Alana

After the triplets dropped me back home, it was already time for dinner. "I'm home!"I walked through the front door and locked it behind me. "We're at the dining room table."Mom called. I washed my hands in the kitchen sink and sat at the table. It seems like everyone was staring at me. Even the baby. Oh golly. What now?

"So... how did it go?" Mother smiled while feeding Jaden his mashed potatoes.

"You mean the tour? It went well."I started to put roast beef on my plate.

"Yes. Was it fun?"She asked.

"Yea. It was pretty cool." I nodded.

"Are they like you?"Father asked.

I raised an eyebrow. "You mean werewolf? I don't know."I shrugged.

"Allie, is it true that Lukas likes you? Because there's a girl in my class called Kira Tate that says her older brother Jacob says so." Allen said after gulping down his food.

"What?!" I tilted my head trying to understand what just flew out of his mouth.

"Basically a girl's older brother says that Lukas you."He grinned.

Mom, Dad, and Jaden all looked at me. I immediately wanted to disappear.

"The little punk I oughtta bite him."Eris growled.

You and me both.

"Who is Lukas, Alana?"Father asked putting his fork down.

Oh great he put his fork down. He's about to get all serious and fatherly. We go through this every time a guy other than Roxas is mentioned.

"Lukas is my classmate. Along with his brother and sister." I mumbled.

"Isn't this the same Lukas that showed you around town?" He crossed his arms.

"Yes, it's the same Lukas that showed me around town.... along with his brother and sister." I said in a flat tone.

"You know what A-" He started before I cut him off.

"Alright. Conversation is over."I stood up from the table.

"But you just got here. Where are you going?" Mum looked at me.

"For a walk. In the woods behind the house. I'm going to follow the creek." I walked towards the back door.

"But it's dark out there."she warned.

"I can see in the dark. I'll be fine." I opened the door and walked out.

"This is the perfect idea. Run through the forest in an unknown territory."

I'll be alright . This isn't unknown territory... probably. We were living in Florida once upon a time.

"That was when we were four. That was ages ago. And when we were accompanied by your real parents.... so.... this is a bad idea."

I hesitated for a moment. Maybe she's right. This is a bad idea..... I just stood facing the woods looking at the unknown darkness that lies ahead.

"Oh my gosh! Are you actually listening to me?! I didn't mean for that to happen?! Go venture into the wilderness!" She urged me.

I decided to shift and started to smell my surroundings, trying to get accustomed to the land until my paw sunk into a huge hole. I looked down at it. Whoa....

"That's not a hole. That's a bloody pawprint!" Eris exclaimed.

So there are other werewolves out here. Because Florida has coy wolves which are coyotes but no wolves. Wolves don't exist here!

Yea.... we should turn back. These prints are huge. I don't wanna get hit with these. I said turning around until I heard the sound of a twig snap behind me. This isn't good.

"Don't move." A deep voice said behind me.

"You should've listened to me." Eris said in an annoyingly sing-song voice.

Shut up! I did listen to you look at where we're at now! I growled.

"Shift now!"He barked.

"Um.... I don't think that's a good idea." thought.

"I don't care if you think that's a good idea or not! I said shift now!" He raised his voice.

Good thing I was standing in the shadows, but shifting back to normal makes me feel very uncomfortable... due to the fact that I'm naked in front of a guy. Naked......

"Turn around so I can see you." He said.

Lukas

I waited for her to turn around, whoever she is. She stood up, but all I could see was her glowing eyes.

"Come out where I can see you." I said with crossed arms

"I don't think that's possible. So my answer is no. I'm definitely not wearing the proper attire to step into the light." She said standing awkwardly in the shadows attempting to cover herself up.

"At least show your face in the light. I don't have time for this." I was getting irritated by this girl.

"Then go ahead and let me leave. I won't come back." She said looking away.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that. You're intruding on our land. I'm only going to say this once more. Show your face!"I yelled.

She jumped back in shock at how loud I yelled. Then she stepped forward into a sliver of moonlight that only her face. OH MY GAWD!

"ALANA?!" I yelled.

She gave a sheepish smile and gave a small wave. "Well... hello there, mate." She said quietly.

"You're a werew- oh my gosh! You're right here! One of us and-" I studied her and came to the sudden realization that she is completely bare and immediately felt my cheeks flush. "And... I have you standing there like that... here take my shirt." I quickly took it off and handed it to her.

"Thanks...." she said quietly putting it on.

"Hey... your dream came true... she's a werewolf." Ryker said excitedly.

I know.... I still have a chance now.

"Oh my goodness! I can't believe it! You're a werewolf!"I smiled.

"Yup... been one for... forever."she gave a half-smile.

"By the way.. I'm like so completely and utterly sorry for like having you to stand out here like this an' all. This is very awkward... oh my glob and now I'm rambling on and o-"

"Shhh... it's okay. You didn't know it was me... I wasn't expecting any one to know for a while." She cut me off quickly.

