At any rate, time went on.
Then, not long agoâ
The young woman passed every day in boredom in the vampire community.
The community where she lived was deep in the forest far away from human habitation, down in a cave system, both as an escape from the sunlight that hurt them and as a way of avoiding unnecessary conflicts.
Many vampires were perfectly happy living peaceful lives there.
But that wasnât the case for Oronella.
âI canât take it anymore! Thereâs nothing interesting to do out here in the middle of nowhere! And all there ever is to eat is animal blood! Itâs damp and depressing down here! I hate it! I want to party it up every night in a human city! I want to drink real live human blood!â
The ninety-year-old vampire complained every day, loudly enough that her shouting echoed off her neighborsâ houses.
Thatâs right, she was right in the middle of her troublesome rebellious phase (at ninety).
She was a sheltered (ninety-year-old) girl who knew nothing of the world and longed for the big city.
Ninety years oldâ¦
Apparently, her parents were awfully perplexed by this rebellious phase. For a human, it would have come preposterously late in life.
âI canât believe youâre saying that stuff again! Nothing good will happen if you go to a human city. Thatâs why Iâm always telling you to give up on the idea! Be a good girl, stay in the community, and get yourself a job as a blood collector!â her mother scolded.
Apparently, in the vampire community, they mainly harvested their blood from livestock like cows and sheep and used that as food.
âNo! I want to go!â But at ninety, the girl wouldnât listen to reason.
âSay something, please. Youâre her father!â
âUhâ¦okay. Right. Humans are, uh, scary. Iâm against the idea of you going to a human city.â
âToo bad!â But she was truly a stubborn troublemaker and wouldnât listen to anything they said.
âGood grief⦠Who on earth has been filling this childâs head with silly ideasâ¦?â
âHoh-hoh-hoh,â laughed her grandfather.
âDad! Please donât tell her those ridiculous stories!â
Nearly every day, all she did was cry, âI want to go! I want to go!â âI want to go! I want to go!â âI want to go to the city!â
As day after day passed, the girl finally arrived at the following conclusion:
âI should just run away!â
Just. Run. Away.
She was already ninety, after all. It was a good age. A good time to overcome her parentsâ objections and live freely.
And soâ
After all thatâ
At long lastâ
âBye-bye, boondocks!â
She gathered up her things and left the countryside to pursue her long-desired city lifeâthat is, she began her life in a human city.
