Same disclaimer as always: Wolf Lake is not my property.
NOTE: Taking a step back and away from Sophia and Luke (for this one chapter, at least) and see what the human adults know and share with their un-suspecting adolescents....Chapter 8 will be about what the ugneralings at the diner discuss after Sophia no longer can hear what is being said.
Part 8-
"What do you mean the HUMAN adults?" The young girls asked.
"Not out here, back in the locker room...I'll tell you all that you need to know!" The cook/manager said as he led the waitress back into the relatively privacy of being out of earshot.
They got back into the furthest corner of the back of the locker room. He sat down within inches of her, leaning in, and whispering into her ear with a black and white TV on at a low volume at the front-near the door. So, that any Skin Walker eases dropping would only hear Fox News.
"First, you need to keep your voice down to a low whisper. Because, if they hear us. We both could end-up dead before we even get home tonight. Secondly, do you know anything about Skin Walkers and/or The Wolven?"
"The Skin Walkers are people who can turn into wolves and The Wolven are what they refer to their people, tribe, clan, or their pack. Right?"
"Yes. And here in the town of Wolf Lake, the town is most populated and ran by The Wolven. All the "hill kids" and Sophia are all Skin Walkers. They are dangerous. They have heightened senses. Sense of smell, hearing, sight, taste, feel, and difintly wolf instincts; they will do what they have to do to protect their pack. You know who they are. Just run down the mental list of families that all seem to always be around each other. The ones that were at that meeting a couple weeks ago; it is genetic, they've been in this town for over 200 years. If, you want to know where each one of them fits into the hierarchy of the pack, just watch as they come out and how they fall into position. The Alphas always take the point, with their Betas on their flanks, and right down to the Omegas bringing up the rear. Remember, even the Omegas are dangerous. Because, the pack always takes care of their own-no matter what, no one gets left behind and no one is deserted. However, they have their own rules and laws; they take care of their own problems. Which includes us ugneralings, they like to call us that-it makes them feel superior and they are. You noticed the radical change in Sophia the past 6 weeks, it's because she was going through "The Change". It's where the Skin Walker's body prepares for the First flip. It usually happens earlier, like around 13, 14 years old, and 15 or 16 if a Wolven is a late bloomer. Sophia is a half-breed. Her mother was fully human, she was my sister. She told me everything in confidence, while she was pregnant with Sophia. Matthew showed her and about 4 months into her pregnancy she had to tell someone. I happened to be that person. I am the last of our human family. As a half-breed, my niece had a 50-50 chance of leading a normal human life. To be able to leave this place forever, if she so chose to, and go see the world. Once they've changed into a member of the pack, there is no leaving this place for them. It is a safe refuge for them. But now that she's an official member of the Skin Walkers, there will be no leaving Wolf Lake for her. My sister told me to keep an eye on my niece and I've kept that promise, however, my obligation is through. The Wolven will watch over her now, she is a member of their pack. My sister also told me about the signs of The Change, and that night that Sophia collapsed onto the floor. I knew then that it was too late, she was going to flip for the first time in a matter of days to weeks. I suspect that she flipped last night, considering from what I heard about how she threw Lucas Cates into his car halfway across the street. And scared off her ugneraling date. It was confirmed tonight, when she walked into the diner without her glasses on. I knew for sure when she quit and took Luke's hand and walked out. I suspect that she heard the start of our conversation out in main dining area. I am hoping that she will be loyal to family, even if I am an ugneraling. I cannot guarantee your safety, however. So, head this warning stay away from her and the rest of the Pack. You know who they are. Just recall the families. Do not interact with them, unless it is absolutely necessary. Meaning only if they come into the diner to eat. Otherwise, steer clear and go to college far away from here and do not come back for any reason. And for God's sake do not tell anyone who is not a human resident of Wolf Lake of what I just told you. It is for your own safety and the safety of the ones' that you love. We can and we do co- exist with them peacefully. For those of us, who know their secret; we don't let them know how much we do know and we most certainly don't go around blabbing it to just anybody. We know what they are and we know full well what they are capable of. So, we play ignorant and they let us ugneralings live. I became the manager of this place, because the recently deceased manager. Was a Cates, another member of The Wolven. And he went and did something he shouldn't have. He was going to be shipped off for the federal authorities to handle. He thought he was safe, however, Willard-his brother and Alpha-could not allow that to happen. So, he eliminated the threat. Therefore, leaving me in charge of running the place. However, this establishment is owned by the Alpha and overseen by the Pack. That's why you see a lot of the Hill Kids come in, especially Lucas Cates-he is in line to take over, one day, as Alpha and I suspect that Sophia has chosen him as her mate; See wolves mate for life, and in doing so Sophia has now become the Alpha female of the pack kids, I suspect her friend Sarah is now her Beta. I don't think you'll have to worry about seeing that bitch Presley in here anymore. Don't look so shocked, female canines are bitches. I believe that she died trying to defend her so- called position within the pack, tried to kill Sophia and Sophia won. Go on home, your shift is about 15 minutes away from being over with. I'll clean up. Act natural, play ignorant, and try to stay calm. They can smell fear a mile away. Now go straight home. I'll see you tomorrow evening."
