Chapter 5
"Years ago, it meant something to be crazy. Now everyone's crazy."
Charles Manson
"She wants me to be a god damn bridesmaid?!?" Leah screamed at the top of her lungs. Sue jumped back in surprise at her daughter's sudden outburst. "Leah, dear, language," Harry said as he sat at the kitchen table, reading the newspaper. "No!" Leah cried. "This is bullshit! If Aunt Libby thinks I'm going to be one of her daughter's bridesmaids, she is very much mistaken,"
"Actually dear, Emily wants you to be one of her bridesmaid," Sue corrected her gently, afraid of her reaction. Leah just screamed. Sue sighed and looked at her husband for help, but before Harry could reply Seth shuffled in. He looked pale and sweaty. "Mom...I don't feel so well," Seth muttered as he leaned back against the wall, almost falling to the floor. Sue quickly walked over to her son. "Mom, don't you even care about how I feel?!?" Leah yelled. "That bitch stole my boyfriend and then asks me to be a bridesmaid in the damn wedding!" "Leah!" Sue yelled. "I don't want to listen to this right now. Your brother is sick and please don't use that language with me." Leah screamed, but this time the scream turned into a growl. In a blink of an eye, Leah was on the ground, panting and snarling. She was on all fours...fur started to cover her body. She grew a snout and her teeth became sharp. Sue and Harry watched their daughter turn into a wolf right before their eyes.
"L-Leah...honey," Sue said softly. Leah growled and snapped at her. Sue jumped back in fear. Leah growled again. Seth let out a moan and fell to the floor. "Seth?!?" Sue cried as she looked down at her son in fear. Leah howled as Seth's body started to morph. Fur covered his body, he grew a snout.
Harry watched in panic as his wolf daughter howled to his left and his son changed in front of him.
He couldn't breathe.
This wasn't supposed to happen to his kids.
Why was this happening?!?
Harry put his hand on his heart. His chest was burning. He started to sink down to the floor. "Harry!" Sue cried out. But she didn't dare take a step. She looked up at her daughter, who was now just an angry wolf. Leah growled and fled from the house. Seth whimpered and followed. Sue immediately ran to her husband. He had his hand, pressed tightly to his chest. Sue grabbed the phone and called 9-1-1.

Leah woke up with a start. Her earbuds had fallen from her ears and music was blaring from them. Leah wiped her eyes, looking around. It took her a moment to realize that she was sitting in the kitchen at her parents house. Leah groaned and stood up, stretching. She started to clean up the food that she had been eating for lunch when she fell asleep.
Leah worked up the courage to go back to her parents house. She had a job to do before she could leave. And with the funeral in two days, she was hoping to get the job done fast. She blamed being back home, for the reason why she kept dreaming of her past. Another reason Leah couldn't wait to leave.
She finished cleaning up her lunch mess and turned. She leaned back against the counter, looking around the room. The kitchen. This was where she had phased for the first time. This was where Seth had phased for the first time. And this was where her father had his heart attack. Leah blinked back the tears and quickly went back to work.
It was starting to get dark when Leah's cell phone rang. She was walking up the stairs, when it rang. She sighed and took her phone from her pocket. "Hello," she answered, sliding down to sit on a step. "Sister," Seth replied. "Are you still at the house?" "Yeah, I am here,' Leah answered, pushing a couple strands of hair back from her face. "I got a lot done. Downstairs is cleared out, except daddy's office. I thought maybe you would want to be with me for that one. Have anything you want." "Yeah, we can do that tomorrow," Seth said. "Right now, it's late. I'm going to come pick you up." "Okay, I'll see you soon," Leah replied. The phone clicked and Leah put her phone away.
She looked around the downstairs area from her place on the stairs. The rooms were bare. She was proud at all the work she had got done, but sad, looking at the empty rooms. However, another good thing was that she hadn't heard the giggles at all. Leah believed someone had broken in that night. It made sense now.
Leah looked up at the stairs. Seth would be there soon. But she just wanted to take a quick look. She wanted to make a quick inventory of what she had to clean out. Leah stood up and walked up the rest of the stairs. She got to the second floor and walked to the end of the hall. Curtains hung on a window at the end of the hall. The curtains would have to be thrown away. Leah opened the first door. It was her parents room. The room was mostly empty. The king size bed was still in the center of the room, but the dressers were gone. Leah walked inside the room and opened the closet to find them empty. Sue had gotten rid of all Harry's clothes before she left the house for good.
Leah made a quick mental note of what was in the room before walking out and going to the next room. She opened the door and was in the doorway of Seth's old room. Fortunately for her, he had taken all of his stuff when he left. The room was bare except for an old mattress in the far side of the room. "Thank you, Seth," Leah joked aloud before leaving the room. She walked to the next door and opened it.
