CHLOEThe room is quiet, and my mom and I are looking at Ms. Minnie frighteningly. She doesn't care, she still holds that creepy grin on her face like she didn't just tell us that she was the one behind everything. Like she didn't just confess to controlling me. No, she didn't confess she just came here and said it like it's something she does to me during my free time like it didn't matter to her. I knew there was something strange about this woman but I didn't know she was a witch, a deranged one. Who would have guessed that a nice woman would be a witch?And her cat is creepier than she is. I don't even want to look at it. She uses the cat to spy on people? She was spying on me and Tyrone? This woman's crazy. "If you have any questions feel free to ask me." She says with that smile still on her face. "How can you be happy after what you did?" My mom picks up the courage to ask, she's still scared but she gets an A for effort for having a little bit of courage in her. "I'm not ha
TyroneThis ends tonight. These creatures thought they'd kill my brother and get away with it, now they think they can kidnap Rene and get away with it. I'm so ready to destroy some fangs tonight.The moment I heard my dad say Rene was a vampire my heart skipped a beat. I legit thought he was going to disown me but then when I saw his smile I remembered that that's not my dad, disowning his kids for making mistakes or protecting their friends even though their friends are vampires isn't what my father stands for. Tonight I saw my old dad, the dad who didn't force us into anything. When he asked Nathan if we wanted to be the alpha and we said no he left it at that. He said if we changed our minds we should tell him. I'm lucky to have a father that's supportive, loving, and protective of his family. Chloe's dad and my dad sound similar. Chloe's dad wanted her to live a normal teenage life. My dad wanted us to live our best lives. Nathan was getting there, he was about to thrive, a cel
CHLOEI got rejected by another publishing company and the best thing I do is go to the bar to get drunk. I don't do this, most times I just go to my apartment and I begin to weep but today I'm at the bar drinking my sorrows away. "Josh!" I yell the bartender's name, at least I think that's his name. Even though it's not his name it's not in his job description to say it isn't all he has to do is serve me alcohol. He runs in my direction. He's cute but he's not my type, maybe it's because he sounds like Justin Bieber, and I hate Justin Bieber. He has blond hair, blue eyes, and nice lips but his voice? Ew. I shake my empty glass on his face. "Another vodka please," I yell at the top of my voice, I have to because the music in this club is loud as hell. He gets the same bottle of vodka as if the bottle was preserved for me. He pours it into my glass and I smile at him not because I'm being flirty but because he's a great bartender. I drink from it and I feel less shitty than I was
NATHAN It was really hard for me to leave her, she looked so beautiful while she was sleeping and I didn't want to wake her. Now she's going to think I used her for sex and ran away, ever since I left her house I haven't been able to get her out of my head. I don't understand why I feel this way all of a sudden. She floods my brain without even trying to and every time I think about that dammed smile, I smile, I blush and I think of times when she's next to me with that wide beautiful smile on her face as she greets me good morning. Right now I'm drawing her beautiful face on my sketchpad, her face is unforgettable I don't know if I can go by each day without wanting to see her again, without wanting to talk to her again. I stop drawing and I sigh, I look around my room and at the bookshelf, she has read so many books that I've read. I don't know why I'm keeping that in mind considering I'm the one that decided to leave without saying goodbye. The last relationship I was in wa
CHLOE He's not gay. A gay man will never talk about having three girlfriends in high school. I'm just sitting down and watching as he takes my girlfriends to comedy lane. We haven't talked about me being rejected again, I guess it's a good thing it's been hard for me to even think about it. It's better for me to watch this clown act like an idiot than for me to bring up my failure. "Hey, Chloe." He calls me and I put on my best fake smile, the fake smile that can convince you that I like you. "Who's your favorite comedy actor?" My girls are looking at me and they look brainwashed. I turn to face Chris who has that genuine smile on his face, his smile looks more real than mine. I also don't know why he's asking this question, what does this have to do with our club? Sure we talk about movies and music but he's not supposed to know that, he just joined us. "Uh, Chris Rock?" I say and he snaps his finger. "I love that guy." He's still looking at me and I want him to look away so
