Chapter 1

PLEASE READ

Hey *waves*

Welcome to the rewritten version of Being Human, If your reading this for the first time Lucky you, If your reading this for the second time...sorry. Now this chapter will, of course explain the world ghouls for those who didn't know, and after that you'll get to meet my OC's.

For those who are reading this a second time I suggest you still read it, Only because you get to see the world Ghouls live in and understand what the CCG is, since they play a part in the plot (although not much). The backstory is different than before and you will have a better idea of how my OC's are, personality wise.

BTW Sapphire has a different type of Kagune now.

WARNING: This chapter is going to contain scenes of gore so If that makes you squeamish or offends you in any way then please skip that certain part. It's not that graphic or detailed (I hope it isn't) but I still want to make sure everyone's comfortable with that.

I don't own anything, nor do I own the idea of Ghouls that all belongs to Ishida Sui and Stephine Meyer. I only own my OC's

"Please, please let me go. I promise not to tell, I'll give you anything you want. Please don't kill me." Scowling at the cowering man before her Sapphire stabbed her kagune into his right leg, giving a satisfied sigh when she heard his scream. bending down so she could level there eyes, she tilted her head to the side, and then stabbed his left leg, immobilizing him. She reached out so she could grab a hold of his chin, smiling when she saw him flinch from her grip.

"Now I can't do that, You see I need to eat so I don't starve, and when I starve I have to kill a lot of people, and When I kill a lot people the Doves come after me." She explained slowly, as if talking to a child. "And I can't have the doves come after me can I?"

"Please, I'm begging you, I-I have a family-" The man let out a choked sob whether if it was from the pain or for his family Sapphire didn't know, nor did she care.

Sapphire looked at the man with distaste before she stabbed him once again, this time in the stomach. Leaning closely her lips brushed against his ear earning another flinch from the man.

"Now, now It's going to be okay. You won't be able to feel a thing." She whispered leaning back she watched his expression. Blood was oozing from his mouth and nose which made it harder for Sapphire to control her hunger. The man began to thrash and squirm, clawing at her eyes he released a scream. giving an annoyed huff Sapphire stood up removing her kagune from both his legs, She let him crawl a bit before he slumped down when the bleeding in his stomach started to increase and his breaths started to come out in choked gasped. Watching in pure amusement Sapphire raised her kagune and brought it down.

His head rolled to the ground.

Sapphire didn't usually kill her prey this fast, She would most often than not enjoy torturing them before finally eating, but he smelt so good. She had to keep herself from ripping him in half when she pinpointed his scent. Ripping of an arm she started on the fingers, nibbling on the flesh.

She heard footsteps walking towards her, She stopped and sniffed the air before rolling her eyes. She could never have a peaceful dinner could she? She tared off the finger she was nibbling on and stood up and faced the other two uninvited guest. Putting the now skinned finger into her mouth she bite off half of it. She looked up to see two pairs of eyes staring at her with anticipation and hunger. Sapphire rolled her eyes and finished chewing before speaking.

"Do you guys want some?" She asked. They wasted no time in dashing out and standing by her watching the man's corpse with hunger. Turning to boy, Jace, she asked. "Which part do you want?"

"The eyes please" she stepped aside, allowing him to pick up the decapitated head and claw the eyes out. He licked the blood off before popping it into his mouth. Sapphire turned to Clarissa, who was practically drooling at the sight.

"Which part do you want?" She repeated. Clarissa nodded to the corpse's torso

"Organs" Sapphire nodded and ripped the mans torso in half letting his insides spill out, She watched as Clarissa rushed over and reached for the heart. Her hands and face covered in splattered in blood when she took a bite. Sapphire sat down and grabbed the arm she was eating earlier and ripped off another finger, and began chewing on it before looking at Jace and Clarissa.

"Didn't you already eat?" She asked, lifting up the hand and biting off another finger. Clarissa shrugged.

"Well Yeah but we smelled the blood, and we got hungry. Good catch by the way he tastes good" She said, reaching out for the liver and taking a bite out of it. Sapphire scowled.

"Can't you find your own food then? I don't see why you guys always have to come and steal my food" She huffed.

"Sapphire, you always find the tasty ones, and You can't even finish one body , were doing you a favor" Jace pointed out,motioning between him and his sister. He released his kagune and cut the body's skull in half letting the brain roll into his hands. Both Clarissa and Sapphire cringed when he took a bite out of it blood and clear liquids leaking out.

