I awoke out of my dream with such energy and sweating. It all felt so real! like I was there. I knew there was a high possibility that it wasn't real, but I had to do some research and I had to find out.
I couldn't go back to sleep that night. So in the morning I got Kate and I head to the public library. The reason I took Kate was because I believe she could keep a secret. Not only that but out of Ron and Mon her skills at hacking also finding things are better then there's.
At the library Kate was typing away while I was pacing back and forth. This could explain everything about me and about the white wolf I've been seeing.
"I've got something." Kate said as she stop typing and look at her computer screen with disbelief. "Shut the front door."
"What do you got?" I ask her coming over quickly. She turn the computer and I look seeing the truth. It was all true. There was a toddler image of myself. "In 1999 parents found long lost child deep in the Everglades forest. Parents say they been attack by kidnapers just moments after the infants berth. Parents try to flee in a stolen car only to be push off the road and to run into the forest. Parent's clam they had to leave the child in the basket. No one knows how the wild child could have survived this long in the wild. They suspect a wolf pack might have taken the baby." I read but then the story ends there. "Can you find more?"
"No this is all I can find." Kate said to me. "It's like someone wanted this story to never be found again. I'm afraid to renew the page because it might not be there anymore."
I high light the whole page and then press print. "So what are you going to do?" Kate ask me standing up shutting down her lap top. "I mean you just found out something amazing about yourself."
"Frist I'm going to confront my parents and get some answers about Ranco! Then ask why do they want me so bad" I said to her and taking the article from the printer. "Don't tell anyone about this Kate. I mean it."
"Yes of course." She told me.
Later that day I confronted my mom and dad. They were both in the Kitchen. My dad was on the phone with his other wife and my mother was doing the dishes.
I walk in upset and put the article on the table. "When were you two going to tell me Ranco attack me the minute after I was born?" I said to them both and they stop what they were doing. They look at me as if a secret was out. I wasn't the type to beat around the bush. If someone was keeping something from me I got to the bottom of it! "When were you going to tell me?"
"I have to call you back?" My daddy said and hung up the phone. My mother dry off her hands and came to the table standing up. "Wayna this article i-"
I cut him off quickly upset because I didn't want to hear the bullshit. "I heard you two arguing a night ago! I found this article with this picture of you and mommy holding a little girl. This is real and I remember things. A lot of things. I remember you guys taking me to the doctor and the doctor tell you that my mind shut down. Also how I forgot everything! So when were you all going to tell me?"
"Baby we wanted to tell you but we thought it was best to protect you." my mother said to me trying to make me understand.
"Dam it Tracy!" My father said upset because now he knew he could not hide it anymore and my mother only confirms it.
"So it is true." I said looking at my dad. "Why did Ranco want me? Tell me!" My dad said nothing just look at me. "Daddy as much as I love you and mom, I have a society of people with children that can destroy nations. I told them that their children won't be in a war and that I can protect them! If that mean I have to leave you guys and tell them I will!"
"No one wants to use them like that. In fact it's the other way around." My daddy said to me. "We were just looking out for you."
"Then tell me the truth." I said to him. "You don't have to tell me your whole past. Just tell me why Ranco wanted me so much."
My daddy sighs and put his hands on the table. "I guess you were going to find this out later anyway. Better I tell you then someone else." He said to me seriously as I felt the room darken. "Before I meet your mom and had you with your siblings. I was an assassin for hire. I was the best at what I did. So good I stay under the radar of law enforcement. Then some organization call Ranco got wind of me."
"What happen?" I ask him wanting to know.
"They were impress with my skills." My daddy said to me. I could see he didn't want to tell me. "Ranco was looking in the black market community for hit man, marks man and assassins. But they weren't looking for hire. They were looking for people they could experiment on and they only took the strong. I said no but Ranco don't take no for an answer. They began to watch me more and more. Even when I meet Konto and my friends. That only made it worse. They did everything in their power to catch us. So much so we had to go off the grid."
"So they wanted you first?" I ask him seeing his pain.
"That's why we help you with your friends and all those people Wayna." My mother said to us. "Your dad and his friends didn't just leave for Mr. Crease brother Crate. He left because some of Ranco men suspect that he was still alive."
"So it was you guys who got rid of all those things retaining to my birth." I said to them seeing everything fall into place. "You didn't want them to know I was alive. So you got Cougar to get rid of anything that I was found."
"Yes so how did you found this?" My daddy said holding the article. "Let me guess Kate, Ron and Mon."
"Actually it was just Kate." I said to him. "I didn't want anyone else to know. To many people working on one thing can raise suspicion. One thing isn't explain to me why do Ranco want me?"
