There are beasts, evil spirits living inside each and everyone of us, the question is though how many beasts are living inside you? And what are you going to do when they want to be released? Run? Hide?
With a brewing war between the supernaturals...
Waking up I snuggled more into Jace as he licks the side of my face and prods at me with his snout as if to say, 'Good Morning, get up it's your birthday!' I laugh as I stand up "I know boy, I know", at that he wags his tail and gives me a wolfish smile. I know when it is my birthday because every year a blood moon shows up the night before. I don't know why it just happens so i try to enjoy it. Jace goes out to hunt shortly after and I began putting up the fire as he hunts abnormally fast, or maybe I just hunt slow... then I figured maybe it has something to do with him being a freaking wolf, I mean duhhh right? Natural instincts and all that. I waited for a few minutes for him to come back, which then turned into an hour. The fire turned to ashes forty minutes ago and I was getting very worried as bears hurt wolves (even though he was about as large as a bear and can handle himself). So i went out to look for him.
When I was twenty feet from the cave I heard grunts and growls and ran in the direction of it but instead of a wolf and bear I came upon two men fighting like animals, as I reached closer I saw one throw the other off of him and his back hit into a tree. I thought his back broke but he stood up again not even limping and leapt in the air just as quickly as he fell. What surprised me the most though was that, while he leapt he changed into a wolf and bit into other man's neck until he was rendered unconscious and then turned back human. I screamed out loud when i saw the blood and his attention turned to me. I was scared but when I saw his eyes I knew I had nothing to be afraid of. "Jace?" I asked shocked, looking at this unfamiliar face in front of me yet familiar eyes. I didn't want to believe what I was seeing in front of me but I saw it happen and there was no unseeing it.
He walked cautiously towards me, "Emerald, are you okay??", he asked but I couldn't form words at the moment to answer this handsome wolf-man in front of me so I just nodded. He spoke again but I didn't pay attention to what he was saying, I was staring ahead blankly wondering how this could be, why did he hide this all of those years? What type of creature was he? I felt so confused and in a state of shock. He cursed under his breath, ran his hand through that wavy, soft hair of his then came to me and picked me up bridal style and carried me to the waterfall close to our cave and splashed some water on my face. That got me out of my shocked state and I spluttered. "Jace??" I asked again just to be sure it was him.
"Yes Em it's me....are you mad?" he asked nervously. "A little, but mostly confused" I sighed. " If it helps I will answer your questions, I know you must have a lot" he looked at me sincerely. So I asked my first question, "What are you exactly?, I've never seen anything like you before" my eyes widened "Are you an alien??". He chuckled and I swear I've never heard anything so heavenly, not even the soft rustling of trees as wind blew could compare. When he was done he answered "No Em, I'm a werewolf, and you haven't seen much of us because we are being hunted by vampires, our mortal enemies, so we are in hiding". Again I was utterly confused "What are vampires and why are they hunting you? And why did the Gods make vampires and werewolves? No offence"
"Well vampires feed on blood, any kind of blood but a few years before i found you they tasted a werewolf's blood and let's just say they now have an obsession for it as it is human and animal blood in one delicious mixture." he stated bitterly, took an angry breath and continued his explanation "The Gods made us because the world was falling apart too fast and too soon, so the Gods made werewolves to mate with humans and animals to restore the world to full capacity. If werewolves have an animal mate they will be turned wholly into an animal and they won't be able to shift again once they mark each other, but if they have a supernatural mate or human their powers will continue to be. Werewolves are destined to a soulmate, their other half and when they find them they are protective and want to be with them always." He stopped to drink some water from the stream and i took that time to process all the information he just told me.
"But what about the vampires? Why did they create them?" At the mention of vampires his body froze and stiffened then relaxed and he proceeded to answer my question, "Well after the werewolves restored the world it was thriving well, too well, so the Gods made a hasty decision to get the balance back on earth and created vampires to suck some of the life out of it....literally"
After thoroughly pondering all i had learnt i accepted Jace's answer 'who was I to question him, i knew close to nothing about the world out side this forest' I thought.
"But why were you you fighting that other wolf?" i continued to question. At this Jace seemed to pause as if asking himself if he should tell me something.
After a few minutes he finally answered "Let's just say that he was sent to retrieve me" He spoke nervously, his hands running through his brown hair with golden tips.
