Rebirth and werewolves

6. supernatural

"Rebecca, you're in your room?" She asked again and her voice coming closer and closer.

I get up alarmed and hurry to the door, I couldn't feel my butt but nevertheless open the door and go out giving Zander a I'll be back look.

Just as I turned, grandma was right in front of me causing me to jam the door loudly.

"Hi Grandma" I greeted giving her a small smile so she don't suspect anything.

She jumps a little at the noise from the door, and smiled back at me.

"How was school my dear?" She asked.

"It was fine, granny" I said giving a small smile.

"Alright dear, I will fix you up something, go rest" she said, turning to go downstairs.

"Thanks" I turn to the door turning the knob and opening the door only slightly when grandma spoke up, turning to me.

"Oh, one more thing... Mrs Miller sent her greetings"

Hearing her voice made me lock the door on impulse turning to her too.

I nod and smiled, "How is she? I plan on seeing her one of these days".

Mrs Miller was my dad's friend, more like best friends, they shared everything together... They said, I don't remember much, I was 5 the last time they hanged out together . Although she had been a reoccurring aspect of life, like a mother figure somehow after I lost both my parents. Being the quiet and reserved type, I cherished my alone time, my introverted self didn't let me accept her fully but we maintained some level of friendship. Unfortunately she fell sick and died in my past life.

"She is fine, not to worry, you can go anytime you wish, she understands how busy school can make you" grandma said walking away.

"Okay" I muttered. Making sure she was out of sight, I sighed and opened my door, closing and locking it after entering. I looked at Zander who looked at me too, he was still in the same position I had left him.

Damn! He looked so cute.

I shook my head like I was disagreeing with my head.

Well... That's a inappropriate thing to say about your English teacher. Now I regretted kissing him, a student teacher relationship is not one I want to be involved in and besides this is not what I'm here for... Losing focus shouldn't be considered.

I sighed tiredly to myself, I walked to the bed where Zander was sitting and plop myself beside him.

"Why didn't you ever tell your grandma? He asked calmly staring at me..

"I didn't want to disturb her, she is old now and very fragile. I mean at first I thought it was going to stop and something I can handle myself, but now when it is worse, I fear that she might get an heart attack finally knowing that her granddaughter is been bullied for a long time now right under her nose. I don't want to do that to her. Also I'm afraid if she finds out and tries to protect me, she might be their target and get hurt in the process. Another reason is that this is a small town with few people, Andre and his friends are quite known for "heroic deeds" to humanity. They once saved grandma from an accident...my grandma said...she might not believe me especially when I have no proof against them"

"Then I guess we get proof right?"

"Yeah...but it's not that easy, my plan always end up failing. You saw what happened today, they seem to be able to smell me a mile away. So how do I get proof when I can't get close to them without them noticing me" I answered frustrated and with a downcast sad look.

"Don't worry... 'We' will figure something out... Okay?" He said assuringly, even though I know chances of a solution is slow.. I smiled at his encouragement.

"You should really get going.. before my grandma comes in here" I gave a slight chuckle giving the door a quick glance.

"Alright" he said gets up.

"Follow me quietly and when I do this.. you stop and when I do this, you follow" I said showing him hand gestures like in those military related movies.

He only chuckled telling me to lead the way.

I open the door and looked around. Coast clear. I waved him to follow me. We walked quietly more like tiptoed down the stairs, only stopping at the end looking for the sign of a grandma. Hearing noise in the kitchen told us she was there, she was humming and listening to the radio.

In a quiet but fast pace we reached the front door. I open the door quickly letting Zander walk out..

"So... I'll see you in school?" He inquired calmly.

"Yeah...and please for safe reasons I suggest we keep this "us" thing to ourselves, I don't want things getting more complicated, a teacher and student scandal is not what I need right now"

I whispered.

"Anything you say" he said grinning widely.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

He didn't say anything but leaned in for a kiss. My heart was ringing with excitement to have his lips again but my brain thought logically.

Just as his lips was a few inches from mine, I turned my face away. He seem to have gotten the memo as he withdrew.

"I'm sorry...I'm not ready for this, we can just be friends...it was a mistake the first time...sorry.

I couldn't even look at his face, before he could say anything I had already closed the door....his hurt face was the last expression of him I saw.

I placed my head on the door tiredly. Today has been a whole rollercoaster for me. From meeting Andre and his friends after 7 years to kissing my English teacher.

I sigh, which I seem to be doing quite often and turned head to my room. I needed sleep, maybe this was all a dream and I would wake up back to my miserable life.

"Rebecca, who was at the door?" Grandma asked coming out of the kitchen.

I jump in surprise "Uhm...no...no one"

"I heard the door opening and closing and you are at the door right now" she said confused.

"Ahm....did I say no one?.. Ha...I meant it was me, I thought someone was knocking on the door, so I went to check, no one was there, must have been our neighbor's door...so it was me.." I said hastily hoping she didn't ask so much questions.

"Okay dear, you know I sometimes fall for it too...I end up opening the door and no one's there, only to find it's my neighbor's" she laughs.

Phew.. close.

I laugh as well and followed her to the kitchen.

"So... grandma, what smells so good?" I asked as I tried to open the pot on the burner.

She slaps my hand away earning a Yelp from me, "do you want your hand to get burnt? The pot is hot. I always warn you from this bad habit of yours but you never listen. Next time I won't stop you, I'll let you get burnt" she reprimanded.

"Sorry grandma but I know you will never do that because you are my one in a million grandma" I said with a smile giving her a short hug.

She doesn't say anything but the smile on her face said everything. She went back to her cooking. I almost felt sad looking at this poor old woman knowing that she was going to heaven soon. I shake away negative thoughts and asked " is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes dear, you can do the dishes, I will take care of the cooking"

"Sure" I move over to the sink and start washing the plates.

"You are just like your father, always opening pots on fire"

We both laughed.

"Tell me more about him?" I ask whilst washing.

"Oh what could I tell you, he was a fine jovial child and he grew up to be a strong man too. He always dared himself and took risks. He was fearless too. God bless his soul"

I tried putting what she said into virtuality. I admired my dad, more because I was the complete opposite of him. I could only wish I was fearless like him.

"And one more thing, he loved anything supernatural, he would buy any supernatural movie immediately it comes out. He always told me they were real" she laughed "Mrs Miller was in it too. That's why they lasted so long as friends, they both shared that likeness for unnatural things of the earth....the underworld. If there's someone who knows your father more than I do is Mrs Miller. You can ask about him when you visit her" she said.

"Alright I will"

What do you think about the story so far? Do you think it's good enough for the rebirth contest? And am I doing the werewolf thing right?

This is my first werewolf book, I had to do a little research on how to write them...lol. so tell me if I'm doing it right. I would love to hear from you.

Plane or ship?
