Chapter Six - I'm not human

Layna went home and contemplated on all that had happened that day. Lorenzo returned later and was a bit miffed at Layna for leaving school is without telling him.

"That was very irresponsible Layna.... May and I searched for you everywhere only for mum to call me and tell me that you were already back ...

that you were at home"

Layna pursed her lips tight and lowered her head, twisting her fingers.

Evangelyn said,

"Alright that's enough! Your sister is already feeling bad... Don't make it worse... Go upstairs and freshen up, I'll call you both for dinner"

Layna picked her bag from the couch and slung it over her shoulder then walked up the stairs, her back view giving off a lonely feel.

Evangelyn sighed and turned to Liam,

"Don't be so hard on your sister... She seems to be going through a rough time lately and you kids have your own thoughts now ... She no longer confides in me like she used to..... You guys are closer in age ... You should be able to understand her more"

"I understand mum" Lorenzo said standing

"Don't be hard on yourself either honey... "

"I know mum" he said kissing her cheek then went upstairs.

Lorenzo stood outside Layna's room for a while then knocked on the door. When he didn't get a reply for awhile he panicked and rushed in just to see Layna coming out of the bathroom looking as pale as a sheet of paper. Her irises were gold and her canines had elongated into fangs.

He gasped and shut the door behind him. Layna on the other hand looked horrified that he had seen her.

"Enzo..." She whispered

"Is this some sort of costume?" He asked with a strange tone as even he did not believe what he had just asked

Layna broke down and started crying. She sat on her bed and buried her face in her hands.

"I'm not human... I'm not human Enzo"

Lorenzo crouched to her level and embraced her.

"It's okay... Whatever it is... We'll sort it out"

After a while of crying Layna sat up and looked at Lorenzo. Her eyes were swollen from all the crying. She explained all that transpired that day to him.

"Son of a bitch! He tried to rape you!! We're calling the cops"

"That's barely the point" she sighed

"Really?! He... The imbecile... My God!! If it weren't for the bitc.... I mean Morgan I can't imagine... Oh my God" he ran a hand through his hair

"You seem to dislike him... You know, Morgan"

"Ah... I don't know... He seems hmm ... Slutty, like a fox"

"Hehe" she chuckled

"Can't believe you still have it in you to laugh... Morgan is a vampire?"

"Yes"

"And you're a werewolf?"

"Yes"

"Then what am I? A witch?"

"I'm not joking Enzo"

"I know.... So does this mean our parents are werewolves? I mean you're their daugh..."

"They're not my parents"

Lorenzo's jaw literally dropped.

"What?!"

"I felt no bloodline connection with mum today... There was also no scent on her... She's human... They're both humans"

Lorenzo was shocked. He was at the age of remembering things when he was adopted. He remembered Layna dressed in a lovely green gown smiling at him and giving him candy. Although the Whytes showered him with as much love they showed Layna he'd always felt like he wasn't part of the family since he was adopted and not really their blood.

"How is ... You were adopted too?!" He shouted

"Stop shouting "

"Well this is shocking " he whisper yelled

"I don't know what I'm gonna do... "

"How many people know that you're a werewolf?"

"Morgan..."

Lorenzo cut her off, "people Layna..."

"I think... Richard knows .... Kinda..." She whispered

"Okay... Well we have to figure out a way to shut him up"

"You want to kill him?!"

Lorenzo sat back on a chair, he raised one eyebrow

"Look who's shouting..."

Layna looked exasperated

"I wasn't talking about killing him but a threat should do it... Or ..." He looked at her with shining eyes

"Can't you make him lose his memory? You know wipe it with magic "

Layna stared at him like he was an idiot.

"Try and recall all the supernatural movies you've watched... Which werewolf has the ability to wipe a person's memory?!"

"That's true " he replied awkwardly "but vampires do" he said looking at Layna

"Morgan " she muttered

Then they heard a knock,

"Layna dear... Come down for dinner"

Layna's eyes widened and she looked at Lorenzo who was also panicking.

She rushed to the door and leaned against it,

"I'm coming" she said

"I wonder why Enzo isn't answering the door... Don't forget to call your brother" Evangelyn said and walked downstairs.

"You can't go down looking like this" Enzo said the moment their mum left

"You think I don't know that? Okay let me try and um..... Retract you vile fangs"

Lorenzo "..."

"What the fuck are you doing?" He asked

"I don't know what else to do"

"Try calming down... They're a part of you so they'll listen to you... Like the way you control your hands just try controlling them"

Layna sat down and took a deep breath. Slowly the fangs retreated and when she opened her eyes they were back to their original green color. Lorenzo heaved a sigh of relief. He leaned against her shoulder as they walked downstairs,

"I've never been so happy to see your eyes"

Layna glanced at him and ignored his bullshit.

Evangelyn was happy to see them on good terms again.

"Alright come and sit "

She kept piling food in Lorenzo's plate making him helpless and Layna jealous.

"Mum..." Lorenzo sighed "the food is already enough "

"That's true... It's like a little mountain and you didn't put any for me"

Evangelyn patted Lorenzo gently,

"Oh honey ... It's good to eat more... You're so skinny... Girls like muscular men... Maybe that's why you're still single " she muttered and added more food to his plate much to his chagrin.

"Eat more dear"

Evangelyn had noticed that Lorenzo had subconsciously estranged himself from them, he hadn't considered himself as part of the family and she was saddened and blamed herself for spending so much time with Layna.

"Mum..." Layna wheedled

"Eat properly!" Evangelyn scolded while Layna pouted so hard an oil bottle could be placed on her lips.

Enzo chuckled and placed some meat on her plate,

"Here..."

A smile appeared on Layna's face like a flower
