CAN'T FIGHT THE MOONLIGHT

CHAPTER 20-EPILOGUE

PHIL.

Keely lowered her hands from her temples and just stared into space. I saw tears glistening in her eyes.

"What happened?" Mom demanded.

"She had some sort of premonition before," I explained. "I think she had another one now."

The next thing I knew, Keely ran over to the garbage bin and vomited into it.

Curtis had come back out of hiding.

"Curtis glad no more wolves will come," he said stretching.

"Well, Keely and Phil are still werewolves," Mom explained. "But no more other wolves."

Keely was still retching over the garbage bin.

"Are you alright?" Dad asked worriedly putting a hand on her back.

I saw her whole body shaking violently. This must've been a really bad premonition that she saw.

Keely slowly stood up and wiped the corner of her mouth with the sleeve of her sweater.

"I saw who killed Mom," she said in a grainy type of voice.

"Who dear?" Mom asked looking alarmed.

"Me,"

Alarms began going off in my head. I remembered the white wolf holding Mrs. Teslow's hand…then the white wolf trying to attack Pim…it had been Keely that had attacked her own mom.

"My God," Keely choked out. "I killed my own mother!"

"It wasn't your fault," Mom said gently. "You didn't know what you were doing."

It took quite some time to calm her down, but she finally calmed down.

Things would never be the same again.

SIX YEARS LATER

PICKFORD UNIVERSITY

It was the start of the new term at Pickford University. I had taken up Science and majored in it.

Mom and Dad decided the best thing to do now was to stay in this century. Keely and I grew apart. She went off to California State University to study journalism and was now a famous reporter for WIXV Channel 3 News.

"Phil Diffy?" a voice asked behind me as I picked up my schedule.

I turned around. It was Keely.

She was holding a microphone in one hand. Behind her, her camera man held the camera on his shoulder.

She looked just as beautiful as I had seen her in the Giggle.

"Keely? Wow," I said wide-eyed.

She hesitated for a moment before she rushed forward and threw her arms around me. I hugged her tightly.

"So good to see you," Keely said.

We pulled apart after a few moments.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

She put a hand on her hip.

"Is that the welcome I get?" she asked teasingly.

"I'm sorry," I apologized quickly. "It really is good to see you again. But what are you doing here?"

"We're covering the mysterious murder of the freshman," Keely explained. "I gather you've heard about it?"

I shook my head.

"No actually," I said. "I don't stay on campus. I'm staying with my parents. What happened?"

"A freshman was found in her dorm," Keely said gravely. The color drained from her face. "She was torn to shreds."
