Chapter 4
The next morning he was called away to take care of something at the office but he said he would be back in time to see me off to the home, and he was. It all so turned out that Aunt Lauren knew one of the nurses here at the home. For it was the one that we went to, so she could talk to her about something they had planed for the weekend. That means she can keep a very close eye on mehere. Oh joy, that means she thinks I will go crazy again.
"At least we know that she is safe here. I hate homes like like these. One was in fact killing some of the patents that they where taking care of when they did not get better. But if you know the staff than you will hear more of what happens here than most. I hope you can trust this friend that works here Lauren," my Dad says as we pull up.
"Yes, I was offered a positen here once but I declined. I was happy were I was at and at the time this place was to far from where I lived. I know the lady that got the job and she is a friend even if I do not care for her that much," she answered him.
"Hello, welcome to the Lyle House Group Home," said a rat faced woman. "My name is Dr Gill. If you will follow me to the office Mr. Saunders, I will explain how our program works. Lauren you may go with Chloe to help her settle in her room. Dr. Talbot will show you around before going upstairs to the rooms," Dr. Gill said in a voice that sounded as much like a rat as she looks like one.
The tour was basic and I know at once, a few weeks here and I will forever hate yellow. When we got to my room, that I would be shareing with a girl named Elizabeth, who seemed to be a fan of Lizzie McGuire. I was glad to see that it was a shade of light blue with white borders. They left me here alone in my room to put my things away and so that I could get a nap. Only after I tould Aunt Lauren off.

The new girl is here, I sit here listening to hear what her name is, since Simion will want to know. I am glad to hear that she is quite and not a talker. Her father asks about the other resadents here at the group home as the new girl and her aunt go on the tour of the house. Where is her mother? I turn back to the talking in the office.
"There are three boys here and three girls. All of which are great kids." Dr. Gill said. Yeah right, Tori is pure evil, Ray is a two faced girl, Liz in nice but needs more help than they are giving her here, and Petter never talks so he is okey. Simion is the only good kid if you ask me.
"Where are they then, for I do not hear them any where in the house," her father asks.
"All but one of them have gone to a movie right now. To let Chloe settle in before meeting the others," Dr. Gill said. Chloe? Why does that name sound familer.
"What are the names of the others. Also I would like to meet the one that is here, so that I could know one face of the kids that live here," her father asks.
"Mr. Saunders, I do not think that would be smart. Derek is not a people person that is why he is not out with the othere right now," Dr. Gill said. Saunders! Her name is Chloe Saunders! She is a werelioness, not just any werelioness at that but the princess of the werelioness'. The one that is the daughter of Dad's friend, the one he warned me and Simion of three years ago!
"Well then since he is here to get help, right. He should meet new people a few at a time. Can I at least know his name," her father is right. I can't help but laugh at that he put her in her place and I have to say I like him.
"His name is Derek Souza. I do believe what you just said could indeed help him, so I see no problem in you meeting him. I will go get him then," Dr. Gill said.
"Did you say Derek Souza as in an old colege of mine son? I once worked with a man that had an adopted son named Derek Souza. Tell me is his fater Christerfer Bea?" Mr. Saunders asked her.
"Yes, you know mr. Bae then?" Dr Gill asked him.
"I worked with him for a few months a few years ago and he made me laugh with stories of his sons and I made him laugh and he would say he wish his son Simion was like Chloe or Derek at times for they never complained over the way things were or if they had to move for kis job," Mr. Saunders said. "But I have never met his sons. Nor have I seen or heared from him in many years. So, I can't say I was good friends with him," he is smart to say that for he does not know me or Simion and he knows I can hear him.
"How sad for he has seemed to vanished and both Simion and Derek are here until, we find him or we find a place to send Simion that is near by so that if he is found he can get Simion quickly," Dr. gill said as if offering him the right to take Simion.
"I would not advise that if Derek is not much of a people person then he might close off completly if Simion was to leave. Now I thought you were going to go and get him so I could meet him," Mr. Saunders said. He is smart to keep Simion here, who would keep me calmed and if he was sent away I would not be able to help him if he was in danger.
"Very well I will go and get him, wait here Mr. Saunders," Ms. Gill said. As she said this I hear the footsteeps of those on the tour stop at a room upstairs, "This will be Chloe's room. Now Lauren lets go back down stairs so that Chloe can get settled," Ms. Talbet said.
"Bye, Chloe, I will come and see you as soon as I can," a lady said, her aunt I guess.
