Kakakku memanggilku sayang dan mentransferku uang. Calon istrinya mengira aku adalah wanita simpanannya. Dia membawa orang-orang ke rumah baru yang kudesain dengan indah. "Masih muda, tapi sudah jadi wanita simpanan. Hari ini, kugantikan orang tuamu mendidikmu!" "Aku akan memposting tindakanmu ini di forum universitas supaya dosen dan teman-temanmu tahu kamu wanita murahan!" Mereka menghancurkan rumah baruku, menarik bajuku. Mereka menggantungkan kartu pelajar di leherku, lalu memotretku. Ketika kakakku datang, matanya memerah. "Beraninya kalian menindas adikku! Kalian sudah bosan hidup ya?"

It was late at night at around 10:30 pm in San Francisco a woman walked passed a street it was dark that she had to make use of a touch light in order to get a clear view of where she was heading to, just when she was about taking a step she felt something around her when she was about to look around she heard some strange voice which she found kind of weird, at first it was frighten, she asked herself "what could that be." while she stood there wondering what on Earth could have made such a weird sound, she was lost in her thoughts, then she heard a foot steps as if she was been followed by an unknown person, now she was scared because she knew it wasn't natural for all this things to be happening at a time, she knew this was some sort of supernatural powers, she said to her self she turned around to move anyway from that spot as fast as her legs could go, just when she was about walking away she saw a shadow, and thought it must be a person there, but how could a person be making such an awful noise, "it was a sound of a wild animal." she said, she decided to go see what it was, as she moved closer towards the direction of the sound only few steps ahead of her, someone tapped her on the shoulder she was scared that she had to scream out loud. It was Annie."What are you doing here by this time of the night, it could be dangerous?" she asked miss Vivian.Vivian said loudly, as she gasped out, with breath " Oh Annie it's you, I went out to get some things from a nearby store." she said looking towards the direction of where she heard the sound."Is there a problem Miss Vivian?" Annie asked, as she tried to get her attention. "No Annie, it seems there is something over there, did you hear anything?" She said pointing towards the direction to Annie."Maybe you were hallucinating, it nothing serious or perhaps you might have been thinking too much." she said."Yeah I guess you are right, maybe I was just taking things too seriously these days, you know I got too much on my head now," she said still trying to catch her breath, and at the same time making a sigh of relief."you are right, I would walk you home it could be dangerous for only you, walking alone by this time of the night," Annie said still looking towards that direction to know if anyone was around there. "Thank you so much, Annie, I appreciate your effort towards me, by the way where are you off to" she, said with a lot of relief."Oh I was just going to get something to eat from a nearby restaurant, I ran out of stuff," Annie said out of fear."It often happens to everyone, but you can come home with me if you wish, then we can have dinner together dear" she said with a smile.
"No miss Vivian, am so sorry I don't really wanna bother you," Annie said with her eyes down to the floor hoping she does not insist. "No, don't say that my dear you are not bothering me at all, I would love to have you in my house." Miss Vivian said. "A friend offered to take me out on a date tonight, so I would not be able to join you ma, maybe some other time," Annie said trying to cook up some excuses."sure" Miss Vivian replied with a long smile.Annie saw miss Vivian off to her apartment and turned away, then, she made a sign of relief and rushed back to the same spot she meets miss Vivian before."Thank goodness miss Vivian did not see anything, I came at the right time to stop her, or else she would have come to know everything, how stupid of me, it was the full moon tonight and I forgot completely to lock up mom and dad, just hope no one saw them before arriving here," she said gladly. As she walked up to the place. Mom, Dad she called out slowly to them moving close in their direction. By the time she found them they had already transformed into werewolves it's wasn't easy, controlling them as wolves, to make them go under the basement, she tried all she could but failed then she said to them, "I don't care how aggressive you are towards me, you know you can't hurt me because I am also a young wolf, just like you are a werewolf from one pack, I can control you, as been a young she-wolf, I will do anything to make sure you don't cause any harm to others." Then she took a rod and said "am sorry mom and dad I have to use this on you, you are not helping me." she took the rod closer to them, they became more aggressive aiming to attack her, she said "this would not help." While she stood there wondering what to do next.Then it came across her mind to make use of her powers to control them since she had not started transforming yet like them because she was still too young but she has the blood in her vain, which means she can communicate with them through her eyes and can make them calm down to listen, command them to do as she pleases.Finally, she was able to control them down to the basement and cage them in there and went to bed wondering how she would look like when transforming into a werewolf.8:00 am Annie rushed down to the basement to unlock the cage because she knew her parents would have transformed back into humans when the full moon was gone."oh no, she jumped up from the bed, I slept late last night and could not meet up with time in the morning, I need to go get mom and dad out of that basement I can't even imagine how they were able to cope in there after transforming into humans, mom, dad." she called out to them as she rushed down the basement.
