Seeing as it's October, what better that to make a mythical creature story

Summary: All she wanted was a normal life, but when she first turned, she lost that luxury. Now on the run from the Government, she has to leave her home country, her family, and her past behind and start a new life.

1990, the Dominican Republic, a news report came on.

"Late last night, several farms were attacked, leaving behind several animals, all drained of blood, with organs ripped out." The reporter said, "It is unknown of what is the cause of this, but farmers and witnesses are saying they saw a large dog like creature, with dozens of sharp quills coming from the back, long nimble body, and massive teeth and claws. Some say it could be some kind of new animal yet to be discovered, others say it's the work of the elusive... Chupacabra."

In a house on the other side of town, a girl, with a mouth, hands, and torso covered in blood, was sleeping.

"Camila, Mija, it's time to wake up, you don't wish to be late, do you? You're graduating today."

Camila opened her eyes and looked around. The nineteen year old realized they were covered in blood and panicked.

"I-I-I'm awake, Mama, no need to come in or anything." Camila said.

"Ok, dear, just hurry and get ready. Hoy es un gran día."

Camila waited until she knew her mom wasn't there before pulling her shirt off and wiping the blood of her mouth.

"How much did I eat last night?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Camila heard footsteps get closer and panicked. She still had blood on her hands, how would she explain that?

"Camila."

Camila looked at the owner of the voice. She saw her older sister.

"Lucilla, listen-"

"Camila, I can't keep covering for you. You have to tell our parents."

"I can't, do you have any idea what will happen when they find out I'm the Chupacabra? They'll kill me, quite literally."

"You need to do something! What happens if this stops becoming a nightly thing? What happens when you become the Chupacabra in the middle of the day?"

"I don't know!" Camila said, "I don't know why I'm like this, I don't know what I'm going to do! All I know is, if I turn into it and eat enough, I'll be fine for a few days."

Camila was practically crying.

"You know I never wanted this, you were there when I first turned. I nearly killed you that night!"

Lucilla pulled her close and hugged her.

"I know you didn't want this, I know you didn't try and hurt me that night." Lucilla looked at her, "Listen, I don't know what happened to you, but we'll figure something out. Just... go graduate, then we'll figure this out."

Camila sighed and nodded. Camila went to the bathroom to get the blood off, leaving Lucilla alone. She was worried about Camila, if something goes wrong, she'll either be shot, or captured and dissected.
