Only to be welcomed by his teenage sister Thalia...
The two stayed outside for a bit and acted like children...
And then Tobias remembered that in a few hours the full moon would rise into the sky.. he began to worry.
(A close up of Thalia just so you can see her)
Tobias brought Thalia into the house and asked her to sit on the couch, they had to talk....
Tobias: "Thalia I am happy you are here and all, but why today? when you called me you said it would be tomorrow."
Thalia: "Well, mum and dad have gone out ....I don't want to spend the full moon alone, I've only just hit puberty and my powers are strengthening and I cannot control them."
'Great' Tobias thought to himself, 'just what I need, another ware wolf who cannot control themselves'
Tobias knew that for Aubrey this would become a difficult and definitely deadly situation for they were to stay with her.
Thalia could see the worry through his expression.
Thalia: "You're worried about that girlfriend of yours aren't you? Why don't you let her stay here and you and I can go to mum and dads place in the mountains?"
Tobias thought that Thalia's idea was a good one so after Aubrey got home and Tobias said goodbye, Thalia and her brother got into the taxi and went to the village in the mountains.
When they had arrived Thalia and Tobias entered the house and sat down. For the first time in a long time Thalia got to spend the full moon with her older brother who she admired so much....and she was very happy.
Everything was good, until the moon began to rise. A few minutes before hand Thalia had said she was going to the bathroom and that she would be back soon. It had been quite a while and Tobias was really worried. He decided to go check if she was ok. When he left the living room and went to the steps he saw a sight that made him feel a bit nostalgic.
Thalia was sitting on the stairs, covering her mouth with her hand to stifle her sobs. Tobias felt sorry for her. He remembered when he was a teenager and had begun transforming with the moon. He use to be terrified and hide in his room by himself, he didn't want his dad to think he was weak and childish so he kept the fear to himself.
Thalia was doing the same thing.....
Tobias knew he had to comfort her and as soon as he wrapped his arms around her Thalia let it all out. Her sobs quickly became wails until both Tobias and Thalia had transformed.....
Tobias could tell something bigger than the transformation was going on and sat with his sister and asked her what was wrong.
Through sobs Thalia muttered an answer.
Thalia: "I,I was lying when I said that mum and dad were just out.... They have gone missing, the pack notified me, I asked what was going on and they said I had to go, go somewhere safe. That's why I'm here, you are the only person I can turn to."
Thalia threw her arms around her brother and cried until there were no tears left...
Tobias wanted to cry to, but something inside him was holding him back, he had to stay strong for his little sister, she needed him....
Once Thalia had transformed back and the two were waiting for Tobias to turn they began to talk...
Tobias: "You can stay with us for as long as you need, but...Don't tell Aubrey about our parents disappearance, keeping her in the dark will keep her safe. For now, this is a secret between you and I."
Thalia: "Agreed."
Once the sun had risen and Tobias had returned to his human form the two got in the taxi and returned home, where Aubrey was there to greet them. Tobias and Thalia acted all smiley and normal but they were both holding a dark secret.
Does Tobias know more about the disappearance than he is letting on? and is he going to be able to keep this issue a secret from Aubrey?
Their love lives on....until next time.
