"Get out! Get out of my HOUSE!"

Tina and I burst out into the cold night air, bags in hand, hearts pounding. Tears streamed down my friend's face as screams echoed down the quiet street. The peaceful harvest feast had turned into a nightmare in a matter of moments.

"And don't come back!" Tina's father bellowed after us, followed by the slam of a door that was so hard it rattled the window panes throughout the entire house. In the background, her mother was still screaming. Not even screaming words-just- screaming.

Somehow, that was even worse than the slew of awful things that Tina's father had said.

We jumped into the car, the doors slamming shut as Tina fumbled with the keys. The engine roared to life, and tires screeched as she floored the accelerator. Her hands trembled on the steering wheel as we sped away from the house, the streetlights blurring into streaks of light.

"Tina, slow down." I said, my voice shaky as I gripped the dashboard. "You're going to get us into an accident." "Sorry."

Tina eased off of the gas, but her knuckles remained white around the steering wheel. "I can't believe they reacted like that," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the hum of the engine. "Like.. Like animals."

I shuddered, wrapping my arms around myself as I remembered the scene that had unfolded just minutes ago. It was something I wouldn't soon forget. "I'm- I'm **y."

There was a long, palpable silence that seemed to stretch on for eternity. Her parents' faces went ashen, their mouths hanging agape. Instinctively, I pushed my chair back, my muscles tensing to move. My wolf had sensed Tina's father's fury before it came. I could smell it on him, that rage that he had no intention of containing.

He dropped his fork to his plate with a clatter, white hands trembling.

Tina's mother had set her own fork down more gently, although her hands shook even more than her husband's. She swallowed hard and said, "What's that, dear?"

"I'm g**y, Mom." Tina turned to look at her mother, a pleading look in her eyes. Then she looked at her father. "I'm tired of living a lie."

"During the harvest feast...." Her mother shook her head, staring blankly down at the tablecloth.

Tina shivered. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait. I thought-"

"No one gives a d** what you think." Tina's father's voice was thin, reedy. Slowly, he rose from his chair. I rose, too, my eyes darting to the door as his lip curled back to reveal his fangs Get out of my house. Both of you."

Tina didn't move."Dad-"

Isaid, get OUT!"
