SEVERING TIES
“That is it!” Mr. Scott shouted, rising from the ground, helping his wife and daughter do the same. "That is the last straw, young lady! Pack your stuff and get out! You don't live here anymore!"
All eyes fell on Mr. Scott with horror at his announcement even Melody seemed dazed.
“George, you don't mean that" Mrs. Scott began almost pleadingly.
“Yes, I do mean it! I can't take this anymore. If she wants so badly to be a monster, then let her live with monsters! I'm not having it in my house and that is final!”
"Dad..”Todd began darkly
"I don't care what the circumstances are. She's still my sister, and you're still her father. And if Katherine goes then so do I.”
“Then go! All of you, just go!" Mr. Scott shouted, waving his arms at them, as though it would make them magically disappear.
"Fine," Todd said coldly. "You can send our things to us later then."
He grabbed Katherin

KATHERINE TODD AND THE TRUTH
"You know that we have to tell him, don't you?" Tyler asked from the driver's seat of his black Porsche, Todd in the Mustang behind them. "I know," Katherine said quietly. "I just wish.." She trailed off, unable or unwilling to finish the sentence. "You wish that he could've found out a different way, that you could've told him when you were ready. I am so sorry, Katherine," Tyler said, his voice suddenly sorrowful. "This is all my fault. I should've found some way to…" Katherine took Tyler's hand from the steering wheel and laced her fingers through his. "There's nothing you could have done about it. This is Convel's fault, not yours. I just don't understand why he would want to do this. He's never tried to hurt me before." Tyler's hand visibly tightened on the wheel as he listened to Katherine remark. "Understanding why is simple enough. He's a greedy, power hungry monster. He wasn't trying to kill you, Katherine. He was tryi
KATHERINE THEIR MOMENT
Katherine walked over to Tyler, looking over her shoulder at Giselle as she exited the room.The walk to Katherine's new room was silent and rife with unspoken words between her and Tyler. As they walked down the hall, their footfalls muffled by the lush carpet, Katherine snuck a glance at Tyler. She couldn't help wondering how he felt about all this: the disastrous Thanksgiving dinner, the attack on her parents house, her brother's residence in his home... Not to mention all this nonsense about a prophecy. All of it seemed so absurd now that Katherine nearly laughed aloud, only just catching herself before the first sound of it could escape her lips
KATHERINE CURE OF CURIOSITY
Katherine had been down to the Basement several times after Giselle had told her about the Clans, mostly so that Study could eagerly show off all of his very advanced computer equipment. Katherine could easily say that Study was the younger brother she never had and that she adored him as much as she would have if he had been her younger brother. He was always very open and honest in his own shy way so that Katherine had always felt that she could ask him anything.Which was why Katherine was walking down the halls as noiselessly as she could, making her way to the Basement. She had felt rather odd about asking the others about their powers and what vampire, werewolf and merpeople myths were actual reality. It would seem rude to ask
KATHERINE CONFRONTING CONVEL
Fog surrounded Katherine as her feet sunk into the usual grittiness of the sand with each step she took.Katherine walked toward the bright flashing light that she now knew was a lighthouse."Father?" she called."Ye have been trying to contact me, lass? What did you need, me bonnie Bellet? Are ye in some kind of trouble?"Convel stepped out of the fog., his pace quickened by his obvious concern for her."I'm fine,"Katherine said stiffly.Her tone stopped him in his tracks a few feet away from her."What's wrong then? Have I done something to upset ye?"Katherine took a deep calming breath, inhaling the sea air, wet from the waves crashing upon the shore."You tell me. Why did you send two lycanthropes to my parents' house last night?"To Katherine's surprise, Convel's lips stretched out into a charming smile. He looked quite handsome at that moment and Katherine could see exactly why Giselle had fallen for him.
KATHERINE SNEAKING OUT
As quietly and quickly as possible, Katherine opened her door, peeking out into the hallway to make sure no one was up yet, and crept over to Tyler's door. She put her ear to it and could hear the distinct sound of snoring inside. Katherine's lips curled into an amused smile.I am definitely using that as blackmail material later..Slowly, careful to be as noiseless as possible, Katherine turned the handle to Tyler's door and tiptoed inside, closing the door behind her. Tyler was laying on his back, one arm across his chest, the other stretched above his head.He looked so beautiful with strands of black hair falling into his eyes.As though drawn by a magnet. Katherine stepped toward him. Another step... another... a fourth. And then she was beside him, staring at his peaceful face, her breaths coming short and ragged.He could wake up any second. You're crazy. Just grab the keys and go already. You've lost your mind. Katherine leaned down. This i
KATHERINE FINDING HER
Tyler quickly strode to the door leading to the hallway, nearly tearing it open in his rush to get out. Once in the hallway he Flitted to Katherine's door, and without even bothering to knock he opened it.Her bed was empty and still made even if a bit messy as though she had slept on top of the covers rather than under them.A laptop Tyler had seen her using before laid open on the messy coverlet. Tyler quickly exited the room, storming down the halls as he shouted at the top of his lungs."GISELLE!!!The coven started Flitting out into the hallway, most yawning tiredly with murmured questions of what was going on.Finally, after what seemed ages Giselle appeared in her white silk robe, hair sticking out wildly and a bemused expression playing across her half-awake features."Tyler, what in the world-""She's gone, Giselle. Katherine is gone," Tyler blurted out in an unusually panicked manner. "she took my keys, Giselle."Tyle
KATHERINE THEIR SECRET MEETING
The oars parted the water, forming small waves as Katherine rowed the small boat toward the island. Katherine had borrowed the rowboat from a closed boat rental business on the docks of Merytonburg. Not knowing how to drive a motorboat, Katherine had figured that the small wooden craft would have to suffice. She had thought that the work of the constant rowing would be tiring but surprisingly she found it easy, and she soon found herself within view of the lighthouse's brightly shining beacon.Somehow, Katherine knew that Convel had ordered it just for her, to make him easier to find.The closer each row brought Katherine to the island, the more she wondered if she was doing the right thing. Convel had already proven himself dangerous to her, even if only indirectly. Some part of her tried to hold onto the belief that it hadn't been on his order that those lycanthropes had invaded her home, yet the fact that he merely laughed at her when she asked him about it didn't b
KATHERINE THE CHOICE
"I had hoped that we could share my vision and lead our race into a brighter future... together," he said darkly."A brighter future?" Katherine said in disbelief, anger overriding the warning her instincts were telling her.Get out of there, Katherine, the warning seemed to say. Get out of there now.."What brighter future? The one where you enslave all of mankind? You mean that future? Have you never even heard of The Ten Commandments? The movie where God sends Moses to free al the slaves because slavery is - you know-bad?""Katherinet, ye are young -far too young to understand all that is about to take place. I hope that one day we will stand side by side as father and daughter, fightin' for the future of our kind. But know that what I do now, I do for yer sake as much as for the sake of all our kind" Convel said, his voice heavy with regret."And what exactly is it that you're going to do ?" Katherine asked, folding her arms and glaring at Conv
