The taxi pulls up into the driveway of a giant house. "WE'RE HERE!" Tani screams into my ear. I flinch against the sound and unbuckle my seatbelt before launching my body out the car.
Tani pays the cabby and I walk up the drive way with butterflies in my stomach. Tanika walks up behind me and puts my hand in hers. She squeezes. I squeeze back.
We walk to the door and reach out a hand each and knock at the same time. The door creaks open and a man stands there.
He has grey hair and chocolate eyes. When he sees us a smile lights up his face. "You must be Tanika and Iris! God you've grown". He shakes his head and then holds out his hand.
"Sorry!" he says "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Dr Graden" I take his hand and shake it staring into his eyes.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dr Graden leads us to the living room and sits on a couch. He gestures to the one opposite him and I nervously sit down.
"Would you like a drink?" he asks leaning into the coffee table. "Do you have coffee?" I ask and he picks up a tea pot and pours brown liquid into it.
"Sugar cube?" he asks and I have to stop my self from bursting out laughing. Finnick reference. "Two please" I say and look at Tanika.
"Tea please" she says and Dr Graden makes our drinks. We sit there in awkward silence for a few moments before Dr Graden hands us our drinks.
"So" he says "What do you want to know?". I look at Tanika and she smiles. "Am I a mermaid?" she asks and I can't stop my self from laughing.
Dr Graden laughs. "Kinda... I guess" he says and smiles. "Can I "turn" people?" I ask remembering what Andy wanted my to ask him. "I don't know" Dr Graden says "What do you mean 'turn'?".
"Like when I get my powers or whatever can I turn other people into werewolves?". He laughs and then nods. I pull out my phone and type in Andy's home number.
"Sorry" I say "Andy wanted to know". The phone rings and Andrea picks up. "Hey Rissy" she says. I put the phone on speaker.
"Just calling to inform you that I am sitting in Dr Graden's lounge room and I have been given some very important information" I say. "Ooooooh!" Andy says "What is it?".
"I can turn people" I say "FUCK YES!" Andy screams into the phone. It's silent for a minute. "Sorry Doctor" she says "I have to go". The phone line dies.
"Call me John" Dr Graden says and I nod. He stands up and walks to the doorway. "Come on" he says "I want to show you something"
We stand up and follow him. He walks to a set of stairs that go down and heads down them. We follow. I find myself standing in front of a large metal door.
John punches numbers into a keypad so fast that I don't see anything. "Welcome girls" he says pushing the door open. "To your birthplace". I gasp as I look at the room in front of me.