It was the bathroom. Leah looked around, getting a flashback of memories of her taking hours in the bathroom to get ready for school. Seth, Sue, and Harry would be yelling at her to get out so other people could use it. Leah smiled at the memory and went back to making her inventory. The bathroom was pretty cleaned out. The only things that had to be thrown out were some old towels.
Leah left the room, feeling confident that the job would soon be done and that she could go home. Leah went to the last room. She opened the door and walked slowly into her bedroom. Her breath caught in her throat. It looked the same when she left. Her mother touched nothing at all. Leah covered her mouth with her hand as tears filled her eyes. "She wanted to keep it the same for me," she said softly as she walked over to her bed. She sank down onto the bed, looking around. The room was filled with a lot of dark colors. The room used to be light and colorful, but after the Sam and Emily drama, she couldn't take the color anymore.
The room was the same. Her dresser stood to the left of the bed. A tv and radio were against the wall in front of the bed, a vanity table stood in the corner of the room, and a closet was on the right wall. The doors were opened and clothes still hung in it. Leah smiled to herself and stood up from the bed. She walked over to the closet.
Startled, Leah spun around and looked at the door. Nothing was there. She could have sworn she felt something walk past the door, in the hall. Had Seth already arrived? Leah walked away from her closet and over to her bedroom door. She looked out into the hall. No one. Maybe she was imagining things. She shrugged and walked back over to her closet. She started to look at the clothes. Wow fashion sure had changed over the last ten years.
Leah picked up some old jeans. "I wonder if I can still fit," Leah joked to herself aloud. She laughed and put the jeans down. A big, bright yellow bag caught her eye. It was hanging deeper in her closet. Leah recognized it as a dress bag. She grabbed the bag and untied it at the bottom. She pulled the bag up and a silk red gown slipped out. Leah bit her lip hard. It was her Homecoming dress from her sophmore year. Her and Sam's first dance. Her and Sam's first date. Leah ran her fingers down the material before putting it back into the bag. She tied the bottom up and hung it back into her closet.
"The dresser will go, the bed will go, the TV, the radio. I'll go through the clothes," Leah said to herself as she looked around the room at tomorrow's work. There was a clatter downstairs and Leah's head snapped up. "Seth, I'm up here," Leah yelled down. She looked around the room, continuing her mental inventory. She waited for her brother to come upstairs, but he never came. Leah sighed and walked to the door. She heard a murmur of voice downstairs. "Who'd you bring with you?" Leah muttered to herself. She stepped out into the hall and everything changed.
Leah blinked looking around. The hall was bright, early morning sunshine shone brightly through the window. She looked around confused. Sunlight? It was close to 7:00 at night. A delicious aroma wafted into Leah's nostrils. The smell came from downstairs. It was the smell of bacon, eggs, pancakes, and fresh brewed coffee. "Seth?" Leah asked unsurely. She walked to the top of the stairs and looked down. The living room was clean and bright. All the furniture was there and the tv was on to the morning news. Leah looked around before looking back downstairs. She still couldn't make out the murmur of voices but Leah could hear the clattering of dishes as breakfast was being served.
Leah was so confused. What was going on? There were a couple more murmurs and then a booming laugh. Tears filled Leah's eyes. "Daddy?" she cried softly. She covered her mouth as the tears fell from her eyes. "This is ridiculous," she heard a voice say from downstairs. It was a woman's voice. Leah froze. "Mom?" she said softly. "Leah Anne, come downstairs, your breakfast is getting cold. You're going to be late for school," her mother's voice called as her mother walked out of the dining room and appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
Leah froze in fear. It was her mother. She was alive and healthy. "Okay, fine," a voice called from behind Leah. She slowly turned around. Down the hall, the bathroom door opened and a younger looking Leah stepped out. She had to be no more than 13 or 14 years old. The younger Leah walked past her and down the stairs. Sue smiled. "My beautiful little girl," she said and kissed Leah's head. Younger Leah rolled her eyes and walked past her mother into the kitchen. Sue followed her.
Leah was in shock. What was happening? This couldn't be real. Leah grabbed ahold of her chest. She couldn't breathe. She felt like the walls were closing in on her. She felt cold all of a sudden. Her forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Leah cried out and started to fall forward. She grabbed hold of the railing but her hands had broken out into a sweat, and her hands slipped. Leah toppled down the stairs. Her head hit the hard wood floor at the bottom. "Ow...," Leah cried softly. She fought to stay conscious but the pain in her head was excruciating. Leah touched the side of her head gently and felt warmth. She looked at her fingers and saw blood. Leah finally lost consciousness, her mother's voice and father's booming laugh in her ears.
