Intro
SINCE THE FIRST EXISTANCE OF VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES, hatred has brewed between them. Many times their races were threatened by each others' existence, and countless more times the human population was in critical numbers. But, as in many cases, there are few exceptions.
Melanie, a serene and depressive vampire, was half of the cause of one of these exceptions. She liked to test herself for some reason, starving herself of blood, seeing how long she could mingle with humans, and especially who she could take on and survive, and Milo was another one of her challenges. Milo, a boisterous yet somber werewolf, was the other half of the exception. The two met in one of the minor wars between their two races, Milo was trying to spy and Melanie easily found him. Since then it was a love-hate relationship.
Not too long after their relationship started, Melanie became pregnant. By now, her race knew of her affair and quietly ostracized her. When the time came for Melanie to give birth, only Milo was there to help her out. He almost went insane from the weakened state she was in, but he truly did love her. After hours of labor, Melanie had four children. The first two died from the fighting cells in her body. The other two children, named Cecilia and Helena, were raised under Milo and Melanie's loving yet insecure care.
At age 13, Cecilia died after months of extreme and unknown illness that had taken the offspring of other 'exceptions.' After this, Melanie snapped. She and Milo died torn apart by each other in a lover's embrace. Something in Helena snapped as well that night. She was now completely alone, exposed to brutal carnage, and felt like tearing herself apart. Until then, her family had been hidden, and only a few scientists knew of vampire or werewolf existence.
Helena exposed herself in a wild manner to humanity that was somewhat subtle. She was captured by a supernatural circus called Rare Taboos and performed with her morphing abilities and extreme durability until she was discovered.
One night Helena couldn't stand her hunger after five days of starvation. The ring master, several of the performers, and even a couple audience members suffered while she was in wolf form. Rare Taboos was burned to the ground that night, the rest of the audience members treated with severe brain-washing methods and therapy.
Helena was taken by those few scientists that knew of supernatural beings. By now she was 17, and, since this was her first attack and feeding alone, she was trapped in this body forever. Since all of these events in her life have brought trauma and distrust, she now doesn't trust humans and will not talk anymore (after months of painful testing) to anyone. Scientists still cannot figure out why she can survive or even how she exists and they don't plan to release her anytime soon…
