Interrogation

I sat in Aunt Arista's office staring at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. Nuri sat beside me, her leg bouncing up and down from nerves. What was I supposed to say? How would I get out of this? Lila could very well lose her life and then everything we did would have been for nothing.

"Do you think she'll tell our parents? I can't get grounded again! This will be my second time in a month" Nuri groaned. Rolling my eyes I looked towards the door. Aunt Arista would be in here any minute.

"Nuri... we have to come up with something. Lila could die today.... we can't let Wesley go down for this either" I whispered already deep in my thoughts. I had to come up with an explanation as to how I knew Lila. But this was going to prove difficult, we also needed to explain why she was hiding in the first place.

"Why don't we say she's from the neighboring pack? We'll say she ran away from home" Nuri said snapping her fingers.
