Underneath the coldness of my skin

[MATURE THEMES] Never in her life had Celeste thought of waking up in the middle of the night at the horrendous screams of her parents nor finding out the man she had loved to her bone would do the dreadful deed of assisting his dad in killing her parents in the greed of power and wealth.  The grief and heartbreak she had gone through was one of hell and seeing the facade of her ex-partner's father falling before her feet the next night trapped inside the walls of her chamber when he tried to assault her was frighteningly alarming which left her with no way but to flee the Kingdom she grew up in. The palace where she only had the best of memories until that unfortunate night when she unwillingly had to let go of the people who gave birth to her. Who she loved to death.  Then again, never in her life had Celeste thought there will be a moment she will be brought to the kingdom of Elyznh— which she heard about a lot but didn't though one day she will be setting foot there and living a life pretending to be a human when the blood flowing inside her nerves were pure Vampire— living with werewolves nor falling in love with a werewolf. Her secret is her's only, and when she dies it will become mere ashes as she is and rose in the sky, until then no one needs to know.

Sudden weakness in her bones.

Celeste's eyes dart wildly behind her eyelids like startled birds as the warmth of sunlight kisses her skin. Yet, as she becomes more aware of her surroundings, she senses a presence, a soft murmur of voices dancing on the edge of her consciousness. With a quiet intensity, she strains to catch the whispers, her curiosity piquing by the unknown sounds.

Celeste cracks her eyes open, a wince slips past her lips as the harsh rays of sunlight pierce through the delicate skin of her face. She instinctively shields her eyes, the unexpected brightness intensifying her discomfort. The worried gazes of the palace maids that meet her the moment she opens her eyes only add to the sense of confusion she feels.

Even though her eyes are wide open now, it takes her a few seconds to comprehend what is happening. The sudden rush of information overwhelms her senses, causing a brief delay in processing the situation unfolding before her.
