Fight By My Side
A Place To Call My Home
The war started ten years ago, all because of some stupid Rogue Shifter named Aaron Wild. He was born with a great and terrible power. Well, some of us were as well, but he was just plain insane with a lust for power over the Usuals.
My name is Wynter and was born with the Gift, just like Aaron.
I'll give you a little background knowledge before we jump into this story. The year is 2080, and society has hit a bit of a low. I live just outside the Barrier, a giant cement wall with two ways in and out. It surrounds the city, the market, and most places of business and even the Guardian center. We'll get to that in a second.
I live in the Range, just outside the the Barrier. Most people, except for the high officials and Guardians, lived in the Range. I lived in a nice part of the Range, well I used to be there. Now I run the Shadow's Sanctuary, out in a more secluded part of the Range. Most houses are clustered near the Barrier, but the Sanctuary is in a more 'rural' area.
Now that you know where I live, I might as well tell you what I am. Don't be afraid, despite what you've seen, read, or heard, I beg you to keep listening to my story.
I was born with the Gift, the ability to Shapeshift into an animal form. We're called the Shapeshifters, for the obvious reasons. The thing is, people born with the Gift are random, there aren't always specific patterns. You might be more likely to be a Shifter if you were born from two Shifter parents, but other than that it was random. One kid I know is a Shifter from six generations of Usuals. Usuals are the people who don't have the Gift.
But his story comes later.
I'm a Wolf Shifter. If you see a black and silver wolf wandering around, please don't call the Guardians. I'd appreciate being able to live for another day! I guess you'd like to know about these Guardians now, wouldn't you?
Here's a quick history lesson: Aaron Wild (A Jaguar Shifter) went Rogue ten years ago. He amassed a group of followers bent on dominating all Usuals, showing them that the Shifters were in control. He slaughtered about five thousand people before the Guardians were created. The Guardians are people who willingly join the cause to fight against and destroy anyone with the Gift. They were once normal humans, like you and not me, but then they went through training and got a special chip put into their brain. Now they can run faster, leap higher, and punch harder than normal humans.
Basically they're the equivalent of a superhero minus the ability to fly or shoot lasers. They're working on it. So those are the Guardians. Aaron hasn't been spotted in a while (no Jag pun intended...) so the rate of the number of Guardians as stopped increasing, but that doesn't stop them from hunting us.
Back to the Gifted, something you might want to know if that some people don't realize they're with the Gift and that they're a Shapeshifter until later in life. For some, like me, I found out early. My parents were Shifters and they helped me figure out mine pretty quickly. My parents taught me well on how to control my powers, how to disguise what I am, and how to destroy a Guardian.
Some people, like another one of my friends didn't realize until he joined the Guardians...but that's a whole other story.
So you might be a Shifter and just don't know it, you might be living next to one. Who knows!
Thanks for reading through this, now let me start out with my story....
