APOCALYPSE

7000 years ago, the vampire Coven and lycan pack were led by two brothers, Walter and Falcon. Despite their differences, they shared the same space. Then, a prophecy emerged, foretelling the rise of a hybrid born from a vampire and a human mother, carrying the blood of a lycan. This hybrid would possess unparalleled powers and abilities, leading to a blood war that would mark the end of the ages.

The arrival of this prophecy created chaos between the two brothers. It worsened when a new species of vampires, known as hunters, emerged. Unlike regular vampires, hunters could withstand sunlight, consume any food, and mate with anyone. Walter became a hunter after developing these signs, and Falcon grew fearful of his brother's potential role in fulfilling the prophecy. Consumed by fear of his own defeat, Falcon decided to eliminate all the hunters to prevent the prophecy from coming true. He waged a rebellion and killed all the hunters, except for Walter, who managed to escape. In response, the vampires fought back and banished the Lycans into exile.

Years later, Raymond entered a room where his pregnant human partner, Vanessa, peacefully slept. As a vampire hunter, their bond was unbreakable, and it allowed Vanessa to carry their child. After briefly cherishing the moment, Raymond put on his jacket and left the house.

At the Vampire Coven, Raymond entered through a large gate. Craven expressed concerns about Raymond's risks, emphasizing that just because he was a hunter who could mate with humans did not mean it was wise to do so. Raymond dismissed the concerns, teasing Craven about his worry over Vanessa. However, Craven proceeded to inform Raymond that the Lycans had become more powerful and were likely to do anything to prevent the fulfillment of the prophecy. Recognizing the potential danger, Raymond vowed to be cautious and asserted that if the Lycans sought trouble, he would give it to them.

Back at Vanessa's apartment, her younger sister, Charlotte, surprised her with a visit. As they chatted and laughed, Raymond entered the room. After exchanging pleasantries, Raymond whispered to Vanessa that he needed to rest, and she agreed. Vanessa then showed Charlotte to the guest room.

As Vanessa peacefully slept, Raymond anxiously paced in a forest, awaiting the arrival of the Lycans. With vampires backing him up, Raymond intended to negotiate with the Lycans. When they arrived, tensions rose as the Lycans surrounded the vampires. Raymond, seeking an agreement, demanded to speak to the Alpha. Marcus, the Alpha, sarcastically inquired about why Raymond, a hunter, had invited him.

Raymond introduced himself as the leader of the vampire clan and proposed an agreement: the vampires would offer a portion of their land in exchange for the safety of humans. Marcus questioned Raymond's motives and compassion for humans. Raymond, not willing to discuss his reasons, pressed for an agreement. Eventually, Marcus agreed to the terms, impressed by Raymond's resolve.

Before departing, Marcus questioned Raymond's motives in protecting humans and his involvement in preventing the prophecy. Craven, unable to keep silent, revealed that Marcus was aware of the prophecy. Raymond directed a glare at Craven, warning him to stay silent. Marcus dismissed Raymond's threat and transformed into a wolf, along with his pack, before running off.

Impressed by Marcus's audacity, Craven whispered to Raymond, who threatened to silence him if he spoke out of turn again. Raymond then walked away with the vampires following closely behind.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Vanessa awoke with a yawn and stretched her hands. Raymond was nowhere to be found, so she assumed he had gone out for something important. With her baby bump, she carefully made her way downstairs when the sound of shattering glass caught her attention.

"Charlotte!" she called out cautiously, slowly descending the stairs. As she reached the bottom, she was met with the sight of Charlotte lying in a pool of blood.

"Oh my God!" she gasped, frantically looking around. Her eyes landed on a peculiar, hairy creature wreaking havoc in the library. It was larger than any land animal she had ever seen.

"Oh no!" She muttered, slowly moving backward. In her retreat, she accidentally knocked over a vase, capturing the attention of the creature.

"Help!!" she shouted, sprinting up the stairs as the creature chased closely behind.

