we're...what?!

why was my family in the past really weird? my family looks weird in the present but they seemed...weirder for some reason. even what my mother told me about the things they did was pretty weird. i would call myself decent but i looked like a weird gremlin until i was eleven.

i sighed as i put the book away, i had better things to do than look at old family photo's of people i never even knew. though another one of the kids kinda looked like a gremlin for a bit.

"Hope!" i heard my mother shout from outside. oh great i think its gardening day...i hate that day.

i quickly got outside, i knew i would have to help her so i just wanted to get this done. something seemed...off about her though. she herself seemed really messy, she always kept herself clean! and she just started doing it! how could she have gotten that messy.

i didn't say anything though, i never question this stuff that much. but then i noticed something...creepy. she had something red on one of her cheeks and on her arm. she couldn't have cut herself anywhere to do that...what happened??

"um mom?" i asked a bit nervously, not trying to look at her. I'm not that well when it comes to blood.

"yes dear?" if she did notice the blood, or whatever it was she probably wasn't bothered by it for some reason. but maybe she just Didn't notice it at all.

we were doing this at around six in the morning, she usually makes breakfast by this time, maybe she was cutting something and that happened. i Don't know what else it could be.

"you do...have..uh that on yourself you know that right? why?" i asked still not looking at her. Though i still knew it was there and i felt like i could puke.

"o-oh silly me!" she said startled and then quickly ran back inside the house to clean up. thank gosh...

but she didn't even answer the question, would she even answer it though when she gets back??

i decided to take this time though, and go visit with lily. mother could ask Someone else to help her do this stuff.

as i started heading to her house, i noticed that lily was already waiting at my front door. wow. i guess i didn't have to go find her.

"Heya lily when did you get here??" i asked her, i didn't know if she just got here or if she had been waiting for a while. i'd make it up to her though.

"oh don't worry i just got here, remember today's our movie today?" this was one of her favorite things to do, and to be honest i guess i could see why. Movies were always good.

we went up to my room to watch the movie, it was her day to pick it and she almost always picked the same one. the boy who cried werewolf.

"why do you always pick that?" i asked, i guess to me i still liked it but it was also getting a bit annoying of having to watch it every time.

"well, its better than twilight...every things better than twilight." she said with a small laugh.

i guess that was kind of true, i felt half and half towards twilight but i guess its because i just don't like most of the stuff in it.

"hold on, don't pause it i just gotta go to the restroom" i told her and luckily i had a bathroom in my room. one of the best things i have here.

i quickly did my things in there and began to wash my hands but then...i noticed something strange.

it looked like i had...4 sharp teeth almost like fangs? were those always there? i Don't think they were.

i looked away from the mirror and started to wipe my hands off when i noticed something again..it didn't look like i had finger nails..it looked like i had claws??

maybe i just haven't clipped my finger nails in a long time and now they were like that? i decided to keep my hands in my pockets and keep my mouth closed, hoping lily wouldn't notice.

she soon left and i looked once again. they were still there but nothing seemed to happen with them so i guess that was good.

i decided to put on my sleep clothes as by now it was getting a bit late when then OH COME ON!

i was growing a lot of hair on my arms now! i didn't see as much on my legs but this was still weird and probably bad.

"okay okay...calm down its probably nothing...i think i'll ask mom about this later..." maybe she would know whats going on? maybe this has happened with her before.

tonight there was going to be a full moon, i hope that i can get this solved before then so i can enjoy the full moon..it was my favorite thing about the night.

i decided to lay on my bed for the next few hours, hoping it would get better. I was wrong it started getting worse.

Thats it! i have to tell mom about this now! she has to know whats happening with me, who else would??

i was about to leave my room to go get her but i ended up not needing to, she came into the room and seemed shocked.

"m-mom whats going on with me...?" i have full faith that she knows what is happening...please do.

she sighed a little as she closed the door she sat me down on the bed...i realized that she kind of looked like how i was at the moment...yes!

"alright mom whats going on?? is this a weird rare condition that we get??" i was kind of shaking her but she just kind of sat there not doing anything.

"no...no it isnt honey..." she got closer and grabbed my shoulders making me look into her eyes.

"t..then what it is it...?" oh gosh this is kind of weird, why is she acting like this?

"listen...we're....werewolfs..."

i started to laugh, there was no way we could be that! werewolfs dont exist. shes just messing with me.

i looked back at her...she had this face...a face that let me know she wasn't lying.

"w-why haven't you told me?!" i asked, was i really going to turn into one?? would it hurt??

"we...thought it was over many many years ago but...then a year ago it started to happen again, we didn't know if it would happen to you or not but now we know it will..."

i had so many...mixed feelings...werewolfs and all the other things are real then i guess. how would my life be from now on? do i have to hide from hunters? oh great.

mother grabbed my hand and brought me over to the window where i felt the moon shining on me. it felt nice.

"get ready..." she whispered to me, i didn't need to ask what she meant, i already knew what it was.

my first transformation, a new feeling...a new life from now on.
