Shewolf

Chapter: 10

The two days before my birthday were completely a blur. My same routine, running, staying calm, cool showers, dumb ass dream, that's what my life was. At least till today; my got damn birthday.

"Happy Birthday sissy." Of course it was Brittany. It wasn't like I didn't want to see her but at the same time it was just weird. I hadn't really been spending time with her the way I use to.

"Thanks Brit." I said with a genuine smile.

"Well what do you want to do today. We usually make plans but." She said looking at me as if she knew I knew something. Was it the same something? My mom appeared in the room moments later.

"You girls need to get ready. I have a big day planed for all of us." I looked at my mom a little annoyed. She told me don't make plans simply because she had something to do with me, only me. Well at least that's what I thought. I didn't complain though.
I got up and headed to the bathroom.
I started to wash my face with cool water and brush me teeth.

"So how are we pulling this off mom." I could hear Brittany talking to my mom. About what I didn't know so I listened harder.

" I just waited to long to tell her. Now she's fully ready to turn and I don't know how to tell her."

"Well that's why I'll be their and chief Ludlow." Who the hell is this chief Ludlow, a cop. What the hell was a cop coming with us on my birthday for?

"I just thought that when her father passed, she wouldn't have to be apart of that life." What fucking life?

"Mom you have to remember our life is not always what it seems like. You didn't get the chance to experience the beauty of what it means to be free and live by the laws of a different world."

"I know, I know. I just can't lose her too."

"You won't and I'll see to that." It had got really quite and it was hard to understand everything I just heard.

"I think she's listening we have to stop talking mom." What? How could she possibly know that I was listening to them. So to be honest, yea I wanted to know what was going on like right now, I have to just play along and see how this shit plays out; I'm so confused and the most disturbing way. I went back to my room and got dressed. Wen I came downstairs they were kindly talking to one another. It's was weird because I could tell that Brittany knew I was there, like she sensed my presence. My mother on the other hand had no clue. You guys remember that list of weird things, let's just say it's the list of clues now, we're gonna add that right on there.

"I'm ready." I said slightly on edge. My temper has, heightened I guess you could say. Some would say gotten worst, but mine doesn't feel bad. It's like I have control of it but if I was to use it I could lose control. Brittany looked at me and then my mom. They looked worried but excited, well at least Brittany did on the excited part. We small talked on our way to the car and the whole ride to the restaurant. Things were so "normal". You couldn't even tell that it all was fake.

We pulled up to Empire Diner and it seemed pretty empty. To be completely honest, the damn thing looked empty. We got out the car and entered the quite diner. You couldn't see the old couple and group of friends from the outside but the diner was still too empty. This strange feeling started to build inside of me.
I felt as if I had to be on guard.

"Right this way." A waiter said distributing my thoughts. As he showed us to our seat, he repeatedly looked back at Brittany then me then forward. It was weird. When we got to our seat there was a man already there. He looked tall and strong; overly healthy. His hair was red kind of the same as mine. We sat down but the man was looking down at something in his hand.

"Hello Ludlow." My mother said shorty. I looked at her trying to figure out how she knew this man. But when she said his name he looked up right at me. My eyes were wide with confusion when I saw his face; he looked almost exactly like me, like my father. He never looked at my mom though his eyes were glued to me.

"Hello Armonie, I'm Ludlow, your uncle."