NATHANI didn't plan this I swear, I wanted to get a cup of coffee and I bumped into her, and no I didn't hear her with my super hearing, it doesn't work like that. In the streets where there are noises, you have to have full-on concentration if you want to hear someone from afar and that's not what I did. I didn't even know she was going to be here. Could it be fate bringing us together? I hope so because I want to believe there could be something between us. Something cosmic.But I don't think there's going to be anything cosmic between us when she wants to run away from me right now. "Wait! Please!" I yell. But she doesn't stop. "No, why should I? For all, I know you could be even worse than that creepy guy with the dirty beard." She says and it stings, that guy was a pervert and for her to compare me to him is a slap on the face. This means I hurt her by leaving and not saying goodbye, and if she's that hurt does that mean she likes me? Maybe she did like me and I blew it by run
CHLOEI never thought a burglar would break into my house. I'm always careful, we live in a cruel world and it does not favor women. Whoever this mother fucker is I'm about to take him down.I charge toward him, yelling like a soldier who's about to attack someone. The person turns around and yells and I stop when I find out that it's just my cousin, Rene. She's still screaming and I tell her to shut up. I cover her mouth with my hand. And when she's calm the first thing she does is smack my hand away from her mouth. "Chloe, why are you trying to kill me?" She gasps and puts her hands on her mouth. "is it because I stole two dollars from your purse the last time I visited?"This bitch. "Wait, hold on that was you?" She stays quiet then she giggles."I'm just kidding, I didn't-""It's too late Rene," I say and she immediately apologizes. I sigh and I drop the baseball bat on the ground. "Damn I thought you were a burglar or a Chris Joshua.""A what?" "Long story, why didn't you cal
Chloe"And you forgave him?" Rene asks not caring that there's food in her mouth, even with her mouth full I can tell she has that tone of disbelief. She cannot believe I forgave a guy who had sex with me and ran off the next morning. "Gurl, what if he wants to have sex with you again and then disappear?""No, it's different this time he doesn't want to have sex he just wants to know me better which is what tomorrow's for." I take a slice of pizza and I eat it, my annoying ass cousin is looking at me like I'm crazy, honestly I rather her think I'm crazy than my mom. My mom's going to make a big deal about it like I'm not an adult. "Okay, fine. But once you find out that he only wanted to use you for sex don't come crying to me and don't go blasting sad Taylor Swift songs." She says and I roll my eyes at her. She's so bitchy, one of the things I love about her though.I remember when she made a fool of Ryan Coleman in front of the whole school by accusing him of being his father's mi

CHLOETy couldn't stop speeding and we almost hit two cars because of it. They lay insults on us but we don't care, all we want to do is get to Rene. We're finally at Monet's and as soon as Ty stops the car I run out and I head toward Monet's, hoping and praying Rene might still be here. I get inside and I look around for her but I don't see her. Mr. Creep is still here though so I make my way toward him. I slam the table with my hand which makes him and everyone close to us flinch. He was startled indeed. I didn't mean to do that I'm just not in the right headspace at the moment. My cousin is missing and she might be in grave danger. "Where is she?" I ask him and he looks at me, confusion fills his face. "Where's who?""Rene, where's Rene?" "I. . . I don't know she left right after you left." "Did she say where she was going?" He does this questioning look like he's thinking about it. Why is he thinking about it? It's either he knows where she went or not. "She was on the phone
CHLOEI can't believe what I'm hearing, this can't be happening, this man can't be serious. What does he mean by what he just said? He looks dead ass serious though. How could I have been a werewolf this whole time? That's just absurd. This man is wrong, he might look serious but he's wrong. "How can I be a werewolf when I've never experienced any werewolf-like abilities before now?""Yeah! You're wrong sir!" Rene backs me up. The man sighs he's acting like we're the ones that are crazy. We're not crazy, he is. "Didn't you hear that I said? grey Werewolves are different than ordinary werewolves" we're quiet. "let me tell you the story of what really happened. Minerva Reeves was the most powerful witch that ever lived, the supernatural world knew that but humans didn't. And we all know what humans thought about witches back in the day, if you were known to be a witch you'd be killed. But in Minerva's case, everyone knew she couldn't be killed because of how powerful she was. She was
