I Feel Like The Only One Of My Kind

Lone Wolf...
Sometimes, it can be difficult to be something that most do not believe or understand. You are constantly bombarded with claims that you cannot possibly exist, and to think otherwise means you are either an idiot or insane. It hurts enough to know that most do not believe in you or others like you. Suddenly, your family history and everything you do means absolutely nothing. You are not normal, so you are automatically evil and must be destroyed or locked away from society. Even for those that believe in what I am, there are many who think of us as monsters that would steal babies at night and kill without reason. Those who know we exist have done a good job of making most believe we do not exist and demonizing us so that, even if they knew, they would see us as mindless beasts and nothing more.
Many may read this with skeptical eyes and discount every word I say, judging before knowing who they judge and why they are even so quick to be close-minded. I have no solid proof of what I am, although I have been searching for it. Therefore, I cannot claim that we do exist. However, I do hope that there are those out there who would at least consider the possibility. And more importantly, I hope that those who do not believe realize that they most likely have no more proof that we don't exist than I do that we do exist.
If I could have one wish, It would be that my kind could be acknowledged by humans and accepted amongst them with little to no problems. In truth, it sounds like a foolish wish, but it never hurts to hope. I just don't want to feel so alone anymore. I cannot be myself because others would think me to be insane. I must reform to human society, even though it is difficult and I cannot help but be stubborn about it. I just wish you people out there would realize what all has been done to my kind. So many murdered for pointless reasons and then forgotten or covered up. And now we are forced to hide because exposure could be extremely dangerous. There are those of my kind that do not want humans to find out about us, but I do for a reason I cannot explain. I just believe it is time for the public to know, and hoepefully we will be accepted someday. Understand that, regardless of everything humans have done to me, my family and friends, I still hold out a hand and ask for friendship.
Grudges are pointless now, and I will gladly set aside every dark thing in my past for a chance to make my kind known to the public and have them be accepted. I hope that such a thing can happen. Then no longer will I have to see someone look at me strangely when I mention anything about what I am. No more lies and hatred.
As I said before, I cannot convince anyone of what I am. But people put enormous amounts of blind faith in things that may or may not be true, so all I ask is that people out there give me a chance. At least consider that it might be possible.

First off, I would never tell someone to "shut up" in such a place. I put this story here. In doing so, I accept the possibility that people may respond negatively or positively to it. Even the most insulting comments, I would accept because it allows me to learn how people view my claims and what kinds of people to look out for when speaking of such things. Nothing you have said, however, is offensive to me. Quite the contrary, you have been very kind and accepting; certainly qualities that a person who claims to be a "mythical creature" does not encounter often. On top of that, I do get many questions, but most are along the lines of "can you bite me?" or "can you change me?". I would enjoy questions that are a bit more substantial.

Lastly, I do thank you for your caring. I always hope for happiness, however I feel that a challenge is coming, and not one I will necessarilly want to face. Many I know feel that something bad is coming. I do not know what it is, but I have had the feeling for a few years now that, as strange as it may sound, I will be responsible for the protection of many lives in the future. Do not ask me to explain why. I have no idea. Whatever it is, if it is anything, I fear it and, in some ways, look forward to it.

I feel the same way Drachona.
