Milliways: First Awakening
Jan. 10th, 2010 06:09 pmShe wakes up to silence, and once her eyes are open, there is no thought of stretching sleep.
Perfectly rested, perfectly aware, the vampire swings her legs out of bed and stands, moving to the bathroom: there is no sluggishness, no sleepy eyes, no 'morning look'. No body odors either, and no strange tastes in her mouth (she washed the last of the blood taste before bed).
So far, it seems like an overall improvement, and the ritual of washing her face then showering is undertaken out of habit more than anything else. Towel off, idly brush hair, and discover the clothes she wore the last day are still fresh and clean.
No sweat or any excretions either.
Once she gets used to her own lack of breathing and lack of pulse, being one of the undead might not be the nightmare she expected.
After all, she led a nocturnal life already.
Ready for the new night, the fledgling moves to the door and out: time to learn more about this dream-place.
