She slammed the door open and went straight to the kitchen. Rachel looked up both shocked and excited. She wanted to walk to her, but Kelsey raised her hand. “Don’t come any closer” she said. “I just spent the most horrible and painful night of my life and I want to know why”
“Honey, I only know the big lines. I can’t tell you much” Rachel said. “Your father is coming home soon and he’ll be furious if he knows you’re here”
“Dad doesn’t have any right to be furious” Kelsey snapped. “He lied to me. He’s been keeping secrets from me”
“I know and I can’t make up for him, but please understand that shutting you out was a very painful decision” Rachel said.
“What am I?” Kelsey asked.
“You’re a werewolf” Rachel sighed. “The werewolf gene runs in your family from your mother’s side” She picked a piece of paper and a pen and wrote something down. She handed it to Kelsey who accepted it. “This is her address. I’ve been keeping contact with her to let her know how you were doing. Your father obviously doesn’t know. Anything you want to know you should ask her”
“Alright, then” Kelsey said. “Is my sister home?” she asked, hoping her father had lied about summer camp. But Rachel shook her head. “No, she left” Kelsey nodded. “Then I guess this is goodbye” And again Rachel wanted to come closer to her, but Kelsey turned around and walked out on her.
