WANTED [REWRITING]

WANTED

I KNEW I shouldn't have taken a nap so early in the day but i was tired from the car ride. Which was the reason why, at midnight, i woke up in my room, in my dads house--scared and alone. I turned on the lamp beside my bed and looked around. Nothing was out of place, it was just as i left it. I was safe. My curtains were drawn closed so i couldn't see outside nor did i want to. Opening the door to my room, i peaked out and noticed the hallway lights were off too. I've been afraid of the dark for as long as I can remember. Didn't exactly known why, I just was. For a girl my age, fearing the dark wasn't exactly ideal.

Turning on the lights to my room, I pushed the door wide open and proceeded to walk to the kitchen. The light from my room only reached to the bathroom so I ran--sprinted-- to the kitchen and switched the lights on. I felt safe but not safe enough that, I went around the house switching on every light that i could find. It was only then, that i noticed my dad was no where to be found.

"Dad?" I called. Nothing. I went to his room and found it empty.

"So he left me here all alone and went out," I sighed. "Great."

Out of the stillness of the night, there not far off in the distance, I heard a howl. Soon after other howls joined in as well. It sounded like it was closing in and I stood listening. I heard the running of multiple feet passing by the house and around. I felt like i was being surrounded.

I ran through the living room and pass the kitchen to the back door to look out the window.  Just as I got there the door knob turned and I paused, bracing for whomever was coming through. The door creaked open and there was my dad...full blown naked. My eyes grew wide as my eyes found his chest...

I closed them shut immediately.

"Oh my god!" I yelled in horror, as I turned around. "Why are you naked?!"

"M-Mia...I thought you were sleeping,"he stuttered. I could hear him stumbling about to cover himself.

"I was but i woke up," I told him, then asked again. "Why are you naked?"

"Uh....urm..." he stammered.

"It's a simple question," I hissed, folding my arms even though he couldn't see.

"Yes, but my answer isn't so simple," he said.

"Then explain," I demanded.

"Let me get some clothes on first," he said. I heard a door open and shut. I heard the sound of a zipper and then the rustle of a shirt being pulled on.

"Done?" I asked.

"Yes."

I turned around to find him sitting down at the kitchen table and now fully clothed. He motioned for me to join him. I walked over and slumped into the chair next to him.

"So..." I waited impatiently.

"I was out running," he told me.

"Naked? You were out running naked?"  I said not believing him.

"Yes," he simply answered.

"What, is this a nudist community?" I asked worried.

The last thing I wanted was to look out my window and see naked people walking about, with things hanging and out in the open. Talk about gross. 

"No," he shook his head then added. "But this nude run occurs every month."

"Is it like a group celebration or some tradition?" I probed.

"Yes...more or less," he nodded.

"What is it, that you're not telling me?"  I asked.

I had this strange feeling that my dad wasn't telling me everything. If anything, it seemed like he was beating around the bush.

His fingers tapped the tables as he pondered whether or not he should tell me. Finally he sighed and gave in.

"Your moms going to kill me for telling you," he sighed.

I was confused, what did my mom have to do with this? Why would it matter to her?

"What do you mean?" I asked, adjusting in the chair to get comfortable.

"She stressed, that she didn't want you knowing," he shared.

"Knowing what?" I pressed.

"About me," He sighed, rubbing his face.

"What about you?" I probed.

"That I'm..." He trailed off, looking at me and shaking his head. I could tell his mind was going back and forth about telling me.

"What!" I partially yelled, not meaning to slam my fist into the table.

He moved closer to me, like he was leaning in to tell me a secret. The way that girls often did when the other was about to reveal a big secret, but in this case the other girl was my dad.

"A werewolf." He proclaimed. Then he got up without another word and left me sitting at the table, stunned and in disbelief.
