She had told me to go and check in her private room remember. l soon arrived. My step father had also walked in with my mother in his arms. They had an ground basement that was well built and couldn't be easily broken. They had electricity all over the walls and a werewolf in it true from could not tamper with the walls. My mother laid still unconscious but it was all because of the transformation. Father walked away with her. l followed them and went to my mother's room. There laid a private door on the book selves. l entered the pass word and it opened up. In the room there were many blood samples in small blood bags but there was one that was separated from the others. it laid in a transparent glass in the middle of the room. l think she meant the one in the glass. l opened the glass, removed the blood and drank it all at a go. It was my first time tasting blood and all most vomited it but l stayed calm and swallowed it. l felt a sense of power with me and a flush of red light passed on my body from toes to my head. l went back home. l found no one there so l just went to my bed and had some rest. l was so tried from all the struggle last night. l slept. At around evening hours, l was awoken by loud noise. So many people were shouting, laughing as if there was a party in my house. l stood up from bed and when downstairs. l found almost six people in my living room. " What's all this Max? What's going on here?" l asked surprised. He told me that they were his friends and he introduced them. There was Jethro, Kurt, and Billy. l smelt something wired. Were they werewolves? l sensed them and they also seemed to sense me. They looked at me surprised but l didn't take it serious. It has been long since l went back to work but toady l must go. l was so happy mother was finally fine and she was recovering quickly. l can't imagine the pain l was in during those lonely days. l missed her but now here she was and fine. But then when l recall the pain during my transformation, l feel like a spear going down my spine. Ohh Micheal l missed seeing him and my Annie but today l am going to see all of them. l dressed up and got a cab to go and work. " l wonder how everyone is at the company. I hope they are all fine." l thought. l arrived early at the company. My boss was no joking man and l thought he would scold me but l remembered l had asked him sometime off work to take care of my sick mother and he granted me the permission. At the elevator doors, l met my usually angry boss but he seemed in a very good mood. He gently asked me if my mother was now fine and l told him she was definitely fine. We took the elevator to our offices. We began our usual works and when Micheal heard that l was at the company and he came to see me. He gave me a warm hug. His body was so warm and l felt so nice in his chest, l felt his heart beat. l imagined if he was my husband but he wasn't, l remembered, l quickly moved away from his chest. Max moved from the campany and went to see a friend but it turned out he was meeting a mistress. They had lunch together and spent the afternoon hours together. In the evening he went back to the company and started working. As for me l had to go back home early, l hadn't fully seen my son ever since their trip. l went to the hospital with mother when he was still in the trip and l hoped he missed me so l need to home and prepared for him his favorite meal. At home, l prepared Jack's favorite meal and waited for him. As I was there sitted l heard some people outside talking. It was Margret she had come home with my husband. He entered the house and l asked him why he had come home with Margret. He told me that his car broke down and Margret offered to drop him home. l didn't know they had been together the whole day. Max had worked half day and spent the entire day with his mistress. l was unaware completely. l asked him where Jack was and he told me that Margret went to her apartment to pick him up and bring him home. We waited and finally he was home. Margret came along. She didn't stay for long and l was grateful for that. After she left, Max and Jack who were taking a shower, came from supper. We eat and Jack asked if he could go and visit his grandma. l allowed him to go. My son looked healthy and l was grateful that Margret had taken good care of my son. After supper, they went to bed and l remained behind to do the dishes. After the dishes, Annie called me and asked me to come see her outside my house. l opened and moved outside the gates. There she was fully dressed. She asked me to go walk around with her and l accepted. " Let me first go change and come back. " l told her. l went and removed my indoor clothes and put on long trousers and a top with a heavy coat. We started moving. She just told me she was heartbroken. She had been dumped by her boyfriend whom she had been with for over four years. We moved around the streets and accidentally l bumped into a street kid. He was dressed in rags and smelt horribly. " Am so sorry" He said bending down. l felt a sense of familiarity as if l knew this young boy. He was warm hearted. l helped him pick up his dirty sack and he turned to leave. l offered him to buy him some supper because l felt sympathy for this little boy who lived by himself. The boy claimed he was fine but his stomach groaned and l told him not to be shy. He finally accepted my offer. We moved to a nearby small restaurant and l told him to order all he wanted. He ordered a bowl of instant noodles and started eating. "What's your name young boy?" l asked him quietly. Annie also ordered a meal and they eat. The boy told me he had no name. So l named him Alex Williams, after my late father, he was happy to have a name and he thanked me so much. At heart l felt like adopting this little creature but again l thought about my husband's reaction and just gave up the idea. 'Unknowns to me he was actually my real son but l had no clue about.' He eat hurriedly and l told him to slow down or he would choke. The boy enjoyed his meal and then he thanked me and left. Alex was in the same age as my son Jack. l watched his figure leave the nearby streets and l felt sadness wave down my body. l just didn't know but l seemed to loved this little boy. Annie enjoyed her meal and she was texting with a friend while l was chatting with Alex. She asked me why l was so much concerned about the boy. She was surprised. But l just told her that the boy was so lovely and well behaved to get attracted to anyone. l ordered a drink and started having some fan. As l was enjoying myself l spotted Margret with a handsome guy the corner. She also saw me. l came to say hi. The guy, she had was putting on sun glasses and he wore fancy clothes. 'He was my husband but l didn't know'.l greeted them and the guy didn't answer. Margret answer alone. But anyways l just left since l didn't want to disturb other people's dates. l moved back to my table. Annie was soon too tired and l paid the bill and boarded a cab to take her back home. l didn't want to bother Max so l took her to her home. We headed straight to her bedroom and l help her remove her shoes. l let her rest and boarded another cab to my house. l found my husband and my son all first asleep. l didn't bother anyone so l went straight for my bed and slept. 'My husband has sneaked back to his room before l came back home. At the moment we left the restaurant, Max hurried back home. lt seemed they had long know that l was in the same restaurant as theirs.bMax borrowed sun glasses from a waiter and he put them on. So the moment l recognized them, Max was sitting calmly and l didn't recognize him.' At night l had a dream the same dream l always had. A man's voice chasing me and me running wildly yet not know where l was going nor where l was coming from. l always had this dream several times a week. It disturbed my sleep and every time l had that dream l felt a sense of sorrow. ' l didn't know it was my uncle John who was hunting me in every corner of the world.' When l heard this dream l used not to go back to sleep. So tonight l went downstairs and turn on the television to watch some late news. At the door l spotted dirty shoes that l had not left when l went to bed. l came closer and l saw that they were my husband's shoes. "Where was he from in the middle of the night? " l asked myself. l went to his room and l found he was fast asleep. l reached closer to see if he was really sleeping. l waved my hand on his face and it seemed he was really sleeping. l moved out of his room. l went to Jack's room and he was there also sleeping. His room was messed up with his toys so l put everything back and gently kissed his fore head and moved outside. l loved him so much. He was my only son. l went back to the living room and watched some series that seemed nice. l also go my laptop and began doing some work that was actually meant for tomorrow.
