"What's going on", I asked uncertainly, "Mom? ". Oh Rose", my mom said tears welling up in her eyes, "You're growing up in ways you can't possibly understand". I wonder if this is about my "flowers". "This is going to be a long night", said my twin brother, Jasper, "We have to explain things to her as well as go hunting". Hold up hunting. "What are you talking about", I asked him, "We're not animals are we". "Girl you don't know the half of it", he replied. "Stop teasing your sister", my mom reprimanded him, then turned to me, "We're about to tell you something you, under no circumstances must you freak out". "Ok", I said as I rolled my eyes, she raised one eyebrow, "Ok I mean it". "We're a family of werewolves", I looked at my mom like she just sqwaked like a chicken, "I'm sorry I thought you said we're werewolves". She nodded and that shut me up, "You see your father were part of a pack but they became", she looked at dad, "corrupted", they said together. "But you didn't become a werewolf as soon as you're born", my dad continued, "boys got theirs at fifteen and girls twenty". "Ok but why tell me now", I asked, "Why not wait till I'm twenty". "Believe me we were", my mother said, "But you've already started showing signs of becoming a werewolf", my older brother, Cody, finished. "Since you've started showing these signs there's nothing left to do but to transfer you to a different school", my dad said with finality. The air rushed out of me, change schools I mean I'm an outcast but I'm a known outcast if I transfer I'll be an unknown outcast and that is way worse. "I'm sure that won't be necessary", I said nervously, "I can just hide my powers and you can teach me". "That maybe but the ways in which you'll go full werewolf is dangerous ous to any humans around you", my older brother said, "Think when I turned fifteen I left for 'military school' for 'behavorial issues' where do you think I went". "Fine but what about Jasper", I said pointing at him, "He's not gone". "Yes but he doesn't go to your school does he", my father reasoned. I knew I was defeated. "Let's go hunt", my father decided, "Jasper, Rose you can watch since you don't know how to transform yet".
After we went hunting I packed some things because now that I'm also turning into a werewolf Jasper and I would go live with our aunt till we developed our powers properly.
The school looked massive and stood like it wouldn't mind stepping on me and crushing me. I saw my brother laughing with some boys who looked like they should be on a football team. I saw many girls and realized once again me and my curly black locks would become utter outcasts. "My brother took my hand and led me inside, "Come on let's get inside".