"Wait... does your family know? Know that you're... you?" I asked.

"Of course. Can't hide that forever." She said in a "duh tone" like I was supposed to know that.

"Wow... all human family... How does that work?" I looked at her.

"Like.... any normal day? Is it supposed to be different?"She asked sounding very unsure.

"Actually, I don't know!" I said with a smile. "But what I do know is that you need to get home before the patrol crew comes around. They don't treat intruders nicely."

"Oh... right.. thanks for your shirt... and yea.." She said turning around to walk away.

"About tomorrow! You can bring both of your brothers! We're going to the park!" I called after her.

"Thanks!" She disappeared into the shadows and she was gone.

Well.... that wasn't awkward at all.

"I swear you two bring awkward to a whole new level." Ryker said with a hint of amusement.

The Next Morning

Alana

"Alana. Get up."

"Why do I have to get up it's a Saturday." I grumbled pulling the covers over my head

"You have someone here to see you." Allen said.

"Who would be here to see me?" I sat up rubbing my eyes.

"Why don't you get up and come see?" He said with a smirk.

I just stared at him as he walked out of my room. I stretched and placed my feet on the cool wood floor, causing me to shudder. I know I look like crap right now, but I don't care. I shrugged it off and quietly walked out into the hallway, listening.

"You three are from her school?" I heard father ask.

"Yes, sir. We all share the same classes." I heard Aaliyah's voice.

I slowly made my way down the stairs to get a good look at them. They all stood in a semicircle around my parents. Then Jaden crawled up the stairs.

"Ana.Ana." he cooed smiling grabbing onto my leg. I shushed him and picked him up.

"Quiet you, I'm trying to be secretive." I whispered. But all those the dreams of being secretive were out of the window when the last stair creaked. Bloody hell! They all turned in my direction. I froze on the spot. I came to the sudden realization that walking downstairs in a tank top and rainbow unicorn pajama shorts was not the best idea.

"You think." Eris said sarcastically.

I huffed and stood there......awkwardly..... with most likely a dumb expression .

"Good morning, I see you're just waking up, huh?" Markus smiled.

I bashfully rubbed behind my head and grinned. "Yea... just.... just woke up..." I nodded awkwardly

"Come on get yourself ready. It's time to go hon. Your adorable brothers already are." Aaliyah put her hands on her hips.

"Okay... getting ready... got it." I rushed into my room.

Lukas

We stood there awkwardly under the fierce scrutiny of her father. And I feel he was especially giving Markus and I a dark glare. I shoved my hands into my pockets and tried very hard to avoid his gaze. Please hurry up Alana. I can't take this anymore. Then we all looked towards the stairs when we heard footsteps. She came down wearing a regular black shirt and black Addida joggers. She had her hair flipped to one side and she wore those cute black square framed glasses.

"Bye Dad! Love you." she smiled walking with us with her baby brother in her arms and Allen walking beside her.

"You be safe." He looked at her sternly.

"You don't have to worry about me." She smirked at him. I saw a flash of glowing yellow eyes.

"What's the name of this park, guys?"Allen asked.

"Something so elaborate! Oak Ridge Park!" I said with jazz hands.

"Wow.... so original." He said sarcastically.

"Ana. Ana." Jaden tried pulling on her necklace.

"Di-did you need a stroller for him or something?" I looked at her.

She placed the baby on his feet and he kept a tight grip on her two fingers. "No, he hates strollers. He... breaks them.." she said quietly. He let out an excited squeal and took off at a dash. She took two steps and scooped him up in her arms. "Back in the arms you go." She kissed his fat cheeks. He kicked his legs in protest and tried to wriggle out of her grasp.

"How far is the park?"Allen asked.

"You ask a lot of questions... don't you?" Mark looked at him with an aggravated expression.

"That's not even the half of it. If you let him he'll talk more." Alana rolled her eyes.

"Great. We have another Markus."Aaliyah rolled her eyes.

"I AM NOTHING LIKE HIM!" Both Markus and Allen yelled.

"Yea.... nothing alike....." Alana muttered.

I suddenly felt the hairs on my neck stand on end like someone was watching us. I looked around but saw nothing but trees and hear the rustle of leaves as the air moved through them. Something is definitely not right. Maybe I should take them back home. I would hate for them to get hurt. shaking off the feeling, I looked at Alana who was studying me. "What?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Something's wrong? You reek of worry." She put Jaden back down.

I chuckled. "Nothing's wrong Alana...." I even lied to myself when I said that. If I can't even fool myself, I most probably did not fool her.

She crossed her arms and pursed her lips. "You're lying and I can tell. What's wrong?" She said catching up to Jaden who tried to make another mad dash.

"Do you ever feel like someone is watching you?" I looked at her then at the surrounding area.

"All the time... what's so different about now?" She picked Jaden up.

Then there was this painful high-pitched noise. Jaden, Alana, Aaliyah, Markus, and I covered our ears.

"That's what's different!" I yelled.
