"A nice name for the two werewolves that my Uncle Stefan found to try and teach me control," she rolls her eyes.

"Are any kids at school werewolves?"

"Not that I know of. Sean is a Wendigo though. So are my uncles, Stefan and Damon. I told you about them, remember?"

"Is your dad one?"

"No. Dad is fully human. My mom was the werewolf. Not that he knew that, apparently."

"...I'm glad you told me."

He takes her hand(?).

She snuggles close to him again instead.

"Me too. Lying to you was..." she trails off for a moment. "I didn't like it."

"Now you don't have to. Am I the only one who knows? Besides Sean Walcott."

"Sean doesn't count. And Erica is probably very confused right now... but yeah. Just you."

"Are you going to tell Erica? I don't know her that well, I'm not sure we can trust her."

"She seems trustworthy. But not overly so that I was actually planning on telling her. I'm not sure we have much of a choice now."

"If all she has is a guess, she won't say anything. No one would believe her."

"If she guesses wrong, I'm not going to correct her. But if she figures it out, I don't want to lie to her. Maybe she'll drop it." She pauses. "Werewolves can take people's memories away..."

"Save it for a rainy day. Maybe she's not the curious type? I just don't think it's good to let too many people know. We can't control anyone else."

"If she were a wolf too, I could control her. But if she were a wolf, the whole situation would be different, obviously."

"I think I'm glad you're the only werewolf at school, if the dodgeball incident is any indication."

"We'd be undefeated in all sport though! A whole team of werewolves. Probably counts as cheating."

"Not if werewolves make the rules. Why don't you make the rules?"

"I supppse because Hunters exist and would take offense. I'd be all for it otherwise. I would be a wise and kindly ruler."

"Sorry, back up. Hunters?"

"Yeah. They hunt werewolves and other creatures if we get too loud or out of line. It's why the secrecy is such a thing."

"What are we planning on doing about them?"

"There aren't any in town right now, Stefan would have mentioned it. And even if there was... they're like the Hydra. Killing them would be counterproductive."

"I'm a human, so they won't want to kill me. Is it a good idea to talk to them if they ever show up?"

"Maybe if they find out about me? I think if you talked to them before they knew about me, might be obvious who exactly you're trying to protect."
