Harsh Line: An Urban Fantasy: 1 (Cataclysm)

My very existence is under attack. Ive kept a low profile told myself the craziness sweeping the world would pass me by. Yeah it was wishful thinking actually an outright lie but its kept me sane.Ive been hiding out forever in one guise or another. Currently I run a nightclub. Ascent is an ask me no questions and Ill tell you no lies haven. For everybody. Im a Vampire. Far be it from me to judge.My closest ally is a shapeshifting dire wolf. I adopted him when he was a scrawny puppy but Im getting ahead of my tale.The fragile détente between supernaturals and humans has crashed and burned. I cant avoid the truth any longer. Lucky for me mortals dont know exactly what I am. When I moved to Seattle some vampiric sixth sense urged me to play my cards close to my vest but Im done burying my secrets.And my power.Its past time for supernaturals to get over their stupid infighting. Meh. So what if Witches hate Druids? Or Fae never deal with Sorcerers? We have to pull together or well have no chance at all.Not that its likely but if any mortals see the light and sign up for our side wed damn well better welcome them.Im Ariana Hawke. No more skulking in the shadows for me.
