“Oh,” she said, positively dumbfounded. I couldn’t really blame her, since the idea of an animal being able to transform into a human and a human being able to transform into an animal was pretty hard to wrap your head around.
“Yeah,” I said in agreement. “It’s kind of hard to think about I guess but it makes just as much sense as werewolves and vampires do.”
“No ‘I guess’ about it,” Alexa replied. There were a few seconds of silence, then Alexa asked, “So what’s the second thing you came over to tell me?”
“Well, I don’t think Kodiak’s telling me the whole truth still,” I admitted to her. True, it was just a hunch, but my first suspicion about him had been right so I was pretty sure there was something to it.
“What else is there for him to tell you?” She looked at me questioningly and shrugged her shoulders. “I mean, he’s already told you what he is, so what else can there be for him to hide?”
“I don’t know, but I think there’s something else that he’s hiding about his identity or his past.” I just had the feeling that there was something more to what he was that he wasn’t telling me; I had no idea what he was hiding from me, I just knew that he was hiding something and that I wanted desperately to know it.
“I’m not saying he isn’t hiding something from you, but how exactly are you going to figure out what he’s hiding if he is hiding something?” Alexa looked at me skeptically, clearly doubting my theory that Kodiak had more to hide.
“I…” I paused, knowing exactly what the truth was but not wanting to say it. “I… I don’t know Alexa. I have no idea what Kodiak is hiding from me or how I’m going to figure that out, but I just know he’s hiding something.” I grasped for words, not knowing how to put into words I wanted to say. “Have you ever just known that something’s true? Like, without any proof that says it is or any reasons to back it up?” I asked her.
“Yeah,” Alexa answered slowly, looking at me concernedly, like she thought I was losing my sanity. Silly her; I had lost my sanity a long time before that.
“Well that’s how it is for me. I have no proof that Kodiak’s hiding something else from me, all I have are my suspicions, yet I know in my heart that he is, I just know it!” I exclaimed, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t going crazier.
“Are you saying that you have faith in your instincts Ellise?” Alexa questioned, looking at me curiously.
“Yeah, I guess I am,” I replied, returning her gaze.
“Ellise, that might not such a good idea,” she told me, and we both laughed, at the fact that it was part false and at the fact that it was part true.

“Do you think I should tell Ellise about our… parents?” I asked Nymeria cautiously, willing her not to bite my head off. I knew that our family was a sore spot for her but I had to get her opinion since she was often more rational than I was.
“Well, it’s another one of those trust things. Do you trust Ellise enough to tell her the whole truth, or do you not feel comfortable with her knowing all about us and our family? It’s your choice. Just remember that there always is a fail-safe in case you make the wrong choice, that we can always go into hiding away from the humans.” She put her copy of Time magazine down and looked up at me. “I’d think that if you felt comfortable telling Ellise that you’re not human that you’d be fine with her knowing about our parents, but maybe I’m presuming wrong by thinking that.”
“I guess I should tell her,” I muttered, flopping down on the couch next to her. “But I don’t want to risk being dumped again, considering that I almost got dumped once already today.”
“You have to tell her though Kodiak or she’ll sniff you out,” Nymeria told me, rising to her feet and stretching. “She smelled out your last lie easily, but that might have been because you were reckless and stupid about hiding it.” I could tell that she was still bitter and uneasy about humans, especially teenage girls, knowing our secret, but she would have to trust me this time. However, there was no arguing with the fact that I had been careless and even downright dumb about hiding my secret around Ellise.
“True,” I agreed, despite the fact that I didn’t want to admit that she was right. “So when should I tell her?”
“Whenever you grow enough of a pear to,” Nymeria replied frankly. “God knows when that might be though.” She shot me a look and then walked down the hallway towards her room, magazine in hand.
“Thanks Ny, that was such a good answer,” I yelled after her in disgust. I made a face and then stopped myself in shock.
“Oh my God Nymeria might actually be right,” I muttered, burying my face in my hands. There was no might about it if you looked at the facts though; I had been kind of unmanly in my relationship with Ellise. It took me about a month to work up the courage to ask her out, and when I finally was dating her it took me a little while longer to get the bravery to tell her my secret. And here I was again, unable to find the guts to tell Ellise the truth. Suddenly a realization hit me in the face harder than any punch ever had.
“Holy [censored] Valentine’s Day is in a week!”

