Mary's P.O.V

I woke up way before we arrived at the bed and breakfast last night.

I just saw how worried dad was and how not worried his eyes were when he saw me sleeping and save so I pretended to sleep all the way there.

I don't know who these bad men are and daddy doesn't want to tell me the story but when I see how afraid dad is that makes me really scared because dad is this big tough man and him being scared means that the bad men have to be even bigger and badder than daddy.

I was kinda scared when he got out of the car after he stopped and left me alone in the car to go into the store but I'm a big girl and that means I can't be scared of stuff like this. I have asked daddy if I could train with him but he said that I am still to young for all of that and that when the time comes he will start my training.

I really try and be the best girl I can be as to not put any extra stress and worry towards dad because he already has.

Sometimes it isn't as easy because he doesn't explain most things and thinks I don't see but I do and this makes me really do try my best.

I got scared again last night when I woke up from that same nightmare that I have been having ever since I can remember.

I haven't told dad about the nightmare because I can't really remember most of it when I wake up and again I don't want to worry him.

I couldn't get back to sleep and decided to get up and maybe ask dad to make me some warm honey milk and maybe tuck me in again but I found that dad wasn't with me in the room again. I got up and called out for him but couldn't find him anywhere and decided to have a look out of the window because maybe he would just be outside getting some fresh air.

What I saw scared me. There was this huge wolf or bear or whatever standing there looking for something.

I didn't want to draw the attention of the wolf but I also didn't want to look away. I felt that I couldn't look away.

The wolf was just so majestic and dare I say beautiful. I know I should have been scared out of my mind because this beast could easily attack and kill me on the spot without much or even any effort but I kind of felt safe in his presence.

I was mesmerized.

I wanted to stay and watch what the wolf would do, so I went to gather my favourite blanky and sat on the window bench thing wrapped like a burrito in my blanky.

For a while it looked like the wolf was just hiding or searching for something and then as if he was satisfied run off into the woods away and out of my sight.

I didn't want to go back to bed because I wanted to watch the wolf, not that I think that I would be able to sleep while knowing that there is a wolf outside and with daddy not being here I am all alone.

So I sat and waited for the wolf to return. Got up a few times to go to the bathroom and get some snacks and cooldrink but mostly just sat and waited.

I was starting to feel overly tired and yawning a little later on.

Still I did not move because I wanted to see the wolf again.

It was much later and my eyes were starting to fall shut when out of the corner of my eye I saw that the wolf was back again searching in the same spot where he had been before he had run off.

This time he grabbed something and put it down in front of him again.

I blinked and in that time the wolf had left and in its place was a human.

I couldn't see good because the person's back was to me but by the short hair I could see that it was a man.

Fully dressed now the man turned around and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

There in the place of the wolf was Daddy.

He wasn't here with me because he was in the woods being a wolf but that would mean all the stories he was telling me about werewolves and vampires and all those folklore must be true because how else am I supposed to understand that one minute there was a wolf, I blinked and then there stood dad.

Not knowing what to make of this I decided that for the time being I wouldn't ask dad or tell him anything. At least until I have either seen it again or have more proof on this because this could also be because I'm so sleepy that I am seeing stuff that shouldn't be there.

I quickly got up and back to bed trying to keep my eyes closed and pretend that I am asleep when daddy comes back to the room.

I don't know if I should be afraid of him or if I should not be afraid of him?

I felt safe with his wolf's presence in the forest and I have always felt safe in dad's presence so I doubt that I should be feeling afraid of him at this stage.

I mean he has never hurt me before and has always been so sweet and loving towards me so I doubt he will start hurting me now.

Soon enough I heard the click of the door and daddy's heavy footsteps coming into the room. I tried to keep my eyes closed and lay as still as possible so he doesn't suspect a thing but I must admit that I was kind of scared when I heard him coming closer to my side of the bed and that made the playing to be asleep a little harder.

I don't think he suspects because he kissed me on the forehead and tucked me more into the blanky than I already was.

After that he got his laptop and started working on the couch and in that time I must have fallen asleep again because when I woke up it was already morning and sunny.

Daddy was in bed and everything was as it was last night, making me wonder if last night was just a bad dream and if it really did happen at all?

