What is this? People who know about werewolves. They lived hundreds of years before me.

The bell rings. I close the book abruptly and put it in my bag. I hurry home, curious to find out what else the book has to say. Who did the diary belong to? And how did it get in the library? It didn't have a sticker, so it's not a book from the library itself. How is it possible that the book fell if no one was there? It can't be a coincidence that just when I get introduced to this magical world, I suddenly find a diary from people who also found out about werewolves. Who put it there?

When I get home my mother, sister and brother are already there. Grace is going to the mall tonight with Agus. Celly draws at his table, I sit down next to him to do my homework. When I'm done, I go upstairs. I sit on my beanbag and look through my room. I have the biggest bedroom. My mom wanted to sleep up stares and my sister said I could have the room so that how I ended up with this room. Everything is white, my walls, bookcases, bedsheets, and desk. only the accessories are black like my mirrors and window frames. I like it this way, my room always seems clean and peaceful. My bookcases are full of books, school reports, sketch blocks, and photo albums. I walk to my closet and take out the first album. The albums are sorted by time. So in the first album, I was just a baby. I walk back to my beanbag and open it. On the first page, it says:
Cira Badal

They wrote it on a sticker and put it over the original text, first there written: Cira Conoscenza, my dad's name.

My mother wanted all her children to have the same last name, so we all have her name. I and my siblings don't have the same father. If you really pay attention you will notice it. Their skin color is slightly lighter and their hair is too. I have black wavy hair and they have brown straight hair. I always straiten my hair so people will notice it less.
My mother got Grace when she was 22 years old with her high school love, Sem. Sem was not really a father. He left my mother within a year and she had to do everything alone. Then my mother got to know another man. He was very sweet and really took care of my mother and sister. His name was Sandro Conoscenza, my father. A year after I was born, he died during the war. My mother was very sad. She then went back to her first husband and got Celly. Celly was not really planned. Sem has left my mother behind... again. I know my mother really regrets it, that she went back to him. Of course, she is happy that she got Celly. My sister and I really don't like Sem. He has never been there for Grace or Celly.

I really don't care for him, I'm glad he is not my father. I continue looking through the pages. There are many pictures of my mother in here from when she was pregnant and when she has me in her hands after giving birth. I stop when I see one particular foto. In the foto, you see my father holds me in his arms and smiles at me with tears in his eyes. He was a handsome, friendly smile and curly hair, that how I got my wavy hair. He is quite big from his training for the army of course. He looks very happy. I don't know anything about my father. Mt mom never wants to talk about him. We only talked about him ones, when I was six and asked where my father is. My mother explained the story to me. I didn't really understand it back then but later on, I started wondering more about how my life would be if I had known him. There are so many things I would like to know about him, but I don't ask those questions and try not to think about it.

Probably because I know my mom doesn't want to talk about him and I don't want to feel the sorrow and loss.

"Cira, you can come, eat," my mother calls. I quickly close the album and put it back in the closet. I stand in front of my mirror and wipe away the tear that rolls down my cheek. After dinner, the bell rings, on the way up I open the door. It is Agus who comes to pick up Grace to go to the mall.

"Hey," he says.

"Hi," I say and take a step so that he can come in. He looks at my ankle and then frowns. I already explained to my mother and sister that my ankle hurts much less. They quickly leave.

I watch TV with my mother and brother. I read my brother a story before he has to sleep. I got back downstairs to finish the episode of American next top model with my mom and after that, we both go to bed.

————————————————————————

We are one of the first ones so arrive at Christina's. Only my grandfather and grandmother are there and a brother of my mother with his children. My niece is 5 years old and my cousin is 18 years old.

"Heeyy Amira." I give her a hug and help her to sit next to me on the couch when I enter the living room.

"Hey Cira," she says with a high voice. She makes a necklace. I always give her the beads and she strings them together.

My cousin walks into the living room.

"Ciiiiitje!" He shouts and walks towards me.

"Hey Ryan," I great him with a smile. He sits down next to me. He asks about my ankle, so I explain what happened and tell my aunt the same story again. My other uncle and aunt also ask about it. I tell them it's not as bad as the doctor said, so they don't look crazy when I dance again next week. Ryan is going to play with Celly. My other uncle and aunt also come in. My 17-year-old niece and her 13-year-old brother also come to sit with us. Their names are Nisha and Jayden. Everyone is there now. My mother has 2 brothers and 2 sisters. 1 brother is not coming today he is always busy at work.

