Imagine
living in a world where there are more than humans – a society
where Paranormals co-exist with us, and a corrupt government kidnaps
them so they can study their immortality and powers.
Where

Imagine
thinking you were human all your life, then find out you’re not,
and if the government discovers you, you’ll become the most desired
paranormal test subject to ever live.
Where
would you hide?
In
2050, our world was divided into four species - Humans, Paranormals,
Descendants, and Mutated Humans. Ava James thinks she's human, but

realized.
Her
days just got a whole lot busier.
"You
need to learn to protect yourself. You need to know the dangers of
what you are, but also the strength of who you are."

Excerpt:
I'm
lying here curled into a ball on the cement floor after many weeks in
captivity, beaten, bruised and weak. My wounds will soon heal before
the next interrogation but as always I'll remain silent. I think back
on a happy memory I shared with him; Kyran Lewis.
Our
world was once free until they came along. Our country once in the
light now exists in shadows, because they live in darkness.
Nine
months earlier, I was walking to work through the woods near my home
on a cold, foggy morning where the scent of pine is in the air and
the crinkle of leaves below. I could certainly feel someone or
something following me. I see movement from behind a tree, a grey
wolf with soulful green eyes; I’m mesmerized. The wolf stares back
into my blue ones, well aware that I should be terrified, but
strangely a warm feeling of calm fell over me.
It
took a few steps towards me and I stood still not out of fear but
letting him smell me knowing dogs like to do that and wolves are
probably similar I would imagine. I'm not sure how I pick up the wolf
is male, just a hunch I feel and oddly a sudden hit of attraction
which quite frankly is disturbing.
The
wolf stops in front of me continuing to look into my eyes, I stare
back, and deep in his, I could feel intelligence in there much more
than an animal’s. The woods was grown for the werewolves by The
Government next to Central Park, and it isn't difficult to figure out
he is one. I'm not sure how but I know my life just changed, and in a
sense something moved inside of me clicking into place and from the
slightly startled look in his green eyes, he felt it too.
I
put my hand out, palm up, for him to sniff and to come closer. He
takes a sniff but I think purely for show sending out his ok for me
to stroke his fur. I move towards him allowing my hand to run through
his pelt. It's so soft and glossy looking, he makes a rumbling noise
in pleasure. Remembering I should be at work soon, I move back and
start walking the way I'd been going before I saw him but looking
over my shoulder every few seconds to watch the wolf who's going from
tree to tree following me.
The
wolf stops on the border of Woodlands Creek as I leave him, going
into the streets of New York, crossing the road. I look back at him
one more time before opening the door to work and find him still
watching me, sitting on his haunches.
That's
the first day I met Kyran Lewis, but I hadn't known that then. I
wouldn't find out the secret he held until many months later when my
story began.
Would
you want to live in the shadows?
