Sorry for the long wait!

Right now I'll just post the first part of this chapter. I am still writing the rest of it =)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Long ago....

Where Skyscrapers stand now, there used to be a forest...

A majestic waterfall stood behind the trees, creating a beautiful mist that went on for miles.
This place is now called Indigo Bay, and this is the story of it's origins.
This is the story of how this city by the bay became a hot spot for supernatural beings.

It all began with mother nature herself,
who bestowed three young siblings with the power of magic.

Tatiana was the youngest. Only fourteen years old.
She, unlike her siblings, loved to come here and practice her magic for her village. They all relied on them to make their lives better. Tatiana took her job very seriously.

Tatiana: Now If I could only figure out how to create rain clouds instead of bubbles. The farmers would much appreciate it. We would feast every night!
Her siblings, both sixteen, loved to interrupt her.

Remy: Well, well. What is the foolish girl doing today?

Lilith: Attempting to please those farmers again. Ha ha! Your dreadful magic will not help them and their horrid crops. They are peasants after all!
Tatiana: You should not speak like that! Father, was a farmer!
Remy: He was foolish enough to go searching for healing herbs in the mountains and never come back. Just like our dying mother, he was a fool!

Tatiana: How dare you speak of them in that way! I shall tell Gaia about your evil ways. She will take your magic away!
Lillith: There,there little sister. Don't cry now! You know as well as I do, Gaia cannot do that. She foolishly believed Remy and I would use our powers for good. Only you would turn out to be rather boring and use your powers to help those peasants.

Tatiana: Then I will just get stronger and banish you from the village!
Remy: Hah! Such dreams!

Tatiana: You will see!
Suddenly, Lillith pulled out her wand and muttered some sort of spell.


Tatiana: NO!
A small cloud of smoke emitted from the wand.

Tatiana: Huh?

Lillith: Oh dear, I see now that my magic doesn't work on peasants.
The two immediately started to laugh.
Tatiana quickly ran past them.


She ran until she found a small clearing that would hide her from them.


Tatiana: *sob* If only mother and father would see how they were now. *sob* They would punish them and they would have never gotten those powers.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind her. A young man had appeared.


Joseph: My precious Tatiana. Your siblings will pay for the way they treat you. They may be gifted with Gaia's power, but they are still a disgrace to the village.
Tatiana: You are right, but please do not hurt them! I do not believe in violence. I shall talk to Gaia about somehow taking their powers away.

Joseph: Tatiana, you have a pure heart. Gaia was right in giving you powers. You deserve to be our protector. I wish to take your hand in marriage someday. We can watch over this village together.
Tatiana: You are very sweet, Joseph, but I am just too young for marriage. I want to focus on Gaia and the forest for now.

Joseph, obviously ignoring Tatiana, immediately leaned in to kiss her. He continued to kiss her, as she attempted to struggle her way out.

Tatiana: Mmmm! Joseph...stop!

Tatiana: Why must you keep doing this?! I have told you many times, I do not want to marry you!
Joseph: Fine! You are nothing but a peasant anyway! The only reason the villagers praise you is because of your powers! Before that, they saw you as filth! Just like your parents!

Hearing those words, Tatiana immediately burst into tears and ran deeper into the woods.



Cyrus: Letha, over here! Tatiana was the one we heard crying!
Letha: Oh, Tatiana! What happened?

Tatiana: I hate my siblings!

Cyrus: There, there. No need for tears. You know that the village loves you more than them. They cause nothing but trouble. You help us every day.

Letha: One day, you will be in charge. Just realize that you must wait a little longer. Wait until you are strong enough to stop them.

Tatiana suddenly got a brilliant idea and once again ran deeper into the forest.

Tatiana: Follow me!

The two friends waited patiently as Tatiana chanted a spell to summon Gaia.

Gaia: Hello, Tatiana. What have you come here for?

Tatiana: I understand that you cannot give magic to anyone else, but my siblings are taking advantage. They ruin your forest by creating fires and make a mockery of the villagers. Can my friends obtain something from you? So they can protect the forest as well. I cannot do it alone as I am already helping my village the best I could.

Gaia: Unfortunately I cannot take your siblings gifts away. I cherished your parents deeply. It is unfortunate that their oldest son and daughter have taken advantage of their gifts. I hope in the future you and your campanions can change their ways. Letha....Cyrus....step forward.

Gaia: Letha...you shall be the caretaker of the forest....I give you the power to fly among the butterflies, heal the plants that are destroyed, and heal the villagers who are hurt. You will also obtain magic of your own. Use this well.

Gaia: Cyrus.....I shall make you the guardian of the forest. Turning into a wolf-like creature will scare those who bring evil to this forest. You will also have great strength and the power to self heal.

The three friends clapped and jumped in glee. They would finally be able to stop Lillith and Remy from doing more harm.



Present day. It was a few hours after midnight.
Sarah had fallen asleep after a startling confession followed by a kiss.

The two friends were finally honest with each other and both felt happy...for the first time in a while.

......or maybe one girl wasn't very happy at all.

Rika thought she made the right decision that night. However, as she thought about it more and more, she began to realize that the person she had fallen for was in serious danger.

Rika stopped walking for a second.
Recent events racing back and forth through her mind.

She suddenly collapsed.

Her cries muffled in the cold wind...

...as she thought about a lover. A long time ago.....



East coast, 1975.


Man: That was one groovy night. What do you say we go up to my place? I can show you more of my dance moves.

Diane: Charming. Listen, Davey....tonight was fun and all, but I'm just not ready for a relationship.

Diane: You understand, don't cha?
Davey: Mmmmm...you are one foxy mama. How about you spend the night at my place? It might change yer mind.


Davey: AHHHH!!!!! What the.....
*Thud*

Diane: You coulda come a little sooner. This bozo was about to take me to his room.

Rika: I'm sorry, I was just laughing my head off. "Foxy Mama?" Seriously?
Diane: Well what did you expect? I went to the fruitiest joint in town!
Rika: No worries....just get over here!





Diane: Rika. Can I ask you something?
Rika: Go ahead.
Diane: Can you turn me?
Rika:.....Di....I'm sorry, but my answer will always be no.

Diane:...but imagine a lifetime of this? You and me against the world!

Rika: You don't want this life, trust me. It's not always fun and games. There's a reason why it's called a curse.

Diane: I don't care! Besides, what's going to happen when I become older and you stay the same?
Rika: That's a long time from now. Why can't we just have fun for now?
Diane: Alright, but sooner or later you are going to have to tell me why you sometimes get that worried look in your eye.

Rika: Someday....

Rika: I love you, you know that?
Diane: Of course! Why else would you trust me to pick out losers to feed on!





Somewhere deep underground.....

Screams wailed in the distance...almost vibrating off the walls.

One girl sat inside an iron cage. Too scared to look at her surroundings.

Mia: Oh god.....help me....where am I?
Suddenly a dark figure came out of the darkness.

Mia: NO!!!! STAY AWAY!!!!

Demon: Hello.......

Mia: No...no....no
Demon: It is time I show you our origin.

Demon: ......I am the demon within you.

Mia: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
