A Wolf's Blood (hold)

I - Veracious

Fenrey's POV

My fingers grasp the soft ribbon that adorned the present that my twin had pushed into my hands a couple of second ago. She was bouncing all over the place, like she'd just consumed a couple dozen red bulls, she was only like this around me and mum. She was the cool calm and collected badass at school, maybe that was due to her unnaturally pale green eyes that would change between white and grey sometimes.

Today was our nineteenth birthday, November 13th.

She was my twin we'd been born only a minute in difference, me being the older one. But we looked alike but at the same time we didn't at all. My eyes are a hazel brown with specks of gold that float around sometimes.

Our hair is different her's is a dusty brown that had streaks of dirty blonde in it. While mine was almost void black, sighing I look over at mum. She didn't look to much like either me or my sister, the skin color seems to be about the only thing we inherited from her. She'd said we'd inherited our look from our father.

I'd seen a few pictures of him, but even then there are some traits that are just bizarre that we have. Especially Embry she looks like a completely different person from mum. Sometimes I wonder if were adopted, but then other time I think I am just being paranoid.

I could attribute that to the fact that we're hiding apparently from the Werewolves High Council! Mum wouldn't tell us exactly what she was hiding from or why we were to suppose to keep it a secret that we knew of the supernaturals existence!

Even though we are one's ourselves...

"Fenery hurry up and open the bloody present! I can't wait anymore!" She whines at me, her messy hair done up in a clumsy bun atop her head.

"Em remember your brother loves doing things methodically." Mum says grabbing a pillow and throwing it at Embry. She laughs and easily catches the projectile coming towards her head.

I pop the tape off the wrapping and keep unwrapping tile the smell of something magical enters the air. My eyes widen as I pull the wooden box from the elegant black wrapping.

There are rune carved into the head of the wooden casing. Lifting and the lid open, I find a necklace laying in the folds of soft velvet cushion.

"Fen! What do you think?" Embry ask her body bumping softly into mine as she rest her head on my shoulder. The soft smell of her lemony smelling hair drifts into my nose mixing with the magical smell that is coming from the neckless.

"Em where did you find that?" Mum ask her an edge entering her voice, and the warm fire that is burning seem to be too hot at the moment!

Embry turns her head away from me, apparently not hearing the edge in Mum's voice. But I can barely tear my eyes away from the neckless, there's something alluring about it.

"Just out and about, I stumbled upon this old little show in downtown near the old condemned building their taking down soon. If you head out and head towards the darker part of town there's this shop. A friend told me about it, it's called 'Mystic's Wonders' a nice old lady runs it, you'd love her, she let me see her collection. That managed to catch my eye, so I thought I'd buy it for Fenery." She says softly her voice casual.
