His weakness

Waking up to another day in this city was the last thing a normal human being would wish for. But then again, you could say I wasn’t normal. I would wake up every single day if it meant I got to see my family again. Mador was once a city full of life. Its streets were always blooming with flowers, people laughed as they went about their businesses, children played outside, and everyone lived peacefully. We had everything. Until they decided to make themselves known. “Brie!” My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my mother’s voice. I sighed and pulled the blanket higher over my head, pretending I hadn’t heard her. “Brie! Get your ass off that bed and come downstairs for breakfast. Now!” I remained quiet. Maybe if I stayed still long enough, she’d give up. Twenty minutes later, my bedroom door flew open. My mother stood in the doorway, her hands resting firmly on her hips. “God help me, Brie. If I don’t see you downstairs in two minutes…” She didn’t finish the sentence. She didn’t have to. I knew that look. She turned around and walked away. I immediately got out of bed. Honestly, I didn’t want to find out what would happen if she came back a second time. When I got downstairs, everyone was already seated around the dining table. “Good morning, Dad.” I leaned down and kissed his cheek. “Good morning, princess. How are you?” “Good.” I smiled and took the empty seat beside my younger sister. Mom said the prayer, and we began eating. Ever since the creatures came, Mom had made it a tradition that we all had breakfast and dinner together. She always said it was to strengthen our family bond. But I knew the real reason. She was scared. Scared of the unknown. Scared because none of us knew who would be next. Dad never showed his fear. He was always smiling, always making jokes, always trying to make us feel safe. But I knew him. I knew he was scared too. I mean… Why wouldn’t he be? My name is Brie, I am twenty years old, and I live in Mador with my parents and my three siblings. Mador is a city in South America, surrounded by beautiful trees and overflowing with life,Maybe that’s why they chose us, They came and drained the life out of our city. They took away our happiness. Our peace. And they took my brother. I watched him die right in front of my eyes. It happened during the Full Moon Hunt. He died saving me from one of them. No one tried to stop them. How could they? The creatures were in power. Everyone feared them. Because they weren’t human. They were werewolves. And in Mador, werewolves ruled everything.
