Somewhere in a city on the sixth floor of a building there's an albino girl who looks about 16 years old standing at a window.
'sigh I can't take this anymore. No one's coming to save me' she thought.
She doesn't have a name her adoptive parents never bothered with it. Opting to call her Check since that was all she was. A check from the government. Over the years since she was about 4 she was a check and a punching bag. They knew they were adopting a vampire but did it anyways and refused to feed her blood she needed saying that.
"If your going to eat that disgusting SHIT you better get it your self! We're not going to waste OUR money on that when there's wild rodents in the house you can eat!"
So for 12 years she was beaten, denied education, denied medical treatment, and was only allowed to sleep in the cramped crawlspace like attic. Finally she snapped even after 12years she still held out hope that someone would come ,but not anymore, not after she heard their guests talking about her and her "parents" bragging about their "Check" ,and the guests laughing.
She decided that her only way out was death. She may have great regenerative abilities, but with the malnutrition and the abuse she no longer had the strength to use them. So a six story drop should be fatal. She climbed to the window sill, closed her blood red eyes, and jumped bracing for the pain.
She opened her eyes in a daze. Confused she looks trying to get her bearings.
"Strange. I should be dead." She says in a weak almost unheard voice.
She's climbs up higher in the tree but sees no buildings or roads in sight. Realizing that there's no one around she finally breathes a sigh of relief. At least here there is no one to be able to hurt her like her "family" did. Just then her stomach made a 'peng' and growled incessantly. She hasn't eaten or drank blood in over a week.
Around this time she would usually be searching for rats or mice in the Attic. So she climbed down the tree and started hunting looking for anything she could that is of sustenance to her. She hears a rustling in the bushes a distance away. Creeping over slowly and finds a squirrel searching for nuts in the undergrowth. The squirrel hasn't seen her yet
'okay it's all or nothing just gotta be careful' she thought.
She poses in a pouncing position that she has copied from the street cats. Hands forward, chest down, legs bent and taut ready to spring. The squirrel moves closer with it's back away from her. She pounced. The squirrel didn't have a chance to react before her fangs were sunk into its neck. Immediately she made a break for the nearest tree and climbed up.
'i don't want to risk attracting any predators with the smell of blood'
Sitting in the tree she drains the squirrel of blood and tears it open discarding the bones and skin that she can't digest eating meat organs and all. Tiredly she stretches out on the thick tree limb and falls asleep.
Somewhere not far from the little albino girl sat a man with skin as pure as porcelain and hair and dark and a starless night sky. He had watched the girl hunt the squirrel in pity.
"The poor female had to use so much strength just to catch a rat" the man said in a pained voice.
The man stood up and walked to the tree the girl fell asleep in and climbed up easily and held her into his arms and carried her to his cave a distance away.
Sometime later the girl woke up and looked around horrified.
'This isn't where I fell asleep! Did they find me?! Are they gonna take me back to that hell hole?! No! No! No! I don't wanna go back!' she thought and started crying.
Just then a man rushed into her view
"Oh no! Why are you crying!? Are you hurt!?" The man said in a worried and pained voice and immediately started checking her for injuries.
"Yo-your n-not g-gonna send me b-back?" She said with a weak voice tears still streaming down her cheeks.
"Send you back where? I promise I won't do anything to hurt you." The man said in a gentle voice holding her hand the man smiled "My name is Orion. What's yours female"
The girl looked at him confused. "No name. Not worthy of it." The girl stated matter-of-factly
Orion looked at her and sighed 'what kind of parents don't even name their daughter? Don't they know how rare females are!?'
"Okay then let's call you.....Alba! Since your skin is as white as fresh snow fall and your eyes are as red as blood!"
When Orion said 'blood' Alba flinched. 'oh no does he know!? Is he gonna beat me too?' Her stomach then decided to make it's hunger known before Alba could ask any questions. He stood up and clapped his hands "You must be hungry! Stay here I'll go hunt something!" He then turned into a 30ft Moccasin and slithered out of the cave.
