you'll regret rejecting me

finding out what you are (part2)

My dad gave one final look at my mom before he started to speak again.

"Sorcha, I'm afraid that we've been lying to you, you remember all those nights and days that me and your mother weren't home? Well you see we were at pack meetings or hunting rouges that were on the land. You know your old friends? Well they are werewolves too." He pauses for a minute so I can take all the new information in, then I look at them with confusion. "Whats a pack? And a rouge? Do they already know what they are? Do they know that I'm one as well? If they are all werewolves and I'm one why are you only telling me all this now, why not sooner? Why are you only telling me this NOW?" I ask with my voice rising with each question.

They share another look, this is really starting to annoy me. That's it, I grab the book that was beside me and slam it down on the locker, mom and dad jump up and get into what looks like a protective stance, I would have laughed if I wasn't so annoyed with them. When they realize it was just me that made the noise, they give me a look and open their mouths as if to scold me but I beat them to it. "Stop looking at each other and answer my bloody questions, this isn't fair to me, telling me only half of the stuff and not telling me the other half, now get over yourselves and tell me or I'm leaving and calling one of the lads." I shout at them. They don't look surprised at my outburst, they shouldn't, they know that I cant stand this sort of bullshit and that they have to stop stalling. They give each other one last look, I roll my eyes and am about to leave when my dad sighs for what seems like the hundredth time that night and turns to look at me with regret in his green eyes. "Your right Sorcha, we're sorry, we'll tell you what you want to know."

My mother starts off by answering the questions that I had already asked, except the one I really want to know. "A pack is a group of werewolves, sort of like a family, Richard's dad is the alpha-" "Whats an alpha" I ask, interrupting her, "Its the person in control of the pack, one of the most important and respected people in the pack, the alpha gene is passed down from generation to generation, then you have the beta who is the second in command who was Bredan's dad, and then the third in command who was Seamus's dad." A rouge is a werewolf that doesn't have a pack, they are kicked out or leave the pack, some let their wolf take over completely, most rouges are very dangerous. Your friends already know what they are and your one too, they've always known. " She says, whispering the last part. Hurt and betrayal are the only things that cross my mind when she says that. "why didn't you tell me?" i ask them blinking back the tears that start to form. they look at me with sadness in their eyes. "There's a reason we didn't tell you, Sorcha, you have to believe that, we would have told you sooner if we could" my dad says pleadingly. "So tell me, what was so important that you had to lie to me my entire life, that you couldn't tell me who I really am, what was it?" i say in a voice so cold that they flinch at the tone. "we were going to tell you when you were supposed to shift on your tenth birthday but you didn't. We were so worried that there was something wrong, do you remember that day in school three years ago when a wolf attacked Richard and you?" just hearing them mention that day made the scars that covered my shoulder and back burn with the memory. "It was a rouge, wasn't it" I say more than ask, already knowing the answer so it doesn't surprise me when they both nod. "Why did it attack us?" my voice filled with confusion. "He wasn't attacking you, he was attacking Richard, he also knew you couldn't shift so that's why he attacked when he did, because he thought it would be easy, he was wrong though." I let out a chuckle at that part and dad continues explaining "werewolves are much stronger than humans so imagine our surprise when we hear you nearly kill a rouge by yourself, not knowing that your a werewolf and in your human form, we were so proud of you and the fact that you healed so quick so we knew the gene hadn't skipped you." i smile at this but realise that they still havn't answered my question "Why didn't you tell me? Answer me this time."

"You were cursed when you were born, there was some old prophesy about you in an old grim ware, the witches didn't like it so they cursed you so that you'll never be able to shift, but since she was interrupted before she finished the spell we thought it didn't work but then you never showed the signs of lycanthropy so....." i look down to my lap. "So it half worked" I finish off my mothers sentence. "We didn't tell you sooner because we didn't want you to feel like you were left out or that there was something wrong with you." I raise my head to them nodding though I'm still confused. "Why are you telling me this now and not sooner though?" "We think it's about time since we'll be joining the pack here and the fact that everyone here is a werewolf." my dad explains while i look at him as if he just lost his mind, "so you make me move away from my home where i had friends who accepted me and the fact that i couldn't shift and where i had human friends to a place that was FULL of werewolves, don't know that i could take down a rouge and will look at me as if I'm a freak? Because that makes complete and utter sense now doesn't it?" I ask with sarcasm dripping from every word at the end.they stay silent after this. I get up from my bed, grab my phone and run out of the house into the woods. I run for about five minutes longer before i reach a clearing and sit down with my back against a tree. I take my mobile out of my pocket and dial a familiar number. They pick up after half a ring as they always do.

"They finally told you didn't they?" I hear his voice say. "Ya they did, how'd you know?" i say with a small smile gracing my lips. A chuckle is heard from the other side of the line, "I know everything remember?" We talk for a while longer before its time for us to say goodbye. "Goodnight Sorcha, love you" "Night Seamus, lov-----" I'm cut off with a sharp pain going up my back. I can hear him calling someone on the other end and hear him say "it's finally happening" and someone say "you'll be okay" before i finally black out.
