Fighting (To Be Yours)

Prologue

"You... you came." My younger self whispered, looking into his eyes with absolute adoration. He hugged me close, kissing my red crown of hair and sniffing deeply. God how much I had wanted to do that back, to just drown myself in his scent. But I had restrictions, I always had restrictions.

"I'll always come, love, I'll always come and I'll always be there." He whispered softly before breaking apart from me.

Things never got easier from there. They got darker, bleaker, and harder. At least for the were kind. The humans were quick to make themselves 'safe'. As if they weren't safe before. They placed all of the were kind, didn't matter what animal you were, into ghetto's. No one had a good feeling then. My family remained strong, however, and we stayed together. The ghetto's weren't that bad, we were placed in average family houses with average family meals and average family television. We were the complete picture of average human family happiness. Then the abuse started.

The humans were slowly adapting to us, as long as we followed their rules and stayed where we were told. But we had to shift, eventually we couldn't be the average human family and we had to become animals. The first months were agony, thousands of wolves, tigers, hell even dolphins were beat for shifting to their animal sides. I had thought that this was what I was created for, what me and Marissa had been placed on this earth to stop. I had been wrong. Marissa was killed, along with her mate and her unborn child, when she refused to obey to the humans rules. She quickly became the face of inspiration.

That's when we discovered, we had the upper hand. We dominated most of the population, we had the most money. We were more dominant. The humans saw this too, saw that the were population was resisting. They knew that when they pushed and we pushed back they would fall harder than we ever could. They backed off. But not completely, oh no. All of us had to have some sort of leash, because the government couldn't leave well enough alone. The were's had to have a chip implanted. The males had one implanted in their leg, the females had one implanted in their arm. The vampires had trackers too, they came in the shape of hunters. If one got too out of hand a hunter would be sent right away. The fey were left alone, no one wanted the wrath of a fey.

Over the years our freedom stretched, we could go to the public schools. Me and my siblings returned to our old school, I don't think Ms. Young was very glad to see me after learning about my wild side. Things had returned to how they were before the world found out about us. I had started to like my new life, thinking my purpose in it had well seen its prime. But, I should've known better than to think that.
