Prolog

Okay, just reading this, you're risking your life. I'm more than likely going to be killed for telling this story, let alone posting it for you people to read. It doesn't matter who I am, only this story does. Let me try to explain things a little bit:

At the end of your time, the year, no one remembers. There was a laboratory experiment that went wrong. You know your stories of Dracula and Vampires, Witches, Werewolfs, the people who hunt them, all that is happening.

Any, a lab experiment went wrong and 'Dracula', that's what the man's friends called him, was created. He changed his neighbor, and his daughter. From there it spread like wild fire. But Werewolfs also came from the wronged experiment. Witches had been there long before, but not  point, the world as you knew it ended.

The 3 groups that owned the world, Witches/Warlocks, Vampires, and Werewolfs. They went unchallenged for close to 100 years, having run the humans underground. That was the time known as the Dead World.

Then the humans created the 100 families. One-hundred regular human families volunteered to fight the 3 groups. The 100 became known as the Hunters, and the 3 groups were called the Hunted. After the first 50 years fighting, 20 whole families were killed. After 90, 40 families, 120, 60 families, 140, 70 families, 190, 90 families, 200, 91 families. This continued, till there was only 1 Pureblood family.

I should explain a Pureblood family. A pure blood family is a family of Hunters that has only been Hunters. Hunters have had kids with humans, resulting in 1/2 bloods. Half-bloods only carry have the Hunter gene in their DNA, so they're weaker. If you're a 1/4 blood, you have part of the Hunter gene, but not the full, only Purebloods have that. But by the year 200 A.A., A.A. is for After Apocalypse, there was only 1 pureblood family.

Now, to keep some order in the different groups, a system was made based off of the Mayan, and the Roman systems. At the very top is the Original, the ruler, the one where all the others came from. Below them was the Nobles, or the oldest Knights. They're a group of Knights, one for each continent. The Knight, right below them, were the protectors from the Hunters, the 'Watchers', 'Guards', they were called. Below them, second to the bottom, was the Peasants, or the Normal ones. Those were 'pawns' and had nothing special about them. But at the very bottom was the slaves, or outcasts. These people didn't fit into any group.

This story starts with the Original Vampire's daughter, in the year 575 A.A. Now, you may think that this sounds like an OKAY place to live, but this was a dog eat dog world, and that she was a Noble, or some one high ranking, but she was an outcast. And now you have to understand one more thing about the outcasts and the whole scheme of things. Outcasts had the lowest jobs, they had the most, well in your time they would be called hookers and stripers, whores, sluts whatever. And only Vampires and Hunters could see something called Auras. Auras were like an Identification, but since there were SO many humans on the surface in 575, you couldn't tell what Aura someone had unless you were alone.

To Hunters, this was dangerous. If a Vampire figured out someone was a Hunter before the Hunter knew they were a Vampire, the Hunter would end up dead. The Human Auras always blocked out the Vampire Aura, which was a Red. The darker the Aura, the older the Vampire. Unlike a Vampire, a Hunter had the same Aura as a human, but they had a mark on the back of their left knee, the mark was the sign of  the group that killed one of their parents, making them a Hunter.
