*** More scenes from other people as the reveal was happening. ***
*~~* London, England *~~* (Third Person POV)
Whitney Moore was sitting in her favorite pub when a broadcast came over the telly. It was an American broadcast that was happening live at the moment. Where Whitney was, in London, it was after seven in the evening, but wherever it was on the broadcast was around midday. The patron of the pub had been watching a football match when the interruption had occurred.
“Oi, what is this?” A man across the pub yelled out when the broadcast started. Whitney ignored it, focusing on what was being said at the moment. She knew that this was going to happen today, but she hadn’t known exactly when it was going to happen.
‘This is it.’ She thought to herself as she looked at the screen. ‘This is what they warned us about.’
“Put the match back on!” Another patron shouted as the channel on the telly was changed again and again. It was then that the others noticed the same message coming through on their mobiles. They were not able to get away from this broadcast no matter what.
Listening to those around her and watching the telly at the same time, Whitney was getting nervous. She wasn’t the only werewolf in this pub at the moment, but there were a lot of humans here as well. All of them sat there nervously as Queen Trinity revealed their existence to the world. Whitney was just glad that they weren’t going to know what her name was, they weren’t exposing people individually so that they could all keep their anonymity.
“What is this? They tell us that half the blokes in the world are not human? Yeah, we know that already.” A patron called out. “I have know that since I was a wee lad. Me best bloke in primary was a werewolf. Why is this news? Put my match back on.”
“Yeah, I knows it too.” Another man with a thick Irish accent called out so that Whitney and the other wolves in the pub could hear him. “Half me village back home is not human. We all know about them.”
…..
“Is that so?” A young lad of about eighteen called out to the two men.
“You just leaning this now, boy?” The first man called out.
“Ai. I never knew there was werewolves in the world.”
“Get ya facts, boys. They been livin here for longer then we have.”
Whitney, as well as the others, felt a proud rush of relief. There were already so many people that knew about them here, and they accepted them too. It was easier for them to relax now, and to enjoy the drinks that they had ordered when they arrived. Now that they didn’t have to worry about the world turning on them that is.
*~~* New York City *~~* (Third Person POV)
The two news anchors for the afternoon news were in the middle of a story about the local Christmas light displays and the best places to go with your family. At this time in the day, unless there was a breaking news story, they usually talked about the more mundane and often positive things in the world. At least that has been how it was for the last fifteen years or so. Ever since the fake news epidemic that hit the airwaves in the twenty tens and the twenty twenties.
The way things were now was definitely preferrable to how they used to be. That was something that Tinley Fraiser could fully attest to. She had supposedly been in her early twenties when things started to hit the fan back then, and she was just starting out in her journalism career. Thankfully, she still held her position at the station, though she was no longer a lowly intern that got more coffee than actual experience. Now, she was a news anchor that broadcast on a daily basis.
Sitting next to Tinley was her cohost, Ryan Decker. The two had been cohosting this segment of the news together for eight years now, they were staples of the show that everyone was familiar with and loved. They were actually quite popular when hosting together, and the viewer counter during their time hosting together had improved drastically over the years.
Those behind the camera were certain that it all had to do with Tinley’s ethereal beauty that just seemed to radiate through the camera and captivate men and women alike. No one had ever complained about her being on the show before, and they never expected that they would.
As the two were talking about the twinkling and festive lights around the city, an emergency broadcast took over the station. This sort of thing didn’t happen often, but when it did, the network knew just what to do. They allowed the broadcast to continue, but they were able to superimpose a small square into the corner of the screen. This was to allow the news anchors to continue broadcasting. Only now, they would be talking about what was happening on the screen rather than the festivities of the holidays.
They were almost stunned into silence as the images on the screen continued to unfold the story for them. There hadn’t really been much for Tinley and Ryan to say about it, they just murmured words every now and then that told the audience that this was as new to them as it was to the rest of the world.
When the woman on the screen, Trinity Gray, turned into various animals, the shock in the room was almost to a boiling point. And then, when there was an announcement that there were rioters that were attacking the stadium that the broadcast was coming from, the reporting was starting to actually get more intense.
“I..it looks like there are people attacking the spectators and hosts of this event.” Ryan, who was stunned at what he was seeing, stuttered for just a moment. “These people are supposed to be a mixture of humans and nonhumans, but the rioters don’t seem to care. It appears as if they are going to attack everyone that is there, no matter what they are.”
