I'll Fight

Greetings and Prologue

Greetings

Hello all! This is my first time writing a story and to be honest it's kind of just me writing as I think it. I know that's not generally how this should be done, but I just wanted to brainstorm and see if anyone was interested in tagging along through the mess. I've been into werewolf stories recently (as much as I am embarrassed to admit it) and I've come across a frustrating pattern of weak female characters. I don't particularly mean weak in terms of physical strength, though that is often also true, but weak as in fragile. 

There's often a duality in werewolf stories depicting the male character as mature, domineering, and sometimes even controlling while on the other hand the female character is innocent, complacent, and/or suffering from some form of turmoil. Not that there is anything wrong with those traits, but the repetition was starting to get to me. Sometimes the female character is stubborn, but I was looking for something more than that. I was looking for a female character that can stand independently, without the help of some overpowered abilities, but solely due to their personality and work ethic. I believe in the abilities of females and I think that they are just as capable of leadership, strength, intelligence, and success as males which is why I decided to make this story. This will be my attempt in creating such a story. 

I would love and appreciate any feedback you are willing to provide. Also, feel free to correct my grammar or spelling as I plan to edit this, but mistakes still might slip through the cracks. So let me have it!

Prologue

     Humans are no longer in power. The previous war having wiped out most of them and the infrastructures that supported them, humans are forced to cope with a growing wilderness and the reemergence of ancient beings long forgotten. Werewolves, Vampires, Fae, and others now populate the Earth with more presence than ever before and have sectioned off the world into areas where each race dominates. Humans, according to them, lost their right to prevail due to their constant squabbles, greed, and disregard for life. So now humans continue to live either in servitude, secret, or in a form of coexistence depending on the area and the sovereign race. For the most part humans are not slaves, but are left to their own devices and some races trade goods freely with them. However humans do face discrimination, especially from werewolves and vampires who see them as weak beings or as food.

     Aspen and Juniper are two human sisters alone in the world and surviving well in a Fae dominated district. Despite the intricacies of the Fae, Aspen and Juniper run a thriving business that many of the Fae adore and have forged positive relationships with even the most problematic creatures. Although the district gets visitors of other races, the sisters try to avoid stepping on any cloaks or tails as often as possible so as not to draw attention to their existence. So far things have gone well, however the appearance of a group of elite Werewolves might shatter Aspen and Juniper's carefully established haven.
