Neverlus was pretty much an improvement of what earth used to be. Needless to say it was beautiful and un infected. Walking down the street to my parent's house Dean got many look by the females that would pass him by. He acted as if they had no affect on him, it was convincing seeing that he never once looked at any of his fans. Big open grass fields for you to run and stretch your paws on. Let your wolf out and scare them. Dean's right what would the people of Neverlus do at the sight of a werewolf? It will cause a hysteria but I can assure you no one would look at our Dean again. Sure we'll get banned for life which would suck for you seeing that you're an immortal but hey Dean is ours. Not theirs now let's scare these whores of Neverlus! I swear that little voice had possession problems when It came to Dean, first she wants him then she changes her mind when she catches sight of another handsome guy she's on their team. "Stop thinking about your wolf love. You're going to entice it and cause it to come out like last time. As much as I'd find that hilarious, you made a promise to your sister. I really don't think she would be very happy with you if you wolfed out. She wants to see your family despite if you want to or not. They are still your family. This will be over before you know it and we can head back to the Falcon. Don't forget I have something for you." Again Dean and Rach exchanged a glance but said nothing of what exactly it meant. They're keeping secrets from us! That's not even right your mate and your sister are keeping things from you! I don't like this what if we busted ass last night and they both heard it and are planning to use it against us. Not that you would care or anything if that were the secret. But I mean come on you must be just a tad curious as to what the glances mean. I know I am, so sabotage the family get together and we can go back to the Falcon early!! I had to keep the promise to Rach of getting through the dinner or whatever this was without fighting with anyone. That was a promise I should have never made because I knew there was no getting around it. Time changes people even when you wished it didn't; it was the cruelest thing and there was no stopping it. Considering how much someone could change in just one year think of how much it can change someone in four.
Before Rachel got a chance to lift her dainty hand up to the door to knock, it opened and there stood my dad. The last time I had spoken to him was back at the HQ before we had even started the mission. We didn't end that on exactly the best of terms. "Girls! Dean!" He welcomed opening the door to let us in to their house. I had never once stepped foot her nor had Rachel. The house was a big two story villa styled house with high ceilings and a huge back yard. It was awkward being here in a house full of mortals, their smell was so much different than the ones I had been used for. If I had to compare it to something it would be dirt, I don't know why but that's just the thing it reminded me of. Not food like others here have said the infected smell non infected as. Just shows how truly ignorant people here were towards the infected. "Cande, Rachel and Dean right?" My mom greeted stepping out from the kitchen smiling, it was apparent that it was forced. It hurt more than I had expected, I guess somewhere I had hoped that just for this one time they would be happy to see us. I wanted the parents that Dean had, not only for my own selfish reasons but for Rachel's sake as well. She deserved to have parent like his. To let her know that there was nothing wrong with her and that we weren't the only ones that truly loved her. Every thing was fine until Sarah and Rick showed up, then I was sorry that I had wasted a day of our vacation on these people.
"It smells like dog and death in here." Was the first thing out of Rick's mouth as he entered my parent's house. Making a disgusted face Sarah, Rick, and Lilly looked in our direction. That was it, they had turned Lilly into their minion as Ava was. "Really I was thinking the same thing but not dog. More like it had the hopeless feeling of something pathetic and free loading." I shot back my statement directed at Rick. Ohh Do not even start with me. I will rip you apart and not feel even the slightest bit of remorse. Do not test me at all you pathetic mortal. "You know there is a yard that you guys can run in, Lilly wanted a dog and seeing that you guys are here Rachel can be her dog. Go ahead Rach turn into what you really are." That was it, I had fought it the best I could but as soon as the first tear broke free from her water line and no one did nothing to defend her I lost it. In a blink of an eye I was on top of Rick and had him pinned to the floor. Refusing to get off of him and snarling, drool leaking from my clenched teeth and on to his face. Out of the corner of my eye I could see them all back away, all but Rachel and Dean. "Get off of him! Mom look at her! Look at what she was, you were right about werewolves they're too un predictable. Shoot her or something she's going to kill him!" Honestly this whole little stunt was not to hurt him but to scare the fuck out of him. He had no right to speak to Rachel like that and I would scare him as bad as he had hurt her. The only good thing was that Lilly was not around to see this happen. She had gone to the bathroom before and was still in there. Slowly to appear more intimidating I lowered my head growling and snapped my teeth right in front of his face.
