1123 Chapter 108- Various – Super Natural Appreciation Convention Part 3 (VOLUME 6)

*** In these chapters, the POV will switch depending on who the main focus is. There will be views from Trinity and Reece’s staff, convention attendees, and DOE infiltrators. There is a lot of information that is to be had in these chapters, but some fun as well. And as a result of the multiple POV, they will all be in a third person POV. ***

Camden Gaines didn’t know why he was even at this convention. He didn’t like the idea of the nonhumans that were in the world. He thought that having people that were monsters around them would make the world descend into chaos. He thought that things would be better off if they were gone. Or so he told himself.

He knew that the people had been here for as long as he had, and most of them a lot longer. Camden was twenty-eight years old, and if you listened to the tabloids and other news outlets, Trinity Gray, Queen of these nonhuman people, was almost forty. She only looked twenty or twenty-two, give or take a year or two. And there were plenty more that were older than her.

They had been here all along, since the dawn of time most likely. And the world, while far from perfect, wasn’t going to hell in a hand basket yet. And he was pretty sure that the people that were ruining this world, weren’t the super naturals. Nope, the humans were pretty good at doing those things on their own, they didn’t need help from the nonhuman community.

Still, he wasn’t sure why he was here. He wasn’t a sympathizer. He wasn’t a supporter. At best he was on the fence and wondering which direction he needed to tip so that he could topple to one side. And that just about made up the entirety of Camden’s issues for the day.

He was trying his best to learn new things about the people that he now knew about, even if they were still the same people that he had known all this time. He had even found out through confidence with a coworker that he was friendly with that the man was a nonhuman. He was a warlock, someone that used magic. And in Camden’s eyes, that was just something that was fictional.

Not only that, but a lot of ‘warlocks’ in books, movies, and television were not nice people. They were the bad guys, and that made Camden start to wonder about his coworker. However, Bradly had been a good person, and maybe even a friend until the moment that Camden learned the truth about him.

Since that day, that revelation from Bradly, Camden couldn’t bring himself to be alone with the guy like he used to. He didn’t tell anyone about the secret that he had learned, but he was still not sure what to do either.

“I just want to know what to do.” Camden sighed to himself as he left one seminar that was happening and started to search for another one. “This whole convention would be better if they had some of the nonhumans here to help explain some things.”

.....

It had all been a little too confusing that day when they revealed it all online. Well, that had been where Camden had seen it. He had been playing a game on his phone when all of a sudden, this news bulletin came over his screen and he couldn’t exit out of it. He and the entire world were practically forced to watch as the truth came out that day.

“Out of my way.” An angry sounding man was barreling through a group of people as he made his way through the gathered crowds. “Move it, asshole.” The man had dark eyes and a scowl that could frighten little children.

“Watch it!” Someone snapped at him as he almost knocked them over.

“What is your problem, asshole?” A woman glared after him.

“Hey!” A boy of about fourteen or fifteen fell to his bottom as the man continued on.

“What is wrong with him?” Someone asked as they helped the kid to his feet.

Camden was watching them and knew that something was not right. He was trying to figure out what was different about this person. Was he not human? Was he one of the nonhumans that these people were here to idolize and worship? Was he angry that these people were misappropriating his people or whatever it is that they considered it? What was going on, Camden wished that he knew.

The man was coming toward him, not looking like he was going to move at all. He was going to plow right into him if he didn’t move. Camden wasn’t going to let the guy hit him though, he wasn’t that much of a pushover after all.

“Hey, move, he isn’t going to stop.” Camden said as he stepped aside and warned the others that were near him.

However, before Camden could even take a step, someone had gotten angry and reached for the man that was treating the people like they were his personal sidewalk or stepping stones.

“Hey, wait right there.” A large man with fake wolf ears on his head grabbed the man’s backpack that was slung over his shoulder. “What do you think you’re doing?”

The man hadn’t wanted to stop though, and the conflicting momentums caused the fabric that the wolfish man had grabbed to rip almost instantly. That was when all hell broke loose. Camden watched as a device slid part of the way out of the bag. A device that was instantly recognizable.

“He’s got a bomb!” The man that had helped the kid to his feet yelled out in shock.

Everyone that had heard the declaration started to scream and run away as soon as they could. All except for Camden who seemed to be frozen in place and the wolfish man that had grabbed onto the bag. He was either brave or too afraid to let go because the bomb might fall.

“What the hell is going on?” The wolfish man asked in a slightly higher pitch than before.

“Isn’t it obvious?” The asshole with the backpack asked in a deadpan tone. “We’re going to get rid of all of you. All the nonhumans and all of their supporters.” The man must have been one of those DOE members that were on the news recently. They were a group that hated the super naturals and wanted to kill them all. They were also the type of people that would kill Camden on sight, just because he wasn’t like them. Fuck!

