1 Chapter 1: One Of A Kind Soul

Ever since I've opened my eyes to life in this wretched world full of suffering and misery, I realized that I was different from other people. Although no one in this world is truly identically the same. People often like to criticize those that are different from them. Think of them as weird and unwanted when they don't fit a certain mold of what you're supposed to be.

That's what I've always felt like in this day of age and I've always felt like I'm just some lost little girl even back then when I was at the orphanage. People might be wondering what could be this thing that makes me unique from others, the reason why people tend to shy away and stay away from me.

Well, it has something to do with sharp claws and teeth. Being a werewolf. Which is a human being who, upon the complete rising of the full moon, became an uncontrollable, fearsome and deadly wolf. One moment people found out about it, they start to condemn me and fear me. I mean what did I expect. It's what my parents did after leaving me as a baby. Perhaps they knew I was a werewolf and just did the next best thing.

I can feel my body suddenly drifting away from my conscience until a slight nudge on my shoulder brings me back from reality.

"Hey! You big dummy! Are you just going to stand there or are you actually going to tell us about your day? I mean that is why you called us here right?" She nudges me and makes a pouty face.

"Yeah, Lily. Are you alright? You seem rather out of it? Is everything okay?" The man with a black hooded cloak beside her shows concerns to me.

"I'm fine guys." I sighed, responding to them. This short bubbly and a bit air-headed girl next to me is Valerie. She's quite a handful to deal with but like me, she is one of a kind. She isn't like any normal human and she possesses an ability and a duty. She's a cupid to be exact. Capable of pairing two people together. Not exactly sure about her details and such since I never bothered asking her.

"Good. I'm glad you're alright. Though I believe it's because you've been putting too much time into your idol career right? I heard that you had to do a lot of practice with your dancing and singing and as well as having a strict diet. Surely you might need a break from doing all of that." The man in the hooded cloak hands me a coffee drink, checking up on me.

This man with black hair, a black hooded cloak, and an observant personality is my friend, Damien. He's quite anti-social and rather avoids talking to others but somehow we became friends. He's also one of a kind just like me. He's a grim reaper in charge of collecting souls of those who are destined to be dead in the book of life. There are a lot of grim reapers but he's the only one of them I know.

I don't know how a merry gang of misfits was able to befriend one another but I'm sure that it's because of the shared trait of weirdness that we all have together. Something that no regular human can understand from all of us.

"I suppose you could say that but that's not why I brought all of you here," I responded to Damien's question, accepting his coffee cup and taking a sip from it.

"Oh my gosh! Did you find a boyfriend or something?! Spill! Spill! Spill! I'm so proud of you. You know, I always thought that you were nothing but a pathetic romantic less virgin but alas you actually found someone that would love you! That's so awesome!" Valerie stood from her seat, beaming with joy as I rolled my eyes at her conclusion.

"Um.. thanks for the confidence booster but who said anything about me getting a new boyfriend? I have a bit of a problem right now and I don't get time for your love fantasies, Valerie. I'm not like some hopeless romantic like you that just falls in love with any guy or girl that's near you." I responded, getting her face to turn into a scowl.

"This is why you're such a party pooper, Lily. You know that life is so beautiful when you have love with you. It's what brings color to our being. The thing that people fight for and people live for! You should really try to get some life dear." She scoffs me off, checking her make-up in a dramatic sense.

"I'm sure not everyone is so lovestruck like you are Valerie. Some people try to take time with their relationships rather than just jumping back and forth with them as you do. I'm sure you already know that by now since you know what kind of person she is." Damien tries to explain me to her but she refused to listen and rolled her eyes.

"Ugh. You bitches are so useless. I'm about to reach my deadline for finding a pair. If I don't make two people fall in love and make them live happily after. I can die you know? So if yall hoes got someone you know who has a broken heart. Let me know, okay besties?" Valerie gleefully smiles.

"I knew it! You had ulterior motives after all! I should have known from someone like you! Helping me out my ass. All you need is to get love but anyways that's not what I got all of you here. I have a big problem and I need you two for help. It has something to do with my werewolf nature and if I'm not able to stop it there's gonna be big trouble especially since a full moon is approaching soon."

They both look at each other with confusion, making me shake my head. I'm going to have to explain this, don't I...
