It took a week or so before I was able to leave. Not that I was never allowed to, I'm just a naturally skittish and was afraid to see people. Forrest said that the best he could figure, was that we were naturally glamoured in the day. No one started taking notice of us until after dusk. Fortunately, with this city and the modifications of its people, we're just people who tried to change our appearance. Damien told me the rules of something called...oh what was it? I can't remember, but rules of being a vampire I guess. Something from "the old days," he called it.

A...anyway. I remember telling Forrest I was ready to feel the sun again, frightened as I was. The sun was supposed to be our natural weakness, right? That's what all the stories say. With my enhanced senses, it was overwhelming at first, but it didn't take long for its warmth to comfort me. I never thought I'd be so relieved to see the sun.

Forrest and Damien are a friend's characters that I renamed for these stories.
