I pulled into my driveway. It was a dark, eerie night, especially since all the weird things happening. Those changing faces… did anyone else see? I don't really think so… I think I'm just going crazy. Oh, and that call we got today, what could maul a university student the shreds like that?

I turned off the car stepped out, looking at the dark house. The only light that was on was the porch light. In the distance, I could hear some dogs barking. Suddenly, the dog whined and the barking stops. I turned to see if there was a dogfight nearby, but I didn't see anything, so I started to walk up to the house.

When I got to the door it was unlocked, and I pushed it opened, only to be greeted by a loud creek. I closed the door behind me. It was very cold this night, I could see my breathe.

"Juliette." I called out as walked slowly into the dark freezing house. I looked ahead and saw a warm glow coming from the kitchen and walked forward, slowly peeking in the room, only to find Aunt Marie in a brown sweater and lighter brown flowery skirt. Beside her was cousin Ash in skinny jeans and long sleeve black shirt. The only family I have left, though it was an unexpected show.

They were cutting some food, Ash's long brown hair tucked behind her ears, to keep it from falling in the food. The two obviously noticed my presence and turned too looked and me. Four blue boring holes in mine. It may have been an unexpected show but I was quite happy.

"Aunt Marie, Cousin Ash." I said a small smile forming on my face. They smiled back up at me. "When did you two get here?" I asked walking over to the table and taking off my coat.

"Hey, they were here when I got home." Juliette said from behind me hold a bottle of wine, and sat it down on the counter top.

"Sorry for the short notice." Aunt Marie said in a calm voice, smile never leaving her face.

"What? You didn't know they were coming?"

"We meant to call" Ash said in her normal happy tone. Hearing her bubbly voice made me smile, but I was concerned.

"So how are things for you?" I asked

"Not as okay as I used to be." Aunt Marie replied.

"They were telling me some pretty funny stories about when you and Ash were little." Juliette chimed in. I smirked as the stories coming to mind.

"Dead frog in the microwave?" I asked.

"Among others" she added with a grin on her face.

"They were some pretty good times." Ash smiled some more. I had to agree with her one that one.

"Come and give us a hug." Aunt Marie said standing up. I gave Ash a hug the Aunt Marie one. She then whispered something in my ear, which really confused. "We need to talk." I pulled back and gave her a confused look. She gave me a knowing look but I agreed.

We grabbed our coats and headed outside, walking down the sidewalk. In that period, we talked about some things that upset me a bit. Aunt Marie's life span. The cancer was getting to her pretty bad. They also told me that they had a lot to tell me, but could not come sooner.

That is when we started talking about my family and things I didn't know. They started asking me about things I've been seeing. I had no Idea how they knew but they did. Things about how it knocked Ash and Aunt Marie on their asses. 'The misfortune of our family is passing to you.'

"I know you love Juliette but you must end it and never see her again." that's when I got pretty upset. They weren't fully explaining and now the tell me to leave my soon to be fiancé? "It's just too dangerous." I was speechless and all I could utter out was a what. Aunt Marie looked a bit distracted. "Oh my God." she gasped. What was going on?

"Who?" I asked turning around. I heard metal against metal as Aunt Marie pulled a small knife out and Ash got into a fighting stance.

"Hulda." she whispered. There was roaring and creature came out of nowhere. It was green and had a scaly face. Before I knew it, the three were in battle, throwing punches and stabbing. What shocked me was that Ash transformed. Ash's eyes changed to a dark brown and cat/dog like brown ears slowly came out. From her panting, I could see to small fangs in her mouth. And a brown tail swooshed behind he

I was very surprised and angry when he slammed Aunt Marie on the ground. Ash growled and I shot it a few times. It fell to its knees and slowly transformed beside me back into human. Ash did the same and we ran over to Aunt Marie.
