We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.-Plato

 

Haunted by the absence of her parents as a child, Sapphire now roams the world on her own. Living and thriving in the world of 4000 she must dodge the advancing government along with many other otherworldly beings as she walks along-side her newly found companions. Running from the government as the most dangerous criminal can be tough considering she's done nothing but help those blamed for false treason. Yet she's still seen as a danger to others.

 

Those who've seen her face on the telegraphic screens think of a murder, some believe her to be a superhero in a time of darkness. However, those who don't think so kindly of her unforgiving nature want her eliminated of existence. After watching everyone she ever cared about die before her eyes, she builds walls around her heart. Barely struggling to stay together. Having so many duties on one plate Sapphire balances the prophecy she must fulfill as well; mentally and physically she struggles to keep herself together. She's grown to control the power surging through her veins, but even with the amount of will she's managed to slowly fall into the darkness consuming her.

 

Will she ever get the happiness that's forever longed for and perhaps find love? The destiny that frequently reminds Sapphire of her terrible fate believes this task to be almost impossible. Will she come out on top as those believe she can do; or will she succumb to the darkness and fall into oblivion like so many have done before her?

 

Prologue

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was (or became) formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. The first day of earth's creation, the first recorded Words of God were 'Let there be light'. The sun was already shining brightly, but God made earth's thick new atmosphere allow diffuse light to penetrate to the surface. And so light was now separated from darkness.

 

On the second day of earth's creation there was yet no liquid water, no oceans, no separation of waters. God hovering over the waters' as described in the bible. He then created the condense onto the cooling earth which simultaneously formed a whole-planet ocean and cleared the skies.

 

The third day of creation; the appearance of dry ground.

 

The fourth day; with the sun now clear, the sun, the moon and stars were dependably visible. They were to serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years.' The sun marked the day (sunset to sunset), the moon the month (new moon to new moon), and the stars the seasons.

 

On the fifth day of creation; God created numbers of birds and sea creatures to fill beautiful skies and waters. He blessed the creatures to be fruitful and increase in number.

 

The sixth day; vast numbers of land and animals. Man. From the man, woman are just now discovering how to alter fertilized embryos, and even to create one from the tissue of another.

 

The last day of earth's creation; Scientist and some religions believed this was the day God and those created were to relax and earth was complete. They were and could never be more wrong. God blessed the protector of the moon, Artemis the Moon Goddess, for her beaty captured all.

 

As he was the creator of earth and both the moon and the sun, he watched over both the children of day and night yet blessed the woman as she watched her children of night. However even with this great ability she still wasn't satisfied; she decided creating children of her own would benefit greatly. God forbid this creation for it was un-natural yet she disobeyed his pleas and bound God's creation together to form creatures of her own. The Vampire; a creation of both the insect of the bat and human being. The Werewolf; the creation of a feral wolf-beast and human. Witches and warlocks; the blood of God and herself and human being. God grew angry with Artemis, saddened by her disobedience and inability to listen to his very few please. She was thrown into the pits of hell and forbidden to visit the gates of heaven and earth as long as she continued to breath. Satan was trapped and bound in hell as well for he believed he was stronger and greater than God, trying to over-strengthen God himself.

 

As Artimes was bound in hell her beauty captured Satan, and he grew to favor the woman and bow down to her every need. Seeing as Artimes loved all, she treated Satan as her own earning his unworthy trust. Many years later Satan gave Artemis the power to see over the earth and her few children. The first werewolf in existence was from Artemis' palm, with both the strength and senses of any wolf yet only in the human form. The boy, Tobias, grew in a small village as a mere mortal and only at one point in his young life would he be able to shift into the beautiful beast pumping through his viens. Tobias roamed earth in search of one in which he would vow as his life-mate. A female human that would be worthy enough to bare his children. Belteri Devoneh, a French female with two young children, was what Tobias believed to be his life-mate. Belteri was impregnated with his child, carrying the young one in her womb for a max of four months. Her body, not able to handle the advance growth of the child, shut down after birth. Now finished with his mission, Tobias returned back to his creator and watched over the child as he grew frantically in the foster home.

 

Artemis gave the child knowledge in which she carried and held dearly. The child, Valentine, created names of each creature that would deam good enough for Artemis.

 

He bared five children, each a full blood, that would watch over each of the werewolves that roamed the gates of earth. Three men and two women; Tobias, Glato, Devenro, Kaleigh, and Seline. These five werewolves were known as 'The Council' that would watch and take care of Artemis' children seeing as she could only talk to her children, yet doing this recieved much of her strength.

 

Valentine gave his duties to his five children as he lay upon his death bed; his wolf accepting his fate while his human denying causing an inflicting battle on his mortal body. The Council watched each wolf carefully; A group of wolves together was known as a pack, the leader of this pack (also seen as the strongest) was known as an Alpha, a lone wolf without a family to call its' own was seen as a rogue. They were feared seeing as they acting only upon mere instinct inflicting many wounds on other werewolves. Artemis wasn't happy that her children failed to agree with one another so every two-thousand years and Blood Wolf was created and bared from her wound. This child would keep her children together and with the Blood Wolf's power, the child would rein higher than any other.

 

As every principle has a secretary, or second in command, every Alpha has a Beta. When the Alpha fails to find it's life-mate to rule the pack along-side the Alpha must find a descendant to keep the Alpha bloodline continuing. When the Alpha falls from position and is either phsycially or mentally unable to take care of the pack, the next descendent is to take position. Unless the Alpha fails to find his next descendant in time then the next most powerful is to take care of the pack, the Beta. The Beta has the responsibility to choose the Third In Command, the next in line to take charge of the pack. Every four years the Alphas and his/her Betas are required to visit with The Council to discuss the upcomming affairs.

 

Now Sapphire must face this world with few friends by her side. Trust being something Sapphire didn't understand until recently, Trust being a word just as powerful as love. Hate, Love, Trust; all words Sapphire knew all too well, words she didn't want to understand with her own personal experiences. Living in a world of werewolves, witches, vampires, and other unknown creatures overwhelmed her tiny mind. Though many humans didn't know of their existence, they knew of the fiction stories. Lies told from authors with their make believe stories, things they wanted their readers to beleive. Sapphire knew very well that the world she living in was immature, she herself didn't know how much knowledge she lacked until the day her pack so brutally taken from her. The very day everything she held dearly to her heart was taken from her in the blink of an eye.

Chapter One

"Get up! Time for breakfast!" Someone screamed, giddy with glee. Sapphire jumped up from her bed excited to meet the day head on, as it was the day she would be turning five. Nathan stood in front of her, his 4"11 standing much taller than her 3"4. She smiled gleefully up at her nine year old brother and grasped him in her tiny palms.

 

"Happy birthday Saph!" His soft hazel eyes gleamed down on her with a happiness only he could fathom. Nathan's dark brown curly hair grew out and past his thin hairline, hanging freely and loosely on his tan skin.

 

"Thanks bubba," she greeted. Finally releasing from his strong nine year old arms, she sprinted down the stairs with Nathan's laughter following closely behind. She screamed out with happiness when he in
