Fifty-seven years. That was all it had been and the planet had changed drastically. Vampires, a creature of myth turned out be reality and the sun disappeared. No humans truly no the reason, or those who did never spoke of it. Many humans growing up with no sun and no knowledge of what it looked like, born into total darkness. Alexandra was one of those people. At the age of sixteen she had spent her entire life in darkness, venturing to the surface, out of the safety of the sewers simply to find remains of food and warmth. Most of teh sewer dwellers wore tattered rags. Alex's attire was no different, Torn cargo pants, tattered hoodie that had a picture of a band, although it was faded. Along with that a pair of worn sneakers that were about a size too big for her feet, finger less gloves, though they did not start that way and a worn out baseball cap. Her red was tangled and matted, the dirt of her face covering most features aside form her piercing green eyes, highlighted by the dark circles around them showing a lack of sleep. Blood dripped form her lips, though unlike the vampires above ground, it was simply from a rat she had managed to catch. Over time humans had become accustomed to raw meat.
Twitch as she heard a car overhead she growled. Vampires, they took the surface form teh humans, it was their world, though to Alex, the sewers, below ground, that was her world. Her mother was teh same, unknown to the world above. In fact, the only person Alex knew to have lived above ground was her grandmother, who, given the harsh conditions of the sewers, had passed away. Her mother joining her when Alex was fourteen. Becoming infected with a rabid rat and dying due to it. Since then the girl had been on her own, two years, fighting for her own survival, no ties to anyone.
"What do you have there?" Alex turned to see a couple of men who had spotted her catch. Still a large amount of meat left on the rat she was eating along with a sack with a couple more rats in it. The men had originally thought her to be a boy but upon seeing her more feminine figure the rats were quickly the last thing on their mind. Rape was common, with the threat of the Vampires so common, most people did not have relationships, they would breed, but not often, instead men would get their release form teh females the only way they knew how.
Glaring at them she tossed her bag aside and headed down the sewer line. She was still a virgin, she had done this well without the help of others and planned to continue doing as she had.
"Come back" She could hear the men calling. Quickly she climbed one of teh ladders that headed to the surface. Most humans, horny or not would not follow another to the surface. It was stupid given teh threat, but alas Alex had done this well thus far. Another car drove by and she had managed to duck behind a trash can just in time. The cars looked like antiques, even for Alex. The body hailing form the ninteen-thirties however although the body was from that age, the engine work had been redone, sparing the Vampires from the need of gas. not due to prices or health reasons, but only because the planet had all but been depleted of that resource. It was a mystery what they ran on these days.
Slowly catching her breath she wiped the rat blood form her mouth and rubbed the blood on her hands onto her pants. She would have to re-enter the sewers, but not form the way she had come. Another manhole would have to be found, and when she found it, she would need enough time to get in before being seen.
