The Monsters

Prologue

Prologue

  (Mia's P.O.V)

My family is forcing me to do it, why are they doing this to me, unlike the rest my family I see what we do is cruel and unforgiveable. We try to kill another species to extinction just cause they are different, and because of what happened in the past. It's unforgiveable. My family see what we do is something to be proud of, something that makes our family great. They feel like they are saving this world from an abomination.

This tradition has been in my family for as long as we could trace it back, ever since we found out that they exist, ever since they killed one of us. My family has always thought that all they wanted was blood and death in the world, but I don't think so there has to be more to them then what they seem to be. Every since I was little I have seen what most kids my age don't even know exist, they don't know the cruelty in this world, haven't seen the death of so many people.

For you to know what I have been through you need to learn about my past. It happened on my seventh birthday that was when the older members of my family tell the younger generation who we are, what we are made to do, who to kill. It always started this young so you will show no mercy to your prey. We start to train until they deem us worthy to get the job done, most likely by our third-tenth birthday. By the order of the elders. If they didn't think we were ready they will train us most likely until we past out from exhaustion.

All of my friends always thought I had the perfect family. If only they knew what goes on behind closed doors. They would think that we are monsters. If we didn't do as we are told then we would be beaten. They always said that they did it out of love , if you love something why would you beat it. Me and my brothers have always had a hard childhood we never got to experience the things a normal kid would. No, instead of a care free childhood we had to train like our lives depended on it and some times it did. If we did not do well enough in training we would be beaten but always out of love they said.

                   Seventh Birthday

Everyone was around the big grand table in our mansion, but only my family. My parents said this year it would be a special birthday. I was so excited. My two twin brothers were on either side to me hold my hand as all the adults started talk to one another and some even wished me a happy birthday. At that moment I was so happy. My brothers were both two years older then me. Dylan is the first born and then Daniel ,but I call him Danny. I love my brothers with all my heart they have always been there for me. They look so much alike with the same blond hair and the same carefree faces except for there eyes Dylan had blue , and Danny had green. I always wanted my eyes to be just like their, but I was born with dull grey eyes.

" Danny when are we going to open the gifts?" I said.

"When the adults are done talking, then we will start the party with all the cakes and gifts ,ok." Danny replied.

" Hey Danny don't you remember what happen on our seventh birthday, it was the best birthday gift every." Dylan said, "And now you will get it to, I am so excited to see you get it then we won't have to keep anything from you anymore."

" Can't you just tell me what it is, and then when mom and dad give it to me I can pretend like I am surprised." I pleaded.

" No can do Mia, mom and dad have to tell you not us." Danny said.

" I remember our birthday don't you, the best day of our lives and we also got the best gift ever." Dylan asked Danny.

" Yeah, I remember it was all so surprising and it was so awesome. I mean it was the best gift ever." Danny said looking at me through the corner of his eyes seeing how excited I was getting about  this special gift that they were always talking about.

My brothers have always been talking about the gift ever since their seventh birthday, and they won't stop talking about it. The more they talk about it, the more excited I get, and the more I just want them to tell me what it is. I always wondered ever since their seventh birthday, every now and then my brothers would leave for a long time during the day with dad and not come back until night fall. They don't even go to school anymore they are being home schooled by mom. They never told me why they were being home schooled. Then every time I asked they would change the subject like they were hiding something from me. They always told me that they would tell me on my birthday and now they finally will.

My parents started to walk towards us. They had huge smiles on their faces. I love my parents they always gave me what I wanted. My mom is a tall blond with beautiful blue eyes and dad is a tall well- built man with dark brown hair and green eyes. I have always seen my mom as a queen and dad as her king. They were the perfect match.

" Mia, it's time to cut the cake and get your gifts." mom said.

" Ok mommy." I said.

I let go of my brothers hands and want to my mom and dad. As I got closer to my parents my dad  opened up his arms for me to jump in and I happily did.

" Daddy, Danny and Dylan were talking about a special gift you gave them on their seventh birthday, and they said you will give the same gifts to me. They said that they were so excited for me to get it, they said it was the best birthday gift they ever got." I said.

" Did they now, those boys can't keep a secret to save their lives," dad said," I told them not to tell you and what do they, do they tell you."

"When are you going to give me it." I asked'

" Not until every one has left, then you can have you gift." dad said.

After he said that we got to the kitchen where the cake was it was huge with all the princess that I liked on there. Everyone sang happy birthday and I blew out the candles it was the best birthday ever, I got tons of gifts and I loved them all. The only gift that I really want is the one my brothers were talking about. After all of the cake and party games everyone began to leave. When everyone was gone my parents took me into my dad's office. That was when everything became clear, the worst day of my life, the day I find out the truth about my family. The day I became ashamed of my family and ashamed to be a Anderson.

My dad looked me straight in the eyes when he always did that I knew he was serious and to not talk. Then the next words that came out of his mouth will make the best day of my life the worst. Then he said it.

" Honey, our family are werewolf hunters."

Because of those six words my life will never be the same and I will never get my childhood back again.
