I was born here. This is my home.

And mine. And mine.

For centuries, supernatural creatures have lived among us. There are vampires,

werewolves, doppelgangers, witches, and even hybrids.

There are those who protect them.... "The sheriff has a vampire for a daughter...

and our lovely mayor has a son who is half vampire, half werewolf."

... and those who want them dead.

They're our friends,

our enemies, the ones we love...

and the ones we've lost. "Matt, look out!!" And then there's me... I'm human.

... at least I was.
