I wonder if Dora is the same as dad and if she can also turn into a wolf when she wants to. Dad also hasn't transformed in a while and I kind of miss it, to be honest. I liked looking at him in the wolf body. He was pretty and he didn't scare me for some reason.
I heard dad talking to Dora about something he had done in the past but I didn't hear everything so I don't know what it was about. All I heard is that he was glad that he was the person who had agreed to do it as he believed that it was the best and the safest option at that point in time with the information that he had available at that point in time.
I wanted to listen and maybe hear if he would talk about mom but he did not. I miss her even though I can't remember anything about her. I have this little hurt in my heart whenever I think about mum and I didn't know why. I had asked dad once and he tried to explain but I could see that he was hurting when he talked about

Dora's P.O.VAfter eating Ryder asked if I would go and help Mary get ready for bed and I gladly agreed. There was just something about this girl that drew you to her and you just wanted to be in her presence.I opened the taps and started filling it with water that felt perfect for me and as soon as I saw that she was standing there ready I motioned to ask if she would need my help and if she would be able to bathe herself. She said that she would be fine on her own but if I didn't mind she would love me sitting with her and afterward when she went to bed if I would tuck her in.I smiled and agreed. She was quite the chatterbox, talking about any subject under the sun and still making sure that I was following and not dozing off from our conversation. She really was one of a kind.After she was clean she walked out to the little living room where Ryder was watching some show on the tv. When she walked into the room he turned it of

Dora's P.O.V When I woke up I was pleasantly surprised because usually, I would have the biggest headache from all the crying that I would be doing before passing out from exhaustion. When I went into the bathroom to go and wash my face to hide the evidence I was surprised to not see any tear streaks anywhere on my face. Come to think of it I didn't remember crying last night. I must have been overwhelmed and over-exhausted with everything that had happened during the day and there was no need for any of this. I smiled to myself thinking it could also be because I was happy for once in my life seeing Ryder and Mary and being able to travel with them and not having to be alone and scared the whole time looking over my shoulder and worrying when would be my last day as a free woman. After I washed my face I went and got dressed in my clothes that were neatly placed outside my door when I opened it up this morning. I wanted to go and make some breakfast for all of us but when I ente

Ryder's P.O.VI had made good progress getting to the stall on time and being able to get all the fruits and vegetables that I had wanted to get for the next while that I stopped at a few other stalls on my way to the clothing shops that I knew Mary would have dragged Dora to. When we first arrived I had shown her the shops that we could shop at and she gave them one look and walked into the other clothing stores finding what is now her favorite dress and leggings.It's not that I cannot afford it with what the rebellion is paying me but I didn't plan on using everything each month wanting to save some for when there would be trouble or when we needed to make a fast escape like we have had to do a few times already.Putting the bags of purchases into the trunk of the car I decided that those two must have already had enough time to get clothes for Dora and that I should start heading over there to pay for the items so we could get home. I had wanted

Dora's P.O.V I woke up on the bed in the house I share with Ryder and Mary. Remembering what had happened and that they had gotten so close that I didn't have the strength to continue on scared me a little. How did they find me so fast after the last trail mix-up I left them?They should have been halfway on the other side of the world looking for me unless they have someone here that warned them that I was in town. If that were the case then I have just compromised Ryder and Mary as well because their identities would also now be tied to mine in the search and even if we go our separate ways they would still get the needed information from them if they found them. Deciding that it was maybe time to part ways with them, I tried getting out of bed to leave as soon as possible but I wasn't able to. Looking over I saw that Mary had fallen asleep next to me on the bed and that if I was to continue moving I would wake her as well, and from what I have heard from Ryder if she is woken up

Eight years laterMary's P.O.VAnother day and another new town. I was honestly getting a little tired of the constant moving but being with dad and Dora made it a little easier and the fact that Dora was actually teaching me everything that I needed to know for school and life skills meant that I did not feel out when I sneaked off to meet the friends that I managed to make in every new place we moved to. They talked about school and this subjects and those subjects and finally, I had something that I could also talk to them about in this regard.I didn't ask why we were moving anymore because the one time I asked Dora and dad heard they told me that bad men were after Dora and that they knew that dad and I were helping her and subsequently they were now after us as well. I remembered what had happened all those years ago outside that clothing store when Dora had fallen into the heap and was in such pain from them just being near her that I was a

