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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc1tSizIjn
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwVPNTCtGG
Or so, I thought.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoUQ12no0j
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WWM1RdPoo
The bell rang a second time, interrupting my thoughts.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h1mF4G4xc
"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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsm5sCuIah
"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."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37NjKREE9t
I stared at him for a minute, strangely captivated and then, snapped out of my trance.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ls7ejo5rZ
"I don't need protection," I practically growled. "There's nothing endangering me."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSMmW2Yfl2
"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." 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rWBb9kaF2
That caught my attention, forcing me to turn around.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1BIuatIBD
"Tell me," I demanded. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KqieLNTQ3
"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."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfmxTuLFUv
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?804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUpMr0PV5C
"Fine," I answered. "I'll let you defend me, as long as you tell me everything you know."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLbAC5j2jU
"Give me your word."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCFOe23TZd
"I give you my word, you have the right to protect me," I promised. "Now tell me the truth."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfL6PxHgCX
He smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR0jzatBND
"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."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokwDbYl5x2
"But-"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vJ467JuH7
"Time for introductions," he interrupted, grinning. "I'm West Grayson- your brother. What about you, little sister?"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5yQJHoiu2
"I'm Weslyn Grayson," I responded drily. As if he didn't already know that.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvcUqp19fG
"Now its your turn to ask a question."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4xAjcA4qw
"What happened to my parents?" I demanded. "How am I related to Gray Valley? Why am I connected to you?"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdGO1UHDC2
"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...804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ft9CiA7PE
"My name is not Wes," I gritted out. "Either tell me what you know, or I'll leave."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77vpu1e8H6
"I'd love to see you try," he smirked. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOJdG9EvWL
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Aj8KvrReP
"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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJjEh55L2u
"How?"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuXkXjhxsg
"Mysterious, isn't it?" he chuckled. "Actually, when you think about it, it's quite unbelievable."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKjscITwFd
"But, how?" I repeated, my eyes wide with shock. "How does it work?"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY69kaSe0U
"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."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJjlpyReML
"Really?" I couldn't believe he was that easily; I barely even tried. "Just like that?"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2nxkbtVe6
"Just like that," he confirmed. "First of all, Wes, why do you think I teach Lycanthropy at a local high school?"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfMwB3SJTA
"In the name of Luna," I sighed, exasperated. "You're meant to be giving me answered, not more questions."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2LqyV9ZRk
"Trust me, Weslyn. Think about it. Try to remember. Find the answer to this and you'll automatically get all your answers."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ns3FSbR1
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjxEk0Znyg
Familiar images flashed by, leaving no trace: deadly silence, tormenting children, lonely nights, endless gloom, insignificant events. And then I saw it...804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ384fheYgvx
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. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aA4eBybUn
The truth was agonising.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3TlLNfDU7
"Werewolves," I murmured. "They don't exist." He smiled slightly.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJntMCUYV7
"Don't pretend you didn't see that memory, Wes."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRGHjeVjek
"No its not true," I snapped. "There's no such thing as werewolves!"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPD7EjuA01
"Isn't there?"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d44Imdnpu
"For the love of Luna! They don't exist!"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8W2xtIY40
"Don't lie, Weslyn Grayson," he hissed. "You remember, don't you? Seeing your reflection in the lake..."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg79I7M3B1
"That's not true!" I yelled. "I'm not a... I can't be a..."804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD7Nbgq7cf
"On the contrary, that's exactly what you are," he smirked. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Yec5n9oE
No. I couldn't accept that the monster I saw... it couldn't be. It just couldn't.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeECSdDH0V3
"Weslyn Grayson, you are a Werewolf."
