Troy: A Regents Novel

The world is full of mysteries. It seems like mysteries lurk in every corner of the earth. Sometimes the secrets and the mysterious things in the world stay hidden in the darkness, but like every secret, it eventually comes out into the light.
I used to ask my mother before she died why I had to keep such a secret about our town, and the dark secrets that lurked in the darkness. It was life to me, I thought my world was the same as everyone else.
But it wasn't.
Our little town of Troy had a grand total of 5,000 people in our town. Troy had fifteen sister towns just like ours spread out throughout the world. These fifteen towns, counting mine, had the same mysterious things that should be kept in the darkness, walking in the light.
Troy and the other fifteen sister towns were different than any other village, town, or city, on earth.
You want to know why?
Because Troy, and the sister towns are part of an experiment that was established by our very own Government.
The experiment?
The experiment was having the monsters under your bed turn into reality. The experiment put these dark mysterious things that should be kept in the dark corners of the earth out in the open with humans. Like me.
Our town is ran by these dark...creatures. All the monsters that your mother or father told you didn't exist? Well they do. And they are in my town.
They are the authority, and is league with our Government.
So yes, I get what you are thinking. What actually is the experiment?
To see if humans and the supernatural community could actually live together in peace and harmony.
Ha. Humans can't even live in peace and harmony.
My name is Charlaine Belliveau. My roots are set deep in the south, and in Louisiana. No one comes out this far to my small town. Perfect location. Perfect place to keep dark secrets.
Are you ready? Be prepared. I was born prepared
