Chapter 1: Hereditary Gifts, and Invited to a high school for monsters

Have you ever been told about the things that go bump in the night? Maybe you’ve just told ghost stories between friends, or you’ve heard local legends. Well depending on what you’ve heard, or what you’ve seen, you probably believe the supernatural is fiction. I hate to say it, but you’re wrong. How do I know you ask, because I’m one of the supernatural, a chimera to be precise, though I was originally a human, it’s kind of a long story that goes back to my high school days. Oh you want to hear it? Alright well it starts about oh, nine years ago.

It started with my friend Alexis and I. Alexis was a fur, and I was a human. She was a cat with blue eyes, black fur, white hands and foot paws, and a white tail tip and ear tips. She also had dark blue hair that fell to her shoulders, and stood about five feet even, while I however stood about five foot ten. I had dirty blonde hair, grey eyes the occasionally changed color, tan skin, and a slim frame. I wore a black t shirt, a red hoodie that was unzipped, blue jeans that were sometimes replaced by shorts, and black and red sneakers that were rather worn. The day in question started out pretty normally for the two of us. Alexis was over at my place playing videogames while I was laying on my bed reading.

She looked up from her game and asked me “You hear about the new school opening up on the edge of town?” I shook my head in the negative and she said “It’s pretty cool; supposedly it’s a school that allows exotics. It’s supposed to allow furs, humans, and even creatures of myth.” I raised an eyebrow at the creatures of myths part and held up my book then pointed at the dragon the cover questioningly. She smiled and said “Yes like you’re dragons. Though we both know those aren’t really myths. Especially with fur dragons and what not walking around every day. Speaking of myths, what about your girlfriend?” I threw my book at her grumbling and she laughed catching it with her tail then said “I deserved that one, but seriously what about you getting a girlfriend?”

I shrugged and said “Life’s hard enough without searching for a date. Why, you offering?” She smirked and I said “Oh right I can’t handle all of you. You always say that but I ain’t seen what there is to handle yet.” She swatted me with her tail and I said “I know I know, proper English. Ain’t, isn’t proper English so you won’t let it slide.” She nodded and I yawned then said “So what’s the plan for the day? Are we meeting up with any of the others or you hogging me all to yourself?”

She shrugged and said “I was thinking about keeping you all to myself honestly, why you want to hang out with the others?” I shrugged. She stared at me and asked “Do you care about anything?” I nodded yawning and she said “Like what?” I smirked and she said “I don’t know what you’re planning but don’t do anything rash.” I snorted and waved her off then picked my book back up and went back to reading while she switched consoles and started playing a different game.

I looked up as her phone started ringing and she said “Oh it’s Richie. Want me to tell him to come over?” I shrugged and motioned for her to decide putting my book away and plopping down on the floor next to her nuzzling her ears. She shivered and swatted me. I smirked and sucked on her ear’s tip causing her to meow in surprise and push me away. I chuckled and she said “Not cool. Not cool at all. You know how sensitive my ears are, why would you suck on one of them when you know just how bad I react to my ears being messed with.”

I smirked and said “Because your reactions are so fun.” She glared and I said “Go ahead and talk to Rich. I’m going to go start on lunch.” She nodded and called Richie back while I walked to the kitchen to cook. I stretched as I got into the kitchen then blinked as I saw my roommate Meir sitting at the table working on a history essay. I raised an eyebrow and asked “Getting an early start on the year or finishing up something from last year?”

She looked up and smiled at me then said “I’m working on the last of my summer homework. Even if we’re going to a new school, I figure the essay will transfer over.” I nodded in agreement and pulled out some salmon, steak, stuff for salad, and potatoes. She looked at me and asked “Want some help?” I shrugged and stretched then started peeling a cucumber, putting the potatoes and steak back. She studied me and said “So you’re making salad, and salmon?” I nodded and she said “Lunch for you and your friends?”

I nodded and said “You too if you want.” Meir studied me and I studied her in return. Meir was a six foot tall anthro tiger with blue and white stripes rather than orange and black. I didn’t know if she dyed her fur or it was natural though I’d never caught her using any kind of dyes so I was more leaning toward natural. She purred slightly at the thought of fish, which was something most feline furs enjoyed and I said “I have enough salmon for six people and it’ll go bad if it’s not used in the next two or three days.” She smiled and nodded saying yes she’d enjoy some salmon. I nodded back and started shredding the head of lettuce, chopping up the cucumbers, and slicing the tomatoes.

