I was watching some Friends on TV when Jared came in. It was just me in the house as Emily went to get some groceries.
"Lauren!" He called laughing.
I got up and turned the TV off.
"Jared what is it?" I asked.
"Just... go...outside!" he said between laughs.
"Ok" I walked out the door leaving Jared dieing of laughter.
I walked out and saw Paul looking grumpy with a rope in his hand. The rope was attatched to a pony.
I chuckled a little.
"Do you like it?" asked Paul dead serious.
"Yes I'm sure you cousin would like it" I said the word cousin with those speech marks that you do with your hands.
I started stroking it's muzzle.
"Um Paul?"
"Yes?"
"Isn't this the pony we saw at the fair the ones that you ... rent"
"Yes" he smiled guiltily.
I laughed.
"You should let it run around"
"Yeah I would but she might get Eaten by the" he suddenly stopped.
"By the what?" I asked. "The..wolfs?"
"I know you've seen them twice or one twice"
"Okay how do you know I saw the same one when I didn't? And have you seen them?"
"Yes I have seen them"
Yes I'm not the only one!!
"There really cool aren't they?" I asked exited.
He nodded.
"Lauren I need to talk to you" I said serious.
"I know you were lying to me Paul this pony (I stroked the pony) isn't for your cousin"
"Yeah Sam doesn't want me to tell you but I have too"
Yess I'm finally going to find out this secret!
Paul tied the pony to a random tree.
He took my hand and walked deeper into the forest.
Then we stopped and he turned and faced me.
"Paul what's going on?" I asked.
His face was so serious It scared me a little.
He sucked in a breath of air then he spoke. My heart pounded. This secret was far more bigger then I ever imagined.
"The wolf that you saw was me"
"Huh?"
He then morphed into a wolf. Not just any wolf exactly like the one I saw earlier today.
The wolf stood there in front of me. Its eyes stared into me waiting for me to react.
My eyes were wide opened.
Oh my god there was a giant wolf in front of me and I think it was Paul. No way.
I reached out my hand. I touched his head his fur was so soft.
I stroked him. Oh my god I'm stroking Paul. I smiled.
The tension in his eyes seemed to break away probably because I smiled.
I went down on my knees so I was at his level. I cupped is big face in my hands that seemed really small when compared to his face.
"It's really you isn't it?" I asked and looked into his eyes.
He nodded.
I kissed his soft head.
"This is the secret?" I whispered.
Paul nodded.
"I love it!" I smiled.
"So you can't speak when you're like this?"
I'll take that as I no.
"You're really cute!" as I said that I gave him a hug and rested my head in his back I could hear him breathing.
He then morphed back.
"Aaah so that's why your never fully dressed, cos your clothes rip of you"
"Yep, but you can't tell anyone this not even you dad"
"Got it who else knows this and who else is this?"
"Emily knows and well all of us are"
"So there wolfs but Emily isn't yeah?"
"Yeah"
"So that's why when I told Emily and you guys you were all weird"
"Yeah Sam with a bit annoyed with me, I could hear your breathing and I wanted to see who was there it could of been Edward and Bella but I needed to check"
"Who are they?"
"That's another story"
"So that's it your just wolfs right nothing else?"
"Well when we are wolfs we can see into each other's minds and we all have a hotter temperature we eat more we run very fast we heal very fast we.....(he was thinking) ow we have a very good sense of hearing and all of us are in a pack and Sam's is the alpha wolf"
Wow this was really serious like this was real.
"There's alot more but I''l tell you later once you've processed that chunk of info"
"OK so when you were a wolf they could read your mind so they know I know?"
"Only Leah Seth, and Sam know they were wolfs then"
"Oh so if your human you can't read each other's mind"
"Yeah it is because were a pack so we need to share information and we can't talk so we think"
"So that's it right, just wolves, no-ones like eh um, vampire right?" I asked randomly.
He looked at me weirdly , "no vampires right?" I repeated
