It never felt right.
Not really.
It always made me feel out of place and uneasy.
Sick to my stomach, kind of thing.

So as I walked along the beachfront, heading to a clothing store I could understand why I got a few odd looks.

I stuck to the shadows.
Not like, the sunlight was toxic and made me burn, or anything that dumb.
Just.
I don't like people.
They unnerve me.

I needed a new change of clothes, or a shower.
Ha.
Can't remember the last time I had one of those, without the owner shooing me off the premises.

But before I left the shop, the bell dinged a new customer.
And then a scent hit me.
Like nothing I've ever smelt before.

Probably looking like a fucking psycho-nutcase.
I sniffed the air like a kind of bloodhound.

And almost showed my true colours.
Almost.
But not quite.

With magic so stout, eyes greener than emeralds, and hair darker than the night sky.
