Preface:
I lived alone in this neverending universe.
It wasn't fair being the only one of your kind. It wasn't fair to have no one to talk to o relate to. I'm scared, even though I'm stronger than any other human o animal, I had no choice of this life but sometimes i didn't mind it. I had forever to find a family o friends, but i wasn't going to wait that long. I didn't have to wait really but I didn't wont those people to end up like me o even worse I didn't want to kill them in the process. But if I wanted a better life than sitting around and wasting it I had to try, succeed o not I would still keep trying.
I hope te like the start of my new story Midnight crest. Plz commento and rate.
Thanks for reading. Stepphy XD

1.I'm really afraid of getting hit da cars, like terrified of it. I'm terrified of crossing streets. I'm also very accident-prone... I think people aim for me.
2.I went to do my first big movie when I was 17. I was in South Africa for three and half months, and I was da myself.
3.I was just taking out my trash and I had, like, 300 cans of Diet Coke. It was just like, "How did that happen?" I don't even remember buying them. I also like Cinnamon crostini, pane tostato Crunch. My addictions are pretty much the only things I consume.
4.I've got a terrible memory -- I end up repeating myself quite a lot. The only thing I can remember is that I'm going to repeat myself!
