The woman who threatened me early led me outside the palace. The bright sun almost burns my eyes. I wasn't used to being outside in the sun, where I used to stay daily in the underground, covered in darkness except for a few lamps shining in the dark.
We passed a couple of vampires who gave us a few glances, mostly at me, due to my beautiful appearance.
Their gazes contained curiosity and desire. I turned away, hating the look on their faces, making my skin crawl.
Then the woman led me to the woods, where I had to be careful not to step on sticks and rocks, and I mostly avoided mud or anything that would get me dirty.
I turned my head, looking around the environment. It wasn't bad-looking; it was kind of beautiful, to be honest. I heard some chirping birds scattering in the trees, and I looked up.
A couple of birds hiding in their nests, tending to their babies. Then a sharp sound echoes across the air like a storm, and a sharp arrow plunges into the bird's chest.
