It was awkward.

I mean, I expected it to be awkward but I hadn't really grasped just how awkward it would be.

We sat at the dining table.

I sat beside Tristan directly opposite Aunt Sarah and Uncle Victor.

Aunt Sarah kept fussing with the place mats on the table and kept rearranging and arranging the flowers in the vase before her.

Uncle Victor sat very still and was very quiet as he studied Tristan too intently.

Bridget and May stood at attention behind us as if they were bodyguards.

I really wished that they would sit down because I could just imagine Bridget staring daggers into the back of my head, silently blaming me for this. It made me more nervous than I already was.

"So..." I begun, deciding to break the ice.

I stopped, realising I actually didn't know what to say.

I looked at Tristan but he just stayed silent instead of helping me.

Sure I had told him I would do all the talking but since when did he actually get good at listening to me?

I looked back at Uncle Victor and he

    FLASHBACK"Do you think we're safe here?" I asked Roman in a small voice.We were at the site of Uncle Victor's latest project, the mending of an old bell tower and everyone had left knocked off already.I had stayed behind to keep Roman company. He was in charge of transporting any left over equipment.I sat in the passenger seat of his truck swinging my legs out of the open door. I had a notebook and pen in my hands because I was supposed to be writing a report for my English class on 'The Little Red Riding Hood'. The most hated book around here. Go figure.But I got easily distracted as I watched Roman load up another tool box."Safe where?" He asked. "As in here in Woodfell?"He had taken off his outer shirt leaving him with a wifebeater on underneath.Sweat glittered on his face and I couldn't help but stare at his toned arms as he worked."Yeah." I responded. "The war wasn't that long ago. Don't you get scared sometimes? About what could happen if one of the defeated packs decid

    I was so, so mad. By the time May dropped me off at home, it was already 10pm.Dinner had just been the twins, Anita and I.Tristan hadn't even shown up, apparently he had been 'too busy'.The twins seemed unfazed by this because apparently it happened all the time but I wasn't used to that.Tristan did not have the right to make surprise plans including me and not even show up for them.I had enough on my plate with the AAP as it was. Another thing that he had decided on.I tossed my backpack furiously on the floor as I walked into my room."Someone's mad." Hazel sang. She was sitting cross legged on my bed. Already in her footsie pyjamas with her curly hair done in a bun above her head.Kat was on her bed in the same form and in the same attire. Aunt Sarah had thought it would be the cutest thing to get all three of them matching pyjamas like that. I thought it was adorable as well but Parker begs to differ and getting him in his is a serious battle."Tell me about it." Kat respond

    "What do you guys think war is? In your own words?" "It's what happens when a couple of men with huge egos disagree." Bea announced, she turned to give Joshua - who was sitting next to me - a sharp look."Seriously?" Joshua whispered to himself he gripped a pencil so tightly, his knuckles begun to turn white.I guess they were still arguing. I had spent the whole day with Joshua.Since he wasn't allowed to take part in any physical activity, he even attended my physical class. Which I had with mostly freshmen.He was so utterly unimpressed and maybe even disgusted that I thought he would just leave and risk getting shocked."Hey, chicks can start wars too!" Andre spoke."The fact that you just used the word 'chicks' right now stresses the whole stupid males point." Courtney scoffed."He's right, actually." Allison spoke up in a small voice. "Queens were more likely to wage war, especially between 1480 and 1912.""That's actually true. Take Queen Isabella for instance and her strate

    "Hey juniors." I grinned at the sight of Roman, leaning against a wall. His eyes shone with excitement that his face refused to expose.But I knew him too well to know how giddy he must have been feeling right now."Oh will you look at that." Kat spoke dryly. "If it isn't one of the AAP candidates. How do you feel, hot shot?" She teased."Careful, Katherine, your envy is showing." Roman easily shot back."Lucky for me, I look amazing in green." She spoke with a smile. Roman rolled his eyes. He then looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. "What d'ya think, baby doll?""I think you should not call me baby doll." I giggled. "But are you kidding me? I'm freaking proud, Ro!""Then show me."Before I could run into his arms to give him a congratulatory hug, Chris beat me to it and wrapped his arms around my boyfriend."You are quite literally my hero, man! The freaking AAP? Point one for the outcasts." He yelled.Roman tensed up and looked at Chris awkwardly. "Thanks man but I was kind

    FLASHBACKI stumbled through the woods.'Don't be mad.' They told me. 'These things are normal.''She'll come back for you."'She loves you."Lies! All lies! They were all lying, pretending to care.Acting like this was what it would take to protect me.But who were they really protecting other than themselves?They were protecting themselves from having to tell me the truth.Which was simply, my parents ditched me here because they didn't want me.It wasn't exactly the easiest thing to tell a fourteen year old girl.So they lied and made empty promises about my mother coming back for me.Is it weird that somehow I had known?Not that she would desert me but that she would never look at me the same?The day I had fainted in PE and they had to call my mother. How I had to miss a whole two weeks of school a freaking animal's tail had emerged from no where.The constant fevers and bursts of energy. The splitting headaches that my mother would later sit me down about and explain as 'the
