Mom walked in only she did not look like mom; she looked like I did! At first, I jumped, letting out a yelp but paused as Rex ran right over to mom and jumped up on her, licking her face. Mom giggled, petting Rex for a moment then turned to me.
"I knew that when you did not come down for breakfast or lunch that your time had come." Kindly, she said. "when you told me that you had a bad lunch at school when it's summer vacation, I knew you were panicking."
"Mom... what is this?" Trembling, i demanded.
"We are the descendants of King Lycaon, the first werewolf." Softly, mom explained. "Not like what movies and books depict but we can get into that later."
"So, I'm a werewolf?" Trying to understand, I asked.
"You are a Lycan." Patiently, mom corrected. "Born as a werewolf, not transformed."
"What's the difference?" Curious, I asked.
"Those born as werewolves have their full conscious mind in wolf form." Calmly, mom explained. "Those who are transformed do not; they become animalistic."
I was feeling uncomfortable at this point. "So, what now?" Worried, I asked.
Mom smiled. "For now, you have the flu." Firmly, she replied. "Scott is still unaware and will remain unaware until it is his turn. If he sees you like this early, he will likely completely freak out."
"And tell everyone I had turned into a monster." rolling my eyes, I said.
Mom giggled. "You should be able to change back and forth after your first moon at the end of the week." Kindly, she said. "Until then, stay in bed and do not let Scott see you."
With that, she slipped out of my bedroom and closed the door.
"Great..." Huffing, I muttered. "first day of summer vacation and I'm stuck in 'quarantine'."