"Aunt Lauren, do not worry. I will be fine, you know that my Dad's family believe that ones streangth can be determined by ones hair color. Mr hair is like that of a lioness fur. A strong proud animal so I will be fine. So, please let me do this on my own. Besides you know most of the staff here anyway so you know I am safe here," Chloe said, this is the first thing I have heard from her and she has a soft kind voice.
"Chloe you are here to rest you do not need to handle any thing. So, I will be here as soon as I can," Ms. Lauren said.
"Aunt Lauren, how will I ever learn anything for myself IF you do everything for me? What next you take my pills for me as well to make sure they are not posion! Look I need to do this own my own or I will never be able to do any thing for myself. So, please stay away until I need help or if I want to see someone from home," Chloe said and her voice went from soft and kind to hard and cold. I also hear Ms. Gill cursing as she walks up the stairs to come get me. I got up and started to work on my science project that I could have had finished if I was not watched like a hawk here.
"Derek, I know you can hear me. Please act as if you know my name. Ask if it is Steven Saunders that is down stairs. I do not know if your father told you boys about me or not, but I am the son of a wereliones and my daughter is one. So, please I would like to meet you. For you are the first werewolf outside of the family that she is to meet," Mr. Saunders said once Ms. Gill was almost to my room.
"Derek, there is a Mr. Saunders down stairs that would like to meet you," Ms. Gill said.
"Steven Saunders?" I ask her and she looks shocked.
"Yes, you know him," she asks.
"No, but I remember my Dad worked with a Steven Saunders a few years ago and we would have meet him and his daughter if we had not moved again," I tell her as I get up.
"He is in my office then," Ms. Gill said as I passed by her.
"Thanks," I grunt to her. I hear her go to Ms. Talbol and Ms. Lauren.
"Well it seems that Mr. Saunders has meet one of the parents of two of the other residents," Ms. Gill said.
"Derek and Simion for they are the only siblings we have, well that the residents know of that is," Ms. Talbot said.
"Shush, Talbot, you know that that dog can hear you," Ms. Lauren said. Dog? Did she mean me?
"Fellows I know as well as you and I find it funny you know that those two are brother and sister and neither are aware of it. Not even the werewolf has figured it out. Besides I think that he and that sorcer will be making a run for it soon, now with that comment of yours," Ms. Talbot.
"Fellows, I am starting to think that your nice is a hybrid supernatral," Ms Gill said.
"What are you talking about? Steven is human not a supernatral," Ms. Lauren said.
"Well then how is it that he knows Kit then? A few years ago they where not known by their names that he used! He also had a meeting planed for Cloe to meet them, but they had to move so it was called off. So, how does he know them? And why does he call Chloe his little lioness? Could it be she is a werelioness?" Ms. Gill asked.
"No, he calls her that because of her hair color not because she is one for she is not," Ms. Sauren says with venom in her voice. I snort at this if only she knew the truth.
"I think we need to get a sample of her blood to find out for sure," Ms. Gill said.
"I see no point and you need a perent or gaudens permission for that in the first place and I say no," Ms. Lauren said.
"Very well then I will ask her father," Ms. Gill said. I rush into her office.
"Mr. Saunders, Dr. Gill is going to ask for a sample of blood from Chloe to test to see if she is a werelioness. I do not know how but Dr. Gill, Dr. Talbot, and Ms. Lauren know that I am a werewolf and Simion is a sorcer. The also said Chloe is a hybrid supernatural if she is a werelioness. My Dad said something about her mom being from a necromancer family. So, then there is a chance of her being a hybrid after all," I tell him as soon as I shut the door.
"I know all af this I heared all of the conversation as well. Well I did not know about the necromancer family part that is," Mr. Saunders said. "Derek, will you help my little lioness under stand her poweres and help me find a way to get her and you as well as your brother out of here. For the longer you stay the more danger you are in," He said looking me in the eye.
"I know the code for the alarm sistem. I could get Simion and Chloe out of here then, but I will stay here," I tell him.
"No, you must go with them to protect Chloe from other werewolves. Sorry, but you will also start to go through prechanges soon, now that you have well are about to meet a werelioness, as will she. So, you have to go along as well," Mr. Saunders tells me. I did not know this, that must be why my Dad warned me about her scent a few years ago. The wolf did try to get me to find her but only to find her nothing else. Right now the wolf wants to come out and clame her for himself. To make it so no other will dare try to mate with her.
"I did not know this then we must get out of here soon," I say.
"Yes, try to get out at least by the end of the month, no later got it," he said.
