Sinking

Callum

He grinned at me broadly, showing his perfect teeth. There was something different about him. I need to figure it out. But I also need to figure out why the hell my father would invite him here. Because my father has never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever allowed males older than sixteen into our flat. So why now?

"Coral, meet Callum.

Callum meet Coral."

He stepped forward and gave me a hug. I squirmed. And wriggled out of his grasp. I moved back until I had some ground on him. I was on the second stair.

"Child! This is your brother."

"My what?!"

"I'm your brother, Coral." Says Callum

I now feel really stupid for calling him handsome.

"You told me I had no siblings!!"

"And you believed me."

"You also told me that my mother was dead! Is that a lie too?!"

"No, child."

Callum looked at my father menacingly.

"We have something to tell you."

"What?"

"Well, your a hybrid child and you're being hunted down, so Callum is here to take you to the pack house."

"Pack house?"

"I'm a werewolf, Coral, so is Dad and Mum was a freaky mermaid kind of thing. We're hybrid children and we're in danger."

•-----------------•

"Your things are packed, you're leaving now."says my father

"B-bbbbbut, NO! I can't I'm not leaving!"I yell

"Oh yes you are!"

"No!"

"Coral, it's for your own protection," Callum buts in.

"And besides you get to meet a whole new set of people. Why would you want to stay here anyway?"

"I've lived my whole life here. I-I can't leave it."

"Coral, please." Begs Callum.

I turn and run. Towards the stairs that lead down into the aquarium. I needed to take my mind away from it.

Before I know it, I'm in front of the basement door and then in front of Tank 2. And then in the water. I swim but I can't see anything so I swim towards nothing.

This life is all I've ever known. I'm scared, I've never really met other people, it's always just been me and my dad. No one else. How am I going to survive a whole house of effin werewolves? Worse yet, how can I survive a brother? I've heard all the stories about rogue brothers who go to jail and torture their sisters and other family members. I'm not completely cut off.

I'm sinking.

But it's a good feeling, maybe when I wake up, Callum will have left without me. And life could go back to the way it was. The life I know. The life that's all I've ever known. And hopefully all that I ever will know.

And then, all of a sudden, I felt arms around me and then I blacked out.

This chapter is short I know but I wanted the feel of suspense. I saw this really awesome quote today.

"Good friends are like stars, you don't always know where they are but they are always there."

Bye, Angi out.
