Without choice

Part one 

How does it start? Me and my older brother Matthew was send to live with some relatives in the mountains. Why? I didn't know back then. I knew that we were different from our parents and younger sister but that's it. I didn't ask because I knew that they would not tell me. 

I knew that what they say was true. I felt differently sometimes. Like my body wasn't mine alone. Like I share it with something or someone. I noticed that Matt leave when he think that I was asleep. And came back early in the morning. Sometimes I could smell animal scent on him. Like an dog or... wolf. Like forest and earth. It was nice scent.

One day when we arrive in our new home I couldn't not notice that around me was the same scent. There were a lot of people. It was like a village where people were incredibly close. It was nice feeling I must say. In our home people were somehow distant from each other.

Aunt Cassandra and uncle Markus were good people and I loved them very much. When I was a kid I thought that they were somehow different but they were funny and loving.  Uncle Markus was my dad's brother. But they were not close. I could tell by the scent of them. Dad doesn't have the smell of forest like uncle and Matt. At that time I didn't know the truth. But soon enough I will have to get to it.
