The Unlovables

Prologue: Elijah

Hatred

Everyone has dealt with it at one time or another, and most realize it is a terrible thing. It leads to only pain and misfortune, on both ends. Some can use it for good, most use it for their own gain, which may be good or bad depending on the person.

Unfortunately most people are selfish and closed-minded.

My name is Elijah Tilimn , and I understand the meaning of hatred much better than most people. I understand my heritage is the only reason that people hate so much too.

Orcs are a bloodthirsty people, who killed many in wars fought long ago, many of which the Orcs won for their barbaric nature. They would kill without mercy, even with joy, and they would tear through the weaker peoples of the lands with ease since they have such large statures. Many people still hold the hatred for the barbaric race, however there are also many that accept the race for who they are, and not for the mistakes of their ancestors.

Humans are weak. That goes without saying. They are small and without magic. They are brittle, and their emotions cloud important decisions. They are almost always shunned by bigger races. Races that believe they are better than everyone else even when it isn't true. Any race that has a child with a human, that human becomes unacceptable to any and everything in the world. Especially Elves.

Elves. Ugh, don't even get me started on the 'high and mighty'. Bunch of people who decided that their silver skin and pointy ears where better than everyone else. They can only have children with other Elves, otherwise, it's a disgrace. They rule over much of the government (save the angels, but they're more secretive), or at least, what they have enough money to get into. Not all Elves are pricks though, there are some that act and live like everyone else, so I think they have some sort of hope.

I happen to be all three, which means every living thing is out to get me, only problem is I am still part Orc, which means I have some barbaric tendencies. I'm trying, okay? Being part weak human means I have strong emotions and I'm hated for being part of the weakest species. Being part Orc means I'm hated for being bloodthirsty and a quick temper. Being part Elf means I'm hated for ruining the 'most perfect bloodline to ever exist'.

Please. As if Elves are anywhere near perfect.

Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as I turn over in bed, I glare at the time it says on the alarm clock.

3:47

Why can't I just go to sleep and stay asleep through the whole night on my days off? Really, after all the things that have happen in my life, that's too much?

I turn over, only to turn back over and then do it again.

Shit.

I have to pee.

Fuck.

Groaning, I flick off the covers and sit up, glared at the blurry blue numbers on the alarm clock, and stand up, stretching out my back and arms with a small groan slash yawn. I flick the light on in the bathroom since I broke the little plug in night-light I had in there and haven't had the time to replace it. Shielding my eyes against the bright light for a moment, I open the lid to the toilet and to my business. When I'm finished I wash my hands, then flick off the light and glaring into the darkness left in it's wake.

I realize I can't just go back to bed, the light woke me up more than I already was, I sigh and head into the kitchen, grabbing a bag of popcorn and popping (pun intended) it in the microwave, then grab a bottle of water and put a flavoring packet in. Root beer, surprisingly good in the water. I shake it up, grabbing a metal bowl from the top shelf because the bag is too hot to eat out of, sue me.

When the popcorn finishes, I pour it into the bowl and walk out into the living room, grabbing the remote and a throw blanket with cute, little, purple cats on it, and turned on the TV.

I watched the television for an hour or two before feeling myself nodding off, but too tired and lazy to stand up, I just turned off the TV and fell asleep on the sectional, praying I can stay asleep this time.

After all, I have work tomorrow.
