Hey everyone!!! Sorry for not posting for a long time. I meant to write a lot more but my bosses decided that overtime is actually a good thing.
First of all, I need to say thank you to Drenkara for helping straighten out what I wanted to do with this story. It's too bad that life had to get busy before I finished, but thank you for your help. Next, thank you to both blackstallion21 and Cruel2BKind for editing my story. I hadn't even been expecting you guys to accept, since I haven't had much luck with editors, however, I am thankful to you both. You both truly whipped me into shape with your editing.
Also, I would like to give a huge thanks to nomoretears00 for being my test reader. Your input was truly appreciated. Also thank you for your support during that scary time. :)
Finally, thank you to all of those who sent me email or commented on my stories, especially recently when a lot of.....weird comments showed up on one of my stories.
Please do continue to vote and comment on my stories. I love hearing you feedback.

Sydney:
On this planet there exists, or more accurately used to exist, two worlds: the Seen and the Unseen.
The world which is seen is the human world; the world in which its inhabitants travel in broad daylight and have an expiration date.
On the other hand, there is the world that is Unseen. This is the world of supernatural beings, such as vampires, werewolves, and the other 'mythical' creatures; the world of the immortals.
However, within the last two hundred years, a third world has emerged.
This is the world in which I live.
It is a secret and hidden world. If anyone was to find out that I still live, well, let's just say that it would not be pretty.
The Seen world can be broken down further into the Knowing and the Unknowing. Those who know that the Unseens exist are the Knowing. Those who don't know about the immortal creatures are the Unknowing.
Some of the Knowing are uncomfortable in the knowledge that there is something out there that is stronger, faster, and smarter than they. They are not comfortable with the idea that they are not the hunters.
Instead, they are the prey.
Of course, among those who are uncomfortable with the Unseen are those who have lost loved ones to them. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, spouses, children and others have been slaughtered before their eyes.
The Knowing have formed a secret alliance. They've agreed to share money, weaponry, and manpower in order to destroy the Unseen.

Due to various circumstances I work for the American West Coast branch of 'Let All Be Seen.' They use the cover of a modeling agency to send their agents along the west coast, or all over the world if requested, to exterminate the Unseen.
My cover within the agency is that of a model. I just turned 18 years old last week. At 5'9" some may think that I am a little short, however, what I lack in height I make up for in looks. At least, that's what others say.
I have light brown hair with natural streaks of blond, dark brown, and almost black hair. My eyes are an odd mixture of colors too. They are a medium brown with specks of green and blue.
"Sydney, have you heard about the talks?" my agent Carlos asked.
He started being my agent one year after I first started the agency. Or more accurately, after I punched my first four agents out.
I feel that I had a reason. You don't grope someone underage or stronger than you. Apparently none of them knew that.
"What talks?" I asked.
"I guess that some of the Unseen want to discuss the possibility of a peace treaty with us," Carlos said shaking his head.
He lost his wife and two year old daughter to a rogue vampire four years ago. Which was the reason that he joined 'Let all be Seen.'
"Peace isn't a bad thing, Carlos. We should give it a chance. I mean for goodness sakes, we are already working alongside some vampires and werewolves!"
Besides being a model I am also the leader of the Special Division of 'Let All Be Seen.'
Some vampires and werewolves are not happy that they had no choice in their change. Some humans were bitten and left to die a slow and painful death. Somehow, some of these humans survive the change and are not blood crazed uncontrollable demons.
They managed to keep ahold of most of their human characteristics. When they woke up after the change they felt deep hatred towards the species that forcibly changed their entire way of life. They are called the Revealed. Many of them wish to destroy the Unseen by exposing them to the public; one way of doing this is by joining 'Let All Be Seen.'
So basically, I am the leader of a bunch of vampires and werewolves.
To be honest, I started Special Division; only a few of the old geezers that ran the agency thought that it would be a good idea.
Many of them thought that any vampires and werewolves we took in would join just to get a free shot at harming the agency.
However, with 'special backing' Special Division was created. In two years Special Division has gotten more done than all of the other divisions put together.
"But Sydney, the Unseen that work for us have taken a vow! They drink the blood that we provide and hunt only animals," Carlos answered as two figures walked up to us after coming out of a nearby doorway.
"Are you two talking about the peace talks?" a tall black man with bright blue eyes asked.
"Oh hey, Taío. Yeah, I was telling Carlos that we should give peace a chance."
"If they apologize for ruining so many lives I guess we could give it a try..," a tall broad Norwegian with bright green eyes responded.
"Well, well, at least we know how the puppy feels," Taío snorted out.
"Yeah, this 'puppy' could kick your ass anytime and is far more intelligent than you could ever hope to be," Jírka growled out.
"Why are my two 'mature' captains behaving like overgrown children?" I made sure that my voice was dripping with menace. There is no way that my youthfully high voice would ever make someone obey me. But, I have my methods.
"Ummm...."
"Oh, I get it. You two were setting an example for the rest of the men on how to NOT behave, right?"
"YES!!" was the unison reply. As if to emphasize the reply, Taío threw his arm around Jírka, who cringed but still smiled.
"Good, then you both would LOVE to show the men what happens if they fight, wouldn't you?"
"Yes, Sir," was the less-than enthusiastic answer.
I took a step forward and gave them my coldest stare, "What? I couldn't hear you."
"We would love to show the men what happens when they fight!" Jírka yelped out.
"Well then," I said after they continued to stand around, "start!"
