South

The southern part of the city has a chic family-oriented sort of charm to it. Here, small locally owned shops run rampant, neighbors often know each other by name, and the monthly socials are an event not to be missed. In the South, children can often be seen safely playing in the park or on sidewalks and in the weekends, families often take to the beach to enjoy the warm waters surrounding the city.

Ascension Center of Equitation

The Ascension Center of Equitation is the epicenter of the Dark Hunter Cavalry Unit. Originally a high-class facility for show-jumping, Ascension now caters entirely to the Cavalry Unit. Here the Dark Hunters learn how to ride and fight upon the backs of horses - many of which are Were's themselves.

Hyde Park

Hyde Place takes up a large part of the Southern side of the city and includes a large playground, several fountains, and a small garden. The park is open from five in the morning till midnight though many shady characters may visit this place while it's technically "closed". The park has also been a venue for several concerts and hosts many holiday-related events. Under a full moon, witches are often seen here for the sacred ground beneath the iconic Weeping Beech.

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

The Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (PDZA) is an award-winning combined zoo and aquarium located within the Southern Part of Sacrosanct. Situated on 92 acres in Sacrosanct's Hyde Park, the zoo and aquarium are home to over 9,000 specimens representing 367 animal species. Point Defiance is also widely known for its conversation efforts regarding the breed and release program of Red Wolves.

The Outskirts

Beyond the city limits and over the bridge lies the deep, dark, and almost impenetrable forest. Often seen as a way to guard this magical city against the world that surrounds it, many are entirely ignorant of the evil that may creep between those tree trunks. Many were-creatures use the forest for the transformations of their newest members and some even take to hunting here. It isn't particularly peculiar for people to go missing within this forest but once you get through, the rest of the world awaits.

The University of Sacrosanct

The University of Sacrosanct offers some of the top programs in the nation with its outstanding campus and specialized faculty. The University places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world. The University welcomes the talent of students across the world to enroll and unlock their unlimited potential. With applications from across the nation, classes fill up quickly.

i'm not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

As she remained pinned there against a tree, her hazy mind slowly began to churn as she attempted to figure out why she was here in the first place. His artic-blue eyes did not seem familiar. Even though she tried terribly hard to figure who's eyes they belonged to she came up with zero results. While he shifted slightly away from her, his entire focus on her left hand, her eyebrows furrowed as she desperately tried to figure out why she was even stuck here in the first place. As always she could hear the faint whisper of the baritone masculine voice that whispered Birdie over and over again, the confused girl slowly putting together the pieces. She knows her nickname, she knows what it means, and yet who it belongs to, she has no idea. As Sebastian continues to focus on her left hand, she notices how he seems to rub his fingers together, with nothing but air between them, puzzled as to why he would be doing such a thing. All of a sudden the image of the man with the changing eyes appears, for a moment they are the typical shiny onyx color staring at her with zero feeling, but slowly it began to change into a dark-golden hue. His lips would turn upwards and the familiar boyish grin caused the meek girl to smile for a moment, and slowly she realized she knew exactly who he was all along. He was her best friend, he was her companion, he was the one male she loved, and knew, that he loved her back. She was taken, she was vouched for, and for some unexplainable reason he was not here.


Blue-grey eyes saw Sebastian in a different light. She no longer saw the blonde as such a handsome figure. No longer did he appear to be charming. His body pinning her to a tree was no longer a satisfaction feeling, rather it was suffocating. Finally it would seem that his hold on her was her. Instant panic began to flood through her, as her eyes widen in realization. She was pinned, against a tree, with a strange male that had touched her, and kissed her, in so many ways that was not permitted â€" ever. She was wary of others, especially males, and somehow she managed to get herself trapped in this position. She was worried, worried, because even though she was being held against her will, being kissed in a way that she shouldn't have been nor truly wanted, she had cheated on the one male she loved. Oh, how could she have forgotten! She couldn't explain why or how, but she knew it was wrong and she knew how to end it. Still stuck in her fight vs flight mode, she raise her hand, the male still interested in her left hand, hardly realizing what was about to happen to him. With as much speed as she could muster Raven slapped the vampire across his face, a loud sickening bang, of her hand smacking his face echoed within the park. With her teeth clenched she roughly shoved the man off her, with her telekinesis, standing herself up from the giant oak tree, glaring at him with absolute hate, and yet it wasn't hard to see the fear in her eyes. Her voice was raised as yelled at the man, using the back of her hand to wipe over her lips, in a sign of wiping away the feeling of his lips on her.


"How dare you kiss me! You shouldn't kiss random strangers like that! I...I'm already taken and you...you made me cheat on him. I don't know who you are, but I don't want to see you again."


Taking another step away from the tree she used her telekinesis to shove the vampire into a nearby tree, allowing herself to shift, preferring to be in her wolf form should he wish to attack. With her tail lowered and her ears tucked back tightly against her skull, she whimpered softly as she bolted straight for the wooded part of the park. The farther she ran from the vampire the clearer her mind became. Who he was she had no clue, but she hoped to never get caught in that predicament again. She sought the comfort of her companion dreading for what she would have to tell him that happened here.
