1 The New Races
In 20XX, Alongside with human race, another race started existing known as Supernatural races which include Angels, Elves, Mermaids, Witches, Dragons, and Werewolves.
Starting with the emergence of these Supernatural races humans started panicking because they were far stronger than any normal humans.
Witches and Elves had their magical abilities which were Powerful yet dangerous. Mermaids and Angels were known for their beautiful voice and kind heart and the strongest were Dragons and Werewolves which were gaint in size and was known for their strong desire to control, possessive and Cold-blooded.
Authorities knew that they can't win them. So, they held a meeting with the Supernatural council.
This includes 180 years old Dragon named Syles Who still looked like in his thirties and a fairy named Alastair who was 170 years old with a kind face. His aura made members present there feel very comfortable and a Merman named Ularike was 150 years old. He had a very beautiful voice and his handsome face made females present their blush, a witch named Endora who was 160 years old with a seductive look that made males present their heart beat fast, an Elve named Adarian who was 140 years old but his short height and his seductive eyes made him look like a teenager and the Last one was a Lycan named Zender who was oldest among all of them. He looked mature with features like Greek God but his actual age was 300 years old. The dangerous yet powerful aura around him screamed respect. People can't help but wanted to bow down in front of him.
During the meeting, the authorities put their only condition to let them live in human society was that they have to live according to human law. They can't kill any human as they wish.
Listening to their conditions, all the council members could not help but chuckled.
"You puny humans want us to become your slaves".The calm voice of Zender made pin drop silence in the meeting.
"No, we didn't mean that," Bradon one of the members of human authorities said as huge sweat formed on his forehead.
Zender Chuckled.
"Then what do you mean"? Endora the Witch asked while twirling her bangs seductively.
Seeing her seductively twirling her hair Brandon couldn't help blushing.
"We...I...mea..mean..."He stammered.
There was drop-dead silence in the hall.
Suddenly Alexander who was 50 years old, a member of human authorities stood up from his seat. He was a retired Soldier and now was working as a military advisor. Despite his age, he looked in his thirties with a mature face...
He was appointed as a military advisor because of his calm nature and a very good decision-maker.
He faced towards Zender and said, "We mean that if you want to live in our Society with us then you have to live like us. Unnecessary Bloodshed and Killing are not allowed in our society. You have to live according to our laws. This is not an order or disrespect but our request because compared to you we are just normal humans. Also before your races were living far away from us. We didn't even know your existence but now you want to live in human society so there must be a reason. So, it is also best for you and we also just want to live peacefully".
"Only the mighty can survive, and this is the rule of the jungle," retorted Syles impatiently. As a Dragon, his temper was very irritable right now.
" But this is not a jungle, this is a human society where humans live", Alexander calmly answered without giving him any glance.
They started arguing with each other. For a while, there was a commotion in the hall.
"Ok, we accept your conditions"...Alastair, the fairy said.
With this, all the present authorities had a sigh of relief but other council members were glaring at them as if they wanted to rip their necks. They know they can't if they wanted to save their races from going extinct they have to live in human society.
Seeing them like this the authorities didn't care because the decision was already made. But they still glanced towards Zender who was leisurely sipping his tea. Seeing all the attention on him he didn't bother to say anything. After finishing his tea he stood up from his seat and started walking out of the meeting hall.No one dared to say anything.
"We would appreciate it if you humans better not interfere in our personal life and try your best not to provoke us. Otherwise we won't mind using our jungle law in Your human society".With this last warning, he left the hall.
Alexander walked toward the remaining council members and said," We will try our best to live peacefully with you" without hearing any response from them he also left the meeting hall.
From then on these two races tried their best to coexist peacefully which was successful but there was a reason.
The reason was, that humans discovered that every Supernatural person had his /her own soulmate. Whom they can easily recognize by their unique body scent and they would feel their soul attached to his /her other half on their 18th birthday.
Surprisingly, Some supernatural persons had normal humans as their mates which made the relationship between these two races strong.
The ability of normal and Supernatural person's offspring whether it is a human or a Supernatural depends on the power of their genes because there were also some Pureblood Supernatural races, some were impure blood(Which means the mating of two different races) but the rarest and powerful were noble who had royal blood flowing in their body.
And those Royals families were:- Sullivans, Wrights, Wespers, and Phoneix.
17 Years Ago......
A woman wearing a black cloak and a mysterious mask on her face which made only her lips and eyes visible with a sleeping baby girl wrapped in a pink fluffy blanket in her arms was walking towards the forest. As she reached the periphery of the forest she rudely throw the baby towards the other women wearing patched clothes. With a disgusting look on her face, the woman patted her hands as if she had touched something unholy and commanded the maid in her haughty voice.
"Kill this scourge deep in the forest where even her bones shouldn't leave".
The maid didn't want to do this kind of sin but thought about her son who was just 3 years old and was in the custody of woman in a cloak. She immediately bowed her head toward the cloak-wearing women and started walking deep into the forest.
As she reached the secluded place she looked at the angelic face of the baby girl. Her heart immediately melted. She herself was a mother and couldn't bear this kind of sin. She silently cried. Somewhere deep in her heart, she knew that maybe today she will die but she can't take risks for her son.
She really didn't want to do this but......
After a while she looked at the dark night sky and walked out of the forest with her clothes soaked in blood and her face was pale as if she had committed an unforgiving sin.
As she exit the forest she saw the woman in the cloak still standing there like a devil from hell which frightened her to the core. The woman also saw the maid with a frightened face and her blood-soaked clothes. With a satisfied smile on her face, She narrowed her eyes which were full of disgust and schemes, and a cruel smile evoked from her lips.
Seeing this the maid shuddered in fear. Suddenly the woman took out a long knife. On a dark night, the sharpness of the knife reflected through the moonlight pierced the maid's heart.
