Underworld: Introduction - Story
A new romance story, set in a supernatural world.
For thousands of years, vampires and demons lived silently, hidden among humans.
Underworld: Introduction
What is the Underworld?
In the year 2135, war broke out between the nations of the humans. But this one was unlike many others. It was fought on American soil.
Hundreds of years later, America was ravaged. Cities destroyed, the land in shambles, hundreds of millions dead. What was left were small groups of humans, living scattered throughout the country. Small governments formed and fought for supremacy. The humans were at a disadvantage, and the vampires and demons saw this as an opportunity.
It didn't take much effort or time for the creatures to turn the humans... and soon enough, none remained in the entire country. As the population of the supernatural creatures grew, cities were built. Tall glass skyscrapers climbed towards the heavens. The cities were huge, and were all that were focused on. The forests, towns, pastures, and villages that once dotted the country were gone. What now existed were major cities and blackened, destroyed land.
A land now known as the Underworld.
The story begins in the Center for the Containment of Underworld Criminals, a generic Underworld prison located in the city of New Underworld, the first city built during the creation of the new land.

"Anyliez!"
"What is it? What's going on?" Anyliez asked in a rushed manner. "The electric field on section seventy-two's gate is losing intensity," she paused to catch her breath, "And we are going to have a shit load of problems if we don-"
Anyliez's colleague put a finger to his lips. "Calm yourself. Breath. The director is already aware of the situation and has sent a team of mechanics down to resolve the issue. I came here to inform you that the recruit has arrived and you've been requested to show him around the facilities."
She exhaled through her nose, relieved that something was going right during the stressful day.. or more like, stressful week. It seemed that ever since the new Arrivals were transferred, guards had become an unanticipated shortage that needed to be addressed as soon as possible. Anyliez stood up from her desk and made her way towards the door, her black leather heels echoing off the cold, tiled floor.
Anyliez was one of the few overseers that managed a multitude of affairs at the Center for the Containment of Underworld Criminals. Her position brought her power and freedom. Power to control a mass amount of workers, and freedom to do whatever she wanted. Well, anything that she could sneak under the noses of the head directors. All of whom she's slept with at one point in time. If anything didn't go her way, Anyliez knew exactly what to do to turn the cards in her favor.
"Oh and boss," her colleague said, handing her a white folder, "Here is the write up for the recruit."
"Thank you," she said, walking briskly out of the office and down the industrial metal stairway.
According to the information on the recruit, Anyliez discovered that this man was not just a "recruit," but a replacement for her previous leading officer, someone to carry out her orders. His name was Demetrius. He was a Pure vampire- the strongest of their kind. Scrolling down the page, she saw that he was one hundred sixty-seven years old and has had fifty years of training under another prestigious and well-known government facility. In other words, a vampire that seemed destined for a future better than this godforsaken prison. She wondered what the hell he could possibly want from this place.
Through the reading of the newly received information and listening to the rhythmic sound of her own footsteps, Anyliez realized that she had arrived in the entrance hall- a grand, marble encased, barrel-vaulted entrance that was designed to put new visitors in awe. The new atmosphere was a breath of fresh air- compared to the metallic, steel, glass, electronic mess that made up the outer wing... otherwise known as the area that held her office.
She scanned her surroundings. It would have been helpful if the bastards who made this write-up put a picture. Luckily, it was late in the day, and there weren't too many people in the entrance. She spotted a man casually leaning against one of the dark marble walls, obviously waiting for something or someone. Maybe that someone was her? He was tall. Possibly muscular, but it was difficult to tell due to the not-so-form-fitting leather jacket he wore. She decided that it was a safe bet that he was probably the right guy.
As Anyliez made her way towards the man, his head slowly turned towards her as he sensed her coming closer. He was not a man, but a God... with perfect facial features that seemed chiseled out of stone. High cheekbones, perfect soft, pink lips. Perfect dark, chestnut hair. Deep merlot colored eyes framed by long lashes. Perfect, perfect, perfect. The whole nine yards. And all of those features? Indicative of a Pure vampire.
Yes. This was him.
