"Abigail, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Adrianne got stunned in place, hearing Aella on her side. She was sitting on the balcony, outside their room. Each room in the building that the kids were staying had a separate balcony.
"I can't sleep," Taking a deep breath, she looked at the visible bright moon in the sky. It's the third full moon of the year. The first this month. It was folklore in Quirenne that a beast will show up every fourth full moon of the year.
It's funny to think that it was the fourth full moon of the year when she was born. A beast… was she a beast? Or… did she become one?
"You know Abigail, I already want to go back to my parents. It's so lonely here. We can't go outside. We need to follow what they say or else we will be punished. And those vampires, they think mighty of themselves. Like we're not part of them because we grew up in another world."
