I couldn't believe it had taken me this long to realize what was bugging me. Even after all these years, even I was capable of slipping up.
With a curse, I jerked into the shadows of a tree, standing right next to the trunk where the sun couldn't reach me, a hand up to my eyes.
I had wondered why the sun had seemed extra bright today. Why my skin had felt more irritated than normal with being outside during the day.
Now. I finally pieced all the stupid signs together.
I'd forgotten my shields at home today.
I groaned, banging the back of my head against the trunk. It was the most basic part of a vampire's survival kit and I had run out of the house without them this morning!
How could I be so--
"Stupid? An Idiot? A Nincompoop? Because I think all apply here, honestly enough."
I opened my eyes for the most welcome unwelcomed sight. "What are you doing here?"
"Saving your life apparently." He replied back with a raised eyebrow. "What vampire forgets his shields?"
I barred my teeth. "One who was running late."
"Mhmmmm luckily I happened to be in the area then."
Highly doubtful that he just 'happened' to be by. Highly. Highly doubtful.
-Inspiration from being outside today and the sun seemed brighter than normal.
