Chapter 3: family secrets.
Kim came down from her room. She was dressed in at sky-blue gown, and matching shoes, and a little purse. Her hair was sat up in a tail, and as she walked down the stairs it swung from side to side.
She stood for a moment in the hall. The door to the living room was closed. She thought it was strange. Normally it was always open, so she walked over to open it. But as she came closer she suddenly heard her father speaking up loud.
"Don't play with me Charles, I was not born yesterday!"
Kim was stunned. She had never heard her father speak like that, he sounded angry!
Kim put her ear to the door and tried to listen in.
Kim's father walked around in circles, he couldn't get himself to a halt right now. The situation made him tens. He stopped and looked at Charles who still was sitting in the chair. The old man was calm and looked back at him with an attentive look in his eyes.
»How can that man be so calm« James thought to himself.
He closed his own eyes for a moment before saying.
"Listen Charles, I know why you are here, so please stop pretending!"
"I am here to see my grandchildren." Charles said calmly.
"NO, you're not!" James almost yelled as he took a step towards the old man, pointed at Charles.
"Ann has told me of what kind of man you really are!"
James looked like a prosecutor who had the final evidence to put a dangerous criminal behind bars.
"It was hard on you that, Ann didn't follow in your foot steps, and you couldn't coup with it, but when you heard that we had gotten Kim, you…"
"JOHN!" Charles said with a powerful voice, he had rose from the chair and now stood tall opposite John.
"John" he said again in a more calm voice.
"what you say it's true, but I'm not like that anymore believe me, it's true that when Ann went of to medic school, I was heartbroken that she didn't choose that same path as I, but I have learned that people has to make their own choices. So John, you have nothing to fear, I will not try to lead your children down my way." With that he sat down in the chair again.
James looked at Charles. His eyes were firm, but still he had crumbled a little when Charles had stood in front of him, he was at least a foot taller then John, and despite his age he was in excellent shape.
"I wish that I could believe that," he said.
"But I have seen the way you look at Kim, I know what is going through your mind!"
Charles looked up at James and said.
"True, I think that she would make an excellent…"
"Well you can forget it!" James said cutting him off.
"I will never let it happen, my daughter shall not be involved with something that dangerous!"
Charles began to giggle under his breath. James looked at the old man as if he had lost his mind, he couldn't see anything funny in the current situation.
"What on earth are you laughing at?" he asked.
"It's.. ha ha…what you just said.. ha ha ha."
Charles gave himself a moment to calm down before he said.
"You said that you never would let your daughter get involved with something dangerous!"
Charles looked at James with a smile.
"It's funny, considering what you let her do!"
James looked at Charles with open mouth. He knew where he was going with this, he wanted to stop it, but he also knew that Charles was right.
"Just tell if I'm wrong, but is traveling far and wide, to battle power-mad scientists, and their plasma power henchmen, a bit dangerous?"
"What Kim does, she has chosen herself!" James said.
"We have not made her!"
Charles nodded. They were both silent for a moment.
Charles cleared his throat before he said.
"You know James, there is actually a reason why I have come…"
"Whatcha doing Kim?"
Kim almost got a heart attack when she heard the voices. She turned and looked at her two little bothers, Jim and Tim.
"Shh, be quiet you two" she looked back at the door.
"There is something up between dad and grandpa."
They all put their ears to the door, but then they hear a voice in their other ear.
"Kim, Jim, Tim!"
They all turned around and saw Mrs. Possible, standing in the doorway to the kitchen.
She looked at the twins.
"you two go to your room!" she said with a strict voice.
And they both were on their way up the stairs, but at the top they stopped and hid themselves so they could listen in on what was happening.
"To your room, I said" Mrs. Possible commanded, and with a synchronous sigh they went to their room.
Kim looked at her mother, her heart still beating after what she had heard in the living room.
"Mom, I…" she began but Mrs. possible cut her off.
"sshh, Kimmie, its nothing, whatever you heard, its nothing. Now your cape has arrived so I think you should be off?" and with that Mrs. Possible lead her Kim out the door.
"What's wrong Kim?" Josh asked with a concerned look.
Kim was just sitting poking to her food, she hadn't eaten much of it. Her mind continued to circle around that conversation she heard between her dad and grandfather. What was it all about? She knew that she had something to do with it, but how?
She looked up at Josh, and smiled.
"It's nothing." She said, and returned to poke at her meal.
"It doesn't seem like nothing!" Josh pushed on.
He reached over the table and took her hand.
"Please, tell me if there is something wrong!"
Kim looked into his marine blue eyes, and she felt all of the things she had felt when she first fell in love with him. She felt she could tell Josh everything. A bond she only had felt between her and Ron, but they were just friends and Josh was… well soon to be ex-boyfriend. But then a thought struck her, maybe they could stay together, even though he was moving to another town, long-distance relationships could work.
"It's just something I heard my grandpa and dad arguing about," she said.
"About what?" Josh asked.
Kim looked and saw that concerned look in his eyes. He cared for her, really deeply.
"It's…. can we talk about it after dinner?" she asked.
"I would like if we could just talk about it alone."
