awkward , all of us were trying our best to act comfy and laid down around Beth but her introvert self wasn't helping a bit . After a while , I was forced to make everyone an extra egg sandwich because they said that they hadn't felt full yet . We bickered with each other , made fun of each other , and had happy times . If I had been just a normal human , I wouldn't have had met all of these wonderful people . Humans were missing out on a whole big comedy and thriller show . I chuckled while thinking about it .
Ben and I were on good terms too . " I don't know what came over me Rene , but when I was conscious again , I was wiping your lips . I- I just got caught in the moment , I guess ." That was what he had to say and I said that it was okay . With the awkward tension gone , I felt much better .
All of us became quiet when we hear the doorbell ring . I started walking over to the front door when Kate stopped me . "I have a bad feeling . Please be careful , Rene ." She said . I smiled and nodded at her and resumed walking towards it . What Kate said was indeed right . I could feel goosebumps all around my body . Everybody was pin drop silent . I looked over through the peep hole and found a stranger .
I sighed . Maybe he had the wrong address . "Who are you ?!" I asked a little bit loudly . "I'm Nate . I've come here to see my daughter , Margaret ? I believe that she's in this house ."
