Humans are not alone in this world. The media portrays supernatural beings to be appealing, romantic, even some type of role model. Humans make movies, shows, write novels about us. They praise us, want to be us. It's sickening to watch. If they only knew the truth about the world. What actually lurks in the shadows? What hides under your children's beds and closets? Was that just a shadow I saw? Was that just a creak in the house? But, its safer that everyone didn't know the truth. If everyone knew, then all the humans would kill to become what we are. They see us as perfection. When it's actually a curse. Looks can be deceiving.