"Annie how are you doing my dear, we are so sorry for the troubles we cost you, last night sweetie," Mom said disappointedly."Yes dear, we were just not able to control ourselves from making it happen, we tried but the blood was stronger than us my dear" dad said with a voice of regret"It's okay I completely understand," Annie said while hugging them both We love you baby"Love you too," she said with a long smile on her face "Goodness my head is killing me" mom said did you use that rod on us. They all laughed and went away from the basement with the fear of how long would their secret be kept hidden from their enemies."Annie where are you, we are late am ready to go to work, hurry up and let me drop you off at school," dad said in haste
"Am almost through dad, can't they for once let me finish up in peace, rather than dragging me around. I will always have to be in a haste as long as dad is the one dropping me off" Annie said trying to fix her hair."Breakfast is ready, come downstairs quickly," mom said trying to set the table"Sure mom, just a minute."
"We are gonna be late Annie hurry up.""Good morning Mom and Dad" She said as she walked up to the dining, they all had breakfast together silently until Mr. Frank broke the silence. Annie's father. "That reminds me Annie, you are going to be starting a new life in your school today, and you know it's gonna be your first time in your new school, so I want you to be cautious baby of the type of people you keep as friends." "Sure dad am no longer a baby anymore, I can handle things on my own now, but still promise to be careful so you don't need to worry about me," she said trying to finish up her breakfast."Okay, so shall we go now," dad said
"Yeah dad am done, goodbye Mom see you later," Annie said with a sign of kisses to her mom."Goodbye sweetheart." mom replied quickly.They drove away slowly and never say a word to each other until they had reached the school, then Annie came down and paid farewell to her dad. It was her first time in that school wondering if she could cope "the school seems to be very big in this city." she said to herself still in search of her class everyone seems to be in a hurry so she decided not to ask and got missed up with the crowd, then she bumped into a young lady of her age called Elisa, who was into zoology while Annie was into pharmacy."hey you! what's your problem can't you see me coming or are you blind? Why is there so much blind people everywhere these days. can't one possibly check is or her eyes before coming out how many time will I get buped up before reaching home today." Elisa said with an angry voice, while talking to herself.
"Am so sorry, am new here, I was just trying to locate my class, I am so sorry I was such in a rush that I did not see you coming," Annie said trying to explain herself, and at the sametime apologizing." it okay we often make mistakes," Elisa said with a smile on her face.
"Perhaps maybe you can help me out," Annie said with the of hope finding her class room soon. As she explains to elisa."oh! your class is over there not this direction, you are heading towards"
"Anyway, am Elisa and you?" Elisa said with her hand stretched out"Nice meeting you ELISA, am Annie," she said with a handshake."If you don't mind maybe we can hang out one of these days, and get to know each other better," Elisa said hoping for a good reply
Annie replied quickly "yeah sure I would love to hang out with you" they both agreed on going out after the class, as they departed their separate waysAfter the class the two ladies meet outside the school, they took a walk to a quiet place where they both talk about their lives and experience, when Elisa was done, she asks Annie about where she was from. Annie was about saying everything behind their pack secret without noticing when she realized she paused and turn the whole story around after a long discussion among the two ladies then they decided to be friends. Annie was quite not comfortable with the idea but she did not say anything to Elisa she only nodded her head and said "sure we can be friends" as she took her bag and said she had to go now, her parents will probably be waiting for her, they huge each and departed.Annie hurried home to think of what she almost said before she had to change the topic "oh God I almost spilted everything out to Elisa, I have to be very careful when am around her, she must not come to know anything about me."The next day Annie decided to go shopping in a mall, when she was done shopping for the things she liked, she turned and was about to go, a guy came from behind named Jessie who claimed to be studying in the same school with Annie.