Alexis walked in and said “Hope you’re making enough for a horse, a tiger, a cat, you, and an eagle.” I thought to myself “The horse is Richie’s sister Samantha, Meir is the tiger, Alexis is the cat, I’m human, and Richie is the eagle. It’s kind of weird how his dad’s a human, his mom an eagle fur, and his sister’s mom a mare. Ah well.” I sighed and she saw that I was still making salad and swiped a cucumber slice then said “How you been Meir, it seems like you’re never home anymore.” Meir laughed and Alexis smiled then said “I know you’re probably thinking that I’m one to talk when I avoid my own home like the plague and instead spend all my time with our Hume friend Jake.”

I snorted and said “Yes, yes, just like how we humans call you anthropomorphics, furs, you call us humans Humes. It’s not derogatory in meaning or in connotation, but I’d like it if you didn’t call me that. I much prefer human or furless one.” They both giggled at that as I started tossing the salad and frying the salmon. I had one filet for each of us, skin side down to get it crispy, and had tossed the salad till I was sure it was mixed to my contentment. The girls watched me and sighed dreamily. I snorted and said “No reason to sigh just because I can somewhat cook. I prefer grilling to actually cooking a full course meal.”

They chuckled and said “We understand Jake. You act more like a carnivore than the omnivore your species is supposed to be. I mean you eat a lot of salad and fruit when you remember to, but you prefer to cook meat, eat meat, and even have fangs.” I flicked my tongue over my slightly elongated canines and shrugged as I heard the door ring. Alexis said “I’ll get it,” walking to the door and answering it. Meir went back to her essay and I went back to cooking as I heard her say “Hey Sam, Hey Richie.” The three of them walked in and I waved with a spatula as I flipped the salmon.

Richie, Samantha, and Meir all shouted “CAREFUL!” I chuckled knowing none of them wanted me to get burned and smiled innocently at them as I went back to cooking. After I finished I set the salad and the food on the table, grabbing down plates and putting one at each place along the table. I studied Samantha and Richie as I sat down. Richie was a tall eagle standing at six foot with black feathers, white tips, and silver tail feathers. Samantha on the other hand was a short equine. She was five and a half feet tall, putting her even with my shoulders, had a dark blue mane and tail, a silver coat, and brown tips to her ears. They both had stunningly deep dark green eyes that they got from their father.

I stretched and said “Let’s dig in.” Everyone nodded and got themselves a plate then we all dug in. I was focused on my food but I caught the faces of amazement the others made. It wasn’t like I’d never cooked for them before, but they always acted as if they were surprised whatever I cooked was edible let alone good, until they’d stuffed their faces. I smirked and said “Enjoying yourselves?” They all nodded and dug in with gusto while I ate slowly humming under my breath.

Finally Alexis stretched and finished then said “Ah that was good.” The others agreed with her as they finished. I finished about ten minutes after everyone else, having savored my food. The others looked at me and Alexis asked “Any reason you took so long?” I stared at her as if asking ‘Really, you really don’t know?’ She studied me and said “You and fish, right. Sorry forgot.” I nodded and finished my can of soda I’d gotten out midway through my meal then crushed it and threw it in the recycle bin. The others stretched and Alexis asked “Who wants to play a game?”

I shrugged while everyone else said “Why not.” Alexis smirked and motioned for Meir to go to the cupboard we kept all the games in and pick one. Meir opened the cupboard and said “Monopoly, Clue, Sorry, Trouble, Pictionary, Scrabble, or Cards against humanity?” Everyone pointed at Cards against Humanity and she sighed then said “Alright Cards it is.” Richie yawned and said “Sweet.” Sam nodded and said “We have enough players too.” I nodded and started shuffling the black cards then the white.

We played for two or three hours then everyone except Meir left to go home. Meir went to her room and I stumbled into my own then popped my back and started reading a book on mythology. I was reading up on Greek myths in particular when my phone went off. I sighed and answered it saying “Hello?”

The voice on the other end said “Is this Jake Shadows?” I replied in the affirmative and the person on the other end said “I have a gift for you from your parents. Could you meet me at the front steps of the museum at ten tonight, if not then what about eight tomorrow.” I replied I could indeed meet them at ten tonight. They directed me where they’d be and hung up after saying “The password we’ll use is ‘Mythos is hidden from man,’ alright?” I replied in the affirmative. I hung up and got out of bed then pulled on my hoodie then started for the door.

Meir saw me leaving and asked “Where are you going?” I smiled at her and pointed out. She glared and said “I know you’re going out, but where exactly?” I mimed for a walk and she said “I hate that you choose to mime things rather than actually talk half the time. Whatever just be back by midnight.” I nodded and opened the door then headed out. I closed the door and jogged to the museum, having about fifteen minutes till my appointment, and arrived as a black car with tinted windows pulled up.

