Oblivion

"Not everything about this world is amazing, there's a lot of magic and yeah, it can be fun but your power, your ability, it's irreversible. You don't get to choose who you are or what you are and I have seen people driven mad because of it. I don't want this to end with you guys in a hospital. So that's what the potion is for. You can take it if you'd like, you don't have to. But you're going to see things a lot differently and there are going to be a lot of changes and who knows, you might get into it with a lot of creatures. This world is either going to make your life amazing or it's going to make it filled with death and you never get to choose. You just have to roll with the punches and that," She pointed to the vile in my hand " is your only ticket out and it expires tomorrow morning."

My life was fairly normal before that night. I was a good lacrosse player, a good student and a good friend. I was just a little too stubborn and a little too nosey. What was that saying? Curiosity killed the cat? I got ahead of myself and I ended up here, with a predestined future on a search for a dead lacrosse player. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. I was warned. But this was how it went. A scire on my left and a blood sucker on my right. The moon glowed red and this was going to be the night for a search party. This was what I wanted, an adventure in the gloomy town of Calexico. What was the saying? Curiosity killed the cat. I heard a low growl behind us and that's when I knew, it was time. Curiosity might have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