ChloeRene and I struggle to put my mom down on my bed, she's so drunk right now. You know she's really drunk once she starts talking about how she always wanted to see Michael Jackson naked. Which is a disgusting thing to hear your mother say. I feel relieved when I notice that she's out like a light. She's already snoring. Great, now I have to share a bed with her. But will I be able to sleep? After what that creeper told me?The grey wolf. Now, what did he mean by that? I'm going to be meeting him tomorrow and he better not waste my time if he does I'll rip his head off of his body. Rene and I tiptoe out of the room and we quietly shut the door. We then sit on the couch laying our backs on it. Trying to get my mother out of the club was hard but getting her up the stairs was harder. I can't believe we're not mad drunk like mom is right now. And wow, this couch is more comfortable than the old one. Maybe Rene should sleep in my room with my mom while I sleep here. "How did we g
TYRONE"Chloe is beautiful, no doubt about that," Chris says as he takes a sip from his glass. I've seemed to have forgotten what I really came here for. All I'm doing right now is having a beer with this man and staring at Chloe as she has fun. Chris is right though, Chloe is beautiful. I know I'm a cunt for saying this, but I wish I met her first. Why does my brother always have to be the first to meet all these beautiful women? Right now people are going on stage and talking about how lovely, and beautiful Chloe is. So far this party has been entertaining. But it's either I'm here or I'm at home where it's quiet and empty even if there are three people in the home, that's if I don't count Roberta the maid. My brother's death has changed us. I'd like to think my parents are still grieving and they'll be back to their normal selves in no time. The one I'm worried about the most is my dad. He's so angry, and he looks vengeful. I've never seen him like that before. The angry I've see
CHLOEMy mom loves spending money on me. Back then I was used to it, but t I decided to be independent by finding a job, and that's how I ended up at Monet's. Before, I would normally not allow my mom to spend any money, but since it's my birthday and she insisted, who am I to complain? I bought a lot of outfits with my mom's credit card. The clothes aren't what I usually buy, even my mom was confused as to why I decided to start buying dark edgier clothes all of a sudden. I didn't even notice what I was buying until my mom pointed it out. I was confused at first but when I looked at all the things I bought, they weren't like the clothes I usually used to buy. My type of clothes was light and all sunshine. That's why Rene teases me about looking like a Disney princess. I never liked the idea of a leather jacket but I suddenly felt the urge to buy one. When my mom asked me why I love edgy outfits all of a sudden I told her that I wanted a new look, and she didn't question it Rene wa
CHLOE"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Chloe, happy birthday to you." I should be confused as to why I'm hearing two voices but I'm not. My mom loves making surprise appearances and here she is looking beautiful and annoying as always, with her short blonde hair and big blue eyes, just like me. I remember times when people would ask if we were sisters, and by people I mean men and they'd make her blush but they'd make me mad. I love my mom but she can be embarrassing at times. There was a time I played a tree in our school play Wicked. And of course Rene was Dorothy. My mom was letting everyone in the audience know that her girls were on stage. "My daughter's the tree!" She yelled and the parents only smiled. I was so embarrassed cause it gave Santana Ruiz an opportunity to make fun of me, Rene defended me of course. She always has my back. Despite my mom's craziness my mom has my back too. I'm sure she misses my dad, I do. "Hello mom." I get up
TYRONE"Tye, wake up!" I receive a tap on my shoulder then I open my eyes. It's my mom and she looks worried. Don't tell me the hunters stroke again, I hope my dad's okay. "Mom?" I look at the digital alarm clock. "It's two am." "I know honey, I'm sorry to wake you but this is important." I groan and I sit up straight. "Come meet us in the living room, your father's there with Mrs. Lorenzo, her husband's here too. Now I'm awake. Mrs. Lorenzo? What is she doing here? And what could she possibly want? I did see her at the funeral. I saw her weirdly looking at Rene, maybe she wasn't looking at Rene, maybe she was looking at Chloe. That's why she's here, she knows Chloe wasn't born a wolf. The nerve of this woman, it's not been days since they buried my brother and she wants to add more problems. I jump out of bed and I head toward the living room. There they are, and from the looks on their faces, she has already told them, I'm in big trouble. I was Nathan's accomplice, and I didn't
