TYLER Grandma was always there for me. She pretty much filled the void the absence of my parents left in my life. More than just being there for me, her wisdom helped me get through things and I couldn't say this too many times. One of the many instances was when she helped me understand that being different was normal and there wasn't anything to be ashamed of. You see, when I was younger, I was jealous of my peers who were regular werewolves. Teenage werewolves often had very strong bonds with their friends because they got to experience a lot together. Because they were young and still discovering their powers, once a month, they would go out into the woods together to change. They would come back, loud and excited, talking about all the things they did together. I always use to feel left out.Most werewolves didn't know that I had been jealous of them as a kid. Being a Green Eye meant that I didn't get to feel any pain whenever I was changing into a wolf. I was a little stronge

ETHAN I was in an old empty building. The pitch darkness made me wonder if I still had eyes. I brought my hands to my face and felt my eyes; they were there, but I wasn't seeing anything. The darkness was like nothing I had ever seen. I found it difficult to say just what was the most horrifying thing for me. Was it the absolute darkness? Was it the fact that my heart wouldn't stop pacing even though I had tried breathing deep and steady? Or was it the fact that I tried shouting, but no word could come out? All these and more were making me question everything and I have never wanted to cry so much as I did now. At least, if I could cry, I would hear my own voice and feel alive. Or just feel something other than fear.Then I heard a sound. No, it was nothing, I said to myself. It sounded no more than a few stealthy footsteps, but I knew it was more than that even though I tried to tell myself otherwise. I started breathing loudly, at least that was the one sound I could make. I bega

ADA Sitting at the large dining table, surrounded by my family and, well, strangers, I couldn't help but notice my father pulling Tyler aside for a private conversation. Despite their attempts at speaking in hushed tones, my heightened senses allowed me to hear every word being exchanged between them. As much as I tried to ignore the conversation, my curiosity got the best of me and I found myself eavesdropping. I couldn't help but feel conflicted; on one hand, Tyler had been nothing but a complete gentleman, but on the other, my father was quite protective and guarded when it came to his family. Particularly, when it came to me. “How are you feeling?” Mum said, looking at me and Dad, who was now sitting at the table. “I'm fine,” I let out. “You know what, Mum? I will like to take a look around the cabin. Seems really big.” I went out first, wanting to view the cabin from the front. As I stood before what, compared to my little height, appeared to be a towering structure, I could

ADA“Ada, get back,” Dad yelled as he pulled me behind him.The eerie silence that lingered in the compound was broken by the sudden intrusion of the Xiray. Its skin, an inky shade of black, was the very embodiment of darkness. Its eyes were like deep, empty pits, within which swirled an otherworldly energy that sent shivers down my spine.As I watched, my hands trembling, from a safe distance, Tyler and Johnny slowly came up to the Xiray. Their movements were slow but steady. Both of them had this grim determination as they approached the Xiray, their claws already out of their fingers. I stared at them in awe because in this moment, there didn't seem to be a foe they couldn't take down.However, the Xiray seemed fearless. If anything, it was excited for the fight to start. The Xiray was a formidable foe, with sharp claws that glinted menacingly in the dim light. I held my breath as I stared at it. But Tyler and John, from the way they acted, didn't seem like they were strangers to f

TYLER I walked along a pathway that led to the top of a nearby hill. As I looked around, it was as though I was suddenly transported to a realm of utter serenity and tranquility. I have always been one to sit back and enjoy watching the beauty of the world. The towering trees extended heavenward, like imposing giants commanding the attention of all who behold them. Their branches stretched out like arms beckoning me forward. The grandeur of the natural world left me awestruck, and a profound feeling of respect and admiration washed over me. The warm rays of the sun tenderly grazed my cheeks, while the gentle breeze brushed against my skin. I felt as if the world itself was embracing me and, of course, it received the same energy from me. Taking it all in, I gaped at everything I saw, taking in the beauty and splendor of my environment. My heart beat with gratitude for the beauty that surrounded me. The trees stood tall like magnificent monuments of life. Their trunks exhibited an un
