    You and your werewolf girlfriend Olivia glance at each other. A few hours ago, you received a text message supposedly from Olivia telling you that she wanted to see you at your home, while Olivia received a message telling her that you wanted to see her. The thing is, none of you sent any SMS.

    Your mind quickly races to any possibility - what if it was a trap ? You're the daughter of a werewolf hunter, and your girlfriend is the leader of her pack. Despite the fact that you lost your twin at a young age to a werewolf, and growing up learning countless scary stories of evil werewolves, you felt no hatred for Olivia. She is the most "wolf-like" person you could imagine - wild, a bit feral, strong, territorial of her loved ones, the kind of werewolf any hunter would be afraid of going up against - but it hadn't stopped you from saving her from a trap your father had put. She has seen every facet of you (your depression, your fears, your survivor's guilt) and you have seen all of her.

    You took several measures to ensure your father (or any other hunter) doesn't learn about your relationship with Olivia. This is not the only weird event that happened lately though.

    Part of you was worried that loving a werewolf and not being a fanatical hunter meant insulting your twin's memory. A few weeks ago you did a ritual to try and summon Lily's spirit to find out for sure what she would've thought, but due to you being inexperienced, it seemingly didn't work - you felt a presence at times ever since though. Not to mention objects that seemed to have been moved without you noticing it.

    Olivia grabs your hand.

    "As long as you're with me, you don't need to fear anything" she says, and you know this is true.

    You notice a shadow behind the two of you and you turn around, to see.. Your brain can't register it at first, because it shouldn't be possible, yet here she is.

    The ghost of a young girl who looks just like you, but with a solemn expression and wounds on her. Lily, your twin. Your heart almost stops - you're not scared of her per se, but you're terrified - does she resent you ?

    "Long time no see, Clara.." She looks at Olivia. "Can we talk for a moment ? I have a lot to say."