I sighed and thought “Oh boy, I think I just screwed myself over.” The person in the car climbed out and said “Hello Mr. Shadows, I’m Davis Matthews.” I nodded in greeting and he said “I see you were curious about the item I have from your parents.” I nodded again. He smiled and asked “What do you know about gods, monsters, myths, furs, and Humes?”

I sighed and said “Humes, or Humans have been around a couple of thousand years. Furs have been around since the early two thousands when a geneticist realized that by combining human and animal DNA he could make new species. The first furs were domestics. Then the military asked him to produce genetic modifications for soldiers using predators and more durable species. At first furs had less rights than humans, but eventually they started to rebel and, with the help of revolutionary humans, they eventually overthrew the government and allowed for mix breeding between the two races. Myths have been around as long as if not longer than humans, hence why Mythos is hidden from man. After all if man knew that the creatures of legend and myth were real they’d try to eradicate them out of fear.”

Matthews smirked and said “Ah, so you not only remembered the passphrase, but you also have a strange view on the supernatural. What if I were to tell you you’re a part of the supernatural, furs know of the supernatural but hide it from humans, and I want you to attend a school for all the races.” I shrugged at the first thing, smirked at the part of me being supernatural, sighed knowingly at the furs part, and blinked at the part about the school. He smirked reading my mind or so it seemed and said “Yes, I want you to attend the new school in town which will be one of the three universal schools for all races. You see the supernatural now have enough strength, and friends in higher places, that now they can honestly start to integrate into society.”

I sighed and asked “Do I have a choice in the matter?”

He smirked and said “You always have a choice mister Shadows. It’s just we don’t always see these choices until we’ve already made our decision.” I sighed figuring he’d say something like that and nodded in acceptance of going to the school figuring it wouldn’t kill me to attend a monster school, and if it did so what not like I’d be very much missed. He smirked and said “You won’t regret your decision. I believe I’ll now give you the scroll from your parents, which will unlock your hereditary traits and let you head home. I will see you in school in one month’s time.”

I waved him off wondering what kind of supernatural he was when a long devil tail slipped out of his pants and his shirt shifted as if something was moving on his back as he walked away. I watched him go then headed home and walked into my room locking the door. I opened the scroll and saw a long list of names then mine at the bottom and beside it a symbol that meant infinity. I stared at it and said “WTF is this?” Meir must have heard me because she came in and looked over my shoulder. I smirked at her and said “Must you always come running when I yell, what if I was in the middle of an orgasm.” She snorted and waved my comment off then studied the scroll in my hands. She shook her head to say she couldn’t make heads or tails of it either.

I grinned and said “Great, I get my hereditary gifts and all it is, is a family tree. I wonder what the infinity symbol means, and the weird symbol next to it.” The symbol in question looked like a weird depiction of something morphing and changing at whim. The longer you looked at it the less solid it seemed and the more alive it became. Meir shrugged and walked off then I yawned and put the scroll on my bedside table and plopped into bed muttering “Fifteen and life kicks me in the balls. Gods damn what’s next.” Meir plopped down on my chest and kissed up my neck causing me to shiver. I looked down at her and said “Don’t you have a boyfriend, mate, or fuck buddy you rely on regularly?”

She shook her head and said “All my fuck buddy’s went out of state for school. My ‘mate’ doesn’t exist, and I dumped my last boyfriend a month ago because he wouldn’t take no for an answer till I nearly castrated him. So for now you’re my cuddle buddy little buddy.” I snorted and closed my eyes making her smirk, which I could hear in her voice, as she said “Ah is little Jakey afraid of the big bad tiger?” I shook my head boredly and yawned. She sighed and said “You were so much more fun when you were younger and would get embarrassed. What happened to those days?”

I smirked and said “I grew up and got used to living with a walking seductress.” She giggled and ran a claw down my chest over my shirt and I said “You going to leave so I can get changed or sit and watch?” She just purred and I said “Sit and watch it is.” I pulled a bottle off my bedside stand and poured a pill from within into my hand then swallowed it dry. I got up as soon as Meir rolled off me and stretched then tossed off my shirt and pants. I pulled on a pair of shorts and plopped back into bed where Meir resumed her spot and said “Night Meir.”

She smiled and said “Night Jakey, have sweet dreams.” I snorted at that, I hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep without my medication since I was five. I hadn’t had my medication till I was eighteen, so you see why I hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep in years. I stroked Meir’s back causing her to purr and we both drifted off to sleep, little did I know our peaceful days were over.
