umbrella in sunlight [open]

fall asleep to dreams of home, where the waves are crashing. the only place i've ever known; now the future has me. i see the fire in the sky, see it all around me. i said, "the past is dead, the life i had is gone." said, "i won't give up until i see the sun."

Shopping wasn't exactly Quinn's favorite activity. It was necessary, she knew that much, but malls in general tended to make her uncomfortable. As well as the sunlight that beat down during the day when all of the shops were open. Being turned into a vampire had caused her more trouble than anything, especially when she had so many things that needed to be taken care of during the day. Classes and like were mostly held during the day and there weren't any exceptions for most of them. At least she was allowed to take the minimal amount required... Umbrella in hand she walked from window to window, glancing in momentarily to see if there was anything that caught her eye.

"That's nice..."  Stepping into the shade of the shop roof she closed the umbrella and tucked it under her arm. Sure she was getting a few strange stares and a couple people were giving her a wide berth, but that was only to be expected in a world where a monster could appear and take everything away from you and for all intents and purposes she was classified as a monster. What else could you call something that survived on blood and burned in the sunlight? Walking over to the women's section of the small shop she touched the brim of a wide hat. With that there was a chance she wouldn't have to use an umbrella everywhere she went.
