Andrea's Point of View
I was very shocked by what the doctor told me. What is happening?
I was about to leave the office when Mr. Murphy came back.
"What happened Andrea? Why did you do that to Cynthia? She did not do anything to you. She just wanna know if you are okay, that's why she followed you. But you became so violent. Why?"
I was flabbergasted on what he had said. Eveything's so unfair. Eveyone's so unfair.
"How did you know that she did not do anything to me Sir?" I asked.
"Because--
"Because that is what she said?" I cut him off. " She poured a juice over me and made fun of me because I am poor and she's reach. This is clearly a bullying."
"And because of that you pushed her so hard and pinned her on the wall? Is that what you're saying?"
"What? I did not do that. I did not even stand nor move on my place. Why would you even think that? Did you saw the wall broken? Do I look like I am strong enough to do that? I did not do anything." I crossed my arms, "But if you think that I did. Then I cannot do anything about that."
I stormed out of the room and ran. I heard Mr. Murphy calling my name, but I did not look back. I ran and ran and ran, I came back on our house but before I open the gate, I stopped on my track. There are bunch of black dogs all over the place-- no they're not a dog... wolves!
Why are there wolves in our house?!
Before a wolf notice me, someone grabbed me and hid me. When I looked at him, it's Gustavo.
"Shhh" He commanded me to keep quiet. I nodded my head as a sign of acknowledgment. He signaled to follow him, so I did because I thought that is what I need to do in this situation.
I don't know what is happening. I don't have a slightest idea, but I really feel that if those wolves will see me they will hurt me... it's quite frightening. Weirdly, I don't feel like that towards Gustavo, it's not that I trust him already though, I just feel that he is not a bad person.
We were already at the heart of the forest, when we stopped walking. He looked at me, and stared at him.
"Don't stare at me young lady." He said avoiding my gazes. He must have been uncomfortable.
"I have so many questions." I said, "And I feel like you are the only one who can answer those right now..."
He looked at me again, "Why do you think so?"
"I just feel that's the case..."
There was a long silence between us... And he was the one who broke it, "So, what do you want to ask?"
"What the hell with wolves? Why are there in our home?"
"Those are not wolves." He answered.
"What do you mean?"
"They are werewolves. Royal werewolves at that."

Gustavo's Point of View
She was shocked, it is so much evident in her eyes, I smirked under my mask. I sure know that it will be hard for her to believe me. I also think that she might be scared if she'l know what kind of life I gave her.
"Are you kidding me?" She said, "I am not a kid, and I don't live in fairy tale. I don't believe in such things."
"Whether you want to believe me or not, that's the truth. And I know Minerva, your mother for such a long time..." I said, "She's not what you think she is... she's not just what you think she is...and you are not just what you think either."
Her eyebrows furrowed, I almost chuckled because of her reactions, I missed too much in her life, and I already had a chance to see so many details about her face, her moves, and her ways.
"What?" She said, "Don't joke around Gustavo, the way you speak seems like you already know me."
"Well, I do."
"You are creeping me out, can you explain more
I sighed, I am explaining though.
"That is the truth Andrea. They are werewolves, I am a werewolf, your mother, and you are too."
"What?"
"Okay, you will never believe me without proof right?" She absentmindedly nodded her head as I askes her that, "Right. So come with me and I will ahow you something."
We walked towards the exit of the forest, we crossed the flowing river, and enter another forest. I know that there are many other way to show her proofs but I want to walk with her and talk to her more.
"How did you met my mother?" She asked after a long silence.
"Well, she is one of the royalties in our speci. She is a princess actually, a beautiful princess. She is brave and smart. I am one of the men who wanted to know her."
"So you fell in love with my mom?" She asked. I did not answer. She laughed.
We are now near to the camp.
"Do you know something about my Dad?"
I froze. This is not the right time for me to answer that question.
"I know that Dad loves me... I don't actually hate him, because I know he has a reason for leaving us." She said.
I cleared my throat, "we're already there. We just need to cross that cave."
I hurriedly went to the came and she followed me.
"Gustavo! Welcome back!" A young lad welcomed me -- us, the moment we had reached the camp.
And after that, The elder came towards us. He is blind and wrinkled. He is the oldest werewolves alive.
"Welcome back Gustavo." He said. I bow my head as a sign of respect.
"I see that you are now here Andrea." He also added.
"Can... can you see me? Wait, do you know me? How?" She exclaimed.
"I know everyone and everything in this tribe amd other tribes. I know all the werewolves born and deceased." The elder said. He walked back to his thrown.
"Are you the king?" Andrea asked, looking around.
"No, younglady. I am no King, I am just a blind old man." He laughed.
Everyone is looking at her, some kids came near her and smelled her.
"You smell like human." Barbara said, an eight year old girl.
"No, Her blood smells different." Hugo said.
"Are all of you werewolves?!"
"No. All of us." The young lad said to her, Alejandro.
