As I made my way to the mouth of the cave, I made myself walk normal so that they wouldn't be able to see the pain I was in. The last thing I wanted was for them to think I was a pushover. I needed Cujo to get me those herbs, and I needed them now. But, it was too dark out to see the right herbs from the wrong ones.
"I'm not going ANYWHERE near that girl!" I heard Deichi yell loud enough so I could hear him. He settled down and curled up as a fox against a tree.
"I'm not keeping you here!" I yelled back, my hands curled up into fists at my side as I glared at him. I wanted so much to kill him right here and now. But, I didn't have the strength. Once I was at my fullest strength, if he persisted of annoying me, I would have to eradicate him and with great pleasure.
Phyllis walked over to my side, placing a hand on my shoulder, as if telling me to calm down. I took a deep breath and walked into the forest. I needed to get some distance. "Where are you going?" Phyllis asked, concern in her voice.
"I'll be back!" I called over my shoulder, though I didn't turn around. I needed to do something to vent my anger and frustration. I found a lake and sat at the edge, peering at my reflection. I was a frustrated vampire. I wanted to kill something, and there was no one around. The form I was in was angered easily. I needed to morph to someone a little calmer.
I morphed into a sweet, innocent human teenager. One whose greatest problem was worrying about acne or what they were going to wear to school. I shook my head. This girl was my age, and yet I had done things many never completed in their lifetimes.
The pain in my shoulder was getting worse by the second, I pulled down the collar of shirt to get a better look at it. It was turning a dark black, as though it was decaying. Whenever I touched it, the pain only intensified, making me want to cry out, though I refused to utter a sound.
I needed to change back into the vampire form again. I morphed back into the one I had been previously. I would have to deal with the anger. I hoped that no one would get too suspicious that I have been in the same form for so long, as I have never before stayed in one form for this long when I was trying to escape.
I got up and went back to the cave, passed Deichi, Cujo, and Phyllis. I made my way to the farthest point of the cave and curled up on the floor, though sleep eluded me. I knew sleep would not come as I had not had a decent nights sleep since before my parents died.
