Hiding from vampires while looking for food to eat was really hard work. For survival sake, that's my present objective.
Scanning the area, there was a stream near by. Finally luck strikes. Where there is water there ought to be fishes. With that in mind I pick the sturdiness stick off the ground and sharpen it with a blunt pocket knife that seen too many rough days and went fishing.
It wasn't always like this but i was not born in the world where we had not yet learned of vampires existence.
Back home my mom movies and music.
Every day after training i would put one on fantaise about about world that was once peaceful and beautiful. When it was Christmas every home would be decorated with lights, Christmas trees and children would be outside in the cold either playing in the snow, making a snowman or lie in it making snow angels.
There was there Indian cultures where people would play holi with coloured water and powder or the lighting of deyas in the dark night without a care in the world. Its was all so so breath taking.
Though our village taught us to fight and defend our selves. I wasn't the best in all my classes from combat, cooking, languages. Women are not suppose to fight though we learn self defense we mostly stay and cook, clean and do laundry for the men and take care of sick or injured and care for children.
This is the time where everybody has to fight for their survival not sit at home waiting for the vampires to come kill us in our sleep so when the chance came to prove my self i did.
I 'allowed' the scientists to experimented on me. It worked all my senses were heighten but that did not come without excruciating pain.
Shuddering from the memory, the thousands of needles they inject into my body down to the core of my bones.
IThe fishes that were caught was cleaned in the stream as to not alert any vampires, cook them over the fire and basically gobbled them down and later suffered from belly aches.
Living in the grass looking at the sky, it was a hot sweaty one. Not far away the bushes rustled. Nearly catching whipflash from the rate at which my head turn only to see a bunny. Though cute, the fucking bunny nearly give me heartattack. Only then did I, caught scent of the dead and it came from my armpit. my face scrunched up from the how stink I smelt.
Quickly going out in the clearing which is filled with flowers. I pick a big bunch of flowers for my bath that is if i can find some where to shower.
Standing among the flowers i concentrate and scanned my surrounding for something i can use as a bathing source.
And i found what i was searching for and it even have a cave near by i could use for the night which is a bonus. I head west to where it was located.
For a second i could have swore i saw a shimmer, marking the spot where i saw it but when i got to it there was nothing not a shimmer or a glimmer, i thought it suspicious but kept moving.
Reaching the falls i had to stop, this place was beautiful. Around the waterfalls have small pink and purple flowers. About a yard from the waterfall had roses growing around them like a zigzag fence. The water even had a cave in it, a flat headed rock just above the water meeting the falling water and on the side of of the waterfall has sitting size rocks.
The water fall pond was clear, not a fish in it. Suprising I thought.
This place look romantic no that's not the right word its looks... erotic yes that it.
I ran to the pond throwing my small bag with clothes and flowers on the ground putting my hands in moaning at the sensation.
The coolness i feel alive its like when you have a flu your nose is block up and it suddenly clear up.
Lifting a handful of water to my mouth drinking quickly it was so refreshing drinking a few mouth full more it taste delicious or it could be for the fact that i haven't had a drop of water in two days.
I pick some roses from the bush pricking my finger.
I hiss in at shot of pain.
A tear drop blood fell on the ground and a flower burst out from the ground.
"What the fu.." I watch in shock can't understand what just happen. I can't in my widest dream figure that out so i continue with what i came to do.
Taking the petals off the roses one by one and throwing it in the pond and same with the other flowers as the last petal hit the water they glowed and i was hit with the scent of the roses i threw in.
Its like this pond is magical but 'how that be?' 'I probably over thinking this too much.'
I stripped and touch the water with my toe testing the temperature and it was cold. "Jess!"
I carefully and slowly stepping in so my body can adjust to the temperature wishing it was warm.
I feel my left finger tingling and raise it above water see what's wrong but its nothing like that it heal my finger!!!!
'Holy mother!! Its have to be magic there is nothing logical that can explain it.'
Checking my legs knowing i had scars on them.
'It- its gone!'
I watch in shock but then again why should i be, with all the mysterious things that's been happening since i got here.
Swimming to the falling water. I sat on the rock naked as the day i was born, washing my hair scrubbing my skin and washing my dirty clothes.
I stay under the falling water. I don't know why but i feel safe. Despite the water is cold its still soothing and comforting.
Waiting another minute or two i slip down gently in the water, the back of the rock was rough against my hand curious as i am i bend my head to see it.
Rubbing my hand over it i saw gems. All different colour and incredibly beautiful gems grazing my finger lightly over.
It glow as did the rest and in the cave top. They sparkle creating soft light as it reflects in the water and after a long moment slowly the light in the gems start fading.
I was right this place does give off an erotic feeling I can just imagine me and my lover kissing and making love in here as the falling water provided us privacy and the lights from the gems giving the place romantic look. i am in love with this place and i have not been here long, about what, say two hours the most.
But its not like anybody can find a lover and live peacefully. I can't imagine or even want to bring a child in this world so that kills the mood.
Unfortunately I have to finish my bath and get settled for the night.
I wipe the excess water off my skin and get dress.
Carrying the wet clothes to the rocks by the bank of the pond i clean the lichen with my hand to put my clothes to dry, rubbing it i see something like a writing.
Cleaning it properly so i can read it. "MYSTIC FALLS" i guess that the name of this place. The name really does suit this place it is really mystique here.
'Uh who would have thought to engrave it's name on rock so neatly?' No time to waste on a simple name. I gather small pieces of wood i can find to make fire, filling my water pouch for when i am thirsty.
I went over to the cave to see its condition, on top have the same gems like the falls they lit up as i step in creating light for me to see. They are like sensors.
Its warm inside here unlike the other caves, how unusual but then again nothing about this place is normal. So putting aside the woods there is no need for fire if the cave is already warm, right.
I went back out to gather some grass and my bag to make a bed. Going back setting up everything i need, let's see:
water (check)
Bed (check)
Warmth (check)
Looking around for bugs
No bugs (check)
I drag (more like slide) the door shut leaving a inch space for oxygen to get in.
'Heyy i don't want to die so quickly.' It was already late and with the help of the glowing gems i made my way to my once again new bed.
Trying to get comfortable, i have successfully gain refuge at Mystic falls. And my lasted wish came true. Sleep was granted within minutes. Dreaming of my mother.
