In this world, only two life forms exist: Monsters and humans. But on rare occasions, there is one more, one that only comes to be every five years and is the only help that mankind has against the monsters that roam among us. Once human yet cursed by the aura (toxic fumes) left behind by the monsters.
These fumes intoxicate newborn babies and cause abnormal changes in them, causing them to go from normal to abnormal in just a few days after their birth. What we can’t explain though, is why it only happens every five years and why only five out of hundreds of newborns are affected.
Once the world found out about this, the government had a law passed; stating that “All babies born of abnormalities be no longer classed as humans but be called by a new name; Nors.”
And so it began, that’s it, that’s all I have for you today. If you wish to ask me any personal questions you can meet me by my desk, and I’ll do my best to answer you.
Remember, this lecture will have a quiz next week, so please study. I’m so tired of correcting papers, that only have sad faces drawn on them, whuhhh; what a pain.
“Excuse me, professor?”
“Yes, Rose. Tell me, what did you think of my lecture?”

“Well, professor, I am honored that you invited me to your class, but hearing about, you know like that. It gives me a bad feeling in my body. I wanted to leave the room the first chance I got.”
“But you didn’t. You stayed and you listened. Listen, Rose. What you felt that bad feeling in your body, was hate. You hated every minute of that lecture because it was about you, your friends, and the people you’re close to.
You can’t live a normal life or be in a classroom without wearing your hood and covering your face. Once people know who you are they will treat you differently, they shun you and they become scared of you.”
“Then why, why did you ask me to come here?”
“I asked you to come here, because, unlike the others who are just like you, they don’t get to see us humans in our natural habitat. They’re all locked up because they can’t control their abilities. You on the other hand Rose are what we scientists call a prodigy.
You never have problems controlling your abilities. And you always stay calm even in situations like these.
I just wanted you to see for yourself. What I and every other scientist like me, have to teach human minds.
The government prevents us from telling the truth, for instance, yes, it is true that you all aren’t technically human by the law standards, but genes never lie and all Nor’s makeup is human. You have abilities, but they don’t affect your genetic makeup.
If we scientists were to reveal that to the public, it would cause war, and all our families would be killed in the process. We are collard by the law and by the government who made the law,”
“So, why professor, why tell me this now? What would this information do for me?”
“I’ve decided to help you that’s why. Rose, I don’t have much time in the world left so, I promised myself that the last thing I do before I die would be to help you and your people live a good life.”
