Chapter 1
My story is inspired by the movie Bright. I don't own Bright or any original movie characters,
photos of Rachel Brosnahan are used as photos of OC.
OC name: Aella (pronounced AY-luh)
I'm still writing the story, and I'm putting my feelers out so if you like it, don't be shy!
Early chapters may be a bit short, but they get longer as the story progresses.

Aella POV
The sun…shining through a sliver of window that my curtains failed to hide, sits its rays on my face making sure I wake up exactly 48 minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Wishing I was the kind of person that could just roll over and go back to sleep, I reluctantly sit up rubbing my face.
I look over with one eye barely open to make sure I remembered to pick up my uniform from the cleaners. It's there. Crisp, fresh, and almost glowing as if the uniform itself is excited about going to work today. Sitting next to it on my desk are gun and badge.
Check, check, and check.
While showering I mentally replay yesterday's chaos. Most days are smooth, but the occasional shit show is inevitable. Not that I hated my job as a beat cop in a large city…I knew what I was getting myself into. I loved the chaos, the challenge, the pressure, the experience. I do this because part of me wants the community to know that there is someone that gives a fuck, but the other part of me wonders if this will be my last shift.
After assignments were given out, I was getting details about my assignment from captain when two beat cops came walking over, one of them calling to captain like he's objecting his assignment…loud, fast, and Jesus Christ he's annoying. She pauses me and proceeds to immediately shut his argument down. While she tears him a new one I cringe and start to walk off but something catches my eye and I look back. Standing next to the hot-headed deputy is his partner….an orc. THE orc. The one the whole station is constantly talking about. The only orc cop in the country. I had heard many stories about these two cops, but I had never seen them.…and the orc cop was staring at me. But not in a vengeful, or menacing way. His eyes were full of curiosity veiled under bashful. When I made eye contact with him, he dropped his eyes immediately to the ground, like he was avoiding getting caught, and turns his focus onto his partner getting grilled. Captain then turns to me, then double-takes and realizes its me standing there. She has a thought and looks back at him saying, while pointing at me: "here, meet your new OTHER partner. Since you two can't figure out the whole PARTNERSHIP THING, I'll add to it. This here is Stone. If anyone can pull you two out of your bullshit, it's her." She turns and takes back the folder she handed me, telling me: "Never mind this, new assignment. Partner up with these guys, they're on a pretty tough beat and also need to be reminded of the purpose of a cooperative partnership. She gives them one last glare before turning on her heel walking off, leaving all three of us a nice blend of shocked and confused.
What the hell just happened?! I got pulled off an easy day to babysit these jokers? They both looked at me in unison. The orc had an apology forming in his eyes, but the loud mouth had as much disinterest in this new partnership as I.