VAMPIRE'S COVEN

Raymond sat quietly, immersed in his book, when his door violently swung open. Startled, he looked up to find Nina standing before him. Acting quickly, he placed a dagger against her neck, keeping her at bay.

"My Lord, it's me, Nina," she panicked.

"Nina, a little respect for my door, don't you think?" Raymond chided.

"My Lord, I apologize, but the message I bring is of great importance."

"What happens if this message fails to please my ears?" Raymond inquired.

"Feel free to cut off my head, my Lord," she trembled.

"Speak," he commanded.

"The Lycans have launched an attack on the humans, seizing their land and devouring them in the process. They have since departed, but the damage is extensive," Nina revealed.

Raymond's eyes flashed with anger as he looked out the window. "How dare they?!" He roared furiously, storming out of the room and dropping the dagger on the ground, causing Nina to exhale in relief.

The streets lay deserted and empty. People had abandoned the city, with lifeless bodies now littering the ground. These unfortunate souls had been bitten by the Lycans and were bound to transform into one themselves. Raymond took it upon himself to gather these bodies and set them ablaze before continuing his survey.

Stopping before Vanessa's apartment, he stared at it intently. The doors were left ajar, attracting the attention of police officers who surrounded the area. Lighting a cigar, Raymond was approached by a police officer.

"Excuse me, this is a private investigation," the officer informed him.

Raymond glanced ahead, spotting a lifeless body on the ground. "Where is the lady of this residence?" he inquired.

"How are you connected to the occupants?" the officer probed.

"She is my wife, Vanessa," Raymond replied.

"We have identified this body as Charlotte Dickinson. Her sister, Vanessa Dickinson, is in the hospital," the officer informed him.

Raymond sighed heavily. "This was no animal attack," he interrupted.

"I beg your pardon, sir?" the officer questioned.

"Burn her body. She's useless," Raymond coldly declared.

"What did you just say?" the officer asked, taken aback.

Raymond scoffed. "Humans," he whispered disdainfully, flicking his cigar towards the body, setting it ablaze. The police officers began to panic and scream as Raymond walked away.

"Holy... Freeze!" the officer shouted, but Raymond had vanished into thin air. The officer rushed out, only to find heaps of bodies engulfed in flames.

"Screw it," the officer muttered.

Arriving at the hospital, Raymond was met with a chaotic scene. Injured and bitten individuals clamored for medical attention, but the doctors were unable to help everyone.

"Vanessa Dickinson," Raymond requested.

The nurse pointed him in the right direction. "This way, please."

"Doctor, this is Mr. Raymond, the husband of Vanessa Dickinson," the nurse announced as they entered the room.

The doctor assured Raymond about his wife's condition. "Your wife will be fine. Please wait here," he said before engaging in conversation with someone else. Raymond peered through the glass window, observing Vanessa's writhing form on the bed. He narrowed his eyes at the doctor, suspicious of his intentions, before quietly approaching Vanessa's bedside.

"Ray," Vanessa called out weakly, struggling to breathe.

"Shhh, I'm right here," Raymond reassured her.

"I saw it. It was an animal. It killed Charlotte, it..." Vanessa trailed off.

The doctor entered the room and paused upon seeing Raymond. "I thought I saw you standing outside. How did you get in here?"

"The door," Raymond curtly replied.

"Please leave," the doctor ordered.

Raymond glanced at Vanessa again and noticed fang marks on her neck. "She's been bitten," he stated.

"Leave, please," the doctor insisted, leading Raymond out of the room.

Raymond stood outside as Vanessa cried out in pain during labor. A Lycan had bitten her, yet she still carried his child. Raymond smiled inwardly, knowing that someone was helping him fulfill the prophecy. Some time later, the doctor emerged from the room.

"Congratulations, you have a son," the doctor announced.

"How is Vanessa?" Raymond inquired.

"We did our best," the doctor replied solemnly.

"It's not enough," Raymond declared.

"You can find comfort in your son," the doctor suggested.

Raymond glared at the doctor. "You don't deserve this title," he whispered, seizing the doctor by the neck and hoisting him off the ground.

