After what seemed like a lifetime, Kevin finally pulled into a gas station, where Edd pulled out his phone to look at the time. It was quarter to 1 am. He was never up this late unless he was lost in the world of a very intriguing novel. He sighed and put his phone away before turning to Kevin.
"Ok, I have no idea what is happening, but I feel that it is required, since I am running away with a guy who I have only been on half a date with, to know what the heck is happening." Edd then gave Kevin an expectant look, although he became wary of the darkness that flashed across Kevin's eyes as he looked back at the smaller teen.
Kevin allowed it to be silent as he filled his tank, then sighed, "Ok, Edd, I will tell you everything, I promise, but I can't tell you here… it is too conspicuous." Kevin looked at Edd, pleading him to not ask any more questions, as he had not been able to figure out how to tell Edd what he was, in a way where he would not lose him. He had lost so many others, he did not want to lose Edd too. Not this time.
"Ok, I respect that," Edd said, "however, when you said I could not go home for a whole, what did you mean?"
"I meant they saw you…." Kevin trailed off, "Let's find a hotel, and I will tell you everything."
Edd nodded, the lump back in his throat as he wondered what was happening and who 'they' were. "Ok, let us go."
After another half an hour of riding, to the point where both Edd and Kevin had numb butts. They pulled into a small Motel. Kevin went inside to get a room, while Edd stretched and allowed his muscles to relax. He pulled his phone out again, only to see several missed called from Ed. 'Oh Ed…' he thought. Edd had a feeling that he should not disclose where he was or what was happening, at least not quite yet.
Kevin came back and flashed a key card in his face. "Shall we?" Kevin asked with a mischievous smile. However, Edd could see past the flirt, and saw uncertainty behind his eyes. 'Why is he so nervous?' Edd could not help but wonder what was going to happen.
They went into the room, and Edd saw that it was furnished with only one bed, he blushed slightly at the thought.
"I can sleep on the floor…" Kevin said suddenly, averting his eyes from the smaller teen.
"No, that will hurt your back, it is fine. We can share the bed…" Edd said, with a little more urgency then he had meant to. "Besides, now it is time to fulfil your promise. Tell me what is going on."
Kevin sat down and motioned for Edd to do the same, which Edd did. "OK," Kevin sighed, "I suppose the first thing I should say is there are people out there who are trying to find me, to kill me. And they were there, at the parking lot tonight. I believe I have outrun them, but until the coast clears we can't go back." Kevin looked at Edd, gauging his reaction before he continued, "The reason these people want me dead… is because I…" Edd noticed how ghoastly white Kevin had gone.
"Kevin, I promise I will not leave, just tell me." Edd did not know if this would make Kevin feel better, it just felt like the right thing to say.
Kevin gave one bigger sigh, "Edd, I am not human…" Kevin looked at Edd, trying to read the ravenette, "I am a werewolf, the last one of my clan, of my kind."