"How Do you like that so much It tastes horrible and it so mushy and soft," Clarissa said, and gagged when he took another bite. "It's so gross."

He rolled his eyes. "You think everything from the neck and up is gross, and the organs or soft and mushy too."

This time Clarissa rolled her eyes. "Yeah but dude It's a a lot more juicer and refreshing, and that," She pointed to the half eaten brain in his hands to which Sapphire wrinkled her nose at. "Is dry and it smells bad."

Jace waved a hand in dismissal and returned to eating. They ate the rest of their meal in silence, only being interrupted when one of them occasionally groaned or moaned when the taste got to them. Eating her final piece of meat Sapphire stood up, Brushing off the dirt on her jeans.

"C'mon We got to go to home, It's getting late and I need to go to work tomorrow" She exclaimed putting her hands on her hips. Sapphire ignored Jace's grumbling and walked out of the alleyway making sure no one was around before motioning Clarissa and Jace to follow her. They jumped when they heard Sapphire's Cell phone ring, Cursing She pulled it out, checking who it was before answering.

"Hey stranger, How's it going?" She said a smile on her face.

"Who is it?" Clarissa asked leaning in a bit so she could hear. Sapphire leaned away a bit so she could whisper to them.

"Charlie" She replied.

"Yeah...Oh Bella's coming back?...Oh, I don't know Charlie I have work to do and-...I'll see what I can do *pause* I make no guarantees though...hmm, who?...Oh, Jace and Clarissa they're fine...Oh okay, yeah sure, I'll see what I can do...Bye Charlie say hi to Bella for me" She pulled the phone from her ear and ended the call.

"What did he call about." Jace asked.

"He said that Bella was coming back-"

"Wait, Bella's coming back?" Clarissa interrupted.

"uh, yeah anyways Charlie really wants to surprise her so he asked if we wanted to go and visit" Sapphire shrugged when she finished her sentence.

"Say yes, I don't see the problem." Clarissa said as they rounded the corner and stopped.

Their house was set ablaze, People surrounding it while firefighters and police tried to kill the fire. Sapphire groaned while Clarissa gaped, and Jace looked horrified. They just moved here they hadn't even stayed there for a year.

"Well, that settles it. I'm going to have to call Charlie back, It seems like we're moving to forks."

"Open your books to page 293 and read silently, I expect a ten page report by the end of the week," A frim voice boomed through the large classroom. Felix ran a hand through his hair and gave out a tired sigh, He didn't have his usual cup of coffee this morning. He's been in auto pilot all day and It didn't help when he had to read something he knew very well and write ten pages of it. Struggling to keep his mind focus he began to read.

Ghouls

Ghouls: are a carnivorous and cannibalistic species that are only able to feed on humans and other ghouls. They are as close to humans as possible: They normally have the same physical appearance and intelligence as a human with the exception of diet, mentality and inner biology. It is said humans and Ghouls may be able to have offspring but their have been no cases reported.

Feeding Habits

Besides water and coffee, a ghoul can only feed on humans and other ghouls. They are unable to digest any other type of food due to a particular enzyme their bodies produce. The structure of their tongues are also different from humans', making other foods taste disgusting and uncomfortable.

While ghouls can't eat normal food, they are able to drink coffee. They are also able to drink plain water. If ghouls try to eat normal food, they will be struck by a powerful urge to vomit. When forced or forcing themselves to digest such food, it will degrade their physical condition.

Ghouls don't need to eat in the short term like humans do. They can survive for one or two months just feeding on one body. However, some ghouls eat merely for pleasure.

When a ghoul enters an extreme state of hunger, they will suffer very painful headaches and lose all reason, causing them to become driven by instinct alone. They will feed on any available source of human meat to end this state, even that of close friends.

Although ghouls can go up to two months without human flesh, some ghouls can feed on more than eleven people in just a few days.

Physical Appearance

Ghouls have high physical capability and are four to seven times stronger than the average human: They are able to send the average human flying if they strike with enough force and can penetrate a human's body with their bare hands. They are also able to jump several meters high.

Under normal conditions, ghouls have a high regenerative ability: Small wounds and fractures heal in a matter of seconds to a day, and even grave wounds heal after few days, as long as the ghoul has adequate food supply. They also have a tougher body than most regular solid materials. For example, if a ghoul were to be stabbed with a knife, the metal of the knife would break. The body of a ghoul does not get injured easily and only more keen tougher materials can injure them. A strong enough force may also be able to break their tough body.