Everything started changing. At first, it was just my smell, and touch but now it was my strength, my taste, and my moods have also seemed to increase tenfold.Dora has also seemed to notice that my body was changing and I was hoping that she would chalk it up to me becoming a woman and not think something weird is happening and ask me anything.That would be where the trouble would begin. I have tried and practiced but no matter what I do I am not able to lie to either Dora or dad successfully. Something of my eyes or brows start pinching together whenever I am lying and that gives me away almost instantly.Training with dad has also become a lot more difficult trying to hold back the strength in me to 1) not hurt dad because although he is still fit and in shape he does tend to get out of breath a lot lately and 2) I don't want him knowing whatever is wrong with me and sending me away to somewhere far where we will never see each other ever a

He was pulling and pulling and no matter what I was doing to stop him wasn't working. When I didn't want or need the super strength I knew I had it but in a case such as this where I would want it so that I could use it and get away I didn't seem to have it anymore.Something in me was telling me to not be so scared and that I had to fight back but I just wasn't able to do anything and the man had almost succeeded in pulling me to where he had wanted me.I closed my eyes not wanting to see what was going to happen, imagining myself somewhere else, anywhere else just so that I could get away from here. I don't know why but after a while when I did not feel anything and it went quiet around me I decided that I would open one eye and just take a little peak.Oh, how I wish I didn't do that. How I wish that I had just stayed there with my eyes closed until someone had come for me. How I wished I did not wish for anything bad to have happened to the

Pushing the cloth away from me to have it back on my face again I decided that it was time to tell whoever was using the cloth that they were burning the flesh from my face with the hot cloth. I opened my eyes to see the town doctor and his wife staring down at me."Honey it's ice water. It shouldn't be burning you."She put it back on my forehead and it was still burning me so I took it off and kept it in my hands so she was not able to put it back on m face again."I need to go. My dad will be worried about me."I tried getting up to try and get back to dad when I felt that my body was strapped to whatever they had me laying on."What is this? Let me go at once."They were just staring at me and not even helping me. I know dad said to not trust them and that they were weirdly interested in me when we first arrived and that had me freaked out but they stopped after a while and I thought it was just because we w

Mary's P.O.V I don't remember how long I was awake after we left, but I know it wasn't long. Car rides always made me sleepy, and in all the years, I have not once managed to stay awake long enough to see the whole trip. The calming sound of the tyres on the road just lulls me to sleep with its calming lullaby. Being shaken awake, out of my calming sense of sleep, wasn't something that I wanted. Smacking the hands away from me and murmuring for them to leave me alone also didn't seem to work because I was still shaken even after that. "Dora is picking the snacks alone, and we both know she doesn't have the best taste. You might want to go and help her." That had me awake almost immediately. She never chooses the speckled eggs and always goes for kale chips or something healthy and sugarless that has no taste at all. Smiling and eating it just to make her happy is what dad and I did, but for the last while it has been becoming increasingly more difficult. Jumping out of the car,

Ryder's P.O.V When Mary told me that she felt watched and followed from the library that had me worried already but when she told me that she had noticed the change in the attendants in some of the shops and someone told her to run I was glad that she was able to get home safely. I really want to meet that person who told her to run because I want to thank them for their help but she said that she didn't see who talked to her and that there wasn't anyone that she saw near her so she has no idea who talked to her. She mentioned that is why she said that it could have been something before she said someone. At the moment, I didn't care who or what it was, I was just really grateful that she was okay. The most important thing on my mind was to get everything packed up into the car and leave before there was the need for another fight. Mary didn't know who it was, and with that little knowledge gap she had because of me not telling her what she is and what actually exists, that could

"RUN!"I didn't have any time to think about the voice in my head because the tone of the voice just let me know that there was no space for argument and that if I didn't run I would regret it soon enough. I might not be feeling the eyes on me anymore but that didn't mean that they weren't lurking somewhere behind me. I didn't know whether I would be able to make it back home before whatever was chasing me caught up to me but I was hell-bent on getting there. Luckily I had the recently acquired speed on my side helping me zoom past everything faster than I have ever thought of running. I thought where would be the safest to stop and try and get into the house because I didn't want to struggle with the extremely solid front door that took forever to push open and I didn't leave any windows open when I left not thinking that I would need to make a quick entry into the house. Exiting the town square and entering the little clearing where the house is located I was so glad to see that

