Chapter 1:
-Babysitting!-
"Aunty Kathy! It is time to go to the school!" screamed a child's voice nervously through the apartment. The young one ran into the bedroom of his aunt, who still lay under her blanket cuddled, and still slept. But also by this noise not even a dead one could in encloses rests. Kathleen rotated on the left side and pulled her covers over her head. Throughout the room and by the way also part the apartment the shutters were the curtains drawn and were below. The young one jumped on the bed and shook his aunt.
"Aunty, aunty, aunty..." he was annoying.
"Oh, Alex, you know exactly that I don't like this." she turned to him and lowered her covers.
"But I have to go to the school."
"Where are Caleb and Zed? They should bring you to the school."
"Yes, but they won't."
"Won't? Well they will hear something of me." she put on and shouted out to the door. "Zed... Caleb move your asses right here."
Both came into the bedroom grinning and were standing side by side on the end of the bed. Both had changed their outer appearance, so that they didn't frighten Alex too much or gave a wrong impression. Zed carried his ponytail in style and combed. What his clothing tackles, well yes, he wore now some, not like usual no shirt. Quite simply his style: a red shirt, blue jeans and black jeans jacket and black gym shoes. Caleb's look hardly had changed, still his spiky hairdo, black jeans, dark-green shirt, blue Nike shoes and his black leather coat. Just the normal cool guys in Alex's eyes, if they didn't exactly annoy him. Now, it was already almost nine years since they live together with Kathleen and Alex. For Alex, they were his family. He named zed and Caleb uncles and if he asked about his mother and father, he didn't get any real answers only sad looks. But he had much fun with the two ones and Kathleen even if they lived a strange life, however, he didn't ask. Zed cleared the throat and laughed simultaneously and said:
"We only wanted to annoy him. Sure, we go with him to the school."
"I also want to hope this." Kathleen sat up, lift the cover from itself and saw Alex into the brown eyes. She smiled at him as she for cancelled his shoulder-length brown hair from the face. He resembled so very much his father. She wished to tell him the truth so very much that his father was still alive and definitely did worries about him. That he loved him. "Alex, be nice and go into the kitchen to have breakfast, I will immediately keep up and get ready your lunch-box."
"O.K. aunt." he jumped full of joy from the bed and by running past at the two bodyguards, he stretched his tongue out as a joke and giggled.
"Hey, that wasn't nice." wailed Caleb grinning.
"Boys, I also don't want to lose Alex. Please take it a little bit more seriously. We moved admittedly to Los Angeles however that doesn't mean that no enemies lurk here around. How do you see Alex in your eyes?" this was a strange question indeed and her look betrayed her apprehension.
"Like a normal boy, what else." answered zed simply the question.
"Yes, what does this questionnaire? We swore..."
"Just so. I'm just worried, that's all. He has no notion in which danger he is. he doesn't even know what we are."
"And that's the best at first. it is difficult to hide its nature and must keep back itself, believe me. We do it for Alex... for Michael." it was zed who spoke frankly.
"Michael... I miss him. We heard nothing of him, since... since nine years. Who says us that he's still alive?"
"Nobody, but he is sufficiently strong and he's certainly still alive. I'm certainly sure for nearly hundred percent."
"If he didn't find a way to kill himself."
"Well great, thanks very much to for this remark, Caleb."
"What? I try to remain only realistic. He was too much desperate to be about happy, or do I lie approximately incorrectly?"
"no, but it was a stupid thought and furthermore he is to wild and if his mind as wildly as his more physically part is, then I suspect that he will never admit this."
"Why must you guys always expecting immediately the worst! Maybe I'm now a... a vampire however I have still feelings, you probably lack. he promised me to come back." fury was mixed with grieve in her voice and she was near the tears.
"We are sorry, Kathleen. Its only, we are worried about you."
She smiled at zed. "I know to appreciate this." she got up and embraced the two fellows. Sometimes, she forgot that the two were werewolves and saw real friends before her. Again and again, the conversation with Michael came highly for her where he told her his dark secret and told her all about Lycans and vampires and their relationship. Death enemies for the life. And now, she lived together with two of those and they didn't have still any problems so far. "Now go you two, I have to get ready Alex's food. We are already t late anyway." all three went into the kitchen where they saw Alex sitting at the table and ate his corn flakes and drank one glass orange juice. Kathleen opened the refrigerator.
"What do you want today, dear?"
"Ham sandwich."
"Oh dear, you know we doesn't have any ham in the house. What do you think from a delicious assorted salad with tomatoes?"
"But, I want a ham sandwich. All have a ham sandwich, only me not. I eat everyday, salad or egg-sandwiches".
"You know what the doctor had said? Meat isn't good for you. Now stop to wail on around. Salad is healthy.
"My dad would allow it." he muttered.
"No, he wouldn't. Now go and get you your school-stuff. I make the salad and don't argue."
