Ch.4
Sidenote: So sorry I have not posted anything in awhile. I hope this makes up for it :) once again i want to thank The Flash for his editing skills. I will be working on the next part ASAP :)
I woke up in the barn naked, once again changed back into my human form without even knowing it. I sighed as I looked around. Finding several blankets besides me. Pulling the blanket around my waist I heard someone clear thier throat. I turned around to see Emily looking down at the floor, if I am not mistaken she is blushing. "Slept well Randall?" she asked clearing her throat once again as her eyes met mine. "Like a log." I replied with a yawn. "I hope that I did not scare you when I umm… changed." She laughed shaking her head at me. "That is not the first time I seen someone phase. Not even the second." She smiled at me. I frowned at her wondering how she was okay with all this. My thoughts got the best of me as I wondered if she was in fact a wolf too. "Are you a wolf Emily?" I blurted out. She shook her head once more "No but my fiancée is one. I'm sure you will meet him sometime today." She smiled at me and all I could do was nod.
"Hold on a sec and I will get your bag." She walked out of the barn. I looked around my surroundings once more. I ran my hand threw my hair closing my eyes . I smiled when I heard footsteps enter the barn and opened my eyes to see Emily smiling face in return. "I'll give you some privacy so you can get dressed. Everyone is waiting inside for you." She said smiled once more and left the barn. I felt my breath stop short not really wanting to go in there and face the music. I threw on my pants as quickly as I could pulling a shirt over my head as I started towards the door. I saw Emily leaning up against the door way. "Oh your still here." I sighed a bit of relief. She giggled "Do you want me to leave then Randall?" I could hear the hint of humor in her voice. Shaking my head no and whispering "No." She lead me towards the house and up the porch stairs.
I tried looking through the windows as we passed them heading to the door. Nerves over took me once again and I felt Emily's hand grab mine. "Just breath Randall." I smiled over at her and gave a tight nod. She smiled in return as the door opened. Out popped my father and I let out a big sigh trying not to let my nerves or anger get the best of me. "Well son you put on a damn good show for everyone, phasing like you did." My father said with a huge grin. I bit back the anger as he called me SON trying my best to just ignore it. "Sorry about that…It's kind of a new thing I am going through." I said sourly. "Trying to tame the beast within is a hard thing to do at the beginning stages son….I mean Randall. But it gets easy with time and a little patience." I heard my father's words sink in. Nodding my head and looking him in the eyes I started to speak. "Maybe you can help with that. You know teach me ways to deal with my emotions." Seeing my Father smile I could not help but smile myself. I felt Emily pat my lower back as she walked pasted me into my father's house. Hearing her call out to Stella.
I looked over at my father once more as he was sitting on a porch swing. I leaned up against the banister crossing my arms over my chest. "So…are there other monsters that go bump in the night or are we kind of it?" At first I heard him laugh shaking his head. "No Randall. There happens to be our natural enemy." I cut him off before he could finish "Which is?" He laughed again thinking I must sound like a impatience child. "The cold ones…better known as vampires." He said with deep concern in his voice. "But from what I hear they moved on from theses parts few months back." I felt my mouth go ajar. "Vampires? Really like Dracula? Like I want to suck your blood?…Holy shit."
My father explained the myths with vampires and than started on the legends of werewolves. He did not go into many details telling me that we should wait for the first tribal council with the rest of the pack. That is when my brain started to work on over load. How many wolfs are in the pack? How many packs of wolfs are out there? Does everyone get along like a family? Will they hate me because I never grew up here? I felt a hand pat my shoulder turning to my side to see my father smiling. "Don't worry Randall your part of the family." I half smiled at him and than turned my gaze to the floor. "Never had much of a family growing up just mom and I." I thought I heard him say he was sorry but I really could not tell. "You boys ready for dinner?" I heard Emily say standing at the door someone was next to her. "Hi I'm Rachel your sister." She smiled at me extending her hand. "I hope we can get to know each other Randall."
