The Birth of a New Race

Nowadays vampires and werewolves were no longer a threat for humanity. People have learnt about their abilities and found cures to suppress them. Vampires and werewolves were now kept in control by military, and they had to abide by human laws. They had chips implanted so military could control each and ever move of them if they wanted. But that wasn't too bad after all. People were only humans and treated them with respect. Or so l thought. They tried to integrate them into human world as much as they could. The only thing that wasn't allowed was to procreate, to give birth to puppies or to transform. Now that was cruel. Even if they treated us with respect, it wasn't their call to decide our fate. They wanted to steal our abilities, to create their perfect world, to create the perfect soldiers and eventually destroy us. That was their ultimate goal. Under the pretext of peace, they researched using our blood and making experiments on the weaker ones. Many have stopped fighting for their race and tried to convince the others to give up. It was easier to just have everything without a fight. At the beginning, when people have learnt about our existence, they used to drive the vans around the cities and shout through their huge speakers and inform the people about us, how they can spot us and what they can do to keep themselves safe from us. They thought we are savages. And the worst part was that we had to live together. Just image vampires and werewolves living together in the same house. But because of the medication they had given to that was possible. Some of them which were smarter got to live by themselves, no mix race. Some of them worked in bio research and they were convinced into helping, convinced into cohabitation and no harm policies for the future. They gave up everything in exchange for a little more freedom. So my parents were too. That was more than 10 years ago when that happened. We were werewolves. To be honest I only saw them only once in their wolf form. Mom and dad gave up and decided to help the humans for a better future. I was one of the luckiest ones to go to school with humans, to integrate better. I had to take suppression pills every day, to reduce my instincts, to be more human. And it really worked. I never transformed nor felt my wolf within me. Even the school passed smooth. I still felt that it was a little difficult for humans to befriend me. And now, at 20, I was a loner. I didn't have any true friends. I felt sad. I started to wonder how our society would look like without human laws. Would that be possible ever again? It wasn't only about us submitting to the humans, it was also about females submitting to the male population according to the human society. I mean us as females worked harder for the same money, some jobs were meant only for males, and we had to do all the house chores too. I thought is unfair. But that was just my thoughts. My parents used to travel a lot and decided to settle there before I was born. Even if they appeared to abide by the laws, my father never treated my mother differently. They were as one and always split the responsibilities. After I finished school, I found a job in the local supermarket. It involved lifting and stocking shelves. That was easy for me as I still had a lot of strength compared to the humans. My life was monotonous. Work and home time in the afternoon. Nothing else. Sometimes I used to walk in the local work during the weekends when I was off from work. But that was pretty much all. Sometimes I felt miserable and depressed not being able to have a boyfriend. But that was life. I had to learn to live my life as it is as I will never be able to have a family of my own or kids due to stupid human laws. It was Sunday morning when I decided to visit the National History Museum. It was only one hour away from my home if I had to take the bus. I needed a change, a distraction of my routine. I never liked history in school, but I needed to get out of my comfort zone somehow. By doing something I usually don't do would fit perfectly with my mood. I put on some loose trousers, a hoodie, and snickers. I tied my hair in a messy bun and headed outside. The weather forecast wasn't that bad but looking at the skies I instantly knew that is going to rain. I sigh and walk further not bothered by that as it was summertime and quite hot for that month. I took the bus, and it was a little strange in my opinion. There were only humans. I had the impression that they all are looking at me. But every time I looked up and they were busy chatting with each other or caught up in their phones. Or maybe it was just my imagination? I wasn't sure of anything anymore. Probably because I am a loner, I have this feeling that I'm watched all the time. Anyway...it was somewhere noon time when I got to the museum and checked my wristwatch. Since it was Sunday, I only had three hours left to visit until they were closing. That was plenty of time. I took a leaflet with the museum's map and walked forward into the building. That was a huge and old building. I was impressed by its display. It was like going back in time, armor hanging on the walls from different ages. Plenty of information about different kings and queens, warriors and so on. But only about humans. They never thought about our history, about our past. It was an interesting display of furniture, weapons, paintings, clothes, and armor. All of them according to their era. I checked the leaflet again and there were some conventions scheduled through the day. "If I'd hurry a bit, I will catch the last one"... I thought to myself. I took a sip of water and checked for directions. It was on the same floor. I've got to the conference room just in time for the beginning. I walked inside and sat down on the last row of chairs as it was empty. That was convenient for me as I didn't want to socialize with anybody. The professor looked at me intently and that made me sink into the chair, not wanting to be noticed.There was something about her which I couldn't decipher. It was a weird feeling, something inside me was telling me to run away but I didn't know why. I decided to ignore my feelings. What the hell could happen more than happened until now? it can't be worse than already is. Anyway, after about half an hour I decided to leave as it was too boring. To be honest I thought is going to be more interesting but stating the facts in historical order proved to be uninteresting and boring once again. As I was about to close the door behind me, I hear once again the professor's voice. She was talking louder than usual. That made me turn my head towards her again. I don't know why but what caught my eyes were the images displayed all over the projection screen. There was something about that person. His eyes were pouring coldness and cruelty but at the same time I was drown by them. The only word I could hear was his name and all the sudden everything was blurry around me. I had to run away from there and fast.
