On my usual route home, I walk slowly. I take in my surroundings.
Trees.
Bits of snow.
Blood.
Possible victims.
Nothing prepared me for the overwhelming scent of it. I felt helpless. Panic washed over me. I knelt down near a tree, breathing heavily. It was about to take over.
My eyes went cold. My breath slowed. I stood and gazed around me. No one saw it. I could just taste my next meal. But, I had to be quick. Daylight was about to break.
I stood near a building. It was time. My target was locked. I met up with her. (I prefer females) She smelled just delightful. She looked up at me shocked as if she'd seen her worst fear. Maybe I was that.
"H-hello", she says her hand jittering.
"Hello", I say boldly.
"Um... What do you want?", her voice cracks.
"One simple thing", I say chuckling softly.
I grab her from behind and drag her to a nearby ally. It reminds me so much of how I became this way. Her face was stiff with shock. I unleashed my fangs and she gasped. The next thing I knew, she was gone. Her body motionless. All I could see was two gaping holes in her neck, that I produced.
I walked away as if nothing happened. After all, no one saw anything. I proceed home just before the first specks of sunshine show. Oh how I wish to be able to feel the sun against my skin again. The warmth of it.
Instead of being cold.
Numb.
Hungry.
In a strange way, I feel remorseful. Why am I killing people? Why can't I be normal? Its because of Blue. ( She in Chap. 1) She did this to me. I can't turn back now. But, when will someone understand me? Can I trust people?
All these questions and no answers. Or rather no wanted answers. I slide into my neatly made coffin. Pulling it over me, I snuggle into it.
