"Because it's named after you."

Is he messing with me?

"Isn't Vicky a girl's name?" I asked.

"It's unisex." He assured me.

"Why did you agree to keep Vicky?" I asked.

"I thought you'll like that." He replied.

"I do. But what about you? It can be troublesome."

Instead of answering me, he hummed in response.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turn around. It's the werewolf.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Princess." He greeted.

"Who are you?" I asked. "Why have you been following me?"

"I am Sebastian." He replied.

"Well Sebastian, how do you even know I'm the 'Princess' you're looking for?" I asked.

"You're Ashley, aren't you?" He responded.

I gasped. He knows Ashley.

"H-How did you know?" I exclaimed.

"I brought you here sixteen years ago. Back then, we were chased by enemies and I had no choice but to leave you behind, and lure them elsewhere. The bracelet is the only thing that could let me know it's you." He explained.

I was speechless. Ashley had a backstory that neither she nor I knew about.

"How are you related to her?" I spoke suddenly.

He didn't seem to notice my slip up.

"I'm your Uncle." He replies.

"My what?"

No. No, please tell me I'm dreaming.

"Have you notice anything different about yourself?" He asked.

"What do you mean? What should I be noticing?"

No, not the word. Not the 'w' word.

"Your transformation of course. You're a werewolf." He spoke.

"No! You're lying!" I spat out.

Without thinking, I push him aside and run away. I heard a loud bone cracking sound. Is he transforming? Before I could take another step, a giant werewolf jump over my head and landed in front of me.

I gasped before taking many steps back. I came to face Dylan's back when he came in front of me and shielded me from the werewolf.

I peek from behind Dylan and realised that the werewolf was someone I knew.

"Chuckle?" I gasped.

Its eyes widened as realisation hit him.

"Victoria?" It spoke.

I came out from hiding behind Dylan and took a closer look at him.

"Is it really you?"I asked.

Time skip~

Sebastian and I sat on a bench, we had been silent for a while. Dylan stood beside the tree, patting Vicky on his arm.

I stare at the tree grimly. I had expected our reunion to be quite joyous actually.

He finally broke the silence by asking, "Why do you have the bracelet?"

"Ashley gave it to me," I answered. "We've known each other for years and we're living together actually."
