The following morning Rhydian and Katie walked into the form room as the bell rung. Maddie gave the twins a concerned look. Tom and Shannon smiled at them.
"Are you two ok?" Tom asked.
"How's your mum?" Shannon asked.
"You told them," Rhydian said.
"I had to tell someone. I was worried about you" Maddie said.
"So, what happened?" Maddie asked after a minute of silence
"We got back at midnight, Mr and Mrs Vaughn went ballistic and we are grounded for about 100 years.
"Hows your Mum?" Maddie asked as Mr Jeffries walked into the classroom.
"Alright, let's get started." Mr Jeffries said.
"We will tell you later", Katie said as she turned around.
After class, Katie and Maddie followed Rhydian to his locker and found him trying to force his school back into his locker.
"Where are you going?" Katie asked.
"I'm going with mum," Rhydian said. "You should come as well"
"I don't want to go," Katie said. "I like the human world"
"What?" Maddie added
"She's my mum and she can teach me things," Rhydian said.
"You can't run away", Maddie said.
"It wouldn't be the first time but this time I will be sad to leave people behind", Rhydian said.
"I will tell your foster parents and Mr Jeffries. Katie will as well" Maddie said.
"You won't and Katie wouldn't do it. Tom and Shannon would, they'd think they are doing the right thing, saving me from a hopeless mother." Rhydian said. "You two know the difference. I'm going to live the life I was born for"
"Rhydian, what happens if you don't like it," Katie asked.
"Maybe I won't like it but you have to let me try," Rhydian said.
Rhydian closed his locker and walked away.
"Rhydian" Katie called. "Rhydian"
Rhydian didn't answer instead he continued to walk over to where Tom stood. Katie waited until Rhydian finished talking.
"What was that about? I thought you hated football" Katie asked.
"I do but I wanted to leave this school on a good note", Rhydian said.
"You don't have to leave Rhydian. Think about before you make your mind up" Katie said as she hugged her brother.
"I will but right now, we have a game to win", Rhydian said.
Football Match.
The match was tough. The game went into extra time. Kaite, Maddie and Shannon watched from the sidelines and The Three K's cheered them on. One of the boys from Barons Mill tried to score a penalty but Rhydian jumped into the air and caught the ball.
"Go Rhydian," Katie said after he caught the ball.
"Rhydian, Ball" Tom called out from across the field. Rhydian threw the ball to Tom.
Tom turned and faced the Barron's Mill goalie. He took his shot and it went straight into the back of the net. GOAL. Bradlington High win the match due to Tom's amazing goal.
"Tom, that goal was amazing"
Katie and Madie waited for Rhydian to get changed. Katie knew this would be goodbye. Her brother, the only person that understood her was going to live in the wild. When Rhydian came out of the changing rooms Kaite hugged him.
"I'm proud of you", Katie said.
"You know, it's not too late to change your mind", Maddie told him. "Or is this where we say goodbye. I hate goodbyes anyway"
"Well, we have something to do", Katie said as she caught her mother's scent. The twins turned around and faced their mother.
"We should be gone by now," Ceri said.
"By we, you mean Rhydian and you. I'm not coming" Kaite said.
"I said that I would see you after I finished", Rhydian said.
"Finished what?", Ceri asked.
"Playing football and talking to my sister", Rhydian said.
"Did you watch?" Rhydian asked.
"No. I don't watch humans playing games" Ceri said.
"Maybe you should of. Then you would understand why I can't come with you" Rhydian said.
"So you're staying?" Katie asked.
"Yep. I didn't want to leave my sister alone" Rhydian said.
"You both want to stay here", Ceri said sounding shocked.
"Today, I felt like I was part of something, a team," Rhydian said.
"Did she make you do this?" Ceri asked "Your tame friend"
"Maddy is not tame," Rhydian said. "Katie is the reason I chose to stay. I can't leave her"
"I"m your mother Rhydian, Katie", Ceri said.
"Our mother who has never been there for us", Rhydian said. Ceri flashed her Wolfblood eyes at the twins and left.
"Rhydian, Katie. Who were you just talking to?" Tom asked as he came out the changing rooms.
"No one", Rhydian said. "I thought you went to Bernies"
"I came back for the man of the match and his sister", Tom said.
"Cool, we are right behind you", Rhydian said.
"I'm so happy that you chose to stay. Full Moons would be boring without you" Katie said as they left the school.