"Ranco decide if they cannot have me they would move to the next best thing." My daddy said to me looking at me with worry eyes. "You! They wanted you."
"You had two kids before me." I said to him in confusion.
"The first baby I had with a woman was too weak for Ranco. So they left her alone and I relocated them somewhere. You meet her, your big sister. The second baby I had with another women was boy. He had a strong body but no strong will." My daddy said to me looking on the table.
"I thought you went into hiding with Konto and your friends." I said to him. "How could they know you had kids?"
"Our hiding places were blown twice and by time they saw the kids they weren't babies they were toddlers." My daddy said and then look at my mother. "When I meet your mother I had already meet Mr. Creep and had relocated your older brother. Your mother and I saw each other in a club and the rest was history. I thought Ranco had forgotten about me because I haven't seen them in years. I was wrong. The minute they found out I was having another kid they came for you. I didn't tell your mother at the time so it all came as a shock for her."
"So you put me in the basket and cover it." I said to her and she look at me with soft eyes.
"We were all trying to get away Wayna." She said to me. "The river was too deep. Also it nighttime and alligators could be out. So I cover the basket and was going to come back for you. We never got the chance."
"They shot you daddy." I said to her and both of them look shock.
"Yes how did you know." she ask me.
"I had a dream about the white wolf." I said to them looking down and trying to remember what I dream. "She saves me and I think she was going to give me back to you guys. I guess she knew the danger and brought me out the burring forest."
"We owe her everything." My mother said to me.
"Why didn't you guys look for me after all that was over? How did you guys escape the flames?" I ask them both.
"Someone save us both." My daddy said to me. "It was Konto and Crease. We were rush to the hospital and I advise no one to look for you."
"But why? How?" I said in confusion and anger.
"We couldn't." My daddy said to me shaking. "Ranco was all over the place and we had to go into hiding again. We didn't leave the city. If we act like you were alive Ranco would have look for you. If you were alive they would have made you into a monster. So we couldn't look even though we wanted to. It tortures us on the inside."
"We thought you were dead from the flames." My mother said with tears in her eyes. "I hated your father because of it! I blame him for everything."
"If Ranco had even the slightest clue that you were alive they would have looked for you." My daddy said to me. "Ranco had agents everywhere and they are very under the radar. It was the hardest thing I had to do. To not go look for my child lost in a forest in order to protect her."
"They attack the hospital openly." I said to him. "Wont that blow there cover."
"Ranco got rid of any evidence that they were even there." My dad said walking up to me. "All evidence was gone and it was written off as a random act of violence."
"So what made you all look for me?" I ask them looking at them both. "What made you all risk everything?"
"One day your mother couldn't take it anymore. She had to look even though she might not find what she like." My daddy said to me. "So she took me and we look for you."
"We walk for miles in that forest till we saw a stampede." My mother said to me walking to me. "We wait till the dusk clear and then we saw you. There was no mistake in our minds. There you were my baby."
"The wolves didn't try to stop us." My daddy said to me picking up the article from the table and taking it to the stove to burn. "Somehow they knew you belong with us."
"I see now why you didn't tell me." I said to them. After my daddy burn the article he walks over to me. "The transition from living with wolves was a hard and painful one. So much so that I went into shock. I owe those wolves my life."
"Baby girl no matter what happens. No matter what anyone tells you. Know that I'm on your side and that what they say is a lie." My daddy said taking my hand looking me in the eyes. "I love you and I wouldn't do anything to hurt you ok?"
"Yes daddy." I said to him. "I love you two to."
I gave them both a hug and left. I had to find Kinto now and tell him what I learn about myself. I always told Kinto everything. Considering he was the one I was most close to. He was in his wolf-snake form taking a nap. "Kinto!" I called out to him.
I told Kinto everything at first he didn't want to believe me. Then he did and said it explain a lot. Then the conversation had gotten serous. "So that mean Ranco had it out for us all and still do." Kinto said in serous thought.
"Yes they do." I said to him sitting next to him. "Sooner or later there going to strike."
"I know. If they can't get at us in a physical way, they will try something else." Kinto said looking very grave and deep in thought. His ears were up as his snake tail went back and froth. "So we all need to be on guard."
"There nothing we can do now but wait." I said to him.
"I hate waiting wayna." He told me as I made my change. "I don't like being a sitting duck. I much rather go to them and deal with them."
"So for now we just relax Kinto." I said to him and pounce on him. "Besides let's see what you got in that Wolf-Snake hybrid form of yours."
"Get off me you moron!" He said and we fight.
