The sound of crashing thunder startles me awake, I jump up and watch the pouring rain drip against the window. The forest beyond, shrouded in darkness with an ominous flash of lightning. The heavy smell of fresh rain spreads through the room thickly. The harsh winds shake the house, the old house noticeably colder. Water drips from the ceiling and pools in the corners of the room. The sky outside was noticeably getting lighter yet the storm did let up erging me to stay inside, yet I knew better. It was a terrible idea to stay in one place for too long.
I stand and approach the door slowly, staring at the pouring rain distastefully. I love the rain however knowing that I would be soaked with water discouraged me from leaving. I grip the door handle and let out a huge sigh, I push the door open and walk into the rain. Thunder rolls in the distance, the old house noticeably shudders. I walk west, away from the rising sun. The dark forest swallows me in the shadows. I walk at a past pace knowing that I have a long way to go before my next stop. I cautiously watch my surroundings and watch as the forest comes to life, frogs slowly appearing out of nothing and filling the air with loud croaking. The sound comforting me as I listen.
I wake up to the obnoxious beeping of my phone alarm. I get out of bed and groggily turn off my phone, yawning. Today I was going to go to my first day of uni. I am going to bed school, I want to help people in a way that doesn't require fighting. As well taught at fighting as I am I still dislike it very much.
It's been a long time since I've been in a school with humans. I am going to have to be careful.I glance out the window and see that the sun is barely peeking over the horizon, sending a pink and orange glow cascading across the city. The city still wide awake and bustling, almost as if nobody ever went to sleep.
I get up and go to the bathroom, brushing my teeth and washing my face. I stare in the mirror for a moment, I run a finger across the small scar on my cheek bone. Deciding against covering it o go back into the room and open the closet, I choose a simple white T-shirt with beige pants and a leather belt with a green jacket over the top with white sneakers. I'm going for a cute and casual looking outfit.
Once I'm ready I pull out my phone and search the directions to Lincoln University. I leave my apartment, locking the door behind me. As I walk towards the college I take note of the lightening sky and pink clouds, a soft breeze rushing through the city. All of the people around me on their phones, to sucked in to notice the beauty around them. The rush of the crowd is slightly overwhelming but the comfort of being surrounded by people is welcomed, it's been quite a while since I've been near so many people.