"Please," the doctor pleaded.

Raymond threw him against a glass window, shattering it, before watching the doctor's body fall out of the building. A young man had witnessed the gruesome act and knelt before Raymond, who was certain he had been caught in the act.

"Please," the man begged.

Raymond smiled, taking deliberate steps toward him, his shoes echoing through the quiet space. "What is your name?" Raymond inquired.

"James," the man quivered.

"Take care of him," Raymond's voice echoed. "Or else," he added, extending his hand towards the room where the man's wife lay.

"Please, don't. I'll take care of him," James pleaded.

Raymond gazed at the quietly sleeping baby boy in the room. "You're going to be the cause of another war. I hope you are prepared for it," he mused, before lifting Vanessa's body and vanishing.

SEVEN YEARS LATER

"My Lord," a man called, bowing down before Marcus.

"Speak," Marcus commanded.

"While hunting today, we detected a peculiar scent," the man informed him.

"What scent?" Marcus inquired.

"It's a scent we haven't encountered in years. I believe it belongs to a hybrid among the humans, the same hybrid mentioned in the prophecy," the man explained.

"A hybrid? That can't be possible," Marcus asserted.

"We wouldn't fabricate information, my Lord. A hybrid with immense power has emerged, and his blood holds the key to a potent mutation for both vampires and Lycans. If the vampires get hold of him first, they could use him against us," the man warned.

"Find him and bring him to me. After all these years, the prophecy shall finally be fulfilled! Send out our best hunters to retrieve him!" Marcus commanded.

She was gagged and blindfolded. It was time to lead Leah out. Leah was one of the guests who had traveled from afar to meet with Raymond. The Lycans had been attacking relentlessly since Raymond ventured into their territory, exacting revenge for Vanessa's death. Rumors of a son circulated, but nobody knew his identity or spoke much about him.

A howling sound interrupted their movements. It was time to fight for survival. Guards removed their blindfolds.

Vanilla cautiously surveyed her surroundings, taking note of where her mother and brother were standing. They were prisoners, being used as leverage for the Lord and higher vampires. Her father had betrayed their coven and was now sentenced to death, resulting in their own imprisonment.

Suddenly, a Lycan lunged at one of the prisoners, causing bone-chilling screams to pierce the air.

"Protect Lady Leah!" a man shouted.

Vanilla drew a small dagger from her side and rushed toward her brother. A Lycan pounced on her, but she managed to grab its claws. Just as it opened its jaws to bite her, Nathan sprang onto its back, striking its spine with force. As it turned to retaliate against Nathan, Vanilla swiftly broke its neck.

"Nathan!" she called out, and they hurried over to their mother. However, a Lycan seized her, sinking its teeth into her vulnerable body.

Vanilla leaped onto the creature, landing blow after blow until she found an opportune moment to slice its neck, ending its life.

"She's fast," Craven commented as he observed the battle from the sidelines, accompanied by a vampire named Luther.

"That's because she's a hunter," Luther replied.

"Bring her to Raymond!" Craven commanded.

Nathan carefully laid their injured mother down on the ground.

"She's wounded, what should we do?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.

"We have to clean her wounds," Vanilla replied.

"But they won't listen to us," Nathan protested.

"I'll make them listen," Vanilla said determinedly before walking away.

As Vanilla made her way through the passage, two figures suddenly appeared behind her, covering her face with a cloth.

When the cloth was finally removed, Vanilla found herself kneeling before Raymond.

"Raymond, I've heard so much about you. What do you want from me now?" she asked with a hint of sarcasm, trying to hide her unease.

Raymond smirked, knowing the effect he had on her. "Vanilla, I'm impressed by your skills as a hunter, something we are in great need of."

Vanilla scoffed, annoyed by Raymond's compliments. She knew there must be a reason he was seeking her out, especially after his human lover's death.

"So, what mighty task does the almighty Raymond have for a lowly prisoner like me?" she inquired, her voice filled with skepticism.

