Chapter 67: Conversation
Apryl was oddly in luck by the time that she had made it back to the house. Brian didn't seem to be home nor did it look like Lydia was around either. She guessed that her aunt probably had gone out to do some shopping as she was aware that they were getting low on groceries again.
Before she went out to go and see her family she decided to swap out of the blouse and jeans she was wearing for a plain t-shirt and shorts that was easier to move in due to being slightly oversized for her. She hoped that she would have enough time to talk everything through with them before either her aunt or Brian came back home.
Thinking about her own family, there was always one question in the back of her mind that she couldn't wonder about- how come none of Aunt's pups had come to visit since they had been there or why did it seem like she was never in contact with them?
It was only a thought that had been in the background of her mind but one that always bothered her. She had presumed that her aunt would've been as close to her pups in the same way her mother was and perhaps even more so since they all lived among humans and it would be easier to stay in contact with them compared to when they all lived out together in the wild.
Perhaps it was a question to ask her one of the times Brian wasn't around in case it was something that her aunt was hiding but didn't want her mate to hear about. Or perhaps it was nothing at all and Apryl was just worrying too much about small insignificant things with everything else that had been going on.
Everything looked to be the same as it had been when she had left that morning. Her mother still looked exhausted even though she had been starting to sleep more since things appeared to be going well with the pups. It would be a while still before they would open their eyes.
In a way, Apryl was happy about this, especially if she could convince her mother to move into the safe hotel space that Jeff and Chester had been working on. She didn't want her new siblings to open their eyes and the first thing for them to see was a dull concrete floor and plain gray walls without any other smells except for their pack.
If possible, she wanted them to experience as close to the first thing that she had when she first opened her eyes and was able to see what the world around her looked like.
With this thought in mind she launched into explaining everything to her mother who could tell that there was something important in on her mind. Everyone else who could understand what she was saying listened intently as well. She glanced over at Oreo more than once to gauge his reaction as she discussed the part about having him and Timid being the first ones to move out.
As he expected, he seemed far less nervous about this than his friend did. In anything, he would probably be happy to be out of this place since Brian had also been making him rather nervous as well.
"And you're certain that there's actually a job he said that I would be able to pick up when I move despite not having any skills?" This was the one part that the other werewolf was skeptical about. He didn't know much about how getting employed worked in the human world, but in the back of his head it sounded like a deal that was too good to be true.
"Jeff just said all they needed was someone who would be willing to work and happy to learn new skills along the way." Apryl assured the other. Oreo certainly had gotten more used to being in human form over the days. Most of the time, he only bothered shifting back into his wolf form when he heard Brian though the other never stopped in anymore since Summer had the pups, Lydia and him would still talk outside at times and if the door wasn't fully shut or they were nearby, everyone inside could hear their voices.
"If you're sure that he actually meant it, I'd have nothing against it. It would give everyone in here a little bit more space anyways." Oreo consented after he thought about it a moment longer. Of course he didn't want to be away from the rest of the pack, but it was only temporary and he could see the point in the plan that Apryl was thinking about.
"Timid, you'd have to come with me though. I would need someone to keep me company while I'm getting used to an unfamiliar place." He gently petted the head of the female wolf who was pressed closely to him, her ears were flat which was sign that she wasn't exactly thrilled about the direction of the conversation.
"You know that I'm not that fond of new places and how would we even get out of here in the first place with being seen?" She asked the one question that Oreo had forgotten to clarify about.
"That's easy. I have a friend who has a van that offered to help us move. It would have to be at night of course, one of the times that Brian is working late. It's a completely black van so it wouldn't stick out that much." Apryl explained.
After this, the next part she did to try and convince everyone that it would be a good choice, especially Timid was to how them the photos that she had taken of the inside of the hotel.
"Are you sure that's actually somewhere inside? It looks way to real to have been stuffed inside a building." Nova commented as he looked at the picture. Apryl confirmed that it was indeed inside of a building that it had been placed. If she hadn't seen it for herself though, she would have also been skeptical as to whether or not it was really someplace hidden away inside of a building.
"it would allow everyone to be in their wolf form without worrying because of how secure it is and there's not even the worry about anyone from the outside being able to spot you." Apryl continued.
"Hunting I don't think would be much of an option, but pretty much everything else would be almost exactly like it was back before we came here." Her younger set of siblings even started making noise when they heard this. They weren't quite at the stage where they could fully understand everything that was going on, but everyone knew it wasn't going to be much longer before they would be ready to start learning to shift their forms as well.
"Are you completely sure though it would be a secure location to move into though and we wouldn't have to worry about being spotted along the way there?" Summer asked as she continued staring at the last photo Apryl had taken of the small pond. If it was just here she wouldn't be worried so much but she had her little ones that she needed to watch out for as well.
"I'm absolutely certain. It isn't even possible to see inside of the room unless you know the passcode to unlock it and right now only Jeff and Chester know that one and they're both people we can trust." Apryl replied, hoping to assure her mother with this.
"I need time to think about it." Summer admitted as she shifted to watching her pups who were starting to wake up again most likely because they were hungry.
"I have nothing against it if Oreo and Timid wish to move out and see how it works out for them, but I want more time to think about it and see how it works out before I make a decision." Apryl had already expected that this was the reply that her mother would give and she absolutely no problem with that. It was at least an answer she could provide Chester with so that they could get moving on one of the pieces for now.
