I was his sister. I didn't even consider it as a possibility before, but the second he said it; I felt it. A sense of safety; familiarity overwhelming me completely. He was my blood. I could sense it perfectly.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIMkFhbmSj
All my life, I had spent isolated. I was different from the others; an outsider. My mother was often reserved and difficult to talk to. At these times I yearned for a real family: a father, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. But I had none.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPODM0WEPPr
Or so, I thought.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1EHFFutlc
This was ridiculous. There was no way I had a brother my mother had never told me about. If it was something this important, I would've known.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC8KJVaG6X
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJddNOAXelk
"You're a liar," I hissed, shoving him away with all my strength. He stumbled back and grabbed onto the table end with fast reflex.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gwt8X6MDl
"Wait, Weslyn," he called. I found myself freeze, despite how much I wanted to defy him. "I will protect you from others if you stay but if you leave now, that's the end of our family tie. I will never defend you from danger, even when you need it the most."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7zFwYZxD0
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzh5ifSFZ2
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfrzjAXFa0
"Ah, but there is," Mr Grayson objected. Rolling my eyes, I stepped out of the room. "But you'll only find out if you know the truth." 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHm0av2O6m
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaemPNHzwu6
"Tell me," I demanded. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdISl166De
"No," he said firmly. "Once you know the truth, so will the threat. You need to give me your word that you'll stay by me and allow yourself to be protected."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8emOcnlCP7
My whole life was a lie, I knew nothing of my past and I was possibly being stalked by some danger. Letting someone protect me didn't sound risky at all. In fact, if anything it was the opposite. Besides, I might have even gotten answers. What did I have to lose?514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1qTMmoRPZ
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8eXStv9fb
"Give me your word."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDeWRhet4g
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQPVZEvkk8
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW6InZYuCi
"Calm it, sister," he sounded amused. "This is the first time I'm seeing you in 8 years and you don't even remember me. Maybe we can slow down a bit."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jg6Ddp31Z
"But-"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XYxonw2pB
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ8Op8yxL1
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Ex9b8kp9
"Now its your turn to ask a question."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPsDAmatgM
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIWxQTP6lo
"Whoa, didn't I just say we were getting to know each other, Wes?" he raised a single brow at me. "Besides, that was a lot more than one question." For the love of Luna...514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ppzI6p0Qc
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL3FmEpGDR
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jHIsX1GOJ
I turned to leave but felt my own body pull me back from moving. No matter how hard I fought the urge to stay, I couldn't step out of the room.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAmAMKXYVp
"You see, Wes," he explained. "Us Graysons; we're true to our word... we physically can't act against our promises." I stared at doorway with disbelief.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6SvzadPrp
"How?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P6Ei3uxGw
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSbBdU5PRR
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMZ1K3SXuL
"You really want to know, don't you?" he asked. I glared up him and he looked back, reflecting the intensity in my eyes. "Then I'll have to tell you."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGhmKabvae
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEMf4v78Sv
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUcPzdd4w9
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzoTaPxzf3
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlopjyN3r7
I sank to my knees and squeezed the sides of my head with my palms. Luna, please help me. With that I stretched my memory, thinking of everything I could ever remember.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0tPyBAlml
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqUEnp4JK3
The reflection of a beast in the form of a wolf, it's familiar eyes gleaming in the light of the full moon. I knew who it was without apprehension, but it was impossible to accept it. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD4oexSanK
The truth was agonising.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYOs2dAEJK
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHCXk091yO
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEbMSWGFW6
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZAieXlmZ0
"Isn't there?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4v06CoOAf
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGj1FROvuP
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8LR1Sk2xR
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRIUOH8jtJ
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj53671RYv
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cdCMEEHKM
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
