In The Dark1111

Mothers were supposed to love unconditionally. Mine didn't. In fact, she tried to kill me on my thirteenth birthday, when she saw just how different I was. My dad saved my life that night. He also took her away on an extended vacation, leaving me with an ever-absent uncle. Five years later, solitude was something I lived by. I had to because I was different and people tended not to cope well with the unusual. In fact, they hated me for it, were even scared of me because of it. I thought I was meant to live alone, until Isaac Grey took notice of me. He changed my life, taught me I wasn't the only one who was different, and I didn't need to be alone. But with love comes sacrifice and then pain. Could I ever escape living in the dark?

Chapter Twenty-Two: Uncle Jack's Back

"What the fuck is going on in here?"

Shit, shit, shit. My uncle was home. What was he doing home?

Already altered back, I quickly threw on some clothes and ran down the hall, straight into the kitchen, and sidled up to Uncle Jack. Unfortunately, a nice warm shower was going to have to wait until later.

Gregory stood and held out his hand to Jack. "We just finished up dinner. My name's Gregory. I'm Isaac's father."

I nudged Jack in the ribs when he didn't take Greg's hand. Thankfully, he snapped to it and gruffly said, "Jack Helavay, Leila's uncle." Jack looked at Gregory with dubious eyes. "Do you condone men in my house with my eighteen-year-old niece? Men who have swords strapped to their backs?" he asked, eyeing Xavier, Adan and Darik. They stood in front of Isaac near the back door.

It was on the tip of my tongue to tell him to mind his own business, but I didn't get the chance.
