My eyes slowly opened my vision, still blurry from sleep. I feel the carriage shake and the wheels bump around on the poorly cobbled roads. My head was cushioned by my aunts lap, softening the blows from my unstable sleeping spot. I should probably clarify that my aunt isn't related to me by blood, vampires would call them their shadows, which is something I should really get used to no matter how awkward it feels. Yeah, I really should get used to the terminology If I want to blend in in this new 'school', I stick out like a sore thumb anyway, so I shouldn't make myself seem any weirder.
" You're awake," I hear a voice say from above me i really should get over this thinking instead of speaking thing, I sat up nodding. "We're almost there" she said but I was to trapped up in my head to listen "what should I call you" I asked "what you've always called me Allison and I shall call you lady y/n seen as you are the only living pure blood of the clan youare technically my master" she said. I stiffled my laugh as best I could she raised me and was my guardian, I don't think I could boss her around no matter how much I wanted to at times. The way she spoke as if all of this was the easiest thing in the world reminded me how difficult everything was going to be from now on. Allison was worrying. She spole in short sentences when she was like this, which made this awfully long journey feel even more tiring coated in silence.
It's not like I didn't understand, I understood perfectly why her Amber eyes had darkened with sadness I mean she's putting the only person she has left to care for ,a human, on a boat with a bunch of vampires it's like dangling a mouse infront of a snake. I mean, you'd be a little concerned too. I think she worries too much. i mean, it's not like I'm fully human well sure I have a beating heart and warm blood and well emotions, but I can do vampire stuff too! I move fast; I have an insanely strong punch(if you don't believe me, ask the poor training dummy at our old house), and I can access my parents' powers. They were two of the most powerful clan leaders, after all, and I think they'd be proud of how much control I have AND... And, I'm doing it again the overthinking thing.
Well, I can work on that and learn about  vampire culture in the book I found at the old clan library. Perfect. I was about to open the first page when I heard the wheels screech, and I was shoved forward by the sudden stop .
"Ladno my prishli k vam"
which translates to "OK, well, we're here" in Russian (I think).
Great! I guess I'm going in blind.
