Fate's Final Act

-CH 1- Night skies

Perched on a cold, damp rock, I looked out at the city lights glimmering in the distance. Though it seemed so far. The way the colorful lights sparkled. Like a huge blanket of stars, really made me feel welcomed. As if they were greeting the only guest of this lonely night.

The night was unusually chillier tonight, and the cold seemed to sink deeper into my bones, making me shiver involuntarily. Exhaling, a soft cloud of condensation formed from between my lips. As a constant reminder of how cold it was, at snowy nights like this one.

Gentle cold breezes kept caressing my long, black locks. Locks as black as this night that I let sit freely on my shoulders and down to my exposed chest. Where a silver necklace with a Dimond blue gem was wrapped around my neck, while the gem rested gently on my chest.

I call it, my chain, my beautiful restrain.

Some people would think that this might feel lonely. But I see it as time to relax, without feeling like the black sheep along my own people. Or being called names, none of them my actual name.

Adonis.

I've always loved the name my parents gave me. I loved the meaning of it. And I won't deny it, despite being an outcast among Elves, I am really loved among humans. They are dumb enough to think that, breath taking beauty is enough to trust a person.

The perfect straight hair, the sharp mesmerizing sea blue eyes, the toned and muscular body, the young and youthful smile, and the clear white skin. I call these, my curses.

The curses that decided my fate. The curses that forced me to be a monster. A cold and heartless monster, with blood stained hands. A fox, a manipulator.

And I am really good at it.

Seducing humans is one of my best talents. You would never suspect a thing from kind innocent eyes, will you?

Humans are so gullible. They are slaves to lust, just promise them a good time. And they'll bow to your feet. And all of their logic and reason seems to go out the window.

I sighed as I laid back on the huge rock, my eyes fixed on the stars now.

No matter how many human hearts I got, no matter how many times I've killed and heard pleading and screams for mercy. And no matter how savage I was.

I was never accepted by my own people.

I was known as the son of the traitor. I was a disgrace. Only because my mother fell in love with a human. As a result, no matter how hard I try to be like everyone else.

I will still have human blood running through my veins. They wanted to get rid of me just like they did to my parents, to erase any traces of my mother's major sin.

But I was born with gifts. My curses.

I have the ability to shapeshift into a human form. My long sharp nails would become soft and unharmful. And my really long hair stops at the nape of my neck. The pupil of my eyes would turn round instead of vertical and sharp.

It's not like I ever had a choice in this. In fact, I hated blood so much. But if I don't obey, they never have mercy on me. Even if shapeshifting is dangerous to my health.

The elders knew this, but they didn't care. They still forced me to shapeshift to hunt down humans. They saw me as nothing more than a tool, a weapon to use against the people they hated so much.

And I had to obey silently, just like a slave.

They would say it is my responsibility to atone for my mother's crimes. They would always tell me how she betrayed our kind by falling in love with a human and giving birth to a monster like me.
