I'm absolutely in love with this story right now and I can't stop thinking about it. It's been plaguing my mind for days on end and though I've been typing it out I feel a crazy need to share it with you. What good is a story if other people think it's shitty?
Thanks for reading, lots of love from me to you.
In the year 2020 WWIII broke out, and the world was destroyed in a mass attack of nuclear weaponry. Those who weren't killed by the explosion were destroyed by the after effects of the nuclear radiation. The end of the war resulted in half the planet under water and many previously unknown species emerging, sensing the end of the human and animal reign.
They fought each other for domination of the planet. By 2035 the vampires were the most powerful beings inhabiting the earth. The few humans that were left were taken in by the vampires. They were bred and used as a constant source of food and were not turned until they neared the end of their lifetime. The humans had accepted their fate and joined in harmony with the vampires, giving their blood willingly in order to live. As the years went on, the humans began to repopulate and create lives for themselves, but the vampires no longer stayed in the shadows, they walked among the people, recognised by their red eyes. They tried to give their blood willingly, but most vampires didn't have the control needed to stop feeding. The humans continue to live their lives, though they live it in fear.
There were many races and species that tried opposing the vampires. The werewolves were the most successful, but in the end they were outnumbered, for the wolf genes could not generate new wolves faster than they were being killed off. They grew weak and were pronounced extinct.
The only other group that almost succeeded in killing off the vampires was a small group, most commonly called 'Flyers' by the english vampires. No one knew who they were, where they came from, or how they got there, but they were beyond powerful and exceptionally intelligent. They looked almost identical to humans, though more striking in appearance. The Flyers used their moulted feathers fashioned into clothing. Their wings ranged in colour, but normally stayed in the greyscale. Each feather could cut a vampire's head clean off. Their powers of seduction and innocence couldn't be resisted, often causing the deaths of even the most guarded and cautious vampire.
Their only weakness was their lack in numbers. There were only 20 known Flyers on the planet. And the amount of vampires outnumbered them a million to one. The odds were in the vampires favour, but even knowing, they still took the chance.
There was a great war. All the vampires gathered in two places; the main area of Europe and Canada. The group in Canada, their numbers unknown, took on twelve Flyers, while the group in Europe took on the other eight. After the battle, fires raging, the vampire numbers were shattered; merely 2 million vampires remaining. But on that day, the vampires claimed victory. The Flyers had become extinct, so they thought. And the humans remained under the vampire power.
Time seemed to slow down as I surveyed the scene behind me. My mate Charles was a few feet away pinpointing any vampires that looked in my direction. As I ran, he killed the witnesses of my departure, his form getting further and further away every second. When I was about to reach the edge of the forest, Charlie turned to look at me. A fierce look came over his face; showing me the depth of his love for me. Mustering all I could, I returned the glance sadly before turning my head to the forest, focusing on what would be my salvation.
Our salvation.I corrected, palming my stomach as I raced towards the tree line. In the time it took to turn my gaze towards the forest I heard a ghastly screeching behind me. This sound surpassed that of the severing of vampire limbs; this sound came from an injured Flyer. I squeezed my eyes shut before opening them again; my deep brown eyes focusing on the leaves and twigs before me, focusing on my goal of saving the child that lived inside me.
You will be the one to finish what we started.
