Darkness surrounds me as I managed to go out of the tiny peep hole I found. Looking around cautiously, the coast seems clear and I take my getaway. To where I was going now, nothing seemed to matter. Only the fact that I actually get out of here alive. No one needs to know that I am Rosalba Sanchez. No one needs to know that I am a vampire. No one needs to know I am one hundred and five years old and still controlled by my father. No one definitely needs to know that I am escaping my father, Enrico Sanchez, the most notorious vampire of all the seven continents.

I sighed as I took a deep breath afterwards, knowing that this might be the last time I get to see the home I had lived in all my life. I was leaving my friends, family behind, but I knew that it had to be done, if I wanted to gain freedom. Who am I to disagree to my wants and needs at a time like this? I turned my head around, flipping my brown almost black hair, checking to make sure there was not any one in the distance. Realizing that I had been startled by a false alarm, I continued crawling my way out of this jail like place and out into freedom. When I saw a white light ahead, I quickened my pace. Before I knew it I was out of the place I had called home for the past one hundred and five years, and I was free to do whatever I want. I smiled, as I looked out at the sun, my skin glowing like diamonds. It was great to be free.
