Synopsis

Lun has had the bad luck to find herself in the worst place in the world and at the wrong time because all the guards in the parking lot have been transformed into werewolves and everything around her became the worst nightmare she could live, or at least that's how it was until the vampires appeared on the scene... Lun, Paulina and Alissa, three girls who find themselves trapped in a gloomy world that runs parallel to the reality of humans where different races continue with the wars that began in ancient times, but despite the fights and deaths maybe there is a small space for love.

Chapter 1

Chapter one

Lun Marshall stepped out of the building where he worked and looked up at the cloudy New York sky with a grimace. It was going to rain in less than twenty minutes, so she hurried to find her car, which was parked two blocks away.

He had found it impossible to park in the company's parking lots that day. All the workers at Tyler & Co seemed to have predicted that it would be an excellent day, as Tyler, the factory owner, had arranged for another parking lot to be opened for the use of the rest of the workers. This one was normally used for storage of goods and their respective trucks, but it was Friday, and trucks only ran Monday through Thursday.

The company's beautiful new clock read ten minutes after her arrival. And there stood Tyler, waiting for her, looking immaculate and aggressive. She had listened to his terse words before he nodded softly and left for his office. If that hadn't already been the beginning of a long day enduring the rude looks from her boss, her sister Paulina had made it worse by sending her a text message telling her the pantry was empty, and she wouldn't be in until nightfall. That was the bad thing about working overtime in a pub, where men got drunk until they hit the floor. Literally. It was seven o'clock in the evening, but from that dark sky full of thick clouds it looked like nine o'clock. There was a soft rumble and a breeze with the unmistakable smell of a storm reached her. She had to hurry.

 

In that industrial park, there were a couple of restaurants that made take-out food. It had been three weeks since her partner Elizabeth had shown up with a white bag that smelled delicious. Chicken in sauce, she had said. And it seemed to be quite inexpensive. Turning slightly to the left, he saw that on the same street where he had parked, there was one of those stores. It was still open. Lun smiled and hurried over there, thinking that maybe his day could get better... partially.

 

Both she and her sister lived at home with their parents. Both had been killed in a car accident. Apparently, their bodies had been charred by a loud explosion between the two vehicles, as no remains were found to bury. The truck that collided with their parents' car ended up the same or worse. The driver had also not survived and his remains had not been found either, although there was never a family to claim them. Both Lux and her sister Paulina had found themselves in a terrible depression. She still remembered her father's kind face smiling at her and stroking her blond hair like his. Her eyes were dark blue with hints of gray, just like Lux's. Many said Lun was the female form of her father.

 

Before, she and Paulina had a close bond. They had always played together, had even agreed to dress alike, something that had made her mother laugh.

Now they could barely stand each other. Loneliness throbbed between them like a freshly opened wound. Looking at her sister was not easy. Paulina was the same image as her mother, and closing that dark chapter of her life was taking too much work.

Their parents died when Lun was nineteen and Paulina was twenty-one. They were not related to any of their relatives, so they both had to get by with no help other than the state and a distant uncle who had agreed to send them money...but nothing else. Apparently, she had not had an intimate relationship with her parents.

 

When Lun entered the restaurant, a dark-haired man with jet eyes greeted her with a friendly smile. 

"Good evening, miss, how can I help you?" he asked in a friendly but jovial tone; with an accent she could describe as Irish.

"I wanted to take some food with me, can you give me a menu? Please."

The man bent down and handed her a black card that read "Home Plates" in silver letters. He smiled and nodded at her, pointing to a counter where there were many casseroles. All that great variety of dishes made Lun's stomach jump, who was eager to fill the huge emptiness he had had since first thing in the morning. Also, as if the store wanted to make sure that customers would buy, an intense smell of food flooded her nostrils, belonging to the kitchens.

"If I may, my dear, I can recommend our best specialties. This week we are cooking dishes from different countries. Today our chef has European food."

 

"Sure" Lun followed the man.

