Introduction
" It's gonna be fun think about it a whole summer in the peace and tranquility of nature. " you mother says to you and your siblings as you enter the small town of Oakhill in southern Ohio, its an almost nothing town and those who have seen it think of it nothing more than a breeding ground of rednecks. Your mother says that her older brother has a son who is willing to take the two of you for the summer while your mom and dad go on a summerlong cruise but you don't want to leave your civilized Concord home. You have seen this cousin before whenever theres a family reunion and even then he is silent and always looking around. Hes very strange but very friendly when you talk to him. He is always seen with a pistol or a hunting knife on his belt when you see him. You start to doze off as you get closer and try to think about what your friends are doing.
In reality the town is home to more than humans. It is housed to demons and other 'monsters '. He is the keeper so to speak of these creatures and one of the few humans in the town. He is in charge of keeping them in the town and out of trouble with the other residents. He works with two assistants but they aren't human either. His job is getting harder and he fears of himself getting hurt or killed and if so he wants to train them to do the work if he gets hurt but they don't know that yet.
There are four main types of monsters they each have a type of skill and a weakness. They are powerful but still mortal. Any shot to the head will kill them instantly. Their powers will affect any normal human but it will have less to no effect on a Keeper.
Vampires are the basic monsters of the bunch. They are weak when it comes to sunlight making them slow and weak. They feed not on blood but extremly rare meat. They will kill something just for a snack but it is frowned upon to kill a fellow monster or human. They have the powers of hypnosis but it can be prevented and broken by the scent of garlic. They are prone to often challenge others when angered and will become docile if they lose.
Shapeshifters are a strange race of monster that other than their ability to change into the forms of a large animal which varies from bloodlines. They have superhuman abilities when in their animal form and can preform amazing feats. Their weakness is if they are exposed to silver or gold when in animal forms.
The succubus is a wild and seductive creature. They feed on the souls of humans and do so through seduction. Their clear difference between them and humans are the devils tail and large bat wings. They are clever and will get a human into a private place to eat their soul. They only have to eat monthly but like to eat as much as they can. Their weakness is to get a mirror infront of them while they try to seduce a human.
Goblins are extremely strange and somewhat brutish. They are spilt into two subtypes. The first and most common is a small, thin, pale creature. They are extremely smart and are the main shopkeepers in the town. The like to con people and will sell them objects or food that has gone bad unless they are confronted about it. The second type is a strong tall brutish creature capable of destroying a house with little effort. They have a bad temper and like to hurt humans ans creatures alike. The weakness for both types is a well placed bullet. They have no true weakness like humans but their skin is too hard to penetrate with a melee weapon.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 5 authors
"Do you draw?" she asked, realising she had said wolves were fun to draw. "I've never heard a comment like that before Elatha. It's a funny thing you should say." she commented, pouring whippy cream on and then opening the marshmallows. She smiled to the girl. "If you like, I woul let you try drawing me in my wolf form. There's some truly beautiful views in this town that would make amazing backdrops." she held out the mug of hot chocolate to the girl with a tower of cream and sprinkled with mini marshmallows.
"I-I mean... yes, please." she said a little softer with a sheepish smile as she reatched out and took the cup. It was hot to the touch and warmed Elatha's hands right up. She picked off one of the mini-marshmellows of the sky-high heap of whipped cream and popped it in her mouth as Lucas walked in and anounced he was going for a drive before leaving again. Had he been there the whole time? Elatha didn't think it mattered, though he seemed a lot happier now. She looked at Sumi again and lipped the whipped cream happily, chewing a marshmellow she had caught. "Thank you the dessert," Elatha said to Sumina, then offered meakly, "M-Maybe I can braid beads in your hair... you know, if you wanted..."
She turned back down to Elatha, smiling gently to her again. "You're welcome Elatha, and beads?" she'd never really heard of people threading beads into other peoples hair. It wasn't really something she had ever tried. "Well, I'd be happy to find out what it's like to have beads threaded into my hair, young friend." she smiled lightly to the girl and nodded gently. "I would like it very much of you would do that for me." she commented happily, picking up a marshmallow and sniffing it, before popping it into her mouth.
He started the engine and took off quite slowly. He drove slowly but kept an eye on everything. He was getting very paranoid from the thought of the rebels. It was a scary thought to him and everyone other human who lived in the town. The only defense he had against him was firepower and a good shot. He stopped by the lake and sat at the shore. He looked out as the moon shone over the glass-like water. It was calming like he could stay there forever.
"You're also correct about shapeshifters. Though not all develop from the wolf bloodline. It's mainly all large animals." she seemed to look thoughtful herself. "However, although it may seem that they just shift into animals, they also develop amazing abilities." she scratched the back of her neck tensely at thinking about one of the traits that came along with her other form and decide to discuss it no further. It was one thing that, she could confess, made her feel like a monster.
"The only other creatures you must've not encountered are goblins." Sumi said, changing the topic quickly. "Now, there's two type of Goblins. There's a small, clever type which tend to run most of the small shops and market stalls. They have a tendency to try and scam you out of your money. The Second type is a bulky strong type. They're a bit more... Fiesty." she frowned slightly. "In my opinion. They're the worst things that live around here. They're terribly hard to fight with thick skin and a vicious attitude. I'll leave it to Lucas to take you into more detail with it though. Just... I wouldn't approach a goblin alone..." Sumi frowned slightly. It was obvious, she wasn't a big fan of being a monster among many, but it wasn't like she could help it...
(sorry I've been gone so far, I just went on a 9 hr trip... But I'm back!)
Elatha listened intently as Sumi spoke. She found her comment about the gender ratio of the sucubi and incubi she was likely to see. Honstely she couldn't imagen anyone walking up and flirting with her but whatever. It might be flattering, although if she stuck with her sister all the incubi would likely flock to the model sibling without a second glance at Elatha. Again, that was totally okay with her. She also felt better when Sumi said that there were other people, human-people, in town despite the fact they would probably threaten her life. It was understandable why. Elatha took another swig of her yummy cocoa, chewing the fluffy marshmellows as Sumina went on.
The comment above various other shape shifter bloodlines fasincated Elatha and she wondered exactly how many types where in existance. Although Sumi seemed to be eager to move away from the topic of shape shifter's special powers, moving on quickly to the subject of goblins. Elatha decided not to press the girl for information as it would probably be rude and maybe even offensive. The way that Sumina talked of the first type of goblins was in annoyance, but the second type she actually sounded fearful of. As she described the second type of goblin Elatha smiled sightly, "It sounds like the Increidable Hulk." she said with a small giggle.
((Sorry for short post, can't think of anything else to put >.<))
Elatha thought for a moment, drinking her cocoa slowly. "Actually, yeah... Lucas." She paused for a moment. She had a lot of questions about Lucas but wasn't exactly sure how to phrase all of them. "How did my cousin... how did he...?" she motioned around, trying to find the words to continue her question, "I mean... Is he in charge? He's just a human, but he's sort of... in charge, right? Of all of this?" She looked at Sumina with a small plea in her eyes for the girl to understand her question.
His emotions were something he tried not to show to most people. He had to keep the appearance of a fearless sheriff type leader and he couldn't be stopped by anything. He was almost the opposite, the only reason he took the job was because he was the only human who could do it and he could make most fights end up calm and both sides content.
