Chapter18
Jonathan shyly pulled away and scratched the back of his neck, but soon regained his concerned expression.
“Kiddo, care to tell us who did this to you? And why were you alone? Where’s Max?“, Jonathan’s voice was full with love and worry for this woman. They obviously were acquainted, and did she just call him “Uncle“? Am I still dreaming? I exhaled slowly, then rubbed my eyes with both hands, then opened them again – they were still there. I then pinched my arm, and nothing changed, except that I think I just bruised myself.
“The rogues.” Said the woman. “They appeared out of nowhere. I think there were 5 of them, Max fought 2 of them off, but the third got away, so I told him to follow and try sniffing out as much as he could. I stayed with the 2 other rogues. I killed them both, but one managed to poke me with a freaking stick, then I decided to go to you, cause you know, the new doc lives with you now, who by the way looks like she’s going to freak out any second now“, she said with an amused smile looking me right in the eyes. It was just then I realized, that at some point she turned to look at me and I saw the same bright eyes that the wolf had. The room went quiet as a grave. Jonathan and Shirley turned their heads towards me and eyed me cautiously.
“Sweetheart…“, Shirley said quietly and gently. “Breathe, darling.“, she said with a warm smile and took a small step towards me. I turned to look at her slowly as in a daze. I let out a long breath and then inhaled through my nose. Than exhaled through my mouth again. That should calm me down, right? My mind was blank, my eyes huge.
“Emily…“, this time it was Jonathan. He also took a cautious step towards me. “How are you feeling, darling?“, he said softly.
“I–i… I–i… Uhm…“, damn, where are my words? But what can I say? A wolf turned into a woman and nobody except me was surprised. I turned to the butt naked woman right in front of me, and she still had that amused smile on her face, her eyes held a spark of laughter, she was clearly enjoying the sight of me looking like a complete fool.
“Just rip off the band aid, uncle!“, she said and smirked again.
I felt the couch dip on both sides of me, Jonathan was now sitting on my left, and Shirley on my right, both were holding my hands. I looked first in his eyes, then turned to her.
“Sweetheart, we are werewolf’s, and you just saved our nieces life.“, said Shirley and gave me a worried look.
“Werewolf’s…“, I whispered totally shocked. I mean, wouldn’t you
be?
“Yes, dear, werewolf’s.“, confirmed Jonathan with the same look in his eyes. Chapter18

“Werewolf’s…“, I repeated again.
“Yeah, girl, werewolf’s!“, chimed the woman on the table. “You know, the ones like in the movies, people that shift into wolfs.“, she laughed. “Priceless…“, apparently it was my facial expression.
“There are some scrubs in the closed for you to get dressed…” I whispered quietly, to which Shirley chuckled, Jonathan looked down with a hint of redness to his cheeks, but the girl started laughing hysterically.
“Are you fo’real?“, she screamed, wiping tears from her eyes “We just told you that you live in a were town, and you just send me to get dressed?“, her laughter was so contagious, that I started laughing with her.
“Werewolf’s!” I screamed out in between of my laughter attacks. I probably looked like crazy, well, at least that’s what I read from both Shirley’s and Jonathan’s faces each time I turned to look at them, and each time it seemed to fuel my laughter outburst. But the girl seemed to genuinely enjoy my reaction.
Soon I got tired of laughing and an uncomfortable silence settled in once again. I was yet again staring at everyone wide eyed.
“Sooo….” I began, but stopped, because I didn’t really know what to say.
Shirley patted my hand and started talking veeeeery calmly.
“Sweetheart. I know, that this might seem strange to you and even crazy, but believe me, this is
real. We are werewolf’s.” I looked at her suspiciously and strangely I believed her. I mean, I just saw with my own eyes, how this woman emerged from a wolf’s body.
“You are werewolf’s…“, I repeated like a parrot.
“Yes, dear, we all are werewolf’s.“, said Jonathan in a soft voice.
I looked at him for a few seconds, and then it hit me – did someone say “a town of wolfs” or something?
“Wait…“, I said a bit confused. “What do you mean by all of you?”
“Girl, this whole town is were, basically you’re the only human here!“, said the girl happily swaying her feet from the table and smiling widely.
“Everyone?“, I continued with my parrot routine. “Everyone, like Hannah and Doc Evans?…”
“Yup!“, she said popping the P.
“Wow…“, was all I could say.
