It's been two days since I step outside. I didn't even go to school. I told dad that I was sick but the truth was something else. I cannot forget what happened that night. Jasper and  Shelly both tried to call me and messaged me several times but I ignored them. I only speak to Ambrose, I lied him too. After that night I have not seen Theodore either. I lost all my hopes and dreams. I am just a monster. Now whenever I talk to dad I recall that I have to kill him, no I will never do that. But is there any other way? Theodore told me that he will find something, right now I am trusting him. I cannot hide from my problems, I have to go to school again and talk to people. Anyway, I cannot skip school for many days or they will decrease my grades. I found out that Blue Moon is after ten days, I am really scared. I thought I was strong but I guess I am not. If I loose my humanity and turned into a complete beast then I would love to die before hurting anyone. I think, Ethan should have killed me. Maybe I should end my life right now.

"Don't, if you are thinking to end your life" I heard Theo's voice. He was sitting on the edge of my bed.

"How did you enter my room?" I asked. I was kinda happy to see him though I should be angry on him for several reasons.

"Window" he said, raising his left eyebrow. I look at my window, which was wide open. But it's second floor! Oh yeah werewolf power. It's not at all creepy.

"Give me a reason to be alive. If I am dangerous then shouldn't you be killing me? Is this because of the mate thing?" I asked. I know he is not hurting me because I am his mate. Why there is something called mate? I wish I could stopped whatever I feel about him but I can't. The less I try to feel, the more I get attracted towards him. He get up and walked towards me. His face was inch away from mine. I wanted to kiss him so bad but I resisted.

"Do you know that you are a miracle? Hybrids were never allowed to have a mate. You are the first one, think yourself special" he said. We were staring into each other's eyes. I don't know if I should feel happy about it or sad. Maybe I was born to cause destruction.

"Yeah special or cursed, either way I am fucked up" I said jokingly. He laughed. He said nothing for a moment then lowered his head to nuzzle my cheek. Oh god I wanted to put my fucking lips on his. I moved back, he was too close. He cleared his throat. I can't do it, I think it's wrong.

"We find out that there is a witch in the next town, she is practically ancient. Her name is Zakira. I think she can help us" he said. That's great, she might know something. But next town? It will be difficult to go that far without dad knowing about it. Theo walked towards my bookshelf and stare at my collection of books. I never believed Witches or Werewolves to be real but here I am, being one myself. When I was little, dad used to read me, the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood', I was so scared of the big bad wolf. My mom was always busy with her works so we used to speak less, we were never that much close. So, after my mom died, I became more attentive and caring towards dad. I will do anything to stop myself before I hurt him.

"But there is a catch. She don't do anything for free, she will ask for something in return" said Theodore. I knew Witches are scary and selfish, stories and movies are always right. I hope she doesn't ask anything disturbing.

"We will go tomorrow then" I said. I don't want to waste any time. Let's see what the witch can do? Theo didn't had a problem and agreed with me.

"Hey, you never told me, what you did with Ethan? Did you kill him?" I asked. I am hundred percent sure they killed him. I feel sorry but also kinda happy about it. What he did was really bad. He hurt Kim and killed Natalie. No one could ever forgive him for that. I mean they were innocent. Theodore nod his head.

"But there are more like him and you have to be careful" he said and sighed. Theo was busy staring at a photo, of me and my dad standing and laughing together. The picture was clicked when we went on a hiking trip. I realized that I never asked him about his family. Does he have anyone, who care about him?

"Do you have a family?" I asked curiously.

"My pack is my family, we look after each other and care for each other" he said. That's good that they get along with each other. I walked over to him and stood beside him.

"So what happened to hybrids before me? They didn't make it, right?" I asked. He stare at me with twinkling eyes.

"They were alone and unknown about their power but you got us, it will be different for you" he said with a warm smile. I hope so.

"Do you mean, I got you?" I said sarcastically. Suddenly I heard footsteps. I stare out the window and saw dad's car outside.

"Oh shit my dad is here, I don't want him to see you with me" I said. He will definitely tease me the whole year about this and moreover he will dream of me getting married.

"I am sorry, I hope you don't mind. We can talk later" I said. I felt sad for telling him like that. I wish he could stay little bit more.

"We can talk during our little road trip" he said and wink. I smiled, yeah a scary road trip. He slowly walk closer to me, lower his head and put a kiss on my forehead. Then he left. I felt my cheeks turned red. For a second I thought he was going to kiss me on my lips. Cold chilly wind was blowing outside. I settle down on my bed. There was a knock on the door. "Come in" I said. Dad get in with a bright smile, holding McDonald's plastic bag. I laughed.

"Whose hungry? Obviously me and you" said dad. I took the bag and open it. He had brought burgers and fries for me. I took a bite out of the fries dipped in tomato sauce. It was delicious.

"Why didn't you close the window? It's cold outside, you should take care of yourself properly" said dad. I just nod my head. He still believes my lies, well I am not actually sick but he thinks that I am. I needed to avoid school and that was the only way I could, so I had to lie.
