Chapter 1: History of Two Clans
In a big forest to the right of the town in the outskirts is a clan of werewolves. Will, a five year old werewolf, is sleeping soundly in her bed and then her mother came in and woke her up. For once, Will was ok with being woken up because today is the day that she gets to learn about creatures other then herself. The main and really only one that werewolves learn about are vampires. To them they are nothing more then killers which of course Will knows nothing about. Will knew that they are considered the enemy but she didn't know why and so that makes today extra special for her.
Will happily jumped out of bed and completely ignored her mother who was trying to give her breakfast. Before Susan knew, her daughter was out the door and on her way to school. Susan had to laugh at her daughter as she had never wanted to go to school before. Of course after today, the lesson would change everything for Will. Today Will would find out not only about vampires but how to hunt as well which means that she no longer got food that didn't look like a human.
Will quickly ran to school in order to learn more about vampires and why they are hated so much among her clan and other werewolves. Will got there early and sat down on the ground happily. After about five minutes, her good friend Hay Lin came by and sat down next to her. "Hi Hay Lin, you excited for today."
"Oh yeah, I can't wait to learn more about these enemies of ours. I also want to know why we are enemies." Hay Lin said with a big smile on her face but noticed Will get a look of wonder. Will had never really thought about why they are enemies; she just knows that they are. Now Will got so excited that she couldn't sit still and Hay Lin noticed this. "Ok calm down already." Hay Lin said putting a hand on her excited friends shoulder. Will stopped moving and waited for the teacher to arrive.
After about another agonizing five minutes for the two; the teacher finally walked in. All the kids started jumping up and down out of excitement. "Ok class, today we will talk about our vampire enemies that I know you're all excited to hear about." Their teacher said and then went right into explaining. "It began long before any of us were around. Back then vampires and werewolves were great friends and then a vampire stole from one of our kind with the help of many others. They took our most precious artifact that is now locked away and entrusted to the queen and queen only. After our artifact was stolen, we asked for it back but they refused to give it back and so the queen of their time announced a war on the vampires. These vampires killed many of us and we tried to just knock them out but they are ruthless and brutally killed many of our kind. We had decided to fight back and we won with the help of the queen and we took back our artifact. Our alliance with each other was then broken and we no longer make contact with them and if needed, we will attack to protect ourselves."
All the kids looked in awe and then Will asked a question that all the kids were wondering. "Sir, what is so special about this artifact. Why is it so important to us?" Will asked.
"Very good question young one. You see, this artifact is what will help keep us in the form of a human so that we can roam the streets carefree if we wish. It also keeps us from being killed easily which is why our kind died so easily during the war. Without it, we can't regenerate and with a single bullet, we can be killed instead of just weakened. Without that artifact, we may not have lived this long." After some more lessons, they went to go learn how to hunt.
On the left side of the town lives a clan of vampires who at this time are also being taught but they are learning about werewolves. Five year old Matt is there next to his good friend Eric. "So Eric, what do we do? I mean we have always been told that werewolves hate us but we were never told why and now they decide to tell us today. I guess my question wasn't correct but you know what I mean." Matt nodded wondering why they have been hated for so long.
"I don't know man but I can't wait to know what is up with them. What did we ever do to them." Eric knew the answer would be answered soon enough but he is just too excited. Just then Dean Collins walked into the circle. 'Finally.' Eric thought as the teacher sat down.
"It's time to tell you about the werewolves so lets get started." Dean said as he sat down. "We used to be good friends with the werewolves and then some cruel vampires stole there artifact. It let's them be free to walk around in public but only if in their possession. It also keeps them from dieing easily. It is true that they are very powerful but only in strength. Now when a few evil vampires stole it from them, they will say that they asked for it back when in reality, they outright attacked us. Unfortunately we had to fight back and we killed many as much as we didn't want to. The reason for it is so that we wouldn't make things any worse then they already were but we also had to defend ourselves and so we did kill many of them. After a long while of battling, their queen came in and killed many of us and took the artifact back. We have made a few werewolf friends as you know but most are too stubborn to listen to us." Dean said sadly. After a few questions it was time to learn some powers.
"I can't believe one of our kind would do that to a friend." Matt said depressed and then three girls walked over.
"Ok everyone, today we start you learning your vampire powers. There are skill levels which are determined by you and your ability to learn the others. I will start you all off with a fairly easy level one skill. It is called seduction which is only to be used to lure animals to you so that you may easily eat. Now with some skills, there are levels to them but we won't need to go any higher then level one skill. The higher you go in this skill level, the harder it is for it to be broken so you must also be close enough to the animal. This ability will only be necessary until you learn the extreme speed ability." Dean then explained how to use the ability that would be necessary for them to hunt. Matt of course learned very quickly how to do this ability as he practiced on a cat that would soon be lunch for him.
"I'm so ready to learn something harder then this." Matt sighed to himself but decided not to get too cocky about this being easy for him. He looked around and found that the next best people in the class are of course Irma, Cornelia, Taranee, and his friend Eric. It is no surprise to him since his friends are in much higher ranks then the others. They had all been helped a little bit on these things before they actually started school but were warned not to use there abilities before everyone else. Their families insist that it is only fair to the other children. Matt didn't care except that he really wanted to continue but knew that it would be wrong and kept cool.
After everyone had finally finished up with their training, Dean made an announcement. "Ok everyone, whoever couldn't do this ability today can practice at home with their parents. Those that couldn't do it; don't worry; things like this can take weeks for some and a day for others for multiple reasons. For those that had pulled off this level one skill, you no longer need your parents to bring food home for you. Also you will be practicing a new level one skill tomorrow. You may all leave now and good job everyone." Dean said happy with his students. Matt and his friends all decided to go and play for a while.
Will and her friends, Hay Lin, Caleb, Nigel, and Martin had all done very well with hunting. All but Martin are close with there young queen and decided to go and visit, all but Will did anyway. Will decided to head home and think about some things. 'It just doesn't make much sense to me, if the vampires are the killers then why are we practicing to kill humans. Doesn't that make us killers as well?' For such young mind, Will is very intelligent but then she is the only one that would think up questions like these.
Both clans may be young but they are all very clever at very young ages. Their brains grow faster then their bodies do and so it is normal for people of this age to think up such questions.
