Ch 14: Negotiation

We were all there sitting in the dining room table. It was a dark wooden table with a flower designs all across the table with some red dinning mats to avoid a spill or mess on the wood. It was dark with only a few candle lights in the center of the table burning weakly. I was sitting across from my biological mother but, it would take much time for me to call her mom, Sophia on my left and Dorothy on my right. Sophia looked much like Dorothy, a punk rock girl with pink highlights and a nose piercing. She looked like she had a better attitude than Dorothy as her face expression seemed softer and more kind. Maybe she won't punch me in the gut simply because of a suspicion but I don't count on it. I get the feeling I'm not going to get along with these three ladies.

"So how should we do this?" asked Sophia looking at her mother

"All I want is two things. My memories which you stole from me and an alliance." I said

"Well let's talk about the alliance, what is the alliance and what is the goal?" Said my mother

So I explained to them what pops (grandpa) told me and what the plan was. As I went along they seem more interested as they had a surprise look on their face, especially when I told them we were planning to take down World and free all the werewolves that were being experimented on. They all seemed to be listening carefully, maybe it was because they actually might agree on the idea, or maybe it was so stupid they wanted to hear if it could get any dumber but once I was finished they all looked at each other for a few seconds and thought carefully. Then they said

"World has been terrorizing even the werewolf's he hasn't experimented on like us, I can't even go out to the mall without having some of his close friends follow me. I even got into a few fights in the parking lot before with his associates. I like the idea of this revolutionary fight and take a stand but if my daughters got hurt or killed I don't know what I would do. We have to say no."

I thought for a second. "You said it yourself, you're all being terrorized and there's nothing you can do if you don't fight him. Pops told me he's got dirty cops all over the city so you can't take this to court, the only thing we can do is kick his ass! Your daughters are basically not even living a happy life and sitting here isn't helping them. If you agree to what Pops says, then I promise I'll kick his ass." I said

"You can't even take a punch from a girl, you expect to beat him? He's the strongest wolf we have all ever seen. If you try to fight him, its suicide." said Sophia

"I can take him, I'm stronger than I look and I have got one trick up my sleeve that Deucalion taught me. I have been dying to use it too on someone strong. Plus it won't be just me, Pops will be there too" I said

"So all we have to do is help Pops find and destroy the drugs and weapons and you guys take care of the rest?" said Dorothy

"I think that's it but there may also be a huge battle and we might need your help but that should be it." I said saying it fast so they might not hear it

"Ugh well...Okay but is there anything that maybe we should know that you haven't told us?" Asked my mother

"No that's about it, help us take down World and you can get your freedom." I said

I didn't really want to scare them by telling them about the alphas since they might have disagreed or just punched me in the gut again.

"Before I leave I want my memories back." I said pointing at my mother

"I can't give them to you, it's complicated." she said

I gave her a confused look "Like hell it is, dig your claws into the back of my neck right now."

"Listen Angel, if I give you back your memories you will be confused. Just give me some more time and maybe I can do it but trust me now is not the time." she said looking sad

I shook my head "You know what I went through to get those memories? I came this far for you to tell me I'm not ready?"

My mother didn't say anything. Dorothy and Sophia looked confused and the room had suddenly got a dead silence. I was waiting for a response but I was disappointed. After a couple seconds of silence I got up from the table and started to walk to the front door.

"Wait Angel!" Said Sophia

I ignored them all and walked out the front door and started walking to Pops house with anger.

I opened the front door to Pops house and let myself in. After that agreement with my sisters and mother I was pretty damn hungry so I was pretty happy to see Pops wearing a white apron and making some eggs and bacon. I didn't even care that it was six PM, I was just happy to smell that delicious food.

"Ohhhh you are so my favorite person right now Pops." I said

He looked behind his shoulder and said "Pops? I kind of like that name. How did it go with the girls?"

"Yea there in, but when exactly do we do the plan?" I asked

"Well, finding most of the drugs and weapons and figuring out a way and to destroy them simultaneously could take a month or two. Then maybe a few days when World and his buyers have a conflict. So I would say two months but you don't have to worry about all that, your job is to fight World and if you fail, your sisters mother and me will probably get killed, but for now guess what you can do?" he asked

"What's that?" I asked

He set down the bacon and eggs with orange juice on the table where I was sitting

"Rule number one of a fight: Eat as much as you can before a fight." He said grinning
