EPISODE 5: A VISIT TO MY PARENTS

I survived another full moon's curse and emerged from the basement feeling like I had wrestled a bear. As I walked back to my dorm, I noticed the school was preparing for an occasion - Parents' Visit Day, which happens after every full moon night.

"Oh, I need to get dressed," I said, entering my dorm. Anna was trying on clothes, and Nova was helping her pick out a dress. "Oh, Freya, you're back," Nova said, welcoming me.

Anna and Nova were excited about the visit, but I wasn't looking forward to it. I had never brought friends home before, and I wasn't sure it was a good idea.

As we prepared for the visit, I received devastating news from the principal's office - my dad had passed away. I was in shock, and my friends tried to comfort me. Nova shared her experience of losing her dad, and Anna tried to understand what I was going through.

As I packed my bags, Anna volunteered to accompany me home, and to my surprise, Nova joined us too. We arrived at my parents' mansion, and Anna and Nova were amazed by its grandeur.

As we entered, I met my cousin Jordan Grant, who teased us good naturedly. I pushed her away and went to see my mom, who was crying in dad's reading room. I couldn't believe my dad was gone, and I wondered who could have killed him and why.

I hugged my mom tightly, trying to comfort her. "Mom, are you okay?" I asked, taking the photograph from her hand.

She looked up at me, her eyes red from crying. "Freya, your father... he's gone," she sobbed.

I felt a lump in my throat, trying to process what she was saying. "What happened, Mom?" I asked, my voice shaking.

She took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "He was murdered, Freya. The police are investigating, but they don't have any leads yet."

I felt a wave of anger and sadness wash over me. Who could have done this to my dad?

As I stood there, trying to come to terms with what had happened, I heard a noise behind me. I turned to see Jordan, my cousin, standing in the doorway.

"Hey, Freya, I'm so sorry about your dad," she said, her voice soft.

I nodded, feeling a lump in my throat. "Thanks, Jordan. I appreciate it."

As we stood there, trying to comfort each other, I realized that this was going to be a long and difficult journey. But I was determined to find out who had killed my dad, and make them pay.

I spent the next few days in a daze, trying to come to terms with what had happened. My mom was a mess, and I tried my best to support her. Jordan was also there for us, helping out in any way she could.

But as the days passed, I started to feel a sense of anger and frustration. Who had done this to my dad? And why?

I started to ask questions, but no one seemed to know anything. The police were investigating, but they weren't telling us anything.

I decided to take matters into my own hands. I started digging into my dad's past, looking for any clues that might lead me to his killer.

It wasn't easy, but I was determined. I spent long hours researching, asking questions, and following leads.

And then, one day, I got a break. I found a piece of evidence that pointed to a suspect.

I was shocked and angry. I couldn't believe that someone I knew could be capable of such a thing.

But I knew I had to act fast. I couldn't let them get away with it.

I gathered my courage and went to the police station. I told them what I had found, and they listened.

They were skeptical at first, but as I showed them the evidence, they started to take me seriously.

And then, they told me something that made my blood run cold.

The suspect was none other than Orion, Nova's brother.

I couldn't believe it. Orion, who had always been so nice to me. Orion, who had been at the academy with me.

But as I thought back, I realized that he had been acting strange lately. He had been distant and cold, and I had noticed him arguing with my dad a few times.

I felt a wave of anger and sadness wash over me. How could he do this to my dad?

But I knew I had to stay calm. I had to let the police handle it.

And so, I waited as they investigated and gathered evidence.

And then, one day, they arrested Orion.

I was relieved, but also sad. I had never wanted it to end like this.

But I knew that justice had been served. And I knew that my dad could finally rest in peace.

As I watched Orion being taken away, I felt a mix of emotions. I was glad that justice had been served, but I was also sad that it had come to this.

Nova was devastated. She had always looked up to her brother, and she couldn't believe that he was capable of such a thing.

I tried to comfort her, but I knew that it would take time for her to come to terms with what had happened.

As we left the police station, I couldn't help but think about my dad. I missed him so much, and I wished that he was still here with us.

But I knew that he was gone, and that I had to keep moving forward.

I looked at Nova, and I knew that she was feeling the same way. We were both grieving, but we were also both determined to move on.

We went back to the academy, and we threw ourselves into our studies. We knew that our parents would want us to succeed, and we were determined to make them proud.

As the months passed, we both started to heal. We still missed our parents, but we were learning to live with the pain.

And then, one day, something unexpected happened. We received a letter from an unknown sender.

It was a mysterious message, but it gave us hope. It told us that our parents' deaths were not in vain, and that their legacy would live on.

We were intrigued, and we started to investigate. We followed a trail of clues, and it led us to a shocking discovery.

Our parents had been part of a secret society, a group of people who were working to make the world a better place.

They had been killed because they had discovered a dark secret, a secret that threatened to destroy everything they had worked for.

But their deaths had not been in vain. They had left behind a legacy, a legacy that we were determined to continue.

We knew that it wouldn't be easy, but we were ready for the challenge. We were ready to follow in our parents' footsteps, and to make a difference in the world.
