Interesting gathering, and definitely a bit creepy. Miya's disbelief and sarcasm showed how she thinks, and it kept in with her character so far. I wonder why they wanted to know who her grandfather was, and if he's the reason for her condition, and what her whole name has to do with any of it. Nice chapter

The little incident with the fridge was interesting, I've heard of conditions with skin pigmentation problems or allergies that skin cannot be in sunlight, but never with electrical light as well. Is Miya's disease something unique only to her, and if it is, then wouldn't it generate more interest in the medical world, like with her doctor? Just a thought.

The boy...hm..vampire? Well, he certainly sounds like one from the description and he might think Miya is from her reaction to the sunlight. He sounds pretty nifty though, a friend for Miya since they do both live in the night. One thing, you said she went down to the fridge at 12, and then it didn't seem like 4 or 5 hrs had passed for it to be dawn in the garden. But that's easily changed. Now, to see what happens to Miya. Good cliffhanger!

Interesting dream, kind of like a premonition to who she's going to meet, right? I liked the way you described the movement, and then the dramatic ending with the sunlight. I enjoyed the first part of the chapter more, just since there was more tension, but the second bit was not too dry, seeing as you did have to explain her condition. Nice job

Yippie, This is a really cute story... I thought it was going in a different direction, but then when I read all the chapters I saw what was going on, and really liked it. this story is original and interesting, and I can't wait to find out what's comming next!

Your charecters didn"t really seem to act like ordinary people. Work on having more natural dialouge- and it seems very unlikely that the mother would burst into tears and run out of the room.

Anyway, about the refrigerator and Miya not being able to leave her room, I would think that her mother would have adapted the house to meet her condition- no windows, or at least they would be covered during the day.

Maybe consider giving Miya's condition a name.
