"Ryan?"

My astonishment left me speechless. How did he get in? I thought I locked my door and my windows. I don't have a chimney...

"Lizz, I'm sorry I intruded your apartment, but I had to speak with you. It's important."

I huffed. "Well, obviously. Otherwise, you'd be home right now editing a video until four in the morning." I rolled and fell off the sofa, thumping as I hit the floor, a small oof escaping my lips.

Ryan chuckled but tried badly to hide it. "Yeah, but we need to talk. Can you come with me for a moment?"

I sighed. "Ryan, can't this wait until morning? My eyelids refuse to stay open." I pushed myself off the floor in a tired manner to prove my point. "I need my sleep. Besides, it's been a long day for me. Cut me some slack, alright?"

"But we need to talk to you."

I freeze. No way.

That voice... Why's he here?

I turned to see a man standing in the doorway to my kitchen.

"Will?"

He smiled. "Hey, Lizz. Long time, no see."

I wasn't expecting to see him so soon. My heart begins to race as he walks toward me and Ryan.

"W-wha... How did you...?", I stutter, pointing at Will, then Ryan, and back at Will. "Can someone explain to me how you got in without breaking windows?" I took a step back and slammed into something unexpectedly.

No... Some one.

I turned quickly to see a familiar, bearded face.

"Rhys?!"

He chuckles. "Hi, Miss Dawkins." He walks around me and stands next to Ryan and Will.

"Okay, now I'm confused. How are all three of you in my apartment?", I sputtered. Muttering, I say, "did I leave a key somewhere without knowing?"

The guys look at each other, uncertainty shone as clear as day.

"We... don't have long, Lizz", Ryan said. "Now is the best time to talk."

I sigh. "Alright, but we can't take a long time. I have work tomorrow so I need to sleep soon."

I gestured for them to sit down, but they remained standing, arms crossed across their chests. Will looks at the floor, face showing a tiny sign of pink in the cheeks.

There was an uncanny silence for a solid three minutes before Ryan blurt out, "Werewolves."

I was mid-bite into my Slim Jim. "Excuse me?"

"Werewolves", Ryes said, averting his eyes away from mine. "We're werewolves."

Will starts scratching his head vigorously, acting like he doesn't want to speak. This is where I wish I had my waist-length hair, so I could slap him with it like I usually did. He hated that.

"Were... wolves?", I stutter. Suddenly, I burst out laughing and drop my Slim Jim on the floor, holding my stomach. "You guys are hilarious! This was Lewis's doing, wasn't it?" I start to stand, still chuckling. "Alright, joke's over guys. You can leave now."

"Elizabeth."

The darkness in Will's voice stopped me entirely.

"Ryan and Ryes aren't joking around. Why do you think scars constantly appear on us?"

"No u", Ryan muttered. Will punches him hard in the jaw and he falls. "Ow!"

Will rolls his eyes and turns back to me, who is still shocked. "So you see", he says. "We came to tell you that you can't go to work tomorrow."

I cross my arms. "You got up in the middle of the night just to walk-"

"Run."

"-run a half hour's worth of distance just to tell me that? Wow, what a true waste of time." I sigh and shove past them, walking into the kitchen. "I'll pack you guys some bags of food for the trip back."

Rhys stops me by putting a hand on the countertop. "Lizz, we can't leave tonight. We have to stay here."

I look at him. "Stay? No, no way. I can't have three men staying at my apartment."

"But you know who we are. We're not strangers."

My eye twitches in annoyance. "Still. You guys always create a ruckus whenever you're together and I need my sleep for tomorrow."

"You're not leaving, we've already discussed this." Ryan walks into the kitchen and heads for the freezer. "It's not safe for you to leave."

"'Not safe'? Okay, what's going on? What is it with this werewolf, not safe crap? You not telling me means you're digging your own grave." I turn to Will. "Come with me."

I grab his wrist and lead him to my front door. Opening it, I shove him outside and close the door behind me, turning to him.

"Explain."