After a while talking with each other, Jayden asks if it's OK if he and Ryan go outside. It is not really a question, but a statement because we are always allowed to. I see Jayden asking Tylor for a soccer ball. Wait are they going to play soccer on the grass field? Near the forest? what if one of the wolves walk out again? they probably live nearby because Jason told me this is his territory. I have to go with them.

Nisha and Amira stay inside to continue with their necklace. the sun I shining to why not sit outside? I take Celly with me, knowing he also wants to play soccer.

Ryan and Jayden pass the ball over to each other, while I sit down with Celly at the picnic table. Celly walks to the others to join them.

I look at the window from the lawn. I saw Jason from there. I look at the piece of the forest where he came from. This is weird, this is the place I first saw a werewolf. I close my eyes and enjoy the sun. The only thing I hear is their laughter and the ball being kicked. I am really happy that I brought my hat, otherwise, I could not see anything from here.

"Woeshhhh" I hear a loud, strange sound coming from the forest. It sounds the same as a tennis rocket while hitting a tennis ball, or a care driving by really fast. As if something runs through the forest very quickly. It is completely silent now. They all look at the forest, the frees are still moving. Celly runs to me.

"Sisi, what was that?" He runs over to me. I have no idea what that was.

"Nothing, it was the wind, go and play again," I say. He believes it immediately and walks back to Jayden. The others still look at the forest.

"Guys it was just the wind, or just other kids playing there," I call and hope it reassures them. They do not believe it directly but eventually go further.

Were that other kids playing, in there wolf form? We should go back inside, just in case that where wolves running through the forest. In two minutes I suggest going back in so they won't think it had anything to do with the trees moving. I start counting with my eyes closed. 1...2...3...

"Hey Cira!" I hear someone call from behind me, but I recognize the voice. I turn around and see Jason with a girl and boy walking towards me. The boy is slightly smaller than Jason, but looks a lot like him. The girl looks the same age as them, she has brown curly hair down to her lower back with curls. I wave and lift my hat a little so that I can see them better. I didn't really expect Jason to do this. I'm here with my family and he had people with him too. Now his people know who I am and my family has seen him. But I don't mind seeing him again.

I say "Hello," and smile kindly when they are in front of me. The girl and I reach out at the same time. "I'm Valentina," she and smiles kindly. "I'm Cira," I replay smiling back.

The other boy is very wary, looking at me with narrowed eyes."Jake," he says curtly."Cira," I say and shakes his hand.

The way he behaves reminds me of how Jason behaved the first time we spoke. Only he already laughs and looks like a very gentle and sweet person. Once I have shaken his hand, he feels more comfortable. That was very quick.

"Yes, we know who you are," Valentina says with a smile.

Jake nods in agreement. "Yes, Jason has told us a lot about you ..." At the end of his sentence, he hesitated and looks at Jason with a grin on his face.

I smile and watch Jason frowning and narrowing his eyes at them.

"Uhm yes, well we just came to tell you that we were running past. I hadn't thought about people being outside, otherwise, we wouldn't have come close." He doesn't look at me while talking and runs his fingers through his hair.

"Ohw is okay," I say and can't help but smile at him being embarrassed.

Jake leans against the table.

"Great, then we'll leave you alone," Jason says and looks up at me and then at the field.

I see from the corner of my eye that my nephew and cousin are coming this way.

"Hey," says Ryan.

Everyone introduced themselves.

Celly is watching everyone. I lift it and place it on my lap. "And this is Celly," I say hugging him. Valentina sits right next to me and starts talking to him with a voice like she is talking to a baby.

"Okay, we're going to play football again, are you in?" Jayden asks looking at Jason and Jake.

"Yes," says Jake enthusiastically. Valentina and Jason both look at him. When he sees them looking, his tone changes. 'Maybe...'

"Okay, well you can join if you want," Jayden says as they walk away.

"You don't have to leave," I look at Jason, I don't mind it.

He looks at Valentina playing with Celly and then at Jake who is looking at the field.

"Are you sure?" He asks and I nod.

''All right,'' Jake gets up to walk to the field but stops when Jason starts talking again.

"So I told them that I healed you. I didn't know if it because of me I could look into your head. I also tried it with Valentina, but I didn't see anything with her," he explains, "Maybe it's because of you. Maybe everyone can look into your head." He pauses for a moment and thinks, but after a few seconds he continues," I wondered if Jake can heal you further, to see if he can get into your head too. I understand it if you'd rather not."

I don't know if I want anyone to look in my head again. But I want to know if it had something to do with me. I would hurt to know if werewolf can just look inside my head when they want to.

