Inka's POV
Long ago when I was very little I was about 5 at the time my mum got me to 'bed', I quickly went to sleep my parents soon followed. Around midday we got invaded, my mum made sure I was safe.
While she and dad fought along with the rest of our family, I was hidden in the wardrobe in my room. I tried to stay asleep but the noise was so loud, so I stayed hidden until the noise ended, I slowly climbed out and went downstairs to find my dad trying to save my mum. He never told me what happened or who attacked until now.
Present Day
I was called into my dad's room, he sat me down and asked me "You remember when your mum died?" I replied "Yes, I mean kind of it was so long ago, dad," I said awkwardly. He goes on to say "Well I know I never told you anything about how she died, or who it was that killed her," I ask him "So who was it? and how did she die?". He takes a deep breath and tells me what happened, I then take off upset knowing our enemy the witches are the cause of my mother's death. Oh, I'll get my revenge I will kill every last witch no matter how long it takes, as I'm walking through the forest there's this boy who seems to be on his own too and looks kind of sad.
This boy walks up to me and starts talking as we take a seat, 'he's sad and trying to cheer me up?' he's weird yet sweet, I mean for a human. As I notice it's getting dark I have to get home before it happens, and yeah being a vampire means I can't be in the sun. If I do go out during the day I must have something covering me otherwise it burns it can kill us, so we have to be cautious during the day and because we live in the human world we've had to adapt to their way of life.
As I'm out the next day I see that boy, searching for me. I accidentally let myself be visible for him. then quickly disappear before his eyes when I realized. I hear him calling out searching for me.
At school I get bullied because I'm so white and am always covered unless there's no sun, I see this same boy approaching these girls and myself and gets them to stop by saying "stop bullying her!" With his arms crossed and giving the death stare, they then say "One weirdo standing up for the other?" they say as they start laughing.
"Come on, we got more important stuff to do than waste our time on these freaks," the 'Leader' says, before he can up to me I decide to take off so he can't find me.
The bell rings then he walks in through the classroom door, I try to hide in hopes he won't see me, but he does he walks in my direction but someone beats him to the seat so he's forced to sit next to someone else.
I guess you're wondering why, we haven't seen each other before, well you see it's the beginning of the school year and well we never actually had the same classes previous years. Yeah, we may go to the same school but this school has so many students that it's not funny, so it's not surprising we haven't met until now.
No matter what I do I just can't stop thinking about what my dad said about mum's death, I mean why did they just attack us like that? we've never had any problems with them in so long then they just attack? we had no problems previously because we've all stayed clear of each other.
'I must ask my father, this is driving me crazy' I arrive home, he doesn't seem to be home by my surprise, he arrives home the following night, so I ask him "Dad? why did the witches randomly attack us that day mum died?" He then says nervously "I'm not sure". I then say "Goodnight" and head off to bed, I just can't be bothered to ask more questions right now, I'm so exhausted.
The next few days fly by, despite how Edgar and I met I'm glad we did we're kind of similar in some weird way I just wish he was like me. I gotta tell myself 'you can't go there he's a human', 'I wish we didn't have to pretend we're humans.'
Why can't I be normal for a change?
