*Elios' perspective*

He felt his body lying on a soft bed, with sheets over him. His senses felt numb, but slowly they awakened. He could hear unfamiliar voices and footsteps.
He could not move his body for some reason, as if it was stiff, but he tried to stir. Eventually he opened his eyes a very teensy bit.

"He's awake!" A woman's voice declared.

He could not see clearly, but could distinguish sunlight in whatever room he was. He heard more footsteps, and saw blurry images of what were probably his parents.

"Elios!" His mom cried. Her voice was shaky.

"What...where am I?" He muttered weakly.

But at that moment, he started to recall what exactly had happened.
He had left the house to see Simon, since he wasn't friends with Sullivan anymore. Some people grabbed him and dragged him into a forest...there was a werewolf.

He remembered being frightened from head to toe, running for dear life, but the werewolf was faster. It caught him under it's claws and dug it's teeth into his shoulder.

Pain like he had never known broke into his shoulder as he yelled and cried. Someone shouted, and the werewolf ran away. Werewolf bites were cursed, so he kept bleeding and hurting...

"You're okay...they brought you to St. Mungo's immediately. You're going to be discharged after a few days now."

He was too dazed to question further. He thought he heard a muffled sob on his left.

"Perhaps you want some more rest?" His mother softly asked.

Elios felt annoyed. Why weren't they explaining anything? His brain felt too numb to think for itself...
He nodded, even though he wasn't sleepy. They left without another word.

Elios tried to make sense of everything. He had been chased by that werewolf, bitten by him...

Bitten by a werewolf.

Realisation struck him, like he'd just been kicked in the stomach.
He'd been bitten. He was a werewolf now. That's why he's in the hospital.

"Mum!" He yelled, trying to bolt up, but a horrible pain seared through his shoulder, that he groaned.
The healers tried to calm him, and they called his mother. She came in running.

"What's wrong?" She urgently asked.

"Mum I'm-" a lump formed in his thought, but he tried to speak as clearly as he could, "I'm a werewolf now?!"
"Yes, but it's okay! We'll take care of you, things will be fine!" she tried to calm him.

"NOTHING IS FINE!" He yelled tearfully. The nurses and healers looked at the scene with sorrow.

"Elios-"

He began crying, muttering the words 'I'm a werewolf now' to himself again and again, but his mind could not acknowledge it. His mother admitted. That meant he was a werewolf. It was true. But how?! Just yesterday he was normal, nothing had happened-
And now...he was bitten?! That wasn't possible. He simply could not accept this. This was wrong. This wasn't suppose to happen. They were lying.
He felt like his heart was a metal thorn, painful and heavy. Although in denial, he felt his insides squirm horribly.

"Where is he?!" He heard a familiarly loud voice from far away, "WHERE IS MY BROTHER?!"

*Elena's perspective*

Elena and Felicia were waiting for Soleil, and decided to not take a bite from the pizza until she arrived. Elena distracted herself with her phone, but Felicia was growing restless. She kept eyeing the box greedily.

"Fel, you're eating it with your eyes." Elena pointed out, "Just take a slice."

"No." She defiantly said, "if I do she'll accuse me of having eaten more than one slice like last time."

Elena grinned. It was true; Soleil was obsessed with pizza and felt no shame playing dirty to get more shares than what was due for her.

"Is Roman home?" Elena asked after some silence, still looking at her phone, reading an online comic.

"Yeah. I specifically made sure he was home today so he could interact with her...I cherish each moment of his suffering."

"I can't tell if this makes you a horrible or wonderful sister."

"Cheers."

The doorbell rang. Felicia opened the door, only to see no one there.

"Where-" Felicia muttered, but had an instant realisation.
She dashed out to her backyard, while yelling in a shrill voice;
"SOLEIL ROSIER IF YOU CLIMB INTO MY ROOM ONE MORE TIME I WILL SKIN YOU ALIVE!"

Elena fell from the couch in a fit of laughter.
Felicia managed to catch her in time, and pulled her from her shirt into the house while saying;
"This is how civilised people enter houses."

Soleil reluctantly followed.
"You're no fun." She grumpily said.

Roman, who came down to check what the noise was, froze when he saw Soleil. He was taller, and he looked pretty with his golden-brown hair and sapphire eyes.

"Hi." He sheepishly said. His voice wasn't squeaky anymore.

"Hi." She said with a smile.

He then sprinted back to his room.
Elena and Felicia smirked to each other. Just like the first time, they said to each other through their eyes.

Soleil looked rather stunned too.

"He's grown taller, hasn't he?" She asked Felicia.

"Yeah. The girls in his year, and in the neighbourhood, like him for his mYstErIoUs AuRa." She said in a mock lovesick voice, "but honestly he's just more reserved now."

"You're mum's not home?" She asked distractedly.

"Nah. She's with grandma. She nearly had a heart attack so mum left for a day to check on her. She'll be back tomorrow. What about you? How did you sneak out this time?"

Soleil shrugged.

"I told them. Well, only mum. I mean, how long am I going to hide it? They already know I'm friends with you guys. It's a matter of time they knew I come over."

"She let you come?"

"She knows she couldn't stop me. Besides, my parents maybe purity-obsessed, but ever since Orion Selwyn happened, they're scared I'll start hating my family too. They're biased, but they do love me."

"Guys," Elena said, "there's a pizza we've got to devour."

They grinned and jumped onto the couch, and the pizza war began.
After the last slice of pizza was eaten, they watched a movie, until Soleil fell asleep in Elena's lap, Felicia rested her head on her shoulder.