Mary's P.O.VWaking up I got the pendant out again fully intending to find out exactly what it was and what it means. I was hoping this would help me to be able to retrace my steps of last night and find out what had happened and in whose blood I was covered. I didn't want to let my imagination sore and think of random possibilities and scenarios because each one that I had come up with was more gruesome than the previous one and to be honest I was making myself both sick and scared.I didn't want to take it to Dory or dad because I didn't have a story to tell them about where I had gotten it and I didn't even have the energy to be creative enough to make up a story of how I had happened to get it into my possession. I had a feeling that telling them that I had picked it up on the street would not suffice and that they would not buy that story.Full well intending to go to the library and see what I could find out about the pendant, I had started my

Unknown's P.O.VWe had just finished dinner and were walking back to my place where I had plans for the lovely lady that was so willing to accompany me on this date tonight. Little did she know that she would not be seeing her beloved cat again after I am finished with her.Taking them out for dinner and getting the drunk and soft makes it easier for me. Also, you know slipping something into a drink here and there has also never hurt anybody, well except for the girls of course. Blood from a willing victim just tastes so much better than blood from someone struggling. The fear that courses through it just adds a weird aftertaste that I have learned that I do not care to taste when I need to refill my energy levels.I mean I could always just use my powers of persuasion on them, drink my full and let them go with them not remembering anything but where is the fun in doing that? I have more than just hunger needs that I have to fulfil and in any case

Mary's P.O.V I didn't think that I had missed as much as I had missed while I was out but by listening to the story that Dora was telling me I did in fact miss a lot. We were even at the second location since the attack that dad was sidestepping the whole time. To be honest I felt better than what I remember feeling the last time with the doctor and his wife. I don't feel so scared and weak as I did with them and since I woke up on my own without the screams ringing through the whole room meant that hopefully, the nightmares would also not be present this time. Maybe it was the fact that I was older and understood more of what was going on in the world or maybe because in my heart I had started making peace with the fact that I was not normal and that the other people in my family were also not normal. I mean my dad can turn into a werewolf at will and Dora has this weird relationship with plants and little creatures. She also collapses when peopl

Dora's P.O.V Ryder left to go and make sure that there would be no werewolves here that would cause us trouble before he signed the lease for the house he had gotten us. The fact that we would only be able to occupy it in a few days because the owner said she was still getting it ready for renters was making me uneasy. I mean Ryder said that he had booked this place a while ago when he was working out the plan ahead of time so she knew there were people coming here to rent it so she could have made sure that she had it all ready before now. I just found it strange that she didn't make sure that the place would be done and ready when she had gotten the rent request from Ryder and accepted it from her side. It made me suspicious and I shared these with Ryder before he left and he said that he would check it out and make sure before we jumped to any conclusions. I agreed but that didn't mean that I would sit back and let him do everything on his own. I had my own ways of finding out i

I honestly don't know what I did to anger the moon goddess because she did not listen to my prayers. We had not gotten far away before the three were on our tails again. This time, they weren't being safe around Mary anymore, and they were doing whatever they felt was necessary to get her from the car. I didn't have the time to look back and make sure that she was safe and not scared out of her mind because one wrong move on my part could send us all to an early grave, if not lifelong imprisonment. They had shifted and were chasing us in their wolf forms, bumping against the car every once in a while, biting at the tyres making me swerve before getting back control. I could barely keep the car on the road as it was but with the nipping and everything, they were making it a lot more challenging to keep it steady. Just when it looked like they were backing off, one of them managed to get a good enough bite into the tyre and have it run flat. Not being able to continue with the flat

Ryder's P.O.V Hearing the crunching leaves and breaking branches alerted us that someone was coming and that they were coming fast. I knew it was not the people after Dora because she would have been incapacitated by now with how close they were to us. I knew it had to be either the rebellion or the royal guard. I didn't want Dora or Mary to be here to find out who it was along with me, so I had them go along to the car for so long. I could see Mary struggling to listen to me, and I had to force her gently to go along with Dora to the car, but it is for the best and for her best. If they would find her here with me they would have dragged her back after they had killed me and Dora and made her do their bidding if it was the rebellion and if it was the royal guard they would have done the same except they would not have dragged her back but they would have taken her back to her parents if they were still alive. After she had disappeared, they had closed off, and nobody had seen them i
