Welcome to manic-depression. I absolutely refuse to polish this.
Wereluke: Luke Hemmings the Lycanthrope Hunter
Sweat dripped off of Luke’s hands like condensation off a cold can of cherry pepsi. He was stalking his prey, the first since the tragic incident that shaped his life forever. Luke had been a werewolf hunter ever since his father imbued him with the “Blessing” of lycanthropy at the age of thirteen. His father was his first target. Luke hated him with a burning passion, his hate fueled by the trust he felt moments before being bitten on the arm by his dad. Luke thought his father could never harm him, the man said as much in empty promises before the full moons when the disease took full control over him. Even when Luke’s dad bashed and scratched at his door, snarling and shouting profanity at him with such a visceral bloodlust, Luke always felt safe knowing that once the night passed, everything would be alright. But here they were, his father digging his sharp canines into Luke’s flesh, hot and sticky blood oozing out of the wound and dripping onto the shag carpet his mother bought to really tie the room together. What was once a gorgeous white rug that looked like it had been shaved off an angel’s wings, was now stained with a father’s betrayal of his son. Luke could have killed him there, it would have been so easy, just pull the silver knife out of the nightstand and thrust it into the werewolf’s neck. Let his blood swirl together with his son’s on the beautiful shag rug. That isn’t what happened though, Luke needed to wait. His father needed to see his son with intent to kill in his heart before such an act would be even remotely satisfying. Years passed, Luke became a recluse in the forests outside his home town of Sydney, (I guess, there are forests there, right?) hunting small animals with his heightened animalistic senses.  Soon, Luke was able to target and kill prey twice his size, his skill in combat honed alongside his primal instincts. He was ready.
Finally the day had come. It was a new moon, the time when lycanthropy was at its weakest. Luke would be no different this night as he would had he never been infected with this disease. Hemmings walked the empty streets of a satellite town near Sydney, the sound of cicadas masking his already unnaturally light footsteps. He looked up at a neon sign on one of the buildings. “Gold, Shit and Silver Pawn”. This would do. Luke extended his hand into the glass, creating a spiderweb of crystalline shards on the window of the establishment. Once again, the man swung his hand into the window, shattering it completely and leaving an entrance to the building. Luke entered the jagged hole, shaking the blood off of his hand and beginning to pick pieces of glass out of the wound. Once the new moon passed, his rapid healing would set in and it would be like tonight never happened. Hemmings strolled through the aisles of the shop, his eyes straining in the darkness due to his weakened state. His quarry glistened against Hemmings’ torchlight. Before him lay a 15th century silver tachi blade. This blade was being sold as a collector’s piece for individuals with an interest in Japanese swordsmanship history. The true history of this blade lay parallel to Luke’s current path, the sword was used by an elite group of samurai werewolf hunters hired and trained for the emperor’s protection. Tonight, it would serve as a weapon of vengeance.
Sweat dripped off of Luke’s hands like condensation off a cold can of cherry pepsi. He was stalking his prey, the first since the tragic incident that shaped his life forever. He watched his father’s chest rise and fall in his slumber, the man he hated so much was so vulnerable, but that wasn’t how this was going to happen. Luke swung the blade quickly to his side, never taking his eyes off of the man who infected him with his curse. The sound of silver clashing against ceramic shattered out through the home as a vase smashed into dozens of jagged pieces. Luke’s father sprang awake and began frantically searching the room in the darkness. His eyes finally found Luke’s shape, barely a shadow in the dim candlelight permeating from the nightstand. The shadow grew closer and angrier, the blade reflecting both the candle’s light and Luke’s rage and hatred. Fear took the father’s eyes before the short and lethal sound of the tachi entering flesh and bone sang out. Luke stared silently into his father’s eyes as blood ran onto the bed. Small sprays of crimson spurted forth from the man’s mouth as he tried to speak. It was useless. The silver of the blade finished its job of burning away the lycanthropic curse that would have otherwise kept him alive while the nature of the sword burned away any chance of the father’s survival. As Luke’s father breathed his last, Luke had only one more target. Hemmings closed his eyes tightly as he turned the blade on himself.

As the youngest New York City Councilman ever, he was rubbing elbows with the political elite, attending star-studded parties and was the pride of Queens. But instead of spending his time in office helping the people that got him elected, he lost his way amidst the power and glamour of politics. When his downward spiral got him busted for public intoxication (and downright stupidity), it was all caught on tape and ended his career. Now, Garrett’s crashing with his sister, Mallory, and wondering where it all went wrong. That is, until he’s hired by a diverse group of hopefuls who dream of becoming American citizens and believe he can help – giving him a new sense of purpose and a chance for redemption, as long as he remembers where he came from.
