She slammed the door open and went straight to the kitchen. Rachel looked up both shocked and excited. She wanted to walk to her, but Kelsey raised her hand. “Don’t come any closer” she said. “I just spent the most horrible and painful night of my life and I want to know why”
“Honey, I only know the big lines. I can’t tell you much” Rachel said. “Your father is coming home soon and he’ll be furious if he knows you’re here”
“Dad doesn’t have any right to be furious” Kelsey snapped. “He lied to me. He’s been keeping secrets from me”
“I know and I can’t make up for him, but please understand that shutting you out was a very painful decision” Rachel said.
“What am I?” Kelsey asked.
“You’re a werewolf” Rachel sighed. “The werewolf gene runs in your family from your mother’s side” She picked a piece of paper and a pen and wrote something down. She handed it to Kelsey who accepted it. “This is her address. I’ve been keeping contact with her to let her know how you were doing. Your father obviously doesn’t know. Anything you want to know you should ask her”
“Alright, then” Kelsey said. “Is my sister home?” she asked, hoping her father had lied about summer camp. But Rachel shook her head. “No, she left” Kelsey nodded. “Then I guess this is goodbye” And again Rachel wanted to come closer to her, but Kelsey turned around and walked out on her.

The waitress walked through the back door. She was taking a break. She felt two eyes on her and looked aside.
Cas was staring at her.
“Hi” she said. She walked to him. “You were acting strange earlier”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled. “You remind me of someone”
“Your girlfriend?” the waitress guessed.
Cas shook his head. “She wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my…”
“Sex buddy” the waitress helped. “I’m Lucy”
“I’m Cas” Cas said.
“Cas?” Lucy said intrigued. “That’s an uncommon name” She came closer to him and took his collar. She dragged him into one of the toilets and locked the door. She threw her arms around his neck and jumped in his arms. She kissed him and Cas forced her against the wall.
“Aaaahhh!” she exclaimed. She pushed Cas away and looked at him terrified.
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled concerned.
“It’s okay” Lucy said, but Cas unlocked the door and ran away.

The next morning
Cas opened the door of the house and helped Daphne inside. He guided her to the sitting room and put her gently down on the couch.
“You know, I’ve been thinking” Daphne said. “With you around I don’t need a car. Makes things a lot cheaper”
“Can I get you something?” Cas asked.
Daphne shook her head. “You’re here. That’s enough for now”
Cas wasn’t used to that much gratitude and he’d have to adjust to it.
“Actually” Daphne started. “Could you give me the phone? I need to call the locksmith to tell him I won’t be needing his services after all. I gave Zoey her key back”
Cas smiled weak. “I’m glad you made it up with each other”

Cas kicked the door of their bedroom open. Daphne was sitting on top of Mitch.
“Daphne” Mitch said, looking at Cas.
“Don’t worry” Daphne said with a heavy voice. “That’s my husband. He knows I have my needs. It’s not my fault he’s incompetent”
Mitch pushed her off of him and searched for his clothes. Cas turned around and ran downstairs.
“What are you doing?” Daphne asked grumpy. “Come back in bed”
“Are you completely out of your mind?” Mitch exclaimed.
“Oh, please, you knew I was married” Daphne said.
“That was really low” Mitch said. “Get dressed. I’m done here. You go find someone else to consider your needs”
“Come on, don’t be like that” Daphne said.
They heard an enormous crack and they jumped.
“What the hell was that?” Mitch asked.
“Daphne” Mitch said, looking at Cas.
