I awoke drenched in sweat and feeling irritable. Was it just a nightmare or did something actually happen last night? It's so hard to tell after particularly vivid dreams. Vigo, my gorgeous grey cat, rubbed against me and purred, helping me relax and calm down. I petted her before sitting up in my bed, ruffling my hair with my fingers as I tried to shake the residual sleepiness.
Grabbing my journal and pen, I started to write. I don't remember much from last night, but I must've had a wild time. I quickly scanned through my memories for clues, but I found none. All I remember was waking up a few hours ago and feeling…weird. I guess I just need a shower and a change of clothes. That ought to set me right again.
So I took a nice long shower, singing my favorite songs and letting the warm water wash away the weird feeling that had lingered from the night before. I couldn't help but feel like an ancient princess warrior, ready to fight my way through whatever creatures lurked in the shadows, so I let out a victorious cry as I stepped out of the shower and towards my outfit.
When I finished, I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed that I had accidentally put on some vampire makeup I had found at the mall last week. I have to admit, I was a bit impressed with my look — I was an evil Spanish vixen!
"Time to show the world what I'm made of!" I bellowed with newfound enthusiasm as I strutted away from the mirror and headed out the door.
The sun was shining, causing me to squint. I had navigated away from the rays and relaxed under the shade of a large tree. It was peaceful, and it made me think of the many adventures I had gone on, but even more so of those I wanted to take part in.
At that moment, the birds in the trees began to sing a song that felt like a duet between them and me. I could relate to their words and melodies, as if they were made for me. Was this my destiny? To continue to explore and travel to exotic countries, seeking out new experiences? I was excited to find out.
Taking in a deep breath, I came out of my daydream and stood up with my head held high. I smiled at the sun and allowed her to kiss my face, believing that her lips were passed on to me from above.
I am Mary Read, an ancient vampire princess and warrior, and today is a brand new day.
