Each day I walk into the sunlight, cringing as it hit my pale skin. My human father looked at me with a concerned look in his eyes.
"Muriel. Are you alright..?" he asked, opening the driver door of the car.
"Yes.. I'm fine, just a bit bright outside." I replied, blinking my eyes and letting them adjust to the blinding light. I walked to the car and got in. It was time for my freshman year. In the state of Georgia..
"Don't worry, Muriel. It'll be fine." father said, switching the radio on and tuning in to the soft rock station.
"I know. I just miss Boston. It's not the same living in this rural area.." I said. He looked at me and smiled. I swallowed hard, the thirst scratching at my throat. With all the mortals I'd be around, I knew I had to be extremely cautious. I couldn't afford to make any hasty moves. It was already difficult to hide my true form in this world.
As we drove down the road, I watched a group of fledgling crows overhead. They reminded me of what life back in Daemona was like. Where I was Empress. My home..
"Dad.." I said, looking at him "You're picking me up from school today, right?"
"Yeah, it's Friday. I'm off work today." he said. I nodded and turned back around. In that case, I'd be able to hunt. There were plenty of deer and rabbits in my neighborhood. It would be no trouble catching them.
But I'd have to make a plan for how to deal with this on a daily basis. I had never felt this strong before..
