The Truth Comes Out

<p>"Werewolves?" Hailey asks, as her, Johnny, and Trixie look on in disbelief.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"We have some questions about your father." Danny Argent says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Hailey eyes widen, as Jacob slowly gets to his feet, clutching his shoulder.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"You know, you could have just called, right?" Jacob sarcastically says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Well we didn't know your number. Or your address. Or just where the hell you've been for the last three years, so we didn't really have a lot of options." Jessica replies <br/><br/><br/><br/>Jacob looks up and smirks.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"It's nice to see you too, Jess. Glad there's no hard feelings between us."<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Keep it professional." Danny tells his daughter.<br/><br/><br/>Jessica nods, while still staring at Jacob.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Johnny and the others listen to this conversation, confused and scared.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I'm sorry to interrupt. But can someone, please tell us- What the hell is going on?! Why are they are here?! And Werewolves exist?! This absolutely cra-"<br/><br/><br/>Trixie stops rambling as she and the others look over at Jacob. All three of them look on as Jacobs eyes start to flicker bright yellow uncontrollably.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Nevermind. I'll just stand her quietly- rethinking everything in my life." Trixie says.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>The young werewolf looks at his friends in disappointment, failing to keep this side of himself a secret from them.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"That wolfsbane bullet isn't enough to kill you, but it still hurts like hell." Danny says. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Jacob looks over at Hailey and the others.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I'm sorry. I promise you guys, I'll explain everything later." Jacob says, still feeling the effects of the bullet.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Your parents wanted to keep you kids out of it, but it didn't really workout that way." Danny adds.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The three of them are even more shocked.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Parents? My mom knows about this stuff?" Trixie asks.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I didn't know about the Principal, but- the Sheriff definitely knows." Jacob says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Johnny is shocked by this.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"My dad too?"<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"What about my brother? Does he know?"<br/><br/><br/><br/>Jacob looks at the worried look in her eyes.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I don't know. The Sheriff said only a few knew, but I'm not sure if that includes your brother." <br/><br/><br/><br/>Jacob then turns his attention to the Argents.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I haven't seen my father in years- I don't know where he is, or why he's killing your guys. All I want, is to just be a normal kid in high school."<br/><br/><br/>Both Danny and Jessica look at him for a moment.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"What about your brother?" <br/><br/><br/>Jacob is confused for a moment.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"What about my brother?" Jacob asks.<br/><br/><br/>Danny sighs.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"We've heard that... his eyes are blue. And we both know what that means." Jessica says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Most importantly, you know our code. If a wolf spills innocent blood, he becomes a target. And since your brothers in town, he's a target. So where is he?"<br/><br/><br/><br/>Jacob doesn't answer for a moment.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I don't know that either." <br/><br/><br/><br/>Jessica stares at Jacobs face for a few seconds.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"He's lying." <br/><br/><br/>Danny sighs, pulling out his gun and aiming it at Jacobs head.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I guess it's time for threats." Jacob says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Woah, woah, woah. Hang on, can't we talk about this?" Johnny asks.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I'm done talking. Tell me what I want to know, now."<br/><br/><br/>Jacob and Danny Argent stare each other down for a moment.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"My answer isn't changing." Jacob says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Maybe it should, he does have a gun." Trixie says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Please put down the gun, sir." Hailey begs.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Dad." Jessica says, worried that he might actually shoot.<br/><br/><br/>At that moment Tiffany jumps through the window, catching everyone's attention as Jacob smiles. Her eyes turn dark red, with black veins under her eyes and she shows off her fangs and hisses at the two hunters.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Vampire." Jessica says.<br/><br/><br/>Jacob smirks.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Damn Strait." Jacob replies.<br/><br/><br/>While Danny is distracted, Jacob kicks the gun out of his hand and throws him to the side. Jacob then starts to walk towards him but he falls to the ground in pain. Jessica then pulls out her bow and aims an arrow at Jacob. As the two Make eye contact with each other, she hesitates for a split second. Tiffany then swings at her, but Jessica barely dodges it. Jessica swings the bow but Tiffany catches it and hisses at her. Jessica then knees Tiffany in the side, but Tiffany, now angry throws her to the wall where her father is. Tiffany super speeds to Jacob and helps him up to his feet.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"So those two must be the hunters that you were talking about." Tiffany says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Yep." <br/><br/><br/>Jacob gets paler as sweat runs down his face. As Tiffany and Johnny help Jacob up and try to leave, Danny and Jessica get in their way. At that moment Ryan jumps through the ceiling and in between the hunters and his brother. Ryan throws Tiffany his keys.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"You guys, take my little brother out of here. My car is out front." Ryan says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"I'm not...leaving you." Jacob struggles to say.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Don't argue. I'll be fine."<br/><br/><br/>As they start to walk to the other exit, The Argents try to stop them, but Ryan eyes begin to glow blue and he roars. Johnny, Hailey, Tiffany, Trixie and Jacob make it outside as they hear gun fire and roaring in the background. Ryan then jumps through another window and they get into the car and drive off as the Argents look on. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Alright, we need a place to lay low for awhile." Ryan says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"My place." Jacob says.<br/><br/><br/>Hailey then looks at Jacobs bullet wound.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Hey, that doesn't look so good." She said.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Yeah hold that thought. You got a lighter?"<br/><br/><br/><br/>Ryan nods, reaching into his pocket and tosses it to his brother.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Thanks." <br/><br/><br/><br/>He sparks the lighter and puts it to the wound. As the wolfsbane burns out, his eyes start to glow bright yellow. As the wound heals, blue smoke fades in the car.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"That..was..AWESOME!" Johnny says.<br/><br/><br/>Everyone stares at Johnny as he slumps down in his seat.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"So now can someone explain what's going on, because I'm freaking out right now." Trixie says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Well it's... kinda complicated." Jacob says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Alright kiddos, I'm going to say this very fast so try to keep up. Me and my little brother here, are werewolves. The one sitting in the back with you is a Vampire, those two back at the school are hunters who kill people like us. There, you're all caught up."<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"So they came after you because of your dad?" Hailey asks.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"And me, to be fair." Ryan says.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Yeah, they said something about your eyes." Johnny says.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Both Jacob and Ryan look at each other.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"It's complicated." They both say.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Ok. So what are we gonna do now?" Hailey asks.<br/><br/><br/>Jacob gets confused.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"We?" <br/><br/><br/><br/>Trixie, Johnny, and Hailey all look at each other.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"We're all involved now. We stick together." Hailey says.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Jacob looks at his friends and brother with a smile.</p>