"Sure, whatever you want" Josh said and lot go of her hand, and began finishing his meal.
Kim looked at her own plate. On it there were a nicely done fish, with a potato salad, and a sweet mushroom sauce. She had eat most of the potato salad, only a little of the fish, and tasted the sauce, but still her plate was filled with food.
She didn't have any appetite. What was it that her grandpa thought she would be good at?
After they had left the restaurant, they began to walk towards Middleton Park, where they could sit in peace under the starlit night. When they had seated themselves on a bench, Kim looked at Josh and said.
"As I said; I overheard a conversation between my dad and grandpa, and they were talking about me, and that my grandpa should have had some plans for me!"
Josh's eyes were wide.
"Whoa!" he said.
"Are you sure you heard right?"
Kim nodded.
"Yes, it had something to do with my grandpa's former work!"
"What did he do?"
"He was a private eye detective." Kim answered.
Josh began scratching his chin, as he looked thoughtful at the sky.
"Hey, look!" he said with a smile.
"It's a full moon tonight."
Kim looked up, and yes it was a bright full moon shining down upon them.
They looked back at each other, and then Kim found herself moving closer to Josh, and he did the same. They came close, very close. Their lips were only inches from a kiss, when Kim suddenly heard a rattle from the bushes behind them. She turned away from Josh and looked towards the noise. Josh, who didn't hear anything, almost fell forward when Kim turned away. He looked up at Kim a little disappointed. But saw she was looking at something, and then turned in the same direction, just in time to see the new Janitor from the school coming rushing out of the bushes.
He was dressed in a wood brown shirt, and shabby jeans, his dark-brown hair was ruffled and stood out to every side like a haystack. He looked at them for a moment, before he dashed into the woods.
They looked after the janitor, who vanished between the trees.
They looked at each other.
"Okay?" Josh said.
"What was that all about?"
He looked at Kim as if she had the answer.
"I don't know." Kim said, thinking that the janitor had looked frightened, as if he was trying to get away from something.
"I think we should go see if he needs help." She then said getting up from the bench, and was about to head towards the forest, when she felt Josh holding her back.
"Kim, I think we should stay out of this," he said.
Kim looked at him concerned.
"Josh, he might be in trouble, we have to see if his all right!"
"He's probably just out for a night jog." He said with a tone that showed that he just wanted to leave this behind, and get on with the night.
Kim just looked at Josh, and she was about to say something when the night was pierced by a scream, as from a human which entire body was getting torn apart. Without a word, Kim released herself from Josh's hand and ran towards the forest. Josh stood for a moment, then he ran after Kim,
"I'm going to regret this" he mumbled to himself.
Kim was glad that Josh had joined her. She knew that he rather would have left it behind, and at first she thought that he was being selfish, but then she remembered the not all people are like her. They don't all have an urge to go out and help wherever they can, she couldn't help too think that sometime.
They reached a glade about ten yards in. Kim's eyes scanned the area. It was a completely flat grassy plan, and five yards away from them was Michael Graford (the janitor) crawling forward across it while he was jerking in pain.
Kim ran up beside him with Josh right behind her.
"Man, is he having some sort of seizure?" Josh asked as they ran.
"I don't know, looks like it." Kim answered.
Kim got down on her knees beside Michael and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Mr. Graford, what's wrong, do you need a doctor?" Kim asked, she was worried now, she could feel that his shirt was socked with sweat and he was panting heavily.
Suddenly Michael screamed out and swung his body around, so he came to lie on his back. His fingers plunged them selves into the grass, and he screamed again, his eyes closed hard together as if he tried to block out the pain.
"I am calling an ambulance!" Josh said, and pulled out his cell-phone.
Josh was about to dial 911, when Kim saw Michaels eyes fly open, and faster then any human Kim had ever seen, he was up on his feet, and grabbed the cell-phone out of Josh's hand and threw it into the woods.
"What the hell!" Josh yelled as he saw his cell-phone fly through the air.
"I was just trying to help!"
Michael fell back on his knees shivering all over his body.
"Run away!" he whispered.
"What..?"
Josh looked at Kim, not knowing what to do.
Kim walked over to help Michael back up, but when she placed her hands on his shoulders, he shook them off.
"Mr. Graford," she said.
"Calm down, I just want to…erk!"
Michael had swung his left arm backwards and knocked Kim to the ground.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, OR I WILL KILL YOU!" he screamed.
Josh quickly got to Kim too help her, they both looked at the janitor as he put his hands on his head a said aloud.
"I can't hold back anymore!"
Then they froze.
Michael's body began to change right in front of them. He twisted and turned uncontrollably as his bones changed shape and his muscles grew to the double of their normal size, tearing his shirt to shreds. Under the shirt they could see his body hair becoming longer and thick, covering it all. He raised his hands as a religious man praying to his God, as his nails was replaced with long razor-sharp claws. He screamed as the lower part of his face stretched itself into a pair of jaws with bone-crushing teeth. His ears moved higher up on his head, and became longer and pointy. With a growl he tore off the rest of the clothes, which were sitting tight onto his body.
Kim and Josh just stared as the werewolf turned towards them and howled.