What was I going to get Ellise? I had to get her something special, but I only had a week to find her the perfect gift. And the gift had to be perfect, because God knew I had a lot of stuff to make up for. I didn’t want to have to do this, but I couldn’t see any other alternative: I had to ask Nymeria for advice.

“So you’re coming to your older sister for advice on what to get your girlfriend?” Nymeria asked me skeptically, amusement tingeing her voice as she looked up at me and tapped her fingers on the table.
“Yeah, I guess I am,” I replied, looking at her and shrugging. “I know it’s kind of hard to believe, but I guess I am,” I repeated, resigning myself to what had come to pass.
“I never thought this day would come,” she murmured, shaking her head, “but I’m kind of glad that it has, since it means that we’re blending in and being absorbed into human society.”
I didn’t say anything in response, mostly because anything I would have said would have pissed Nymeria off. After a few seconds, I asked, “So what do girls want for Valentine’s Day? Well, to be specific, what should I get Ellise for Valentine’s Day?”
“Well, I can’t tell you exactly what you should get Ellise because I don’t know her that well, but I can give you ideas as to what she might like,” Nymeria told me.
“Ok, cool.”
“So, to start with, I would say that you definitely need to get her roses or some kind of flowers, since every girl wants flowers.” Nymeria tapped her chin in thought. “Hmm… chocolate or candy of some kind wouldn’t be a bad idea either.”
“Ok. Is there anything else?” So far, she hadn’t told me anything that I didn’t already know, as apparently she thought I knew absolutely nothing about girls.
“Well, if you really want to go full-out and be the overachieving boyfriend, you could get her jewelry of some kind. However, you have to realize that you could be spending a lot if you get her quality jewelry.” Nymeria looked over at me. “Something you have to consider and be practical about.”
“Ny, I want to get Ellise the best gift in the whole wide world, no matter how much it costs, since my gift to her is probably going to be part of my apology.” I didn’t want to admit that I was going to have to try to buy Ellise’s heart, but I had a lot to apologize for. “So, knowing that, what do you suggest I get her?” I asked her in a serious tone.
“Well, if you want to go all-out and be a really good boyfriend, I would suggest that you get her some kind of jewelry.” Nymeria looked me directly in the eye and I knew that that was what I had to get Ellise.
“Do you think I should get her a necklace or earrings or what?” I was leaning towards getting her a necklace, but Nymeria was the girl here so what she told me would determine what I got.
“If I were the one getting jewelry as a gift, I would probably prefer a necklace over earrings. I don’t know Ellise’s preferences though.”
“Ok. What kind of necklace do you think I should get her?” I knew I was asking a lot of questions but I was determined to get the perfect gift for Ellise.
Nymeria smirked and said, “Maybe I should just go with you to the jeweler.”
“But really Ny, what kind of necklace do you think I should get her?” I didn’t really want to put up with Nymeria’s smart-talk, but I had to if I wanted her help.
“Well, if you really want to spend a lot of money, you can get her a necklace that’s customized with her name. However, you’re looking at a thousand dollars at least if you do that,” she told me. “Just something to consider.”
“Ny, I don’t care how much it costs; I just want to be the best boyfriend that I can. I’ve got money to pay for it and I really want to try to show Ellise how much I care and how much I’m sorry for all the crap I’ve done.” I cared so much about her that she had become my reason for existing and I hoped to show her that with my gift.
“You’re trying to buy your girlfriend’s heart?” she asked, her tone stern and disapproving.
