government kidnaps them so they can study their immortality and powers.
Where would you go?
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 finds out she's not… and in more danger, than she ever
could have 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."
All set in year 3000

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?
