WHO'S KNOCKING

Betty POV:

 "Mum," I said, rushing to hug her.

 "You are back, where is dad?" I asked, letting my eyes look around, looking for dad.

 "And where is that beautiful miss Betty that loves misses her dad" Dad said playfully with a huge candy in his hands.

 "Common dad, you're old for this" I said, hugging him.

 "Ughhh, you guys are forgetting that I exist when hugging each other " she said, coming to join the hug.

 It's so cozy and warm to finally have your family around you,yuuno. That feeling can't be found anywhere else. Home is love.

 "So how was school" my dad said, breaking the hug, stating a tete-a-tete.

 "School is fine and less boring" I smiling while eating my candy 

 "Mmmmmm? look who's in high spirits today huh?, tell me honey, what happened at school. I need the biggest gist ever.

 "What mum" I said walking away from her, while she followed me from behind grinning happily.

 "Less boring?, says someone who always says daddy, that school is boring. I need to leave that school daddy. Isn't it obvious honey that something is wrong with her".

 After a few minutes of contemplating whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon, mom's hungry ears, waiting to pounce on any word from my mouth. I breathed out deeply.

 "So, there is this guy at school…"

 "Wawww" dad chipped "I know it's about a guy"

 "I knew that this is definitely the biggest gist , thank goodness for making me witness this" my mom said giggling like a nine year old girl that was rewarded with an ice cream. I guess that is what happens when you get yourself between two over dramatic parents.

 "Sooo, he is cute and incredibly handsome" I said blushing.

 "Hmmm" mom said, her ears turning red.

 "Ummm, so we met for a while and he helped me out with my book, and then I like him".

 "Ohhh, good lord. What kind of charm did he use on my beloved daughter? "Dad said, making me embarrassed.

 "Dad"

 "I hear you, clear as a bell honey" he answered smiling.

 "Ohh Zubi, stop taunting the innocent girl " mum said, scolding him while looking at me eagerly, her eyes nearly swallowing me .

 "And then, what else?" She continued asking

 "Nothing, he asked if we could meet later at the cafeteria".

 "Oh My Fucking God" mom exclaimed, going ape.

 "You said what baby?" She asked again

 "He wants us to meet at the school cafeteria later"

 "When?,How?, Where? What clothes do you plan to wear to go meet him? She asked practically dragging me upstairs.

 ",whoo. Hold on Mrs Alicia, we have not concluded on that yet".

 "What the heck!!" Dad's voice came from the storage room. Looks like he's upset. "What did you do again Becky?", I asked myself .

 "What happened honey" mum ask looking at me as we hurried to find out what him shouted

 Gosh it was the window I forgot to replace. "You are so stupid Betty" I said to myself .

 "Betty" mom and dad said sternly, looking at me accusingly.

 "Uhmm, I was cleaning the house when I accidentally hit a chair ... .the cushion exactly" I said hoping my lie would make some sense.

 "Ohhh you know that's a fat lie young lady" dad said not smiling. He hates seeing his furniture broken.

 "Ohh dad" I sighed. "I changed mom, I changed last week".

 "Change as in what honey" mom asked, holding my hands curiosity getting a hold of her 

 "I turned into a wolf last week, on Saturday" I said with my head bowed.

 "Oh my God " mom said, falling on the ground. She couldn't bear the news, so did dad. Dad on the other side was stunned.

 "What do we do now honey" mom said, holding dad's hands, tears flowing from her face. I advertently triggered that helpless mode on them, turning off the happy mode just now.

 "Mom and dad," am sorry, I said bowing my head.

 "Ohhh, don't blame yourself honey, it is not your fault or anyone's, we can only blame fate". Mum said, hugging me. 

 "Yes dear, it was never your fault. You're created out of the love between your father and I . If you blame yourself for this situation we find ourselves in already, then you're indirectly calling us incompetent".

 " Am sorry mom",I never meant to say that". I apologized again, this time, I couldn't control the tears.

 "But mom, why is fate so cruel? Am I really bad luck?Why can I live happily like others?Am I really a burden to you and daddy?That is why I had no friends , right?

Why…"

 "Shhhh, who told you that? You're a package blessed to me, to your dad, to the world. It's just that they're too blinded to see what value you have". Mom said consoling me.

 " Bebette" daddy called me, he rarely calls me by my name

 "Listen sweetie, you are strong, beautiful, brave, smart,most powerful. You are one of a kind. You are a gem and nobody will take that from you . You are everything a parent could ever ask for.

 "You are unstoppable, I hope that one day, you will show the world what you are made of. Make them believe. You are all they will ever wish for, a body uniting legendary enemies"

 "Ohh dad, you should run for presidency cause you can win a lot of hearts with your talk" I said smiling.

 "Guess that's how you convinced mom to marry you"

 "Yea, and the young should refuse me" dad proudly chipped 

 "Now, we need to be extra careful in hiding you, what you are honey. This change will trigger both the vampires and wolves alike, causing them to sense when you hide your smell. Dada said seriously ,going to the cupboard.

 Here, you are to apply this on your body and hair everyday, It'll conceal your true identity from them. I got it from a sorcerer a few decades ago . He said, giving me a huge container.

 " Ok , I'll go have my bath and apply this," I said , raising the container.

 " Yes sweetie, mom said smiling "

 Almost immediately, mom and dad looked towards the door anxiously. 

 Someone knocked fiercely on the door…