"hi" Jessie said as he walked up to Annie. Jessie was a popular guy in school handsome and of course every girl's dream guy. He was a kind of celebrity know for wealth.Langkah kakiku sontak terhenti. Namun, tangan besar yang hangat itu segera menarikku keluar.Setelah kembali ke mobil, kakakku berucap dengan lembut, "Reese, jangan pedulikan omongan Evelyn. Apa pun hasilnya, itu bukan salahmu."Aku mengangguk dan tersenyum.Evelyn mengajukan permohonan bebas bersyarat dengan alasan hamil. Namun, kerabatnya masih ditahan di kantor polisi.Dua hari kemudian, polisi tiba-tiba menelepon dan mengatakan kakak sepupu Evelyn ingin bertemu kami."Aku ingin membuat kesepakatan dengan kalian." Kami baru tidak bertemu beberapa hari, tetapi wanita penyiar itu sudah kehilangan banyak berat badan."Atas dasar apa kamu ingin membuat kesepakatan dengan kami?" Kakakku bahkan malas meliriknya."Aku punya informasi yang bisa membantu kalian mengatasi masalah sekarang. Permintaanku nggak banyak. Aku cuma ingin kalian nggak meminta kompensasi dariku," jelas wanita penyiar itu dengan cemas.Sebelum kakakku berbicara, aku menyahut, "Coba katakan dulu. Kalau informasimu berni
Aku percaya pada kakakku.Hingga suatu hari, ketika aku dan kakakku sedang makan, ponselnya tiba-tiba berdering."Apa?" Alis kakakku berkerut. Wajahnya menjadi sangat suram."Bawa dia ke rumah sakit. Aku mau hasil yang pasti." Setelah mengakhiri panggilan, kakakku hanya diam.Aku bisa menebak bahwa hal ini berkaitan dengan Evelyn. "Kak?""Evelyn hamil," ujarnya dengan suara yang sangat dingin.Aku sontak termangu. Kabar ini sungguh mengejutkan. Sejujurnya, aku tidak punya cara untuk memaafkan Evelyn. Dia bukan hanya melecehkanku, tetapi juga menghancurkan barang peninggalan orang tuaku.Namun, Evelyn hamil anak kakakku. Itu artinya, anak itu adalah keponakanku. Aku bisa melihat kakakku sangat dilema. "Kak, anak itu nggak bersalah." Meskipun merasa enggan, aku tetap bertindak rasional."Anak itu nggak boleh dilahirkan." Beberapa saat kemudian, kakakku berucap dengan dingin, "Kalau ada anak di antara kami, aku nggak bakal bisa terlepas dari Evelyn untuk selamanya."Ini pertama kalinya ak
Evelyn yang dikelilingi oleh sekelompok orang itu tampak pucat pasi. Dia tidak bisa melontarkan sepatah kata pun.Ketika melihat Evelyn tidak merespons, orang-orang mulai panik dan mendorongnya. Tangan yang pernah mendorong dan menekanku itu kini menyentuh Evelyn. Karena terdesak, mereka tidak memperhatikan tenaga mereka lagi dan Evelyn terhuyung."Cukup! Kalian sendiri yang mau ikut saat aku bilang mau memukul pelakor. Kalian juga yang ingin menyanjung Henry!" seru Evelyn yang panik."Kalian takut Henry selingkuh dan mencampakkanku, lalu kalian nggak bisa mengambil keuntungan dariku lagi. Makanya, kalian berbondong-bondong membantuku, 'kan? Sudah terlambat untuk melempar tanggung jawab sekarang. Kita harus menanggungnya bersama!""Lagi pula, waktu aku meminta pendapat kalian, kalian yang memberiku ide untuk menelanjanginya dan membawanya ke jalanan, 'kan?"Ucapan Evelyn ini sontak menggusarkan semua orang. Situasi menjadi di luar kendali."Apa katamu? Maksudmu, kami salah karena memba
