Redemption

His true form

One night we decided to go on a date in town. She wore the most gorgeous gown. Her beauty can turn your frown upside down. We headed out around 6pm.
He took me to an expensive restaurant. I still don’t know how he affords anything when he doesn’t work. Either way it was one of those dates I’ve always wanted to go on. He looked absolutely handsome in a tux.
I had it all planned out. Today was the day I would show her who or better yet what I really am. I would tell her my story and show her my appearance and hope she will not run away. All that’s left is for me to find the courage to do so.
Before I could do so, something unexpected happened that changed everything. Turns out the robber turned vampire I let go years ago (let’s call him Jim) has been tracking me together with the third member of their gang (let’s call him James).
Jim and James had managed to create a clan of vamps to fight against me. They thought large numbers would even up the odds. And they picked the worst moment to make their move.
“Last time you had it lucky because it was just the two of us but now you will surely face your doom. You are outnumbered 1 to a 100” says Jim. “What’s going on, who or what are they? Are they like those creatures that attacked me last time?” asked jasmine.
“Yes they are, now listen to me carefully. I want you to go back into the restaurant and don’t come back till I ask you to” I told jasmine. “No I want to stay with you, don’t want to leave you alone” replied jasmine. “ I said go!!!!” I yelled as my eyes turned red.
She went back into the restaurant. I could see that she was frightened to the core. Took my attention back to the vamps, “alright bitches lets settle this score” I said in a creepy voice.
They came at me in hordes but like an enraged demon from hell, I turned them to ash. They slashed, bit and bashed me but none of their attempts seemed to be working for I healed faster than they could hurt me.
I tore off their heads, cut them in half I even ripped out their hearts. I covered the streets with their blood. It was so much it looked like a flood. In no time their clan was dismembered. “Oh look you are left with two members.” I said to Jim and James
“All your pawns are dead, they made a nice snack but now it’s time for you two to meet your painful end” I said while licking the blood off my hands. Jim came at me with enchanted holly chains, they burnt my flesh and made me scream. I quickly cut them off me and bit his neck off “poor Jim, now your life has begun to dim.” I said with an evil laugh.
“My bit gave you life and it can take it away, if you want to live then where you are you shall stay” I gave James a warning. But seeing his comrades die brought him anger, “die” he screamed and took off running.
He threw holly water on my face while I was screaming he jabbed my chest with his hand and my heart he pierced. I regained my sight before he could pull out my heart. “You think you can kill me you little brat!!?” I yelled.
I cut off his hand in half with it still in my chest. Bit out his eyes, pulled out his tongue and cut off his legs. As I was going in for the kill I heard someone cream, stop it you monster.
I turned around to see who it was. To my surprise it was no one but jasmine. I walked towards her forgetting that I looked like something dug up from the pits of hell.
“Stay away, don’t come any closer, what have you done to Simeon?” Jasmine asked. I pulled out the hand that was in my chest and shifted back to my normal form.
She looked at me as tears drained down her eyes. I took one more step towards her and she took three back. I knew from then on that she’d never accept me. Without thinking twice, I leaped to the top of a building. I fled with a broken heart as James laid there with his spilling guts. I run as far as my legs could take me.
Once again I was lost in my own pain. Happiness I might never regain. Back to being the monster. My life keeps going round and round it’s like I’m on a roller coaster.
With her I felt happy, I felt wanted. She filled up the vast empty space were my soul once occupied. I brought this upon myself, it’s all my fault I shouldn’t have lied.
I was stupid for thinking she'd ever accept and understand me. It only took one glance for her to see, that she and I were never meant to be. Or maybe she thought otherwise, no don’t give yourself hope. You had no other option you just had to flee.
The pitiful talk went on for hours. As I thought about the happiness that was once ours.
