Catherin put her hand on my shoulder trying to bring me back from my reverie. Tears were streaming down the young woman's face and her body was shaking. "Mat? Come on dear, come back to me" shaking my shoulder lightly, with a worried look in her eyes and panic on her face. I jumped up from the couch shaking my head to get rid of all the bad memories, taking the handkerchief from Catherin and drying my eyes. "S..sorry" I stammered looking at the older woman standing next to me, hoping to not seem weak for crying in front of her even thou it wasn't by choice and I didn't even realise it till I came out of my thoughts. "Oh my dear you don't need to apologise, I am the one who is sorry for bringing back the bad memories for you". Catherin hugged me softly and then took my hand and led me back to the couch. It was time to get the truth of my past , as well as the truth about my mother and grandparents. She just hoped the truth won't be the young woman's breaking point.

 Clearing her throat Catherin took my hand to get my attention. "It's time you learned the truth my dear, but please keep an open mind to what I am about to tell you and please don't freak out" I looked at her and nodded my head, not liking where this seems to be going. Catherine seemed very nervous about revealing the truth to me, "Remember I told you that werewolf's and dragons was part of our history and ancestor's?" Looking at her I shook my head yes and waited for the older woman to continue, why was she talking about things that don't exist? I wondered to myself. "Well first of they are real, they do exist" Catherin told me as if reading my mind, looking at me from underneath her eyelashes, waiting for my reaction. I started to laugh then and got up again turning to look at the crazy woman sitting on the couch, but I saw that Catherin wasn't laughing and looked at me seriously. "Wait... WHAT!!? I almost shouted, "You want me to believe that all the things I read about in books and saw on TV was real?" This woman was crazier than I thought. 

"Well, yes because they are real and I can proof it to you" Catherin shocked me again and got up from the couch. A young man who looked to be eighteen years old came into the room then, standing next to Godfrey who had a bemused look on his face. Catherin knew I was going to react his way so she asked the young man earlier to come and help her. I looked from the boy to Catherin with my head tilted to one side. "Okay, fine then proof it to me" I said and crossed my arms over my chest waiting for them to continue. Catherin nodded to the young man; he then started removing his clothes and stood in front of them with only his underpants on, looking very uncomfortable being almost completely naked. . I almost started laughing again when the boy fell to the ground and his body started to change. With eyes wide I watched in horror as the young man's body turned into something else. 

The sound of bones cracking made my stomach turn, in a few minutes the young man turned into a light brown wolf, he was bigger than a normal wolf but something was telling me that he wasn't going to be the biggest one. He was looking at me shyly and sat down with a huff; he then lay down on his stomach and crawled slowly to me. I gave a step back from him and he stopped for a few seconds then made a whimpering sound and crawled towards me again. Not moving and when he got to my feet he nudged my hand with its snout. Patting his head, before it all became too much and then I crumbled to the ground and blacked out. These days I seemed to faint way to many times and if I wasn't currently wrapped in darkness I would be worried about my health....
