"Next stop...Sunnydale... Next stop...Sunnydale..."
I stirred awake, grabbing my bag and suitcase.
Wishing I hadn't slept, I stepped off the bus into the world beyond.
Little did I know that it was rarely different from the world I left...
True, my family had basically called me a Heathenous bitch against the name of the Lord Thy God and kicked me out...that enforced my self-esteem.
It was already at an all-time low, and that was the last straw, the one that broke the Camel's back. I gladly left the biological beings that called themselves loosely my family. But, I didn't leave my Magick. If anything, the Goddess was the only person that loved me. She gave me a gift, one to use, and one to wield to aid others. Little did I know how much that would come in handy.
Realizing, now that I had no place to stay, and hardly any money, I wondered what I could do.
I had enough for...only a few nights at a Motel...oh dear. That's really cheap..REALLY, REALLY cheap...
I decided that no place to sleep was not as good as some bug-ridden place.
Stepping inside, I smelled the faint scent of musk and cigarette smoke...
I stepped up to the counter.
"H-hi..I-I'd like a room, please?" I faked my most sincere smile, hoping to Goddess that no convicts were on the premises...
"Yeah, sure. Buying a room by the week is cheaper you know...", the clerk said, looking at me.
I put my money on the counter.
"Right. Okay. Hang on a sec."
He left and returned a few moments with a key.
"There ya go. Be out by noon tomorrow or you pay for another day."
I took the key.
"Th-thank you.."
I said, meekly, walking out and finding my room.
I opened the door, walking inside, and putting my bags down with relief...
"Welcome to Sunnydale.."