Raymond's smile widened. "It has come to my attention that the Lycans have targeted someone dear to me. This person possesses a unique bloodline that holds the key to a powerful mutation in both vampires and Lycans. Who wouldn't want such power?"

Vanilla raised an eyebrow. "And you think I can help with this? What's in it for me?"

Raymond chuckled. "A fair question. In exchange for your services, I will grant your family their freedom."

"You mean it?" Vanilla asked, her voice tinged with hope.

"Absolutely. But time is of the essence. The Lycans are closing in on him, so you must act quickly. I will provide you with the necessary resources and protection, but I expect him to be delivered to me unharmed. Remember, he is my son, so don't do anything foolish."

Vanilla thought for a moment before responding, "Very well. I'll do it, but make sure you keep your end of the deal."

Raymond smiled slyly. "I always keep my promises. Prepare yourself, for you will be leaving soon. The mission requires precision and there is no room for mistakes."

"Rest assured, I never make mistakes," Vanilla replied confidently.

Centuries ago, the Vampire coven led by Walter and Werewolf pack led by Falcon engaged in a war for survival and territory. This blood war went undocumented in history due to their hidden existence. The conflict persisted until Falcon's defeat, leading him to exile. The vampires claimed dominion over the land and thrived, eventually integrating themselves into human society.

"Boom!" Aaron yelled, startling Andrew.

"What now, Aaron?" their teacher asked.

"Apologies, Miss. Andrew always seems lost whenever you teach this topic," he said, causing the class to erupt in laughter.

"That's because he's actually listening and concentrating, unlike you," she scolded him, and he scoffed. "Oh."

"Maybe he's afraid a lycan might jump into our class!" a student joked, prompting more laughter.

"Hey! Nate's a vampire!" Aaron shouted, causing the room to burst into laughter, with some students even fleeing their seats as Nate approached, playfully baring his teeth.

"Class dismissed," the teacher announced, making her way to the exit.

"Wait, Miss Felicia, is it true that this city was once attacked by wolves?" asked a student.

"Wolves? I'd love to meet one," Aaron joked.

"That was a long time ago, and rest assured, it won't happen again. We have security measures in place to prevent any kind of animal attack. Class is over!" She declared, walking out.

Andrew closed his book, and as he did, Kaylee approached him.

"Hi," she said.

"Oh, Kaylee, hi," he greeted, picking up his bag.

"Don't listen to Aaron. He's a jerk," she reassured him.

Andrew laughed. "I agree."

"Do you mind walking with me? I could use some company," she asked.

"Sure," he replied.

The two of them walked down the road in silence before Kaylee broke it. "So, you'll be joining your father on the farm, right?" she inquired.

"Yeah, Bethany will be back from school by then," he answered.

"It's hard to believe that this city was once attacked by wolves, that they invaded and killed many people," she remarked.

"That was a long time ago," Andrew said.

"Yeah. Do you think it could happen again?" she asked.

"Well, I hope not," he replied, and she smiled.

"Let's forget about all this wolf stuff."

"I totally agree," he responded. Kaylee searched her bag and pulled out an invitation card.

"Oh, my parents are hosting a small get-together at our house tomorrow, and I'd like to invite you as my guest," she said.

"That's a wonderful offer. I won't miss it," he accepted.

"Alright, I'm leaving now," she said, walking away.

"Bye," Andrew bid her farewell, and she stopped. She walked back to him and kissed his cheek.

"Bye," she whispered, blushing.

"Kaylee isn't that pretty," Bethany argued as Andrew entered the house late for dinner.

"She's not ugly either," Andrew replied.

"Whatever, you're too good for her."

"I'm just a farmer's son, a farm boy. Kaylee's parents are rich. How good am I?" he wondered.

"Forget about her. What about Iris? She's hot," Bethany suggested.

"Bethany, stop," Andrew reprimanded.

James walked out carrying two plates of food. "Let me guess, Bethany is picking your next date," he remarked.

"Exactly," Andrew confirmed.

"But Dad, Kaylee isn't that great," Bethany protested.

"She's not bad either, and since your brother likes her, you should give her a chance," James reasoned.

