I Never Knew

Chapter 3

"Look what dad is trying to say is..is that..we're--" 

"Would you just tell me already! We're- you're WHAT?!" I yelled

My dad sighed before talking again"Well we're werewolf's Camila"

I spit out the orange I had just taken a sip of and I started laughing frantically. I laughed until i couldn't breathe and had tears running down my cheeks. "Ha Good one" I managed to say between laughs.

"This was your idea right Evan"

He narrowed his eyes at me "It's not a joke" he finally said" he got up from the chair and extended his hand out "will you come with me?" I hesitated a before finally taking his hand. He led me to through the sliding doors out to our back yard. "just stay right here" he said. He took a few steps in front of me.

"Evan, what are you doing!?" My dad asked coming out of the house my mom following him.

"I'm going to show her, otherwise she'll never believe us" he responded. Evan took of his shirt "these are my favorite shorts" he said as he began to unbotton his short

"Eww Evan if you brought me out here to give me a striptease that is fucked up and gross!" I said as I turned to walk back into the house.

"Camila, language" my dad said. He grabbed me by the shoulders and turned me to face Evan. "just watch"

"You know what's fucked up?" Evan asked holding his onbottoned shorts by the waist

"Evan, language" This time it was my mom who interupted

What's that?" I asked

"You thinking like that" Evan said kicking his shorts aside. I just rolled my eyes. "Don't freak out ok?" were the last words he said.

I stumbled back but my dad still holding me steadied me. My brother Evan was gone and before me stood a four legged, dark brown almost black furred wolf. He wasn't the same size as other wolfs though, he was much bigger maybe two or three times bigger than those you would see in the woody areas around here. His eyes didnt change color they were Evan's same blue-gray eyes, they were a little more blue though and they had a slight glow. 

I turned to face my dad and whispered "can I..can I..touch..pat..or--" 

My dad laughed a short laugh before answering "yes you can touch or pat him"

"He won't attack me or something?" I asked 

He laughed again "no he won't attack you"

I made my way towards Evan slowly he was staring at me with what I believe was a smile and his tongue hanging out like dogs do. I finally got to him I put my hand on the top of his head and ran it down his fur. It wasn't how i expected, it was soft and sliky smooth he also smelled good he didn't smell like a wet dog. 

"So you weren't lying" i said more to myself. Evan nodded his head.

I turned to my dad and asked "Can he hear and understand me?"

He nodded. I continued to run my hand through Evan's soft fur and after a couple minutes my dad nodded towards Evan "Camila why don't you go inside with your mom while Evan shifts back and changes.

"Shift?" I asked

"It's another word for changing back to human form" I did a one nod and walked back into the kitchen with my mom.
