After I get off the phone from mum, Michael and Ashton both decided it was time to leave. With the others gone, Calum forced me to sit down claiming that all though I was healing I still needed to rest. I really wanted to help but could only sit there as he pulled a mattress out of the garage and dragged it into the lounge room, he disappeared for a moment before returning with a second one. He had just laid it down, when I hear a jingling noise and the sound of a door creaking. I glance at Calum who doesn't seem to be alarmed by it.
"Who's here tonight, Michael or Ashton?" A female voice rings through the corridor, and a few moments later a girl comes around the corner and appears in the doorway on the left side of the room. She looks to be a few years older than us, she has long brown hair that fades into blonde and looks a little bit like Calum, I think they must be related. She glares at me as if I'm an intruder, "Alright this is new, none of the above."
I look over at Calum expectantly. He nods, "Luke, this is my sister Mali." He said as he pointed towards her, "Mali this is Luke."
"Nice to meet you." She smiles courteously before she glances at Calum, "So what do we owe the honour of you having a someone different over here for once?"
"Why do you think?" He asked her, his arms crossed.
Immediately her eyes grew wide, and her brow furrowed, "Cal, you are such an idiot. You better have a good reason for it, what if they find out?" She glares at him, and he doesn't respond. I look uneasily between the two of them, why is his sister reacting like this? She sighs, "Look, whatever, does mum even know?"
"Of course," Calum nods, with a slight shrug. "It's fine, what they don't know isn't going to hurt them."
She lets out a sigh, and shakes her head, "You walk a very fine line. You can't save everyone you know, that right?" Calum seems to flinch, his eyebrows narrow at her, but he doesn't move his mouth. She ignores him and looks at me, "Well not to be rude or anything but I have a ton of work to do. I guess I'll see you around then, Luke."
"Ah, see you." I mutter, slightly relieved that she was leaving from Calum's reaction. She seemed a little intense. She nods at me before walking away, I can still hear her shoes as they click along the floorboards in the corridor. Once she's gone, I look over at Calum, who still looks a little shaken up, "What was that all about? I mean, does she know?"
Calum sighs, "Yeah, both my mum and sister know about us."
"Wait, so does that mean they're like you as well?"
He shook his head, "Nah, it's just the three of us. Oh, and you now I guess."
It was weird to be included in that. It was true, I was going to be a werewolf sometime soon. I closed my eyes, I just wasn't sure that I was ready for it. Ashton had calmed me down about it after what he had said but I still wasn't sure.
"Sorry." Calum said, I opened my eyes to find him staring at me in concern. "I was starting to forget you only found out about this an hour ago. You weren't wrong in thinking that though, I'm not the first one in the family that's had to deal with this. It's been running in my family for generations, I mean the last one was my Grandfather. So, there hasn't been anyone for a while, we could only find out as much as we know from his journals."
I stared at him for a moment. How would it feel to know that about your family? Living with a curse, that no one has had to deal with in your family for that long a time. How long had he had to deal with this? I guess there was a lot more to this werewolf thing than just people turning into wolves.
"Then what about Michael and Ashton?" I ask.
"Same as you." Calum said, "They weren't born into it like I was."