"Not in this lifetime. Hey Dad, my teacher mentioned something about a man being attacked by animals," Bethany shared.

"Why would she say that?" James inquired, sitting down.

"Well, there have been reports of numerous deaths due to animal attacks," Bethany added.

"Animal attacks?" Andrew questioned.

"Yes," Bethany affirmed.

"Sometimes your teacher needs to keep quiet," James commented.

"Let's check the news," Bethany suggested, rushing to turn on the TV.

"Don't watch anything that'll give you sleepless nights. I won't let you stay in my room," Andrew advised.

"Whatever. Dad will let me," she grinned before turning on the TV.

"Breaking news: A man has been found dead on his farm. Nearby villagers claim to have heard his screams but were too afraid to come out. Based on the scratches on his face and body, it appears he was attacked by a wild animal. The incident occurred yesterday evening at around five in the..." James turned off the TV.

"That's scary," he commented.

"Yeah, a supposed animal attack," Bethany scoffed.

"Both of you shouldn't be watching this," James scolded. "Andrew, are you alright?" he asked, noticing his son's silence.

"Yeah, just a little scared," Andrew confessed.

"Scared?" Bethany teased. "You're a man, and you're...".

"Argh!" someone shouted from outside.

"Get down!" James whispered, and both Andrew and Bethany dropped to the floor.

"What's happening, Dad?" Bethany whispered, frightened.

"Stay down," he whispered back, slowly moving towards the window. As he looked outside, he saw sharp claws scratching against the glass.

"Dad!" Andrew shouted.

"Run!" James yelled, accidentally tripping over a table.

"Dad!" Bethany panicked.

"Move!" James urged sternly, running after them. They entered a room, and James shut the door behind them. "Under the bed, now!" he commanded, and both Andrew and Bethany crawled under the bed. James took a deep breath as he stared at the door, which remained unyielding.

Bethany's eyes followed his gaze, noticing his intentions. "Dad, don't go," she pleaded.

"Don't worry, I'll be okay. Stay here," he reassured her, smiling before he walked out of the room.

"Dad..." Bethany sniffled.

"Stay quiet, Bethany. Dad will be fine," Andrew comforted her.

Both stayed silently under the bed, the only sound being Bethany's weeping and sniffles. The noises from outside suddenly ceased. A loud scream reverberated through the house, prompting Bethany to crawl out from under the bed. "Bethany, wait!" Andrew shouted, grabbing her leg before she reached the door. "Dad... Dad... let go, Andrew!" she sobbed.

"Come back!" he yelled, desperately trying to pull her back. Suddenly, there was a forceful impact on their window. Both siblings turned their attention towards it.

"Andrew, the window!" Bethany stuttered. Andrew pulled Bethany's leg, pulling her back as the window shattered, with shards falling to the ground. Sharp claws landed on the floor, and Andrew clamped his hand over Bethany's mouth to prevent any noise. The creature prowled around the room, causing chaos wherever it went. Bethany tightly closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. Suddenly, it halted, catching Andrew's attention. It began sniffing the air, gradually moving closer to their hiding spot. It stopped abruptly next to the bed and let out a howl. Andrew remained calm while Bethany covered her ears, her hands trembling. The creature raised its claws, ready to tear apart the bed, but a gust of cold air entered the room. Andrew turned towards the broken window, noticing someone entering and forcefully pinning the creature against the wall. His face brightened with surprise as he watched the mysterious woman handle the beast. He slowly released Bethany, who was reluctant to leave the bedside, and crawled out. With dark hair floating in the breeze and eyes as blue as the ocean, the lady turned to Andrew, wearing a stern expression. He felt grateful to see her clearly, admiring her exceptional beauty. She turned away from him, thrusting her fingers into the wolf's body, causing it to howl before she extracted its heart. She released the creature, watching it crumple lifelessly to the ground.

"Andrew!" Bethany called from under the bed, and he hurriedly turned to her as she slowly crawled out. When he looked back, however, the girl had vanished.
