Nolan's POV
Today I got a new patrol scheduler.
And surprise, surprise all my shifts are starting at 12.30am and are ending at 5:30am.
Yay!!
Can you hear the sarcasm?
Because that was a hardcore sarcasm.
Let me explain this to you.
So, we have this thing called Creatures Community. That's a Community of all the creatures in England. Every country has one.
When we are born our parents need to sign a document in which they are confirming that they want Creatures Community to protect their children.
I was actually surprised when I found out my parents signed that. That's probably the only evidence I have to confirm that they actually cared about me.
There is also one problem in Creatures Community.
Because of our bad history with vampires, vampires are not allowed to join Creatures Community.
That's pretty childish if you ask me.
So this is what happened.
Around 300 years ago came one vampire that decided to make a community for vampires to take a revenge on Creatures Community and our then king.
His name was Evanlotus Glengraham. I know. What a name.
They say he did it because our then king had an affair with his mate.
There is many more theories, but that one is the model popular and most logical one.
In the end Evanlotus failed.
People say he was killed in a war ,but there is no evidence of that.
It was a terrible war full of death and blood, so everyone just assumed he died to.
People say that vampires were so scared, and are still, that they still refuse to make another community.
I doubt that they will not ever make one, but I don't complain about how we are now.
C.C. (Creatures Community) works very simply.
We in return to community's protection need to do jobs they give us.
We do get paid for it, but in money that is worth only for creatures.
We can not buy anything in human world with it.
But none of us care. Most of us are living with only creatures anyways.
Because I am a mora, my job is to keep everyone's dreams in check.
Of course not in whole England, just in Brighton.
But there are 229,700 people living here and only one mora, me.
Oh joy.
I sometimes just leave people without a dream or a nightmare. Depends how I feel that day.
My personal record is 173.83 people in one night.
I think you can see that I was not feeling like sleeping that day.
That was actually the first time King Matthew ever noticed me.
He is not a brighest guy alive, but who cares.
Definitely not me.
Ivy got a new scheduler too and I'm so excited.
This time she got a night patrol twice a week!!!
She usually has a day patrols because griffins love sun, but they can see perfectly in dark because of their eagle sight and that's why some of them have night patrols.
Me and Ivy love working together. We joke and tease each other. I show her some tricks with shadows, mind controlling and dreams. She always listens and gives me a ride on her back when I am too tired to turn in my shadow form.
It's sooo cool.
Today we did just that.
It's Sunday morning.
It's 5.40am and Ivy just flew me home.
We agreed to go on a movie in the evening because you know I won't stay awake if we go anywhere around noon after this patrol.
Today was a good night.
I made 114.021 dreams. They are really easy and quick to make because it needs to be only 6 or less seconds long.
Most dreams last only 2 to 6 seconds, but your brain slows them down and analyze them.
Well if you didn't know before, now you know.
If I could just make them without thinking I could make a millions of them in those 5 hours.
But unfortunately, I need to read your memories. Not all of them, but at least the day before.
Sometime I am lazy so I just give people some weird staff like flying or something like that.
I don't like giving people nightmares, but I have to give at least 1000 nightmare per night. That's what king says.
I can proudly say that after my shift and fun time with Ivy, I passed out till 3pm.
That means I got 9 hours of sleep, but who cares when I still feel tired after it.
Ellie eventually got me out of the bad by pretending that I am her punching bag.
I see why Ivy likes her.
In that moment I thought that she is stronger then some adult werewolves and she is only 13 and human.
I took some black t-shirt and jeans. I put a jacket on because moras are always cold, so I ware hoodies regardless of a temperature outside.
Before I run of, I kissed my grandparents on their cheeks. And remind Ellie about food that is in the fridge.
I made food for them and Ellie in the morning before I pass out, so Ellie can just warm it up when she is or our grandparents are hungry.
We don't have that much money we mostly live on money I get from C.C.I get more money because I have more job then anyone else in C. C. I mena I'm only one creature who doesn't have anyone like me to work with in Brighton.
I get enough money for food and some bills.
Ivy's family helps me a lot with bills. They are kind of rich so they don't think anything of it, but I still feel bad using their money, but I need to do it for my sister and grandparents so I don't have a choice.
I step in front of Ivy's house and took a deep breath.
A tip for all off you. If you are going to Ivy's house you need to mentality prepare yourself.
I knocked.
Ivy always tells me to just come in, but I feel like it would be rude to do that.