"OK let's do it." I stand up and see the surprised look on all there faces.

"Come and sit on this side." He points to the other bench on the picnic table. I get up and walk to the other side. My family ​​can't see us like that. Valentina still sits on the other side just so Ryan and Jayden can't see me. There is space between the table and the benches. But you have to put a lot of effort into looking through it. I sit with one leg on one side of the bench and the other on the other. Jake sits opposite me while I put my right leg on the bench.

"May I?" He asks before he grabs my ankle. I nod and push my foot a little towards him. He has very light brown eyes. He grabs my ankle and closes his eyes. After a few seconds, he opens his eyes and looks me in the eye. He doesn't say anything until Jason says something.

"So?" Jason looks inquiringly at Jake. He is only now looking away and looking at Jason.

"Nothing at all." Says Jake looks at me for a moment and then sits like he was sitting before.

We all have the same thoughts now. Jason is the only one who can look into my mind. Isn't it strange that it's Jason? And why is it only possible with me? That must have to do with being Vini.

After a while, Jake gets up. "Come on, Jason, let's play soccer." He pokes Jason in his side. Jason was staring into the distance, probably also thinking.

"Yes, OK," he says. They walk to Ryan and Jayden. I get up and sit down with Valentina and Celly.

"Are you the only girl in your family?" She asks as she watches the boys play soccer.

"No, I have a few nieces inside, you?" I look at her. she has the same nose and eyes as Jake has. Celly is now sitting at the table and listening to our conversation.

"No, there is one other girl. I don't know her very well because she tries to stay out of this family as much as possible. Her brother is really nice tho."She helps Celly down to the grass and then looks at me again. She Also had those light brown eyes. They are probably brother and sister. I can't imagine being the only girls among boys all the time. She has no one to talk about girls things. You would think that she would act and dress like a more boyish, but that is not the case at all. She is wearing a black dress and has nicely painted her nails. Her makeup is very natural that you hardly see it. She is really pretty, like the other two. I guess it's true that werewolf families are always good looking.

"How do you like it, among all those boys?" I cross my legs and, like her, lean against the table.

"I'm used to it. I didn't notice the difference in the past, but the older I got, the more you notice it, "she says and looks back at the field. We are both silent and look ahead. "You get homeschooled, right?" I don't know for sure because she's not a wolf.

She abruptly turns to face me with wide eyes.

"Yes, but maybe I can go to a normal school next year. We first have to see how Jason is doing. It will be easier for me anyway I am not ... a wolf. "She says with he wide smile whiche makes you want to smile too.

"I hope you will. Will you be going to our school?" I have never seen anyone so enthusiastic about going to school, in her case I get it.

"Yes, I think so," she says hopefully. I smile and look at the field.

She seems so friendly and bright, it's hard not to like her. I wonder if she thinks I'm a creep. Does she know about Vinis? Does she know that I'm the girl who has seen Jason transform?

"Are you and Jake the only persons Jason talks too?"

"Yes, the rest of them know that you talked to each other once because you happened to show him around, but they don't know that you really talked about this and that you recognized him," She smiles likes she thinks about something funny. "Today we will probably talk about it again. They think that you are some weird creature or something" She rolls her eyes and shakes her head like it's the weirdest thing. That makes clear Jason didn't tell them about me being a Vini. What would Jason tell his family, today? We look at the field in silence.

"You two have a special band." She says and I see that she is looking at Jason. I rais an eyebrow at her wondering what she is talking about.

''It is strange that only he can look into your head." She says and looks at me again. I nod, there will be more wolves that can do that with certain people. We look again at the field and see that Jason has scored. He laughs and gives Jayden and high-five.

"Jason has changed a lot lately," I look at her and wait for her to continue. When I see my gaze she turns to me and talks a little softer. "He was kind of a distance. He didn't speak much, only if he had to. He never laughed, sometimes out of politeness. He spent most of his time alone in his room or in his mother's office. He really does love his family. He has changed so much since his mother died. He just didn't act like a kid anymore, he didn't play with the others anymore, he just wanted to be alone. We all thought it would be a matter of time, that he would be back to his old self in time, but after 5 years there was still no change. Whatever we did nothing made him happy. After a few years, we decided that we had to accept him for who he is now. Neither of us could. It is very difficult to see someone you care about like that and do nothing. Until last week. Jake made a joke during dinner and Jason started laughing and telling about school and children from his class. After years we have seen him smile and talk with joy in his voice again."

This is a lot of information at once.