"Cande come on, he's not worth it. I just want to go back home with you and the others can we please just go now. I'm not mad at you I promise I just want to go home. Please shift back so we can go, you were right about it being a waste to come here. You guys are my family, please shift back." I didn't have to turn to look at Rach to know that she was crying, like crying, crying. I could hear it in the shakiness of her voice. I could also tell that Dean had been comforting her as well. It'll be a fast death. Just go a little closer and you'll be able to rip his throat out. He's a dick, always has been and always will be. I told you we should have left him on earth to die when this all happened. But no you had to be a hero for Lilly. Look how they treat you, even I could tell you you deserve better. Never mind about ripping his throat out, he's not worth the effort. Let's just go but stomp on his balls or something. Wait that's not possible since he was none. Just walk away all sassy and stuff. "Come on love." Dean held out a towel he must have grabbed from the table to me. I shifted back with no problem and wrapped the towel securely around myself. "You know what, I hope you guys are happy you have ruined Rachel. She wanted to see you, all of you. I didn't for all I'm concerned you can all fuck yourselves. I saved you when the shit hit the fan and this is how you treat your own family? That's pathetic! Rach is a really great kid, but you'll never know that because you gave up your rights to her when you fled to Neverlus. She's mine and I will raise her the best I can. We don't need you, any of you. And you if you ever have contact with us again and say something so derogatory I will with out a doubt rip you apart. You may be the father to Lilly but I'm sure Sarah can find a replacement for her just as easily as she found you." I took a step towards him causing him to take a step back. "Cande." My dad began but I was having none of it. "And to think everyone here thinks all of the monsters are back on earth when they're clearly here. I'm done, we're done." I wrapped my arm around Rachel and grabbed onto Dean's hand and lead them outside.
"I'm sorry Rach, I tried to stop that from happening but I just lost it. I didn't mean to ruin this for you, I know how much you wanted it to work out." I pulled her closer to my side without letting the towel go. "If it'll make you feel better I'll drop the towel and scare the people on the street. Just think of them as being casualties, I guarantee you at least half of them will go blind. It'll be too funny to watch as they so desperately try to cover their eyes. God knows I'll do it if it will make you feel better." I acted as if I was undoing my towel ever so slowly. "God no!" She laughed frantically tucking in the corner flap into the towel to hold it on better. "I'm not mad at you, I just hoped they would be different. I didn't want to believe they were how you said they were. You were right about us being with our family the whole time. I'm glad to have you and Dean not to mention the others." She smiled and looked at me and Dean.
Back on the falcon Mikaela looked terrified as she saw me enter only wearing a towel. " I was going to ask but you know what, the less I know the better. But I do want to know why you're wearing a towel. What can I say the curiosity has gotten the best of me so spill." "I wolfed out and threatened to kill rick, you know my family hasn't changed one bit." She nodded smiling and looking at the towel "That sucks I liked the clothes you had worn, now their shredded into a million pieces." I felt fear as I began to lose my grip on the towel that concealed my most private parts. "NO AVA! Trust me there is nothing under there that you would want to see. Trust me! She has nothing on Ava, that is her dress! I don't care if you like the color for the love of all that's holy release the towel Ava!" Ava saw it as being some sort of a game and pulled harder and harder. "Ava Marie good god child relax. How did i have a demon seed instead of a baby mermaid?! Release the towel!!" With one final pull Layla was able to get Ava to release her death grip on the towel. All while keeping the towel in place without damaging anyone's eyes. "So we're staying here for the night and heading out in the morning right?" Mikaela asked with her back towards me, I knew what she was doing. "Yeah it's getting late Mika." "Cande we would like to see you." Dean called from the cabin he had been in earlier. Still wearing the towel I walked in to see him and Rachel sitting on the bed. "Oh wow this isn't how I was planning on this happening. With you wearing only a towel and all but I suppose I'll run with it." He looked and Rachel one last time before looking back at me. She smiled and handed him something I couldn't quite make out.
