I huffed.
“It is not me!” I said through gritted teeth.
He was so unfair sometimes.
“Alex, tell him it’s not me!” I demanded, nudging Alex.
Alex was a proper big brother. He looked out for me. Felix was always picking on me.
“It’s not Calix,” said Alex, his exp**ssion worried.
“Is it you, then, timekeeper? What? Did you just calculate that it’ll take ten years to learn all those pack laws so you’re wishing you started a year ago?” Grumbled Felix.
Alex narrowed his eyes but did not respond. The doorbell rang. Aha!
“Our first clue!” I announced.
“Great, go answer the door!” Ordered Felix, ripping out a page from his sketchbook and crumpling it up.
“Don’t you guys wanna investigate with me?” I asked.
“You take this one, Calix,” said Alex encouragingly, patting my shoulder.
I got up and went to the entrance room. I peeked outside. I gasped. The cutest girl ever was out there. I fixed my hair in the mirror nearby quickly and answered the door.
I got a better look at the girl. I smiled. I could not help it. I hoped I was not blushing like an idiot. She had big brown eyes like Bambi and long blonde curls like Goldilocks. Her skin was golden even in the dead of winter. I felt a bit shy. She did not look very happy to be here. Maybe she was a girl scout and she had to sell cookies door to door even on a cold day like this. That was probably it! I should buy a couple boxes! That would make her smile!
“Hi,” I said. “Are you selling cookies? I want three boxes for me and my brothers.”
Shoot! I should not have mentioned my brothers. I didn’t want them to meet the girl scout. They always stole my stuff and my friends and by they, I meant mostly Felix. Felix would show off and make me look bad and try to take her from me. The girl’s response interrupted my inner rambling.
“No!” She said, seeming a little miffed.
She was sniffling. Her nose was pink and her eyes were a little puffy. Her voice was pretty. I wanted to sniff her.
“I’m supposed to ask for Luna Ronnie,” she said.
Huh? Mom?
“My mom?” I asked, confused.
She shrugged. She was here for my Mom, the Luna. I smirked. Mom and I were so close. I was sure the girl would be imp**ssed.
“I’m Calix,” I said, introducing myself. “My mom is Luna Ronnie. My father’s the Alpha!”
She shrugged again. She glanced behind her at two people and a parked car. I peered out into the falling snow. I could barely make them out in this weather but it was a pale guy and a lady with a deep complexion. Both wolves. My Alpha senses were still developing slowly. I was six years away from my first shift.
“Get Luna Ronnie now!” Demanded the girl.
I frowned. She had not even introduced herself. I did not wanna make her mad so I went to get Mom.
“Mom?” I called, walking back into the living room.
“She’s upstairs,” said Alex, looking up from his book. “What’s wrong?”
“A girl is here for Mom,” I said.
“What?!” Snapped Felix. “People can’t just demand to see the Luna or the Alpha!” Complained Felix.
“Does the girl have an appointment? Is Mom expecting her?” Asked Alex, closing his book.
They were being annoying.
“Yes,” I lied.
They looked suspicious. I ran upstairs to get Mom quickly so they couldn’t hassle the girl.
“Mom! Mom! Mom?” I called, looking around.
The door to my parents’ room was locked but I banged on it.
“MOM!” I yelled.
Mom came scrambling out, her cheeks flushed. Dad came out behind her, looking angry at me.
“A girl is here to see you, Mom. It’s extremely important…to me, that you go see her, please!” I insisted.
Mom smiled. She ruffled my hair. She made her way down stairs without any questions asked unlike her nosy sons, Felix and Alex. Yes! I followed her downstairs. Dad threw me an annoyed look and went into the kitchen.
I could hear Felix talking to the girl from the landing. Oh no! He was trying to steal her!
“Mom, hurry!” I said, grabbing her hand.
“Calix, calm down,” she chuckled.
“Who is she to you?” I heard Felix say.
“I don’t know,” said the girl.
“I’m Felix,” said Felix.
Aha! He was trying to get her for himself!
“Ok, whatever, please get your mother,” insisted the girl.
Haha! Shot down! Felix was pissed off. I saw him stomp away as we reached the bottom of the stairs and I made a face at him.
Alex was peeking out at the girl from the window just like I had done earlier.
“Mom, the girl needs privacy to talk to you,” I whined softly.
We were identical and I needed the girl to know that I was the one who fetched Mom for her.
“Alex, go inside now!” Said Mom as she reached the door.
Alex scampered away. He was big on following rules.
I hid behind Mom, hoping she did not send me away. She pushed me gently to the side so I ducked under the window sill and peeped over and out at the girl every now and then as they talked.
The girl had begun to cry. As soon as that happened, that weird sad feeling got worse. I wanted to cry too! I held it in. If Felix only saw me, he would never let me hear the end of it.
“What’s going on?” Asked Mom.
Mom was looking at one of the people in the driveway in the falling snow. It was the guy.
“Where’s he going?” Cried Mom when the guy and the lady got in the car and drove off suddenly.
“STOP!” Screamed Mom.
I gasped as I watched Mom run into the deep snow. The car sped up and got out of there fast. Those people left that little girl without proper instructions! I wondered if she was their daughter! They were not good parents. The girl was unlucky. She did not have a Mom like mine. Mom would never leave me with strangers no matter what. I wondered what time they were coming back to pick up the little girl. I looked on the porch. I wiped the window glass a little. There was something there. A suitcase. I gasped again. Wow! She was staying for a really long sleepover. She did not look excited at all though but I was really fun. I knew how to make s’mores and I knew a lot of good scary stories. I was a lot cooler than Felix and Alex would admit. She would see and then she would want to come over here all the time. I pictured telling the girl a story in the spooky attic upstairs. That was when my daydream got interrupted because Mom started screaming a lot!
“Don’t leave! I can help you! Please! Don’t leave me! Chase! CHASE!!! DON’T GO! LET ME HELP YOU!!!” Mom screamed.
I never saw her act like that before. It made me really scared and sad but I still didn’t cry. Mom tripped and fell in the deep, crunchy snow. Oh no! I wanted to go help her but I was not really supposed to be eavesdropping. Felix said I always blew their cover. I stayed inside but I kept a close eye on Mom. She was really upset. Ok. This was an emergency now! She could get sick. The snow was falling in her hair and I could see her breath because it was so cold.
“Dad!” I said, running into the kitchen.
Dad looked up from his newspapers. Dad was so Alex-like or maybe Alex was Dad-like.
“Mom is in trouble!” I said breathlessly. “Come quick!”
Dad got up and immediately went outside to check on Mom. He picked her up and placed her on her feet.
“Where are they?” Yelled Dad.
He was mad that the parents of the little girl did not give enough notice before the sleepover. It was irresponsible but Mom crying and Dad yelling was making it worse. They were gonna spoil everything. And everyone was always accusing me of being dramatic?
“They’re gone,” cried Mom.
Dad looked at the girl.
“She can’t stay here!” Said Dad.
Ugh! Why not?! He was so lame!
