The Wolf Girl

Epilogue

I know I said the other chapte was the last but I changed my mind and realised this was necessary. Enjoy my wild thoughts.

---------------------------------------

All is right. 

Finally, finally, things are looking up. Mal and Ben are living their happily ever after, Evie and Doug are exploring their connection, Carlos is crushing madly on Jane and Jay well, he's flirting with half the girls in school. Everybody seems happy.

I smile to myself and turn over, staring at the beautifully wrapped gift from Dizzie. It's probably not a suprise that wrapping paper is simply unheard of on the Isle, but the bright patchwork of old tissue and fabric scraps seems more personal. I close my eyes as a few tears well up at the thought of my little sister working away to create such a covering. I wonder what it could contain.

I know little about my birth. I don't know my father, if he left before or after I was born, or if he was simply a one time mistake -which seems most probable. 

However I do know a couple of things. My birthday is tomorrow. I was born at midnight exactly. And I was born on a full moon.

I shut my eyes and drift off to sleep, forgetting my sob story and wonderings.

-TIME-SKIP-

My eyes open suddenly. I'm instantly incredibly aware of the pounding in my head. As I gasp in the darkness clutching my head, the pain spreads like fire, tendrils of agony licking my limbs. Soon my whole body is alight with it. I stumble out of bed in a panic, I need help, that I know. But... whose? I limp out of the door and without really thinking begin to half walk, half drag myself along the winding corridors until I reach the Fairy Godmother's room. I knock the wood feebly and practically collapse at her feet when she opens.

"Oh my goodness dear, whatever's the matter?" She gasps anxiety clear in her distressed features. I can only manage a weak groan, the words sounding like a scream. 

"I-it... h-h-hurts..." I manage to whisper, using every ounce of energy to do so.

I become dimly aware of the other four VKs rushing towards.

"Boys, carry her in carefully please and lay her on the couch" the Fairy Godmother requests, still obviously shaken but attempting to control herself. 

As they do so she questions the girls about what could have caused this.

"Did she get food poisoning?" Evie asks frightened and worried "But she ate the same as us and we're fine" 

"Wait... could it be a curse? She turned 16 at midnight and it seemed to start then" Mal asks biting her nail in worry.

"Did she have any enemies on the Isle? Anyone who would do such a thing?" The Fairy Godmother asks

"Well, Harry Hook and her didn't get along too well but... I don't think he would do this" Mal replies

"Could it be to do with her father?" Evie suddenly suggests. "After all even she doesn't know who he was" 

"Well there's a simple way to find out" The Fairy Godmother states firmly "I don't want to intrude on her privacy but when the safety of my student is at stake..."

She turns and exits the room leaving the anxious four to their own worries. 

Wand in hand she appears out of nowhere.

"Right let's begin" She waves her wand over Catherine, mumbles a few uniteligable words and then gasps. "H-her father... is the Wolf"

Four blank faces gaze at her.

"Wait like red riding hoods Wolf?" Carlos suddenly questions

"Yes" the Fairy Godmother replies, still shaken. "Well this explains quite a lot. You needn't worry dears, tonight she comes of age and the charm placed on her to supress her wolf side is no longer strong enough." 

"Well that explains why she's in so much pain" Evie observes still upset "I mean her whole being to changing, even her DNA" 

The Fairy Godmother nods encouragingly. "I hope she will be better before morning, but you must rest. You needn't fear I shall stay with her." She soothes them as she gently shoos the group out and closes the door behind them.

-TIME-SKIP-

The sunlight streams in and gentle stirs me from my deep slumber. All my joints ache but... my body just... feels... different... I feel different, like I could run a mile or climb a mountain or eat a whole canteen worth of food. I'm really hungry. I sit up and rub my eyes before jumping in surprise, where am I?! This isn't the dorm! My eyes fly open and I whip my head from side to side as I take in the room. It's huge but simply decorated with a chair pulled close to the couch I lie on, the Fairy Godmother dozing in it. Wait, the Fairy Godmother? I rub my head as I remember the events of last night, I must have passed out after I knocked on the door. Even as I stand she wakes at looks at me with concern.

"How are you feeling now dear?" The question is warm and full of concern but I blink in confusion because her voice seems louder than usual.

"I-I don't really know" I realise in shock "Weird... and different" 

She nods sympatheticly "We have a lot to discuss"

-TIME-SKIP-

I stumble out of the room my head buzzing. After a lengthy discussion filled with revelations, I have come to terms with what has happened. My whole life suddenly seems to jump into focus details I hadn't noticed or had dismissed suddenly make sense. The birds. Talking to animals. Loving wolves. Unnaturally good running, hearing and sight. Everything.

I make my way down the corridor slowly. Just when I thought life was making sense. I smile ruefully as I catch a glimpse of my friends, I have a whole lot of explaining to do.

---THE--END---(for real this time)---

Wow guys... it's over. I have done it! I finished a book, Yay! This has been a journey, but i'm not quite done yet. I have a book 2 in the works and once Descendants 3 come out probably a book 3. Thank you to all those who supported me. I hope you enjoyed this product of my wild imagination.
