Beastblood - The Lost Heir Part 1

Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you, pushing your actions? A dormant beast so to speak. I know, it sounds crazy.

But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And that my beast was very real indeed.

It all started one day a few weeks into my junior year of college.

I was shuffling my notes into my bookbag after C302. Organic chemistry was shaping up to be a tough one and I had only covered a week’s worth of material at that point.

The fold-up stadium seating was a chorus of noises as they retracted and everyone hurried out of class. Feet pounded on the cheap linoleum tiles that were white with black spatters to hide the scuff marks that so commonly became part of the tiles.

I pushed all the scents and sounds to the background before the herd of students overwhelmed my senses.

My professor didn’t seem to understand that computer models took care of all the manual work he was demanding of us. Of course, the fundamentals were important, but that’s what C301 covered. I was so ready to move past the rote memorization to actually applying the knowledge.