“This is a truly terrifying scene, Ryan. The looks of panic on those people’s faces, it hard to watch. I am glad that Mrs. Gray is there to help them. Look at that. She is opening a magical door to take them to safety.”
“Is she, though? Or is she taking them somewhere else that will put them into danger?”
“I am sure that she is trying to help them, Ryan.” Tinley looked slightly annoyed at her cohost. “Sources are also confirming that these events are happening in real time in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The police have assured us that they are already on their way to the scene of the crime. What I do not understand though, is why they are attacking in the first place. No one has done anything to them.”
“Why are they attacking? Are you serious, Tinley? If what they are saying is true, then we’re all in danger. These monsters are among us, and now they are going to start attacking people left and right. None of us are safe.”
“Really now, Ryan, do you really think that I am going to attack you now just because you found out that super naturals are real?”

“I am not talking about you, Tinley. I am talking about those monsters.” The male cohost looked panicked as he spoke, not understanding what she was trying to tell him.
“Ryan, I will repeat what I just said and I want you to pay attention this time. Do you really think that I am going to attack you now just because you found out that super naturals are real?”
“Tinley, what do you have to do with-.” At that moment he stopped speaking, the realization dawning on him as he processed Tinley’s words. “Y..y..you’re not human?”
“No Ryan, I am not. And I have been this way for a lot longer than I was human. I have never hurt you, nor have I ever hurt another human in this world. I am not a monster, Ryan. I am what I am, but that doesn’t make me a bad person.”
“Tinley?” One of the producers called for her off screen. “What are you?”
“That is impolite to ask, Jessica, but I will tell you anyway. I am a Vampire. And no, none of the Hollywood stereotypes are true. I drink blood, but that is not the only way to sustain me. I love to eat food. Garlic does not affect me, and neither does the sun. I am not affected by crosses or any other religious symbols. I am just a person, like you. However, I am one hundred and seven years old, and I will continue to live for a long time still.” She smiled at the others and proudly proclaimed what she was. She knew that she wasn’t the only nonhuman on the staff here at the station, but it wasn’t her place to out the others.
“I can’t believe this, Tinley.” Ryan gaped at her. “I had you over to my house. I have vacationed with you and your husband. We have known each other for so long.”
“And that is my point, Ryan. We have always been here. I have always been what I am. So, following the reasoning of logic, wouldn’t you think that we would continue to live the way that we have always lived? The supernatural beings are not going to just start attacking you just because you know about them. We will continue to live our lives like we always have.”
“I..I don’t know what to say.” Ryan looked at the camera as he processed his cohost’s words. “This is all a little much to take in all at once.”
“I hope you will listen to your heart, Ryan, and not your fear. The supernatural beings have been here as long as humans have. We aren’t dangerous. And we aren’t trying to take over the world. Queen Trinity there just wants us to live in peace, but she knew that it was time to stop hiding from the world.”
“Queen Trinity? So, she is your queen? I won’t be ruled by her. I don’t live in a monarchy.”
“No, she isn’t my queen. Actually, the ruler of my people is there on the screen. That man in the back, Dietrich Conrad, that is my king. He used to have an honorary title that was actually a rank above what he has now. But that was just something that we gave him because he was the best ruler of our people that there had ever been. He was once known as Emperor, but now he is King Dietrich. He is an amazing man.” Tinley was singing the praises of her people, and it was clear that she meant it all, every word.
“Y..you’re really over a hundred?” Ryan looked at her in awe. Apparently, he was getting over his initial fear.
“That’s right. It’s exciting, isn’t it?”
“Wow. I can’t believe it.” Ryan shook his head. “Well folks, you heard it here. There are nonhumans that live among us, and work among us.” Ryan looked at her once more, a smile on his face. “And they are not out to hurt us. They are people that we have known for a long time. And while I understand that fear is a go to response in the beginning, I don’t think that we have anything to be afraid of. At least I know that I don’t. Tinley here is a good friend of mine, and if she is vouching for the rest of them all, then I believe it too. I say we accept this news as something momentous, and move on with a new understanding of the world that we live in.”
Tinley, and all the other nonhumans that were watching the broadcast, felt a lot better about the situation with those words coming from Ryan at the moment.