In front of her was displayed a large potato omelet that had a small flag stuck in it with a toothpick. The flag was that of Spain. Lun had heard very good things about Spanish cuisine. Next to it was another smaller, transparent omelet with a flag of France and next to it, others with different flags and different ingredients. There was also some kind of filling with meat that said "haggis" on it.

"This is an omelet made with potatoes and eggs from Spain. It sells like gold and cloth," he leaned closer to whisper to her as he kept pressing his finger to the display where he pointed to the food. Lun caught the glint in the vendor's eye "both the potatoes and the eggs come from the south of Spain, for me, my favorites. Do you know where the best potatoes come from? From Murcia".

 

Lun frowned. She didn't know where Murcia was, let alone if the best potatoes were from there. She just wanted to fill her stomach and sleep peacefully.

It looked good, no one could argue with that. It was hot and gave off a soft white smoke, fogging up the glass a bit. Not only that, but it was golden, freshly made. Unable to help herself, she asked him to cut it in half for her to take home.

Lun ended up taking two steaks made in wine, the potato omelet and some sort of stew that would be his lunch tomorrow. After paying, she headed for the door.

It was raining. And hard. Drops of water were hitting the cars and the asphalt. And she didn't have an umbrella, nor did she want to stay out until it let up. The traffic in New York was ridiculous, always with miles-long lines that made her late getting home.

 

She ran out and pressed the food against her chest as she entered the parking lot through the back door, feeling the wall to guide her through the darkness. A thump behind her startled her. She turned quickly, but saw no one: was there no attendant? She could hear the crackle of light bulbs breaking, and every time she passed a light, it went out behind her. Likewise, she definitely understood why Tyler forbade the workers to go in there. The conditions were terrible. Climbing into her old car, she left the food on the passenger seat and ran a hand over her face, trying to wipe off the water droplets and smeared makeup. She looked in the rearview mirror and began to pull her long hair back as she cursed her bad appearance. As she combed her hair, a shadow behind her crossed quickly.

 

She turned around and saw that all the lights were off, except for the emergency lights. A few guards made their way toward the booth while muttering among themselves. Many drivers got out of their cars, shouting and complaining. Apparently, the large door that allowed the cars to exit was broken.

 

"Gentlemen!" one of the guards shouted, "we're out of power because of the storm! We'll have to wait for it to come back on. Please calm down and..."

 

"What?" shouted a woman with a slight southern accent. "I have things to do, I can't stay here until the power comes back on! I want to talk to Tyler immediately."

 

A tall, athletic, young security guard approached the woman who had yelled. He spoke to her in a low voice, trying to calm the atmosphere. All the drivers were shouting and horns were blaring. Lux got out of the car and walked toward the booth, where a single light bulb was on and barely illuminated.

 

Her footsteps echoed against the asphalt floor, the cold numbed her whole body and she was angry. After the money it had cost her, all the food would end up cold. A woman appeared at her side and from the body language she seemed to be much angrier than she was. The security guard looked her up and down, his eyes strangely unfocused as he listened intently to the woman, who suddenly started speaking in another language.

"Excuse me," Lun asked. "Do you know how long it will take before we can get out of here? Isn't there any emergency exit?"

"I'm sorry, miss, but the emergency exit is closed, it can only be opened with electric current. The windows are too small for us to get out of them and the garage door doesn't work either. We believe that in half an hour everything will be fixed" the calm voice of the security guard failed to dampen the spirits of the woman standing next to him.

"That's not my problem!" she shouted angrily, blurting out an expletive in another language. "I demand to get out of here immediately!".

A thud echoed throughout the parking lot. The woman didn't seem to notice, but Lun tensed.

"Please, help me!" someone shouted.

The parking lot fell into a grim, terrified silence.

All the drivers looked around, wondering where that voice had come from. The security guard approached the two women and grabbed them with his large hands. The entire parking lot was completely and utterly silent. The only thing that could be heard was the rain falling outside and hitting the ground hard, the passing cars and.... the growl of an enraged animal. Or hungry.

