"Ruby, let me ask you again where these scars came from," The man asked me again, about the scars covering the little girl's body.
"Even If I told the truth you wouldn't believe me," I tell him.
"I have seen a lot in my lifetime, try me," he told me
I sighed, "The stories we told you about how the five of us ended up together is fake."
"Really?" he asked sarcastically. "Why wouldn't I believe that?"
"Doctor what's your name?"
"Jacob. Why?"
"Jacob if I tell you this next thing, will you keep it between us?"
"Providing it's not illegal." he laughed a little
"I am not traditionally human." as the last word fell out his smile automatically flattened.
"So what are you?"
"I'm a- we are shifters."
"Ok, just come with me and we can go upstairs." he stood up and grabbed my shoulder.
"See you don't believe me." I quickly shifted.
"Holy Shit," he said and I quickly shifted back.
"You really can't tell anyone else I just needed someone to look out for her." I grabbed his hand pleading with him.
"Don't worry, I will take care of her. Go back to your siblings."
"Thank you." I stood up and walked back to my pack.
"Where did you go?" Lucy shot up from where she was laying on Apollo.
"Hows Meadow?" Apollo asked
"A doctor had questions. Meadow is still alive but I don't know."
"Ruby," Jacob said from down the hall. "Thank you for telling me the truth."
"Which truth?" Apollo asked.
"The real one. I trust him." (ODP:12/8/17)
