I do not know how to begin this entry, but I suppose this draft will suffice. When you've found my letter, I will be gone. There are truths that you all have kept from me. Pertaining to my mother, who you insist did not want me. My father that supposedly fucked off. My likeness.

My lifeblood.

...

I know what you've done.

All four of you.

I should not care. None of you deserve the courtesy of a goodbye. But when I stepped into the sun's warmth this morning, I could not help but pity you. You will never know of such beauty. Of tranquility and euphoria.

I hate that I was deprived of it for so long.

I can only hope that when you dragged my mother onto the balcony that morning, she did not feel pain. I want to believe that when the sun's rays torched her flesh to ash, she only knew of a saccharine warmth that enveloped her whole.

What was her crime? Infatuation? Why punish her for something she cannot control? Is to love a human an inevitable death sentence? I would drive myself mad if I tried to decipher the meaning behind your actions. So I won't.

Vampires cannot survive the sun. What does that make me? I suppose I'll learn that myself.

Best, Moria Vulpe.
