In 2025, things changed for the worse for some people and for the better for others. A war that knew no mercy took place in that year between humans and supernatural creatures and I think we know who won. Humans could never face supernatural powers no matter how strong they are. If you thought about it, it was not a matter of strength. I believe our mindset ended us. We doomed ourselves before we were even introduced to the supernatural powers of our opponents.
Vampires, werewolves, and witches decided that they had had enough of hiding and living in the dark. They wanted to live their lives just like how humans lived their own lives. They were tired of hiding and they wanted to bring their powers to the light.
War ended nicely for them, but it was bad for humans since they ended up being slaves to those supernatural creatures while they became the masters of the world. I mean, let's be honest, humans were never prepared for something like that since a lot of them did not believe in those creatures and even if they believed, they would never defeat them because they didn’t really know the extent of their powers. We preferred living in denial even though evidence about their existence started appearing with each passing day. We dismissed every proof and every clue. We thought that we are safe or maybe we lied to ourselves on purpose. I’m not really sure what our ancestors thought at that time, but whatever their thoughts were, they were wrong, and we did not know how to recover.
Believe it or not, vampires, werewolves, and witches were very civilized when the war started. They didn't destroy the buildings or set the whole world on fire; something humans would definitely do. They made sure to keep everything in a good state because they obtained foresight. They knew that they would want to use all of these facilities when the world fell in their hands; they weren't wrong. Their intelligence was their strongest weapon. Maybe this is how they won.
Now let me take you to the present. It's 3150 now and the world has changed a lot! Nobody thought that this year the world would be like that. I bet most humans thought that there would be flying cars and we would most probably live on other planets, but none of that happened. Things turned to the worst for humans.
The new world is divided into empires; and the witches are the judges of the whole world. They set the rules a long time ago and nobody dares to break them because if they do, no matter who they are, the punishment of the witches could never be avoided.
At first, humans did not know how vampires and humans would live peacefully. The witches put a law a long time ago that organized the relationship between humans and vampires. One of its main articles is, no vampire shall kill a human being unless the human being committed an extreme crime such as murder or espionage. Vampires can also kill a human being if that human being is terminally sick and can never be cured.
As for werewolves, I wish I knew more about them, but my knowledge about them is quite limited. All I know is that their emperor is called an Alpha and they do also have humans as slaves in their empires, but I know nothing about how their system works.
No, I'm not a vampire. Sometimes, I wish I was a vampire because my life would have been way easier than it is now, but I'm not. If you are wondering who I am, my name is Rayne, Rayne Carson. I'm the one who learned that being gifted can sometimes be a curse.
AdrianWhen I look at the soldiers around me, I fail to find any ounce of fear. Men and women look bold and dauntless; they’re ready to tear apart any creature who may represent an obstacle in front of the safety of their loved ones. In their hearts, there may be traces of fear, but when my eyes fall on them, I only see a kind of bravery that is quite unprecedented to me. They know that by coming here, there’s a huge chance that they may not go back home.
My eyes have not dried yet. I cry day and night. I cry for the loss of my best friend, I cry for Roland who lost his other half, I cry for Adrian who lost his best friend and his sister. My heart is burning and I do not know how to cool it down. I go to her room every day, hoping that I can find her, but she is not there. Olivia is no longer here. I still remember the look in her eyes when Eleanor ripped her heart out. I remember how she defended me till her last breath and for that, I really hate myself. Had it not been for me, she would have been alive.
My heart is beating fast, I'm scared. I just want to run to the battlefield and check on Adrian. I'm tired of that feeling in my heart, something I cannot describe. It is a feeling that makes me overthink, a feeling that exhausts my mind and steals my energy away from me; it's a wave of worry and a tornado of stress. It seems that my eyes forgot how it feels to be dry because they are always filled with tears; I'm drowning in my rivers of tears. My heart is screaming in agony and my head is throbbing. I can't take it, I just can't. What do I call this feeling? It exceeds the normal pain. I think all
"I will return, I will find my way back to you. I will never leave you alone," I whisper as Rayne wraps her arms tightly around me. We are in front of the front door inside the house, Roland is hugging Olivia while Rayne is in my embrace. "Goo-,"
War. War is something dreadful. Lethal. Brutal. War takes from people their loved ones, it may destroy the whole world. War has many consequences and I wish I can pull away everyone I love from this cruel battle. I wish I can lock them away in a safe place and never let them out until it's all over, but I can't do that. My fiancé, my everything, the man I love the most is doing whatever it takes him to ensure my safety... If only he knows that all I care about is him now.
I looked out of the window of Adrian's study and saw Roland and Olivia sitting in the garden. They looked so cute together and I truly wished them an eternity of happiness because they both deserved to be happy. Roland was playing with her long blonde hair with one hand while she held his other hand in hers as she talked to him about something I definitely could not hear from where I was.
Ten of the werewolves empires joined us. They were all allies of Atticus and since he was with us, on our team. That was enough to convince them to join us.
"No! You're not going alone! I won't let you go alone!" Rayne exclaimed as she followed me around the suite while I packed my bag.
Adrian fulfilled his promise. I did sleep in our bed that night. Neither Tyler nor Eleanor was able to take me away from the people I loved. My mind failed to comprehend the disaster the world was about to encounter. Was I the reason behind that? Would it have been better if I was dead? I kept thinking and my mind settled on only one conclusion: if Adrian did not find me then I would have probably been dead from being tortured 24/7 then Eleanor would not have gone crazy and everything would have been the way it had always been.
