I wake to myself rolling off my bed and onto the floor, I sit myself up and look at the time 3:58AM I geuss I needed the sleep I thought to myself.
Shifting my legs I sat up on the edge of my bed and stretched. My dry tongue moved around in my mouth, I needed some water. I stood up and walked to my door and walked to the kitchen and got a glass of water, I sipped the water slowly letting it rehydrate my tongue, I glanced out the window and saw a person standing outside.
I chugged the rest of the water and set the empty glass next to the sink and headed to the back door. I noticed Anyira wasn't on the couch, I slid the door open and walked outside. It was Anyira, she was looking at the moon.
"What are you doing out here." I asked her.
"I couldn't sleep." she replied.
"Where did the rest of the tribe go?" I asked.
"They returned to the sky, but when Aveegoh strikes again they will be back they promised." she said sounding certain.
"So how did the battle go with Darbuse?" Anyira asked in a curious tone.
I held out my bandaged wrist, the bandage was full of blood and needed to be changed.
"Oh jeeze, we should change that." Anyira said standing up.
She walked inside and headed to the bathroom, I followed. I glanced at the clock on the wall 4:14 AM almost five hours till school starts. When I got into the bathroom Anyira already had the med kit out, I held out my wrist and she began to unwrap the bandage. As soon as she got the blood soaked bandage off blood started gushing out, Anyira pulled my hand over the sink to catch the blood and rinsed the blood away with water.
"I think we have to stitch this back together." she said looking up at me.
"Ok." I said glancing back and forth between her and my wrist.
Anyira began digging in the med kit for thread, once she found it she thread the needle and began closing the wound. Soon the cut was closed and new bandages were put on my arm. We walked out of the bathroom and back out to the livingroom, I glanced at the clock on the wall once more 4:28 AM.
"Anyira" I began "Should I go to school?" I finished. Anyira looked at me sideways.
"Why would you want to go back there after what happened?" she asked.
"Because I feel like my job there isn't complete." I said glancing up at her.
"I also just want to know what it is like to live a normal life, one among the humans." I finished as my mind started to wander.
Why won't they accept me for who I am?
"Go if you want just be prepared for the next attack." she said looking at me.
"I will." I said in an almost excited tone
I looked back at the clock 4:32 AM. I walked back into my room and began digging through my drawer for my extra school uniform. Once I found it I layed it out on my bed. I felt myself grow sad from looking at the outfit. 'Why me? Why do I have to be so different?' I thought to myself. I felt tears roll down my face, I curled up into a ball on my bed next to the uniform, and cried myself to sleep...