Seems to me that that is what I will need to be finding out now

    Mary's P.O.V I don't remember how long I was awake after we left, but I know it wasn't long. Car rides always made me sleepy, and in all the years, I have not once managed to stay awake long enough to see the whole trip. The calming sound of the tyres on the road just lulls me to sleep with its calming lullaby. Being shaken awake, out of my calming sense of sleep, wasn't something that I wanted. Smacking the hands away from me and murmuring for them to leave me alone also didn't seem to work because I was still shaken even after that. "Dora is picking the snacks alone, and we both know she doesn't have the best taste. You might want to go and help her." That had me awake almost immediately. She never chooses the speckled eggs and always goes for kale chips or something healthy and sugarless that has no taste at all. Smiling and eating it just to make her happy is what dad and I did, but for the last while it has been becoming increasingly more difficult. Jumping out of the car,

    Ryder's P.O.V When Mary told me that she felt watched and followed from the library that had me worried already but when she told me that she had noticed the change in the attendants in some of the shops and someone told her to run I was glad that she was able to get home safely. I really want to meet that person who told her to run because I want to thank them for their help but she said that she didn't see who talked to her and that there wasn't anyone that she saw near her so she has no idea who talked to her. She mentioned that is why she said that it could have been something before she said someone. At the moment, I didn't care who or what it was, I was just really grateful that she was okay. The most important thing on my mind was to get everything packed up into the car and leave before there was the need for another fight. Mary didn't know who it was, and with that little knowledge gap she had because of me not telling her what she is and what actually exists, that could

    "RUN!"I didn't have any time to think about the voice in my head because the tone of the voice just let me know that there was no space for argument and that if I didn't run I would regret it soon enough. I might not be feeling the eyes on me anymore but that didn't mean that they weren't lurking somewhere behind me. I didn't know whether I would be able to make it back home before whatever was chasing me caught up to me but I was hell-bent on getting there. Luckily I had the recently acquired speed on my side helping me zoom past everything faster than I have ever thought of running. I thought where would be the safest to stop and try and get into the house because I didn't want to struggle with the extremely solid front door that took forever to push open and I didn't leave any windows open when I left not thinking that I would need to make a quick entry into the house. Exiting the town square and entering the little clearing where the house is located I was so glad to see that

    Mary's P.O.VWaking up I got the pendant out again fully intending to find out exactly what it was and what it means. I was hoping this would help me to be able to retrace my steps of last night and find out what had happened and in whose blood I was covered. I didn't want to let my imagination sore and think of random possibilities and scenarios because each one that I had come up with was more gruesome than the previous one and to be honest I was making myself both sick and scared.I didn't want to take it to Dory or dad because I didn't have a story to tell them about where I had gotten it and I didn't even have the energy to be creative enough to make up a story of how I had happened to get it into my possession. I had a feeling that telling them that I had picked it up on the street would not suffice and that they would not buy that story.Full well intending to go to the library and see what I could find out about the pendant, I had started my

    Unknown's P.O.VWe had just finished dinner and were walking back to my place where I had plans for the lovely lady that was so willing to accompany me on this date tonight. Little did she know that she would not be seeing her beloved cat again after I am finished with her.Taking them out for dinner and getting the drunk and soft makes it easier for me. Also, you know slipping something into a drink here and there has also never hurt anybody, well except for the girls of course. Blood from a willing victim just tastes so much better than blood from someone struggling. The fear that courses through it just adds a weird aftertaste that I have learned that I do not care to taste when I need to refill my energy levels.I mean I could always just use my powers of persuasion on them, drink my full and let them go with them not remembering anything but where is the fun in doing that? I have more than just hunger needs that I have to fulfil and in any case

  • Hidden In Plain Sight    Chapter 39

    Mary's P.O.V I didn't think that I had missed as much as I had missed while I was out but by listening to the story that Dora was telling me I did in fact miss a lot. We were even at the second location since the attack that dad was sidestepping the whole time. To be honest I felt better than what I remember feeling the last time with the doctor and his wife. I don't feel so scared and weak as I did with them and since I woke up on my own without the screams ringing through the whole room meant that hopefully, the nightmares would also not be present this time. Maybe it was the fact that I was older and understood more of what was going on in the world or maybe because in my heart I had started making peace with the fact that I was not normal and that the other people in my family were also not normal. I mean my dad can turn into a werewolf at will and Dora has this weird relationship with plants and little creatures. She also collapses when peopl
