It was about 11:00 pm when there was a knock on my front door. My parents weren’t home, they went to a party an hour away. They just left at 9 so they wouldn’t be back in a long time. I was just making something to eat, and about to watch a movie when the knock occurred.
I peeked out the front window and saw a girl, she was naked and seemed cold. I opened the door without thinking. She looked at me when I let her in. She was covering up and I ran upstairs quickly and grabbed one of my father’s sweatshirts. She pulled it over herself and whispered “Thank you.”
“Are you hungry?” I asked feeling nervous.
“I don’t know.”
I smiled. “How can you not know?”
“I don’t know.”
This girl seemed scared, and confused. I just plopped her on the couch and started making her a grilled cheese. She was shivering when I came back with the food. I handed her the plate, she smiled up at me. I went to go get a blanket. By the time I got back the plate was on the coffee table, empty.
“Would you like something else?”
“No thank you, I’m good.”
This girl was beautiful. She had huge eyes that were blue green. She had auburn hair that went down past her waist. She had small hands and her legs were all scarred up. I sat across from her and stared at her. I must have freaked her out.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said looking up.
“You were staring at me. Why?”
“Why were you naked?”
She hesitated. “I can’t tell you that.”
“Did someone attack you?”
“No.”
“Then what?”
“Then nothing, just drop it okay?”
“No. I don’t want to. I want to know why I keep finding you nude.”
“I’m telling you I can’t answer that. I don’t trust you.”
“Yet, you ate what I gave you?”
“It wasn’t poisoned, I would’ve been able to smell it if there was something.”
“What do you like to do for fun…”
“My name is Isabella Lynn.”
“My name is Alec Paul.”
“That’s a strange name.”
“I could say the same to you.”
“That was what you call offensive.”
“I was just kidding Isa…”
“Call me Bella Ly.”
“Okay Bella Ly, what do you like to do for fun?”
“I like running and hunting. I also do school work but I don’t think you would consider that fun.”
“You run? Like cross-country?”
“No, it’s slightly different.”
“So like track?”
“Again, no.”
“Then what’s it like?”
“I can’t tell you.”
“We have too many secrets, and I don’t have any friends that live around here, so why don’t I tell you something about me and you’ll tell me something about you. A secret for a secret.” I said looking up into her eyes. They were blue now, but then I could see them turning green. It was a strange thing to see. The colors just swirled together, but one over powered the other one.
“Okay, but you go first.”
“My parents are practically never home.”
“That isn’t much of a secret. That secret isn’t really about yourself at all.”
“Fine, um… I was adopted. My birth parents didn’t want me.”
“How do you know that?”
“Because they left me on a doorstep.”
“I never said goodbye to my parents.” she said.
“What do you mean?”
“They think I’m dead. That’s why the people who used to live here moved. They couldn’t take living in the place where their daughter had supposedly committed suicide.”
“How did you survive if you supposedly committed suicide.”
“That’s another secret. Your turn.”
“Alright, my birth parents used to abuse me.”
“How so?”
I smiled. “That’s another secret.”
She smiled back at me, and her eyes were turning blue. “I’m a wolf.”