*~~!~~**~~!~~**~~!~~*

Javier was not far from the commotion when the screams rent the air. He heard the sounds of the altercation, specifically the man that was barreling through the crowd like a battering ram, and then the sounds of someone stopping him. Javier had been keeping an eye on him from a distance because he was making his way toward him and that gave him a good opportunity. He had a bad feeling about that man.

“He’s got a bomb!” The shouted words had sent the people in the immediate area panicking and running in different directions for the exits. They wanted to get as far away from the man with the bomb as they possibly could.

“Shit!” Javier whispered under his breath. “Now there will be a lot of panic and mass hysteria.” He was already running toward the scene when he saw that there were others making their way toward them as well.

“Hey, you!” Zita called out as she ran toward the scene. There were two humans that seemed to be frozen in place with the potential bomber. One of them was holding onto the bag that the bomb was in, so it was best if he didn’t move at all, but the other one was just standing there and watching the situation with open mouthed and wide eyed terror.

“Huh?” The man, finally, moved when he heard the slight hissing tone in the feline woman’s voice.

“Watch out!” Zita was already jumping into the air and leaping over the man. At the same time, she caught something in the air that Javier had not yet seen. And as she did that, Emelia, a Falcon shifter that had partially shifted, the bird people’s version of a Lycan form, swooped in and caught something else.

At the next moment, Javier saw that both women had a backpack that was clutched tight to their chests. However, while Zita was landing lightly on the ground, Emelia was flying a little higher, toward the rafters that were above the stadium floor. When he looked up, Javier saw that there were two people high on the rafter, running in opposite directions. Emelia was heading toward one of them, and Tim was going after the other. Tim was an Eagle Shifter that had really good eyesight.

“You’re not getting away.” Tim snarled at him.

“I got this one.” Emelia did in fact have that man, as she swung her legs forward and gripped the back of his clothes with her long talons. This were-form of the bird people made it so that they had wings and talons, but were otherwise quite human looking. It made for an easy capture like this.

“Whoa!” The man that seemed to have been frozen called out when he saw the three saviors in action. He had watched Zita as she soared over him and caught the device before it hit the ground. “Y..y..you saved me.” He was looking at her with envy and awe.

“That’s why we’re here.” Zita had partially changed, similar to what Kiernan had done earlier. She had feline features and her claws were out. “You need to get out of here.”

“Y..you came here to save us?” The man looked like he wasn’t able to think much at the moment.

“We got word that there might be an attack today, so we’re here to save you humans. Please, get out of here, we will find the rest of the DOE members.”

“The DOE?” The man looked toward the would-be bomber that was just grinning maniacally.

“Our mission will see its end, even if it isn’t today, it will happen soon enough.”

“Y..y..yeah, O..O..OK.” finally the man nodded and started to run away, but he stopped after just a moment to look back at Zita. “Thank you. Y..y..you helped me more than you know today.” There was a smile on the man’s face when he started to run away.

“I am glad that I could help.” Zita’s sweet looking face, even when feline, helped to break the barrier between her and the man. He gave the calmest look that he had worn yet before he ran away toward one of the exits.

Javier saw that the man was gathering others that were staying behind as well. He was getting them out, but he didn’t have to do that. They would do it soon, too. There were fifteen of them after all.

“Here, I will set these ones here.” Zita said as she pulled the man from Emelia’s talons and set him next to the other man that she had taken from Tim right in front of Javier. “You there, are you OK?” She asked the human that was holding onto the bag still.

“Yes. I just wanted to help out. He was being really rude to everyone else.”

“We will take it from here.” Javier grinned excitedly at the man. They all knew that we were here now, so there was no need to hide anymore. That had been Queen Trinity’s rule. Hide while you can. Let the freak flag fly when the cat was out of the bag. Well, Zita and Emelia had definitely let that cat out.

With a look of pure excitement, Javier let his beast out of the bag as well. He wouldn’t do this if he didn’t have a bag stashed nearby with another set of clothes. However, since he did have those clothes on hand, he was able to shift into his full bear form.

Once shifted, Javier towered over them all. He was twelve feet tall in this form, and he was more than a little intimidating. Even so, he was still nothing when compared to his Alpha, Trevor. That was a bear that was a legend. He even managed to marry the Fae queen, talk about luck.

“Leave them with me, Zita, I will guard the prisoners.” Javier’s voice was a true growl now, almost unintelligible. She understood him though, and so had the humans that were standing nearby.

“Sir.” Zita told the man holding the backpack. “I will take the bag now. You can leave the stadium and get yourself to safety.”

“Y..y..yeah, OK.” The man was looking at Javier with eyes that were alight with joy. It was almost as if he had just seen Santa Claus on Christmas morning. “Y..y..you are amazing. All of you.”

“We’re just here to help.” Zita winked at him. “Go on now, let us do our job.”

“Yes, understood. Wow, this is awesome. I can’t believe that I got to meet true supers. This is the best day of my life.” The large man with the fake wolf ears ran from the building then, getting himself to safety.
