The Misplaced & Hidden

Chapter Seventeen - Helping Out The Family

Helping Out The Family (Chapter Seventeen)

  I stood in front of what was supposed to be my Auntie Ann and Sebastian's house, but what I found instead was rubble and mess. "W-where are they?" I ask, scared to find something I didn't want to find.

  "There." Granny pointed at something moving behind the broken staircase.

  "Look mom! I found the picture of dad." A voice yelled. I walked over to the staircase to see who it was. In front of me was my very handsome cousin. Long dark brown hair with blonde highlights, yellow eyes, and he was wearing white skinny jeans with a black shirt that said "My Ears Bleed For Wubs." "Sebby," I yelled to him. His head turns to me and his face quickly gleams and he smiles. He carefully walks over everything and stands in front of me. "Hey," He smiles with his teeth and looks behind me. "Who are they?" he points at behind me and look to what. "Those are my friends; Edaniel, Blake, and of course Verande." They all waved when they noticed we were looking at them. We waved back. "So Sebastian, why are you and Auntie looking for stuff in the dark?" I ask.

  He looks at me, then at the ground. "Well uh," He looks over at granny who's finally getting out of the car. "Granny! Am I allowed to tell her yet?" Granny stands silent for a while, like if she's thinking whether or not he should. Eventually she nods though. I look at Sebastian who's taking in a deep breath. "I'm a werewolf!" he yells. I stare at him blankly. "Really?" I laugh. "This is what you were hiding ever since you little? Well guess what? I'm a hybride!" He looks back at me and has an "O" face. "I thought the werewolf genes passed your generation... I guess not." He whispered.

  Someone taps my shoulder and I see Blake, with Edaniel and Verande behind him. "Hey guys..." I greet. "Maybe we should help my guy bestie/cousin with his stuff?!"

  They all looked at me, and all said "Sure!"

  "Okay! So, Sebastian is that alright?" I ask as I turn to look at my cousin.

  "Uh, yeah. Sure." He replies.

  It was hours since we found a few things and I was finally my break. I mean I was feeling really tired because it was probably like 1 in the morning already, but it was all for Sebby. *sigh* I found a picture of Sebby when he was a baby, an old toy, some more pictures, and a few other things. My body was just aching like crazy now though. I look over at everyone who's still looking. Verande looked tired, Blake looked only slightly tired, and Edaniel didn't look tired at all. I sighed again to myself. Maybe I'm just not used to myself yet. 'Hey. Curt? Clare? Are you there?" I ask my wolves. 'Yes.' They reply in unison.

  I smile to myself. "Come outside please." I say out loud. Just like always smoke appeared but instead of them coming in the usual cool fashion, they came out tired and sad looking. "What's wrong?" I ask them.

  "You don't pay attention to us," Curt says.

  "And because of that we are losing our powers in being able to be of help to you." Clare finishes off.

  "I-I... I'm so sorry." I whisper. "I didn't know that... What can I do to help you out?"

  "Well," Curt starts. "Do you remember when I first introduced myself to you?"

  "Yes?" I reply.

  "Well, when we did I told you that just a simple touch from you could help... but since we're in terrible condition we need more than just a slight touch..." he replies.

  "Oh, and what kind of touch would you need then?" I asked nervously.

Curt was going to start talking but Clare stepped in front of him and replied with something else. "Curt does not know of how this works completely so I'll be continuing on for him." She says. "The process is different for every wolf Charlotte. For the Royale Blood wolves, we need a gesture that was used centuries ago. A kiss on the tip of our toe..." She stopped and blushed.
