Here is a short story about a warwolf named Xavier and a vampire named ruby:
The warwolf snarled as the vampire approached. His fur stood on end and his hackles raised in aggression. The vampire, named ruby , showed no fear.
"I mean you no harm," she said in a soft voice. "I only wish to talk."
The warwolf growled. "Your kind have hunted mine for centuries. Why should I trust you?"
"Because the past does not have to define the present," ruby replied. "I seek to make peace, if you will allow it."
The warwolf eyed the vampire warily. Every instinct told him not to trust her, yet something in her eyes spoke of truth. He lowered his hackles slightly.
"Speak then, vampire. But make no sudden moves."
Ruby nodded. "Thank you. I believe our kinds have misunderstood each other for too long. There need not be conflict between us."
The warwolf considered her words. Perhaps she was right. They had fought for so long out of habit, not reason. There was wisdom in her offer of peace.
He lifted his head high. "I am Braeden, last of the North Wood pack. What is your name?"
The vampire smiled. "I am ruby. It is a pleasure to meet you, Braeden."
The warwolf and the vampire regarded each other for a long moment. A tentative trust was forming, and perhaps the beginning of a friendship between ancient enemies.
