Cursed Hope

Cursed Hope

0 INK

A century old feud between shapeshifters and humans has finally come to a head. They determined that it's one race or the other.

932 readers have visited Cursed Hope since bizarre1 created it.

Introduction

Humans think that they are the dominant species of Earth. Pompous little creatures they are, stuck in a single form. Little do they know that they will soon be challenged for it. The humans must be made to suffer like me and my race did for centuries! Why do we wish this upon that insignificant speck of a species? Well, let me tell you a little about the history of our race.

Centuries ago, there was a colony of shapeshifters. We didn't get involved with humans or their matters and roamed about freely in our human and animal forms and for a very long time the world was perfect. Rather than changing the Earth or making it solely our own, we preferred to adapt to our environment, though not all of us liked how the humans were changing it. It was a daily task to sit in our boring, weak human forms to keep those fragile humans away from our colony by negotiating with them. However, there came a day when us shapeshifters lost our ability to change forms. Every single one of us was stuck in our natural animal forms forever.

The cause of this monstrosity was the humans. Those neanderthals, the humans, started practicing magic, messing with it actually. They found out what we really were and cursed us to be trapped in our natural animal forms. Those monsters called the humans that played with magic, that only us superior beings should be allowed to use, came to be called witches and wizards. We, the shifters, were now stuck in our animal forms and began to lose sight of our human side and gave in to our full animal instincts. It helped us forget what we were and what had been done to us. Many of us killed themselves when they learned of the misfortune of our race.

The wretched humans told their children that there never was such a thing as the shapeshifters, though they told bedtime stories of us as pets, though the idea is loathe. The humans told their dear children that we were nothing more than pitiful animals for them to tame and kill for their dinners. Over time, our race became forgotten, even to many of our own who pretended and fooled themselves that they really were nothing but animals.

Now we come back to our own time, the 21st century. This is where things for us, the mighty shapeshifters that had sunk so low through the years, begin to change. Slowly, our old ways started to surface once again in our minds as we began to notice human behavior. At last, after centuries of being bound to a single form, our curse was broken. We felt more powerful than ever and once more could shift between our human and animal forms. We began to feel humanity again and could decide for ourselves whether we wanted to act as human or animal. However, after so long being animals, our minds were steeled in that mindset, making it difficult for us to act wholly human.

Now the humans will get what they deserve. Those malevolent creatures that for so long called us the weak race will learn of our true power! We have waited centuries stuck exactly as we were when the curse was wrought upon us. Our children's grandchildren have been trapped in their young forms for centuries because of the evil beings that call themselves so pure. We will rebel against their rule of this Earth that they have claimed for so long and we will win the war!

Danielle

Danielle weaved through the trees of the forest. She loved running around in her panther form. Her night black fur was soft since she had it brushed all the time. If anyone were to look close enough they would see blood around her mouth from her most recent kill. She paused to lick her lips. That deer had tasted good. A click to the right caught her attention. She froze in place and sampled the air to see if she could catch any scents. A human. She darted straight ahead, sure that she was being hunted. Going back to the village was a bad idea since she didn't want to lead the hunter to where her and her family lived. Danielle came to a clearing and spun in a full circle. She found a thick tree and crouched low behind it. The human appeared in the clearing. He was holding a sketchpad and a pencil. Danielle stayed where she was and didn't move a muscle. The guy couldn't be any older than 23. He scanned the clearing and sat down crosslegged. A low growl grew in Danielle's chest. It annoyed her that he wasn't leaving. The guy's head snapped up and looked around again until he saw her head poking round the tree. Danielle allowed the growl to grow even louder and slowly crept out from behind the tree with her head bent low and her tail flicking from side to side. The guy slowly stood up and back away, more cautious than ever.

"He doesn't seem so dangerous to me." she thought to herself.

Danielle stopped growling and raised her head. Instead of pouncing and attacking him, she sat down and stared at him. She was slightly curious about him. He slowly sat down again, keeping his eyes on her in case she decided to suddenly attack him. When he was fully sitting on the ground, he opened up his sketchpad and started sketching something. He seemed so into it. His eyes looked from her to the paper as he drew. Danielle tilted her head to the side in curiosity. She stood up again and slowly approached him. All his muscles tensed up and he sat, frozen in his spot. Danielle moved behind him to look at what he was drawing. It was her. The guy was looking out of the corners of his eyes to keep an eye on her while she was behind him. Danielle moved next to him and stared at the drawing over his shoulder. His muscles slowly started to relax and then he slowly reached out to touch Danielle's fur. Caught of guard, Danielle jerked away from him and he pulled his hand back in instinctive response. After a few seconds to analyze the situation, she darted off into the trees. She had never been that close to a human before. Maybe he wasn't completely evil, but that didn't mean that the rest weren't. He was one of them, so he was an enemy. Danielle went back to her village and fled to her room to take a nap so she could hopefuly forget about meeting that human.


Emma

Emma laid down on a large boulder where the sun was shining. It felt good when the sun soaked into her fur. She closed her eyes for a few seconds before she caught the scent of another shifter. It was Danielle. She watched as Danielle ran toward the village. There was another scent nearby. Emma got up to investigate. She hopped off her boulder and ducked when she saw a human going the same direction Danielle did.

"Hunter." Emma thought.

With her ears back and tail nearly between her legs, she growled at the human. He took a step back and then just stood there. Emma noticed that he seemed to be more mystified than scared. The fur on her back rose and her teeth revealed themselves. The guy took a step back and ran off in a different direction.

"Danielle needs to be more careful." she thought.

Emma quietly followed the guy at a distance so he wouldn't notice her. She wanted to make sure that he left the forest and stayed away from the village. When he took off in his car, she headed to the village to find Danielle. When she found her, she was taking a nap.

"Danielle. Wake up." she said.

Danielle snapped up in bed. She looked alarmed to see Emma there.

"I just wanted to tell you to be more careful when you are out there. I found a human following you." she said.

Danielle nodded and Emma left.

Sorry, no. All characters must be full shifter.

I would also like to make it clear to everyone that the shifters can only have one human form and one animal form.

Re: [OOC] Cursed Hope

If I make a char can I make it half the animal and the human, what I was thinking of doing is making a neko.