Ghouls have better senses than humans. They can smell people or meat from afar and can tell apart humans and ghouls by their smell. They also have a heightened sense of hearing that even allows some ghouls to discern individual footsteps from far away.

Ghouls seem to age at the same rate as humans, further allowing them to blend in.

Biology

Ghouls have an "Rc factor" ten times higher than a human. If the average healthy human has about 200-500 Rc level, then the ghoul has about 1000-8000 Rc level They possess an organ known as the kakuhou, from which Rc cells harden and break through the skin to form the kagune. The kagune is a hard, muscle-like protrusion described as their claws. It can take the form of a pair of sharp wings or tentacle-like appendages, a tail, or a drill-like object, depending on the ghoul's materials and his or her own Rc type. It is possible for a ghoul to have develop another, usually armor-like, kagune as part of the mutation caused by excessive cannibalism. Ghouls also have an identifying feature known as a Kakugan, an affliction manifesting in the eyes as red pupils surrounded by black sclera. A ghoul's kakugan can appear either by their own will, due to hunger or from using their kagune.

Ghouls have a liking for human meat, but it is not uncommon for them to cannibalize one another. Ghoul meat is considered coarse and disgusting but it has the merits of being an alternative food source and increases a ghoul's Rc levels to the point of mutation, evolving their kagune's overall strength. Occasionally, cannibalistic ghouls gain through this mutation an armor-like kagune besides the predatory kagune that ghouls commonly possess, turning them into kakujas.

All ghouls, though invincible to damage from man-made objects, are vulnerable to damage or modifications made to their mucous membranes, such as nostrils, eyes, ears, lips.

Currently, the origin of these traces in ghouls is unknown. There are no known links as to where ghouls evolved or came from.

Weaknesses

Ghouls can be killed if forced to consume normal food, which will weaken their physical condition and possibly make them vulnerable to man-made objects such as guns, knifes, swords, etc. The same can be done with Rc suppressants.

Ghouls will die if they receive extremely critical or life-threatening traumatic injuries that will kill them before they have a chance to heal.

They are also vulnerable to Quinques and Q bullets due to them being made out of a ghoul's kagune.

It has also been said that a ghoul can be killed by decapitation but by what weapon or object is the mystery.

Lifestyle

Ghouls can live as hermits; isolated and avoiding society's eyes, or can attempt to assimilate with the humans. Living among humans is seen as "walking on a thread of rope" because of their biology and social records. If they are caught in ghoul activities or suspected of being a ghoul, investigators have the right to apprehend or kill them as they see fit. Ghouls that are identified as such can be hunted down like criminals.

Because a ghoul doesn't require much due to their high physique and their diet of human meat, they can live adequately as vagabonds with little to no money, although such a life is generally as uncomfortable as it might be for a human. Because of their diets any money earned at their jobs can be spent on other necessities, like rent or entertainment rather than having to buy food.

They can pretend to eat food in order to fool other people into believing they are human. However they must make themselves throw up soon enough afterwards, or they'll become sick. Because they can only consume human flesh, they are very territorial when it comes to "hunting grounds" on which it is appropriate to hunt humans without notice. Human consumption depends on the ghoul as some may prefer to be scavengers who only take from people who were recently deceased. Other ghouls may moderately hunt humans as carnivores with thoughts of appreciation for the lives they must consume, although there are ghouls who will indiscriminately devour as much as they can. Ghouls who indulge in excess have developed a superficial view on the value of life after consuming so many humans, much like how humans perceive livestock they grow and consume.

Felix blinked when he heard the bell ring, He was lucky he finished before class ended. There was no way he was going to read that when he went back to his room, He was planning on sleeping the whole day. Slowly sitting up he collected his things and walked out the door.

Only two more classes to go.

I'm not sure if I like this or not, But oh well, It's done. Well the Information I got was from The Tokyo Ghoul Wikia Page so kudos to them. Thank you Aqua Lilly for being awesome and reviewing frequently, I really like the Idea and I will definitely use it. I didn't get the chance to add that in but I will make sure to get that part in, probably next chapter because it's going to be through Jace's POV.

Like I said in the authors note if you want a certain paring to happen or OCXOC, Or just plain old canon couples thing going on don't be afraid to ask.

Have any questions or comments (especially if you have any advice) Please review or just PM me.

Until next time my lovelies!