"Henry, maafkan aku. Aku nggak tahu dia adikmu. Kulihat kamu mentransfernya uang, bahkan memanggilnya sayang. Kukira dia wanita simpananmu, makanya aku ...."Ketika melihat para kerabatnya akan dibawa pergi oleh polisi, Evelyn pun panik. Dia tidak sempat memedulikan cederanya lagi dan berlari ke hadapan kami."Hanya karena spekulasimu yang nggak berdasar itu, kamu rasa kamu berhak menyakiti adikku? Jelaskan saja semuanya pada polisi."Kakakku memapahku pergi. Evelyn ingin mengejar, tetapi polisi menahannya. Orang-orang di sekitar pun memotret Evelyn tanpa memedulikan larangan polisi.Kakakku membelikanku pakaian baru, lalu membawaku ke rumah sakit. Ketika melihat lebam dan bengkak pada tubuhku, dia sungguh naik pitam."Kak, aku baik-baik saja kok."Kakakku memelukku dan berucap dengan rasa bersalah, "Maafkan aku, Reese.""Mereka menghancurkan rumah barumu dan lukisanmu. Barang peninggalan Ibu juga hancur." Aku tidak bisa menahan air mataku."Jangan nangis. Aku sudah suruh orang memperb
Untungnya, Henry tinggi dan tegap. Jasnya sudah cukup untuk menutupi seluruh tubuhku. Aku seketika merasa sangat aman."Reese, apa ada yang sakit?"Aku tidak meladeninya karena dia terlambat menolongku. Ketika Evelyn memaksaku berlutut, aku diam-diam menekan tombol kontak darurat. Di dunia ini, aku cuma punya kakakku. Hanya dia yang bisa kuhubungi."Pak Henry, kamu sengaja mengakui dia sebagai adikmu demi melindungi pelakor, 'kan?" Wanita penyiar itu masih mengarahkan kamera ponsel kepada kami. "Marga kalian berbeda. Dia bukan adik kandungmu."Henry menatapnya seperti menatap orang idiot. "Kamu kakak sepupu Evelyn, 'kan? Ayahmu punya toko elektronik."Wanita penyiar itu sontak terkesiap. Orang-orang di belakang pun tidak berani bersikap angkuh lagi.Wanita penyiar itu menatap layar ponselnya dan bertanya, "Ka ... kamu mengancamku? Asal kamu tahu, pandangan publik sangat tajam. Ada jutaan orang di ruang siaranku. Kalaupun kamu mengancamku, itu nggak bisa mengubah fakta kalau dia adalah
"Evelyn, biar kuperingatkan sekali lagi. Aku adalah adik kandung Henry. Yang kamu pegang adalah barang peninggalan orang tua kami." Suaraku bergetar, mataku merah. Yang ada di benakku adalah penampilan Ibu saat sakit dan menyeka piala itu dengan tangan bergetar."Pertanyaanku cuma satu, mau berlutut atau nggak?" Evelyn menatapku dengan angkuh.Aku menelan ludah, menahan kesedihan dan amarah dalam hati. Demi Ibu, aku akan berlutut.Wanita penyiar itu mengarahkan kamera ponselnya kepadaku lagi. "Semuanya, lihat, pelakor berlutut. Kalau mau melihatnya menggonggong, like dan follow aku dulu ya.""Guk, guk, guk." Aku menahan rasa hina ini. Aku hanya ingin melindungi barang peninggalan ibuku.Semua orang tergelak. Tiba-tiba, terdengar suara barang pecah. Aku sontak merinding."Maaf, tanganku licin." Lantai dipenuhi pecahan kaca. Evelyn menatapku dengan tatapan menghina, seolah-olah tidak takut sedikit pun padaku.Saat ini, aku merasa amarah telah membakar hatiku. Aku berlari ke depan dan men
