Dull Colors

In a world where humans are no longer at the top of the food chain, violence has become second nature to most. Because in this world, there are Humans, Creatures, and then there are Hybrids. The offspring of a Human and a Creature.
Chokaria "Chocco" Maelor is a hybrid with a life marred by despair. Her misfortunes began when her mother sold her to a man she barely knew, and ended with her spending over a decade in prison for trying to escape him. Now that she's free, she's determined to fight for her happiness. By any means necessary.
Matthew D'Angelo is a Hybrid that is as ambitious as he is cruel. So, when he meets a woman who gladly offers him her daughter, he immediately thinks of her monetary value for his ventures. He could tell right away that this young "Chocco" would make him plenty of money.
Once Chokaria is free from prison, Matthew wastes no time in taking her to The Pit, an underground fighting arena. During that night's match, she meets Dontai Mephes, a dangerous and unpredictable kind of hybrid she's never seen before. An unexpected meeting that will change their fates forever.