The drivers' footsteps echoed on the wet pavement. With the flashlights they had taken out of their trunks, they were heading towards the area where that animal growl had been heard. Lun stood on tiptoe, trying to see something through all the people in front of him.

There was a man lying on the ground and a large, thick, dark puddle around him.

Lun grimaced as she saw the huge, deep wound the man had. She put a hand to her mouth, trying to control the sudden urge to vomit despite not having eaten anything since first thing in the morning. That mortal wound was still dripping blood, soaking everything and also leaving a smell of copper and rusty iron in the air.

The man's chest had a large furrow of broken skin and tendons, a torn shirt and... bites all over his body.

"My God..." whispered one man.

"Call an ambulance and the police!".

At that moment... a huge, hairy, clawed hand appeared from the ceiling and grabbed the man who had given the order. He threw him against the other wall, which was many feet away, and there was a crunch of broken bones and a shriek before silence again blanketed the entire parking lot. A huge muscular wolf-like monster climbed up the wall, jaws gaping and howling.

Chaos ensued.

Chapter two
Everyone started running and screaming, hiding in their cars and turning on their headlights. Lun watched in terror as the guards ripped off their clothes and began to grow to over six feet tall. Their bodies were covered with long dark hair all over, their faces deformed into a new elongated wolf-like shape, their eyes grew smaller and their mouths tripled in size.They began to howl and growl before getting down on all fours and attacking cars, lashing out with their large claws and leaving marks wherever they placed them. Their eyes were black as night, on their hands were huge sharp nails that lifted the doors and hoods of vehicles, pulling out the drivers and tearing them apart and then engulfing them.Lun felt bile rise in his throat.She turned and saw that the security guard who had been holding both women by the arm was smiling. In his eyes there was a yellow gleam and, on his lips, a wolfish grin.At that moment her body was run through with huge spasms, her clothes tattered

Chapter three
Was she crazy? Had she had an accident and hit her head? That had to be it. It was impossible for werewolves and people who ran at inhuman speed to exist. Lun put his hands to his ears, closed his eyes and counted to five. After that, nothing like that would have happened.One..."Out!" a man shouted. "All clear!"Two..."Come on, these men have helped us." Someone tugged at her arm but she responded. Three..."Have you killed everyone?" asked a male voice."Some have escaped, no doubt they have taken advantage of the rain so they could feed and cut all the electrical circuits. We found the real parking lot guards with their throats slit, in the adjoining warehouse."Four...They pushed her arm again, pulling her out from under the car. She still didn't open her eyes, she just wanted it all to go away. Someone lifted her up in his arms. She clung tightly to the collar of the man's jacket, who lifted her up without caring that she didn't know who he was, while keeping her eyes closed

Chapter four
Both Eric and the others were dedicated to leaving the crime scene so that it was a heist and not werewolves desperately trying to get their food. Seeing the carnage in the parking lot, they had to take many bodies away due to their poor condition.He felt bad that he hadn't gotten there sooner. Gideon had warned them two weeks earlier that the werewolves were starving after the Valkyries released them. Apparently, those women resented the werewolves for some reason unknown to them, and were capturing them. They would drop them off near some city in the United States and then wipe their hands clean.Did these women not realize what they were doing? They were trying to keep their identity from the humans, not sow chaos. Of course, it was no secret that vampires had been at odds with werewolves since the beginning of both creations. The two had always fought for dominance, though Eric had suspected about something else. Meanwhile, the Valkyries were busy getting in the way of both of th

It had been five months since the thieves had raided the parking lot and made a killing as well.Everyone, including herself, considered it a miracle that she was still alive.When Paulina had found out, she had hugged her tightly as she cried, complaining that they had almost taken away the only family member she had left.Since the accident, Lun couldn't help but dream every night of faces, grunts and blood. She couldn't make out much, but for some strange reason she saw in her dream's hair-covered monsters that devoured every human they caught. She dreamed of the face of a beautiful woman who had helped her get out of the clutches of one of them alive.Was it true? I didn't remember seeing any woman when the ambulances arrived.

