I hate this.
I hate moving.
I hate being the new girl.
Even though I loath moving my father would always move every time someone got curious about us or asked too many questions. And it has been that way since I was born. He and Mom are always on the move with me. From the day I was born, till now my father moved us from town to town from place to place. And now finally we are in a new town that is in the middle of nowhere. His reason for doing this was still very much unknown. This town has a population of eight thousand, nine hundred and eighty-nine people.
" Dad please, please tell me that is the last place we are moving to. "
I say honestly frustrated.
" Sweetheart I hope so. "
Dad says in a tone, that isn't a hundred percent certain.
As we drove into the town all the streets were deserted. It almost looked as if the town had no one in it. Dad drove until he came to our new home. The lights were already on and it had a man who looked to be in his early thirties. Mom and Dad got out of the car first. Their conversation with the man was brief, he handed a bunch of keys to Dad and left.
Dad comes back to the car and pops the trunk.
" Grab your bag sweetheart. "
I get out of the car and walk around to the truck. I took my bag out and looked towards the house. This was going to be my home so I had to take it all in.
" Selene come on let's go in. "
Mom says looking around.
My Mom was even more cautious than my Dad. Sometimes it felt as if they were both hiding something. But even though it felt like that I just threw it off as new in-town jitters. We all went inside. The house is fully furnished, with a home feel to it, and it is also very rustic. You could fall in love with this house easily. Walking down the hall I passed a picture of a family and stopped.
" Mom, is this your house? "
I asked.
" It is, I grew up here. "
She says fondly.
Mom showed me to my room and I smiled at her. This room had everything I wanted and most importantly it had a window. One big enough that I can see the moon through. Mom also gives me another gift, alone time. I sigh as she leaves. I went to the window and I looked for the moon.
Brother, I'm in a new town.
I think inwardly as I look to the moon. I have always felt a connection with the moon like we are siblings the moon and me. Unpacking my clothes and putting them in the dress was easy it also had clothes in the closet. I believe that they belonged to Mom when she was my age. After unpacking I took a shower, got changed, and headed downstairs. Halfway down the stairs, I heard Mom and Dad talking.
" It's time we tell her Chase. "
Mom says.
" No, not yet. "
Dad says in an objective tone.
" She'll be eighteen in two weeks. Chase, she has to know now. "
Mom says.
I try to get closer to listen in more when the traitor star announces my arrival downstairs.
" In here sweetheart. "
Dad calls to me.
I go into the kitchen and Mom puts me down.
" We know you heard our conversation and it's time. Time for you to know everything. "
Dad says, a bit unsure.
" Okay, I'm listening. "
I say looking at both of them.
" Hone,y you were born special. You and me both. I'm a werewolf. "
Mom says, taking hold of my hand. She then looks at Dad.
" You're father is human. He is what I call my mate. And you sweetheart when you turn eighteen will become a werewolf just like me."
She continues to explain.
" But Selene you won't be an ordinary she-wolf you'll be a white wolf and you will be able to use the powers of the moon goddess. "
I listened to all that my Mom had to say unable to form words. So all the moving around was because they were trying to keep secrets. They keep something as important as this from me. I wasn't mad, I was passed mad.
" Why? "
I found myself asking.
" Why didn't you tell me? "
I ask again feeling betrayed.
" Sweetheart we didn't tell you because we wanted you to have a normal childhood. "
Dad says.
His response only pisses me off further.
" You call moving from place to place, town to town. Never having any friends, normal?"
I half yelled.
I get up from the chair I was sitting in. I went upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut.
" Selene, open the door, sweetheart. "
Dad says his voice pleading.
" Go away. "
I yell.
I was full-blown crying now. All this time. They could have just told me the truth. They didn't have to let me group up alone,
No friends.
___
So Selene knows. She finally knows why her parents always move around. How will she process the new information about herself?