I heard screaming and instantly knew that twins will open the doors.
Sure enough, here they were, Mat and Zack. They are both 4 years old and started to make a living hell to everyone in house after they started walking and talking.
They both run towards me and hugged me. I picked them up and started walking to the living room.
"Nol! Nol! I need to show you my new toys!!!!! They are so cool!! " Zack told me. I smiled In return and open my mouth to say something, when Mat interrupted me.
"No mine are cooler then yours. Nol you need to see mine!" I was again about to tell something, but was again interrupted.
"No mine are better"
"No they are not"
"Yes they are"
"No! "
"Yes!"
"Nooo!"
"Yess!"
"Noooo!"
I started getting a headache from all the shouting so I interrupted their 'conversation'.
"Guys! I will go look at both of your toys just stop yelling!" It must be that I said that harsher then I intended because they both lowered their heads .
I felt bad so I said: "So now who wants me to make cute animals out of the shadows?"
"Me!" they both yelled at the same time.
I asked them where Ivy is and they told me she is still in the bathroom doing her make up.
I started making puppies and kittens out of shadows while Mr. And Mrs. London were laughing at us from the kitchen.
After 45 minutes Ivy finally decided to show up.
"Hey, Nol!"
"Hi Ivy, do you want a puppy?" I asked teasingly with a smirk.
She rolled her eyes, grabbed my hand and rushed us out of the house yelling 'goodbyes' on her way out.
We got out of Ivy's car in front of cinema and started to look for Daniel and Mark.
It was not that hard because they look like giants compare to other people.
We all bought snacks and took our tickets.
My sit is between Ivy and Daniel.
Daniel on my left side and Ivy on my right side and Mark sat at the other side of Daniel.
To be honest I didn't know what we were going to watch.
But it turned out that we are watching some horror movie.
Oh...
That's going to be interesting to say at least....
I'm not good with horror movies. I'm just to jumpy for them.
Movie started after a couple of adds and I prepared myself for the worst.
Well I thought I did...
I jumped in my sit maybe 10 times in first 15 minutes of the movie.
Daniel and Mark looked at me with concern and Ivy just laughed.
Idiot, she knows I hate horror movies.
Movie is 2 and a half hours long, but I couldn't take it so I just walked out after an hour.
Ivy, Mark and Daniel got out with me.
Daniel was asking me if I was ok, but soon after we all just started to laugh.
We decided to go in abounded place in town where no one ever goes.
Probably a bad idea after a horror movie, but who cares.
We were talking about everything and nothing when I spotted something move in the house.
"Guys I think someone is in the house." I whispered.
There was a moment of silence which, of course, broke Ivy.
"Let's eavesdrop." said Ivy
"No that's not a god idea Ivy!" now it was Mark who whispered - shouted
"Oh you babies. No one will know if Nolan turns into a shadow. " Ivy answered.
"Wait, what. I thought only moras can turn into shadows." said Daniel. Which surprised me.
I thought I told him that I was mora. We even had an P.E. class were all k did was just turning into shadows. Is he that blind...well better ever then never they say.
"No shit Sherlock! What did you thought Nolan is?"
Daniel looked a little embarrassed, but said:
"Well I thought that there is only around 20 moras in the whole world and just didn't assume that you could be one of them. Sorry."
I waved him of as 'don't sweat it' gesture.
"Don't worry. I should've tell you before, but you sure are blind if you didn't see me shift in P.E. class. And Ivy I will not use my powers for your weird ideas." Daniel looked even more embarrass then before. I would of tell him that it's okay again, but Ivy cut me of.
"Ohh yes, you will. You own me. I let you ride my back on our last shift so this is your payment."
"Aghhh, Mark help me there." I whined.
"Sorry bro, but I'm not ready to die, yet." Mark told me.
"OK, OK! Obviously I don't have a choice." with one last glare towards Ivy I disappeared into shadows.
No one can see me or sense me as a shadow so I didn't warry about those people seeing me.
I got into a house and started listening to their conversation.
There were 2 tall man. From what I sensed one is half-dragon and other is merman.
It must be important because merfolks only go out of water when necessary. They would never leave the water without a reason.
They talked in very hushed tones so I needed to get a little bit closer.
At first, I didn't get what are they talking about, but then I heard a sentence that turned my world upside down.
"If those things found the way to get other creatures in their "colt" there will be a very big war and if that happens, we don't have a high chance of winning!"
I froze.