Chapter six
Was she going crazy? When she was forced to go to a psychologist, the man who had treated her told her that she perceived reality better than others. She was not crazy, just frightened by the episode she had lived through. He told her that if she didn't remember anything, it was because she was afraid of facing the unknown.Those were the words she repeated to herself every morning so as not to distrust herself and what she perceived."You can call me Alissa, that's what everyone calls me. I am Spanish and I have come to New York looking for a job, since I have more possibilities here than in my native country. Do you want more information? Well, we met in the parking lot near a home cooking restaurant. I was complaining because we couldn't get out of there because of a stupid storm, what's more, they said the water had cut all the electrical circuits!". Alissa looked around before speaking again. "The security guards were saying we couldn't get out of there because the doors were pow

Chapter seven
After Lun pulled herself together, she went to the cafeteria bathroom to rinse out her mouth. She even bought a piece of gum to try to get rid of the bitter taste. She had vomited the coffee on the floor. The waiter was not amused, but just smiled and gave her a glass of water.When she came out, she saw Alissa waiting for her with a somewhat sad smile. She was sure she felt guilty about her headaches. What she didn't know was what had set her free.When she reached her, she gestured to her."Let's go for a walk," she rubbed her throat."Sure."They walked down Houston Street talking in hushed, leisurely tones. They didn't stop to look in any stores. Both Alissa and Lun were still feeling a little stunned by what had happened. They didn't know what to do about it. Every time they passed a crosswalk, Lun's eyes darted around the crowd, trying to spot any familiar faces from the accident.The two girls had agreed not to tell the police or family members anything. No one would believe th

Chapter eight
When Alissa left, Lun forgot to ask her what she was going to tell him. They had been chatting and drinking coffee that she made herself after lunch. Paulina had stayed with them and that cat on her lap, stroking its little head gently. Luna had given her his phone number and promised to call her tomorrow.When she was left alone, she went to her room and closed the door when she saw Paulina's cat chasing her. She left her cell phone on the nightstand before lying down on the bed and closing her eyes, trying to find some rest. As she fell asleep, she dreamed of her parents when she was ten years old. The four of them were in a park at dusk, it was in autumn. Her mother was running after them both to put a cardigan on them while her father laughed and helped them run away.Instantly the dream became a blur to reveal dark blue eyes. Gradually, the image receded to show black hair, masculine lips, a strong, regal jawline and....Lux woke up to the sound of her cell phone. She blinked and

Chapter nine
Lun blinked and felt his eyes water from the smoke in the shop. Needless to say, she had arrived in half an hour and running! No cab had stopped to take her. She felt her shirt clinging to her body with sweat, the inside of her thighs itched from rubbing.She ran a hand through the locks that had come loose from her ponytail and joined the large crowd in the club. The music was loud, the dance floor full of people dancing and the bar covered with drinkers. There were also tables that made a half circle around the dance floor. The chairs were joined together and were black in color, while the tables were dark wood in color.As she walked around dodging people or hands that were placed on her waist to urge her to dance, Lun watched the men's faces intently, but none of them rang a bell.At the far end of the venue, Lun spotted the bathrooms. She went with large strides and with her heart in a fist. Every time a hand touched her, she was startled and looked at the one who caused the touc

Chapter ten
She glanced sideways at him and hit his neck, where Adam's apple was faintly visible. She liked it. He had a thin layer of beard starting to grow out of him, obscuring his appearance. Lun's gaze slowly, meeting lips that moved as he spoke to someone.She continued her scrutiny. Then came his nose, straight and strong. That way, just by looking at half of his face she could tell how beautiful he was. She moved up to his eyes. On Gideon as he spoke. She could make out their color. They were dark as night but had a layer of light blue around the iris that made him look.... Stunning.What's more, she had run out of breath.At that moment he looked at her, catching her. There was a connection between the two of them that everyone could notice, causing silence to reign among the group for a few seconds. A cold and cutting silence. A light blue-eyed blond to her right placed a hand on her trembling thigh."Don't tell me you like Eric" Lun startled. "Honey, my name is Ben and I'm at your beck
