[Shiny]

War brought out the worst in humanity and shadows no longer felt the need to hide. Needless to say, the things of nightmares took delight in this new playground. However, Micah would never invade anyone's bad dreams. Slender and pale, half starved for the blood that was so hard to get despite the fighting and death spread over the world, Micah's intense but light blue eyes and long, tangled shock blonde hair gave him an almost otherworldly aura, near ghost-like. His weaker stature probably didn't help his case with the clan of this region, especially with both willing and unwilling food being so scarce and precious. Bastards threw him out when it became clear that there was no benefit to letting him stay. They did give him one option to stay, but hell if he was going to accept that.

So, days of lingering outside this human community, peering through the barbed wire fence, had Micah desperate. He wasn't sure how he'd get in. One good look from the guards and they'd know him for a vampire, for sure... His fingers scraped furrows in the dirt as he crouched, watching. These humans sure were a cautious lot. None ventured out alone, clever little things. It made it that much more difficult for him. Micah huffed under his breath. Anyone would do. Humans were all the same. Except for one that had caught his attention... Micah found himself eager to catch a glimpse of that boy. And that pissed him off to no end. Still, he waited for a moment more, lingering at the edge of the forest just on the outside of their dreadful fence.