The maid didn't scream maybe because she had already anticipated her death today but still in the hope to see her son again she wanted to run and scream but the pain in her heart made her unable to do so.
Watching her struggling like this the mysterious woman laughed like a madman.
"This secret the fewer people know the better".Saying this she pulled out the knife from her heart with an excited smile on her face as she licked the blood on the knife.
In the silent dark night, the red blood gushed out of the maid's heart like a tide. She falls to the ground. The maid silently looked towards the dark sky and thought of her son's innocent face.
It's been a week since she last saw her son. it's been a week since she last hugged him, kissed him. It's been a week since she last listened to him sweetly calling her "Mother" in his milky and childish voice. Her son was a little clingy, Now who will take care of him?
Her last wish was to see her son but she know she can't …..
As she closed her regret-filled eyes forever two red bloody tears slipped from the corner of her both eyes.
After killing the maid the woman in the cloak buried her dead body along with her cloak and knife at the periphery of the forest. After burying she sprayed some kind of potion there. With a satisfied look on her face, She left without looking back.
After half an hour, An elderly couple looking in their 60s entered the deep forest while carrying lots of luggage with them. Despite their old age, they looked very energetic. Carrying such heavy luggage with them their footsteps were still firm.
As they reached deep into the woods they heard a crying voice that sounded like a baby's voice in the silent night which was barely audible.
They hastily made towards the voice and reached deep into the forest. When they reached there, they saw a baby girl wrapped in a pink fluffy blanket, in the silent moon night, the golden pendent around her neck shined like a holy light under the big banyan tree.
Some small animals around her nuzzled towards her as they were trying to comfort her and the girl started giggling happily as some pearl-like tears hung on her eyelashes.
The Elderly lady made her toward them. The harmless animals around the baby stood on alert as they were trying to protect her. Even some ivy vines tied the lady's legs but they were still weak so the elderly lady easily broke through those vines.
Actually watching this bizarre scene they were not shocked because they themselves belong to the Supernatural race what shocked them was the actions of animals and plants towards them and their urge to bow down in front of an infant.
From this, they knew she was a special baby.
After a while, the elderly man walks toward them. He also felt the powerful aura around her. Unlike his wife, he immediately bowed down in front of the baby girl. Seeing this the lady also hastily bowed down. The animals around the baby silently vanished into the deep forest, as if they felt the humans in front of them were not malicious towards the angel.
The lady picked up the baby and kissed her forehead with a loving look on her face and said to her husband "She is beautiful like an angel".
The elderly man looked toward his wife and a silent tear slipped out from the corner of his eyes. It's been a long since he saw his wife so happily smiling.
"Yes, She is beautiful. Just like her grandma"
The lady looked toward her husband with a questioning look on her face.
Seeing this he chuckled.
"From Now on we will take care of her like our granddaughter".
"Yes, yes I am her grandmother and she is my granddaughter". She said while crying.
With that both of them looked at each other with love and their newly found granddaughter was peacefully sleeping in her grandma's embrace.
But this harmonious environment was disturbed by a weak cry of an animal cub.
They both turned their attention towards the source of sound and found a weak wolf cub who was badly bruised. The blood and injuries on his body looked intentional which was fresh and severe.
The elderly man made his toward the cub and picked it up. While seeing the severity of his injury he knew the cub won't be able to live.
They both were thinking about how to save the cub when they saw a golden ray of light coming from the baby girl and entering the gravely injured cub. The cub purred in satisfaction and his started healing in his naked eyes.
They both were shocked before they had time to think about what happened, the cub opened his eyes and tried to break free from the elderly man's hand.
Seeing him like this the old man immediately put down him on the ground. The wolf cub made his way toward the baby and bowed down in front of her.
After bowing down he looked towards the elderly couple with a determined and pleading look in his eyes while raising his little hairy paw as he was pleading with them to take him with them.
They laughed at his antics and immediately agreed.
The Old man looked towards his wife and said," We will stay far away from here, in the condition we found the injured Cub and abandoned baby there must be something had happened here. So we must protect this baby".
"You are right, we can also avoid those people".
"You don't have to worry about anything I have already found a place where no one can enter easily".The elderly man said.
She nodded her. Both started walking towards the passage as the old lady throw the blood-soaked blanket on the ground near the bloody puddle.
Both of them made their way towards the underground passage hidden within the cave which was not far away from a very old banyan tree.
The passage was hidden behind the largest and thickest tree which was inside the large cave. There were a lot of bushes and rocks around the tree. They made their way towards the passage.
The old man covered their track with bushes and closed the entrance of the passage with large stone.
An eerie silence filled in the whole jungle which was broken by the sound of the car engine.
The mysterious lady from earlier hastily made her way towards the deep in the jungle. As she reached there she found the pink blanket and bloody puddle on the ground. She started laughing madly.
"She died....ha....ha ...ha...ha. I told you old witch I will not this evil live in the world. See even the bones of that scourge are gone. It must have been chewed by some wild animals. Ha...ha......ha....ha".
Her crazy laughter reverberated throughout the forest. She herself doesn't know why she returned to this place. Maybe she wanted to confirm the death of the baby girl with her own eyes or maybe the frightening-looking maid's relieved smile when she died.
After a while with she picked up the blanket as smeared it with blood and made her way out of the woods.
The forest returned to its calm look as if whatever happened earlier was just an illusion.
On the other side, Walking through the forest the Old lady started thinking about the name of her granddaughter.
"What are you thinking about"? The old man asked when he saw his wife deep in her thoughts.
"Her name" She replied.
He thought for a moment and slowly whispered something which was bearly audible but in the silent night, it clearly reached into the ears of the old lady. She also whispered, "Lavender ".
