For What Its Worth

I have been wondering around this planet close to eight hundred years. Most of it has become boring to me. The politics of my world will also be the bane of my existence. They just never let it go. I mean， since when did the princess of the vampire kingdom have to marry and mate in order to claim what was rightfully hers. What was rightfully mine.

For close to two hundred years， I have successfully evaded the limelight. Although this meant that I needed to be far away from my home in Romania， as well as far away from my family. It was needed. I wanted to live my life as the Queen. Not the carefully constructed image my mother wants me to convey.

Not many things in my life was a surprise anymore. Not the natural disasters， nor the disastrous after effects of humans moving to a new settlement， nor the people I fed off of. Since I left my home to go on my journey， I have not killed a single person. When I fed， I would do so conservatively. When I needed to fight， I would use my Glimmer to erase their memories after I had won. This has become my boring life.

Little did I know that Fate had another plan for me. Without me noticing， as it always has been， Fate moved me from location to location. All the way to the America“s. North America to be exact.

I was driving down a long stretch of road surrounded my dense forests. It has been a long time since I ever thought about enjoying the scenic“s. I drove in silence， not even switching on the radio to my “69 Shelby GT500. It was a long drive ahead， and I knew that if I ran I would leave too much of my scent behind. It was a way they could track me， therefore I needed to avoid such activities.

For reasons beyond my understanding， I felt as if something was about to happen that would forever change my life. For the better or worse， was still to be determined. No matter what I did， I could not shake this feeling.

I rounded another bend in the road and came upon a fiery crash. A log truck was overturned as the logs it was carrying was scattered across the road. Four cars were mixed up in the crash. It might become an even bigger accident due to it happening on blind bends within the road.

I didn“t notice how much I didn“t care about what I was seeing. It was if I was numb to the fact that there were human lives in danger. I guess that it attributes itself to being alive for over eight hundred years. Well， sort of anyway.

I stopped my car about a dozen meters from the accident， wondering how long the authorities would take to get here and start moving everything. I wanted to get to my destination quickly so I could begin to plan the next few years within this state.
