Chicago, 2003
[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]The lights, the music, the dancing! Theaters and excitement flash in every direction on every street. The night life was the life. And it didn't just attract the normal party goers, either. Slowly leaking in and out the innermost parts of the grand city were The Immortals.
Immortals: Vampires, Werewolves, Elves, and Mermaids. All living among the humans. All enjoying the perks of a large city, just like we would.
In 1978, twenty-five years after the Great War started, (as it would come to be known as among those who know of it), a peace treaty was formed within the four Immortal peoples. This finally brought the twenty-five year war to an end. The Vampire's Dusk Lady, their ruler, stated that she would not let her Coven attack anyone who was not causing harm in their territory, as long as they others were to do the same. The other rulers agreed. As far as land went, the set up caused a long debate. In the end, the Vampires got Northern Territory, Werewolves the South. Elves lost almost all their land and were tossed to a small corner in the South-East. The Mermaids were granted all waterways and bodies in and out of Chicago.
Those Peace-treaties still hold, today in Chicago, 2003. The boundaries remain the same. While fighting is not unheard of, there is no war to speak of. At the moment.
But trouble is stirring in the Chicago area. And not the good kind, either. Immortals are missing and some are even showing up dead. Since the last week in April, Vampires, Werewolves, Elves, and Mermaids alike are vanishing under everyone's very sensitive noses. The leaders of each of the races aren't quite sure what is going on. Someone is hunting their people. Someone who has the power to take down an unstoppable race of persons. While there is some evidence of human involvement, is it really possible for such a weak people to stand against ever-living beings...?
What no Immortal is aware of is that there is a group of people, humans, that have rallied together to try and exterminate all Immortals. Their leader, Benjamin Culkin, posses the Immortal Eye: the sight to be able to identify Vampire, Werewolf, or otherwise. Ever since his sister died and he almost completely blinded in his right eye from an Immortal attack, he has been hateful and out to get his revenge. With a growing group of followers, including his orphaned niece, Benjamin is slowly but surely getting towards his goal.
I wonder what will happen
when all the lights go out.
