Prologue
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.

"You're being awfully weird." Eleanor snapped me out of my thoughts. I was busy looking at the bruised up girl that had her head on my lap as I sat in the backseat with her. Carefully, I tightened the coat more around her. I looked at the heat button and saw the heating system was already on.

Rayne Five: Adrian
I was in my study room, thinking about Rayne and her unusual ability to resist my powers and any other power. I tested her in many ways and not once did any power work on her. One time, I passed by her while I was supposed to be invisible, but she saw me and smiled at me while muttering, "good morning, sir." I had to contain myself at that moment. I almost lashed out, but I controlled myself at the last moment.

I heard Adrian and the witch talking about me in the study. I was walking around in the castle when I passed by the study by total chance and heard Adrian say my name.

Rayne Eight: Rayne
My head was pounding so hard and I struggled to open my eyes. My body was in great pain and I tried keeping my eyes closed for a while, hoping that I would end up falling asleep again, but I failed. My body terribly wanted me to stay awake as if it enjoyed torturing me. I wanted to escape from the cruel reality I was stuck in. I was scared of facing whatever life had for me. I was not ready to face Eleanor or Adrian or their torture. I just wanted to have a peaceful life. A life where I am not tortured. Was that so much to ask for?
