Vampires and Werewolves. The beginning of a conflict.

Chapter 3: The Peculiar Case of Erica

Erica POV

So I guess it's my turn now. 

Well, first of all, I'm a human. But not an ordinary one. I belong to a group of people who hunt down or capture supernatural beings. Since a normal human isn't able to match most supernatural beings physically, we are different. So before I delve more into our abilities, as is the custom, let me tell you my history. 

The Hunters, as we are known by, is an organization that existed for a very a long time. When humans became the dominant species, the leaders at the time ordered the creation of a group of humans dedicated to protecting humans from being enslaved again. So the Hunters were formed. At first, they were very unsuccessful against the supernatural. Then , one day, we learned magic. I don't know how exactly we learned it, but we did. Now, we could match our enemies, but were still physically inferior to most. Fast foward to thousands of years later, the Hunters had grown into pretty much their own country and did not obey any nation or power. Because of our shared goal and peace amongst ourselves, we advanced our technology at a far faster rate than others and so they had the abilities to create a program to enhance our bodies. All Hunters that were being born at the time was given extensive chemical modifications granting them superhuman abilities. After years of cultivating and perfecting ourselves, we were finally able to match our enemies physically and we utterly dominated any supernatural threat except one. An eldritch being known as Erbolou that orginated from Antarctica. We don't know exactly where it came from but we do know it was sealed into ice by some mysterious civilization and chained with ropes covered in runes. We found it in 1702 and from it, we learned runic magic. But then one day, it became loose and attempted to escape its prison. A war ensued between the Hunters and Erbolou and we were losing as nothing we threw at it seemed to have any permanent effect, until a dragon appeared from the ice and told us to buy it some time to recontain Erbolou. We were able to hold it off mainly because it was playing around with us and then the dragon appeared and fought it weakening it to the point where the dragon resealed it inside its prison. The dragon dying from its injuries told us to protect the eggs it protects in order to defeat Erbolou should it ever reawaken and then died. 

We honored it, even though we did not know its name, and we found its eggs in a dormant volcano nearby and we sent them to various places around the globe and protected them fiercly. Though only a few have hatched, they are growing and are already communicating with us. And to this day, we fear the day when Erbolou should ever get loose again, though we have advanced considerably since then. 

So about our abilites. We all share enhanced strength, speed, stamina, agility, etc. Basically we have enhanced everything. We are smarter than the normal humans, and we know magic. We use runes and other forms of magic which gives even more of an advantage. Also, we have nanobots inside our bodies which greatly increases pur lifespan and assists in our healing. Yeah. Our technology is really advanced. We even have a moon base. (SHHH. Don't tell anyone).

So enough about hunters, time to talk about me. My name is Erica and I live with my family which includes my two twin brothers, my older sister, my younger sister, my mom and dad, my grandparents, and a gargoyle we all call Spencer. I am about 14 years old girl. I like pizza and computers. I know a lot about computers and I am the computer whiz in my family and I frequently use my abilities to code our robots (yeah, robots) and assist when their software encounters some issues. Oh and I like girls. My family knows, but they don't really care. They say I can like whomever I want, but I need to focus on my duties as a Hunter too. I've never actually had the courage to confess to anyone though. Oh yeah. I forgot to mention I recently moved here from Japan with my family because the Hunters that had been here were reassigned to Antarctica and we were taking over their spot.
