"Discovering oneself is what we all journey for in this life."
I began to feel my bones popping and moving in different places with me still screaming in fear and agony. About 5 minutes or so after, the pain stopped and sudden...
Those were the only words running through my mind. After about 10 minutes of silence I was finally able to snap out of my stupor.
"What do you mean you're my sister? My sister died along with my dad during a rogue attack on our pack when I was little. Mum tell her!" I said in confusion and hysteria.
"I actually made it out of the war alive" she replied smiling.
"Wait if you made it out alive then that must mean your father did as well?" mum questioned with eyes full of hope, but the way the girl's smile disappeared told differently.
"No mum, daddy didn't make it. I woke up a week after the war in a foreign place in which I was told no one had survived. But I didn't want, no I couldn't accept the fact that you guys were dead so I kept searching for you everywhere for the last 10 years. I finally got a lead that you guys were in New York. I followed the lead only to come up empty handed, but I still didn't give up until yesterday I found out from one of the doctors of the hospital you worked at in New York that you moved to Rainfall California about a month ago. I couldn't miss another chance at finding you, so my mate and I immediately boarded the next flight and here I am." she said in tears.
Mum immediately got up to hug my sister with her own tears streaming down her face. I just stood there not knowing what to do, I wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad. Happy my big sister was alive or sad we hadn't known and she had to go through the pain and restlessness of looking for her family who couldn't be found. I decided to do the only logical thing at the moment, and that was to go and join the hug.
I didn't know whether I joined the hug because I really didn't know what else to do or because I didn't want to wake up for it to have been nothing but a dream.
After all the emotional exchange was over, my mum, my sister who I remembered as well as was told was called Lovelyn Irina Dema, her mate Kwame Adjei and I made our way to the kitchen for the dinner mum had prepared earlier.
"So Sasha what grade are you in now? " Lovelyn asked
" I'm in grade 12."
"Wait I thought you were 17, doesn't that usually mean the 11th grade?" voiced Kwame.
"Yeah, but Sasha here skipped the second grade" answered mum.
"Not to be rude or anything, but how come you smell human?" Kwame asked the question everyone including myself would love to know the answer to.
"I don't know but mum said it would have changed when I first shifted but for some reason it didn't."
"Yeah I guess we have to wait until you shift then."Lovelyn voiced, seeming to have been thinking the same question.
"Oh actually I have already shifted, I shifted about a week ago."
"Wait mum did you give him anything to cover up his scent?" she asked
"No. If we want to find out why, it'll be best to find someone who has knowledge on these kind of things." answered mum.
"Why don't we find out whenever you come to visit us, there's a witch in our pack who specializes on things like this." my sister suggested.
"That's a great idea. How long will you be staying?" mum asked
"About a week, if that's okay with you ma'am" Kwame replied nervously.
"Call me Celeste or mum. And that's okay, the reason I ask why is because I'm on call tonight, so I have to leave. Will you kids be okay?"
"Of course mum, go save lives. You are after all the best doctor out there." I said.
Blushing, she turned to leave but not before stopping to give us kisses while saying "I love you guys. I'm glad you're alive Lovelyn and welcome to the family Kwame."
Looking at the time, we decided to call it a night. I showed them their room, told them goodnight and retired to my room. I fell asleep that night with a smile on my face thinking, "I can't wait to get to know Lovelyn and Kwame better, as well as tell Shemara about them."
There you guys go, thank you for being patient and impatient, hope you enjoy this. Vote and comment Love, Kay
