This is going to be a story about your not so average teenagers. They've got a secret, and there are people out there just dying to know it.

This is their journey to stay alive while the other guys continue their search to discover their secret and then ultimately destroy them.

This is truthfully the prologue to the story, because it would be pretty confusing otherwise.

I apologize if you dislike the poetry. I was feeling creative when I wrote it.

So enjoy.

Good evening my friends,

Come and sit down.

I'll tell you a story

More priceless than a crown.

And my name, my good friends,

Would be Chris McClein.

For some this brings joy,

And for others; pain.

But I'm not here to tonight,

To discuss me, myself, and I

Instead, 24 teens,

Some bold and some shy.

These teens were special,

Not regular kids,

Some morphed into creatures,

Others turned pens into squids.

Yes these teens were monsters,

But they turned out all right.

Yet it's still amazing

That the mortals lasted through the night.

Now I've got you wondering;

Who are these strange teens?

Well sit down and listen,

I'll tell you their means.

First, there is Duncan,

A tough boy he does seem,

But add a little werewolf and

He'll rip you apart before you can scream.

Then a wizard named Tyler,

He can make things fly,

With a flick of his wand

Or the blink of an eye.

Tyler's other half Bridgette,

A smart young witch whom,

Can shoot spells within seconds,

And is awesome on a broom.

A charming young vamp, Alejandro

Brings girls in a flood,

Right to his doorstep,

Hungry for blood.

Beth, in contrast,

Likes to hide in the walls,

Ghosts do that you know,

To protect mortals from deathly falls.

An excavation in Egypt,

Brought Heather to the scene,

Royal blood in her veins,

She's the mummified queen of mean.

Justin the alien's

Ship, it crashed landed.

Now all the girls love him;

That's not how he planned it!

Son of Medusa,

Trent's great on guitar,

But look him in the eyes,

And you'll be a literal rock star.

Away from the dark ones,

Lindsay loves to flitter.

Her fairy wings resemble butterflies,

And in the sun, they glitter.

With wings as dark as death itself

And mysterious eyes that match,

Noah proves to himself and the world

That harpies are hard to catch.

The dark phantom Gwen,

Waits in shadows by night

To give those mere mortals,

A heart stopping fright.

The loyal Sierra,

Jumps swiftly from shelf to shelf

Protecting the children

Tis the job of an elf.

Up in the creepy old house on the hill,

Lives a scientist quite sad,

For Izzy has lost her marble set,

Did I forget to mention she's mad?

Ezekiel is Izzy's creation,

Built with bolts and seams,

He's six foot eleven and very strong,

So he'd picked first for gym class teams.

Courtney is Izzy's other creation,

A rag doll with a brain.

If only she were as dumb as Ezekiel,

Then she'd drive less people insane.

Two faces usually mean bad news,

But Cody doesn't even know inside,

That he's always switching places between

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Deep under the sea

Near the little town,

Sadie waits for boat

Or some swimmers to drown.

Katie the mermaid,

Sadie's very best friend,

Could swim on for hours,

Without any end.

Geoff's a nice guy

Till you get him feeling tough,

Then watch where you're going

'Cause dragons are rough!

Owen the goblin

Is a nice guy, you see.

Too bad he's a goblin,

Not a fun creature to be.

The slyest monster of all,

Leshawna's a drifter,

But what else could you expect

From a sneaky shape shifter?

DJ is scared,

Of when the night moans.

And when dark whistling winds,

Rattle his bones.

The ghoulish boy Harold,

At night he creeps,

Round the dark alleys,

While the town sleeps.

But the worst monster of all,

The scariest yet,

Is Eva the boogie man,

She'd quite deadly I bet.

These are the teens,

My story's about.

So if you're going to their town

You'd better watch out.

But even thought their monsters,

Each one's still a teen.

And when they're all together,

They're like nothing you've ever seen.

So that's the prologue. And just to recap quickly:

Alejandro is a vampire.

Beth is a ghost.

Bridgette's a witch.

Cody's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Courtney is a Rag Doll (like Sally from Nightmare before Christmas)

DJ is a skeleton.

Duncan is a werewolf.

Eva is the boogie man.

Ezekiel is like Frankenstein.

Geoff is a dragon.

Gwen is a phantom.

Harold is a ghoul.

Heather is a mummy.

Izzy's a mad scientist.

Justin is an alien.

Katie's a mermaid.

Leshawna's a shape shifter.

Lindsay is a fairy.

Noah's a harpie.

Owen's a goblin.

Sadie is a sea monster.

Sierra is an elf.

Trent is Medusa's son.

And Tyler is a wizard.

This story will get better, I promise. (And no more poetry!)
