“A wild power? I thought they were all just a myth.”

                “The human world simply said it was all myth so they wouldn’t find out about the shadow world, but it’s all real. Charisma is a wild power, the rarest of the rare; she holds within her an ounce of every creature, which you thought was mythical. The shadow council called her an enemy of the state and banished us from the shadow world.”

                “Will she be okay?”

                “Yeah, this was her first transformation on the human world and in three months, her body isn’t used to it. Listen, Seth, you can’t say anything that you have seen here to anyone. If the light council knows she’s here they will kill her.”

                “Noel?! Noel?! Where’s Charisma?” Christopher yelled as he came up the stairs. “Oh my god, did he see anything?” Chris asked as he covered Charisma up with a blanket.

                “He did, I explained everything to him and he seems to understand.” Noel said softly as she patted Charisma’s hair and rocked her.

                “Mr. Sheldon? I understand that what I have seen here cannot go past this house and I understand the situation your family is in.” I said slowly.

                “How could you possibly understand? How could you …”

                “Because I am one of you.”

                “What?!” Chris and Noel spoke at the same time.

                “I am a werewolf; I wear a necklace much like Charisma’s to hold back my power.”

                “But you asked about the wild power.” Noel said.

                “I know about the shadow world, my family left there when I was a child and I’ve worn the necklace since, I really didn’t know about the wild powers.”

                “ Mom?” Charisma’s voice was weak.

                “Yeah, babe?”

                “I’m in pain.”Charisma stated.

                “I know honey, but you brought this on yourself.” ‘Brutal but true’ I thought to myself. Charisma stood up, her auburn hair laid between her wings, her eyes shone bright green, and her teeth were perfect. She was perfect, posing as a human or not.

                “So, I guess you know all about me, huh?” She said looking at me.

                “We’re not that different.” I said. “As I explained to your parents, I’m from the shadow world too, I’m a werewolf.” A look of shock swept over her face. “I know freaky right?” I just laughed it off hoping to ease the tension in the room.

                “You know about the shadow world? But you seem so normal.” Charisma said as she sat down on her bed.

                “I have a necklace much like yours, my parents warned me never to take it off and I never have.”

                “But don’t you ever have the urge to feel the power pulse through you? To feel like you’re in control of your life and not someone else?” She interrupted me.

                “Charisma! That’s personal!” Noel said quickly.

                “No, it’s fine.” I said taking a step toward Charisma. “My family was sent to the Human world after the rumors of a werewolf uprising to regain control, like they had thousands of years ago. I was around two and didn’t understand the full extent of my power so when the necklace was on I had no urge to take it off because, well, I was basically trained to be a human.”
