People are everywhere, dancing, drinking, and flirting. I should be one of those people, this is a new school and I am determined to enjoy it.
We had to leave our last university after a group of hunters found out there was a large supernatural population there. Instead of letting that happen again, our parents sent us somewhere fully human.
Now we are the new kids, but I’m not worried about it. People are naturally drawn to us, it’s part of the supernatural package.
We won’t have a hard time making friends or fitting in if we want to. We really just stick together though, it’s too hard hiding what we are and forming a relationship with humans.
All of us are something different. Usually, races don’t mix like we do but we have been friends since we were born so we never learned the prejudice like everyone else.
There are six main supernatural races and somehow we cover five of them. Light Fae, Dark Fae, Magic Users, Demons, Hunters and my personal favorite Shifters.
We have one of everything except a Hunter, which makes sense considering they literally hunt the rest of us. Even if we did know one, it’s not like we could be friends with them. Plus, they don’t associate with the rest of us. They’re off on their own within a small community.
It’s already abnormal that five of the races formed a friend group as close as us but what’s even stranger is that Kiran, the Dark Fae and Ajax, the Light Fae are twins. They are identical except their powers. Something unheard of before them.
Their mom is a Light Fae while their dad is a Dark Fae, somehow they birthed twins of opposite races. That’s how our parents became friends, they came together to protect the twins.
Mixing Light and Dark was dangerous for their parents but even more so once they were born. Luckily, the shock of it all has faded and it’s rare anyone gives them trouble anymore. Back at our old university with a larger supernatural presence, we got a lot of attention for it. It’ll be nice to not be judged for our friendship or the twins’ powers. Honestly, there’s not that big of a difference between the two fae except how they gain their power.
Light Fae recharge by being around positive emotions and Dark Fae need negative emotions. That doesn’t mean they need to cause the emotion but some fae take on the responsibility anyways. Kiran doesn’t, he’s one of the most fun loving and positive guys I know. He just finds negative emotions that already exist, like a sports team that just lost or people after getting back the results of an exam.
Our parents are friends still, even after the danger has passed. I guess fighting for what you believe in really bonds people together and that bond passed onto us.
Nic is a magic user, Jeremy a demon and I am a wolf shifter.
Currently, my wolf is dying for my attention. He is clawing at me and going crazy trying to get me to notice something in this damn bar. It’s making me antsy since usually we are on the same page about things. Being out of sync with my wolf is tough and not something easy to shake. No matter how much I want to.
I try to use my senses to focus on the room and figure out what my wolf is amped up about. I can smell all different types of alcohol, a nauseating amount of fragrant perfumes, and sweat from all the patrons. I can’t hear anything over the loud, thumping music except my own friends. It’s going to give me a migraine if I don’t tune it all back out soon.
“Since Jay is too distracted to be any fun right now, does someone else want to do shots with me?” Kiran’s voice breaks into my thoughts and brings me back to the present.
He’s right, I am being extremely boring right now. After I gave most of the group a long pep talk about going out, enjoying ourselves and having some fun tonight, I’m being the boring one. Well, I gave everyone but Kiran, who is always up for a good time, a pep talk. He was right there with me encouraging things.
I need to get over whatever is bothering my wolf and focus on having fun with my friends. If it’s important I’ll notice eventually.
“All right, all right, no worriesfairy. I am ready to party, let’s go get some shots.” Kiran and his twin Jax automatically glare at me.
“We are not fairies youdog,” Kiran’s mouth turns up into a smirk as he says dog. I love these guys like they are my brothers but sometimes we bicker too much like brothers for me. That’s what we get for being friends for so long.
“Okay that’s enough. Both of you go get some shots or shut up about it,” Nic half demands while laughing over our quick squabble. Leave it to Nic, or Nicoli, to shut us down before things go too far.
“Alright, who else wants one?” Kiran asks the group.
Nic and Jeremy indicate they want one but Ajax looks unsure.
“Come on Jax, have some fun tonight. Nothing is going to happen,” Kiran convinces his twin.
We head to the bar, order the shots and bring them back to the group. Everyone thanks us and we cheers before knocking them back.
“Cheers to a new school and senior year,” Nic toasts.
We all loosen up after a few drinks and it seems like we are all starting to enjoy our nights. Well, except for Jer, who always looks like he’s miserable. I think it’s part of being a demon.
Kiran is looking around the bar, probably trying to spot a girl to hit on. Ajax looks like he’s trying to ignore Kiran who is trying to pull him into the search. Probably hoping to entice Jax but we all know that’s a lost cause.
Nic and I are hanging out just observing it all.
“Twenty bucks says Kiran is about to drag you back to the bar but ditches you for a girl before you get back.”
