chapter six: weird, strange

Melissa p.o.v

For the first time in my life I was enjoying the life in the city, I made new friends and I love college, but one thing I can't get out of my head was the fact that I always hear the wolves howling almost every night and whenever I bring the topic about it my aunt finds an excuse to ignore it.

One time, I was doing my homework and suddenly I heard it again and this time it was louder like it was some kind of pain. I quickly looked out of the window but I didn't hear it again.

Sometimes I wonder if I happen to imagine things or that I have been watching a lot of supernatural films, that I imagined if this city could have a vampire or werewolf. Honestly I like to think like that.

The next day as usual I went to school by bus, when I felt the urge to join some extracurricular activities, I like playing volleyball so I went to speak to a secretary and asked her about it.

When I reached the office, there was a guy talking to her, I excused myself and talked to the secretary and she told me where to find the room and then I looked at the guy who was waiting for his turn.

It then hit me, he was the same guy I saw at the airport and was yelling loudly on the phone and also whose bodyguard threw money at.

I tried to talk to him, but he kept on denying that I was mistaken and that he never saw me, I couldn't understand was he trying to ignore me I thought. By the time I wanted to talk to him he had already disappeared and left me standing in the middle of the room.

I went to class and did my daily routine and in the evening I had a gym, I joined my new friends when suddenly a guy came up to us and he handed me my journal and he introduced himself as Mike.

He had a red hair, muscular body and blue eyes. He looked so cute and he invited us to party he was holding at his house. I hesitated but my friends agreed so I I nodded my head.

As mike walked away, I saw two boys running out of the room, I was curious to see so I followed them from behind but they were already gone.

I shrugged then went back to my friends who were waiting for me. I went back to the changing room took a warm shower and left school since it was the end of the day.

As always, my aunt would pick me up and we go for dinner, drive around then go home, but this time it was different my aunt took me somewhere and it was a car dealership.

There were different cars, people were looking for cars, but I didn't know why my aunt brought me here.

"So what do you think about having your own car?" She asked as she stood next to a Porsche and it looked so good especially with red and black strips. She opened the door and told me to sit in it.

When I got in, I fell for the design and it was so beautiful, I clapped my hands together with excitement and my aunt knew that I liked it.

"Do you want to take it? She asked as she helped me out of the car.

"Of course yes, i love it Aunty thank you so much" i giggled with excitement as i kept peeping it from the outside.

Soon we were joined by a man in a suit and asked us if we liked the car. I stared at him then I realised that he looked familiar, he was the same guy who came to see my aunt the other day.

I was about to ask him but my aunt said that she wanted to talk to him in private, which seemed strange. It was like my aunt wanted to ignore the question and I didn't protest so I let her be.

She and the man walked in the office leaving me alone so I stood there waiting for her to come back.

I didn't know why she was taking so long to come out so I walked towards the office that's when she came out in a quick pace. She grabbed my arm and told me to get in the car.

"Aunty, are you ok?" I asked as I saw her hands trembling as she tried to start the car.

"Am fine dear, am just tired" she said avoiding eye contact with me.

I didn't ask her any questions so I waited until we got home. Luckily she managed to drive us without causing any accidents.

We got home and she took a heavy breath to try and calm down. She closed her eyes and started saying words that I couldn't understand. So I waited until she starts to talk.

After she was done, she looked at me inspecting my body from head to toe then she opened the door of the car and walked inside the house.

I didn't know how to react, so I followed her inside only to find no one inside,she wasn't in the kitchen where she always sits down to have a drink before she goes to bed.

I wanted to know what was going on that is making my aunt act so suspicious, I decided to find out what it was the next day. I was so tired and I didn't feel like I wanted to talk to her about it, so I went to bed.

The next morning, I went downstairs and my aunt was in the kitchen humming to the music that was playing in the living room and she was dancing to it, she didn't look like she was stressed out or worried like last night.

I greeted her and sat on the seat where she had put my plate of food. She looked at me smiling and I asked her how she was feeling despite what happened the previous night.

"What are you talking about? An fine as always" she said while pouring a glass of juice for me.

"Am talking about, the way you acted so scared and worried when we came from the dealership Aunty, is there something that you are not telling me?" I asked.

"Trust me, there's nothing to worry about so finish your breakfast you don't wanna be late for school " she said taking a bite of the cookie.

Whatever it was, I needed to get bottom of it, am not sure what it is, but it wasn't "nothing " then what is it that she happened to act so strange...
