Chapter 5

When I saw the house it wasn't as big as I had imagined. But it was big and look nice from the outside. I saw a light on in the house and saw a dark silhouette by the window.

"That's probably Gray waiting for me," Ash said as he opened the driver door.

"Who's Gray?" I asked him.

"He is someone like you. I too saved him from a orphanage like yours and promised him a safe home," he said getting out of the drivers seat.

"Are there any more people here?"

"Yes, me and you," he said with a laugh as he shut the door. I gave a him a small laugh even though I didn't find it that funny. As I got out of the truck I was hit with a ice cold chill.

"Here take this before you catch a cold," Ash said as he was handing me a sweater. It was a bit big on me but it was warmer than the stupid uniform I was wearing. We walked up the the front door of the house and the door opened and someone was standing there holding it open for us.

"You must be Kizzy, I'm Gray. But Ash probably told you that already," he said putting his hand on his head. I looked at him and noticed he had short black hair and very unique yellow green eyes. I have never seen anyone with those color of eyes before.

I gave him a small smile and walked into the house. When I did I got a big whiff of a strange smell.

"Do you guys have a dog?" I asked them. But before they could answer me a huge wolf like dog came running down the hall. It stared at me for a bit before approaching me and letting me pet him. As I pet him I realized he was half wolf and half husky.

"His name is Cujo. But not because he kills people, but because of his size," Gray told me.

I gave a small laugh and continued to pet Cujo. He rolled over on his back so I could pet his stomach.

"Kizzy have a seat, we have to tell you some stuff that you should know," Ash said gesturing to to living room.

I got up from petting Cujo and sat on the small couch facing where Ash was sitting.

"So, what do we have to talk about?" I asked him.

"We have to talk about why you were in that place I saved you from," he said.

"I was put there because my parents died while they were going out for there date," I told him.

"Did anyone tell you how they died?" He asked me.

"No."

"Your parents weren't going on a date. They only told you that because you were young at the time and they loved you too much to tell you the truth. To tell you that they weren't coming back," he said with sadness in his voice. "They were going to see a guy who they had made a deal with."

"What kind of deal?" I asked sounding worried.

"There no easy way to explain this, but when a werewolf gives birth someone will come to you and give you a deal. The deal allows your family's safety for a certain amount of time until it is time to give your end of the deal. For your parents it was four years," he said. "The deal they made was to have four years with you before they were to be killed so you could go to that orphanage."

I sat there in shock and in disbelief. There was just so many things told to me that sounds all made up.

"So your telling me that my parents were werewolves, and I'm their werewolf child? And when you have a child you only get a certain amount of years with them before you have to go and die so there child can go and live in a shitty orphanage," I said raising my voice. "Why should I believe you? I don't know who you are, but you sure know a hell of a lot about my parents."

"Your father and me hadn't seen each other in eight years. But when he found out you were going to be born he called me and asked me to hunt down this dealer and kill him," he said rubbing his face with his hands. "They wanted to live and have a forever family with you, but I failed to find this guy. You may not know me Kizzy, but I am family. I'm your uncle."

I looked at him with shock, but I didn't say anything. I just stared at him, making eye contact.

"Did my parents know about this orphanage?" I asked him.

"That place isn't an orphanage. Trust me, I was there for a few years until Ash saved me. The stuff I saw still gives me nightmares," Gray said standing behind Ash.

"What is it then?"

"It's where werewolves kids go after their parents die to get experimented on," Ash said. He looked at me straight in my eyes. "That's why your friend was adopted so they could test her and see what effect she would have with the full moon. But the experiment failed and she ended up killing both of those people. I'm sorry to say this Kizzy, but since it was a failed experiment they would have to kill her."

I looked at him with horror. I felt my eyes start to tear up.

"So my friend is dead? All because those people are doing experiments on us and killing them all because they failed? Do the kids know they are werewolves? Or will they too have to suffer the same fate as Jane did?" I asked him as tears came down my face as I said my friends name.

"No. No one knows what they actually are," he said.

I looked down at my feet and put my hands on my head. I saw the tears fall to the floor and land by my feet. All that was running through my head was how I shouldn't have left my friend behind to let her die. But I knew no matter what they would get her and bring me with her. I wiped the tears from my face and looked back up at Ash.

"So when you transform into a werewolf, does it involve a lot of sweating?" I asked him.

"Yes. But that's only the first stage. You haven't fully transformed yet, the sweating is the first stage, and the rest of the stages are more painful to deal with. But after a while you will get used to it," Ash said trying to make it not sound as bad as it did. "It's pretty late and you must be tired. We will talk more tomorrow after you had a good nights rest."

He lead me upstairs into a room. It had a actual bed with sheets and fluffy pillows. And no bars on the window. There were clean clothes sitting on the end of the bed. Ash told me that those were now my pajamas and didn't have to wear the u uniform anymore. He left my room and closed the door. I put on the pajamas and fell in love with them. They were much warmer and comfier than those uniforms.

I took a look at the bed and was impressed with how big it was. I sat on it and it sunk down. The beds I was sleeping on for twelves years never did that. I got into the sheets and looked up at the ceiling. I cleared my head before closing my eyes, trying not to cry anymore. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.
