Power that Lingers (Vampire Romance)

Power that Lingers 3

Power that lingers 3.

I opened my eyes gasping for air, it had only been a dream.

 I stretch my legs out, moaning as my knees crack in a sign that i hadn't moved them in a while. I rummaged underneath my pillow for my phone; I wander what the time is.  I found it then turned it on, waiting for what felt like ages.  After the handset fully loaded, the clock hit midnight.

I jumped as my TV began to buzz and sizzle, then gave up in less than 5 seconds. Leaving the whole house in an unwanted silence. I squeezed my eyes, as I knew what was coming.

It was 18 birthday and something was bound to happen tonight. It took me years, to find out what actually happens to me on my birthday.  My body will ache as darkness will gladly take over me. The real me will then be locked up, somewhere inside my body. And i will completely black out. The darkness will then control my body, making me do things beyond evil. I don't know exactly what happens, but when i wake up in the morning. Someone is found dead, with the life sucked out of them.

I don't attack people when they are bleeding, i don't thirst for blood or smell it from a mile away. In fact the whole blood thing makes my head ache.

I opened my eyes still surprised nothing had happened. I grabbed my phone and it read 00:01. Jumping of the bed i made my way to the bathroom. I opened the tap watching the water flow for a bit then i bundled my hands, letting the cold water fill it up. I splashed the water onto my face drying of with a damp face towel. After getting my face as dry as i could i hung the towel and looked into the mirror. Waiting, waiting so badly i wanted something to happen. I guess I became so used to it that it was almost an addiction.

"why isn't anything happening?" i said, surprised by the unfamiliarity of hearing my own voice. It was  a soft tone, that had hidden secrets behind it. I closed my eyes for a minute then opened them. When i looked in to the mirror they seemed.... different. They seemed to have gone, brighter, bright enough to glow if i turned off the lights. I didn't bother to blink my eyes a few times, in making sure i wasn't dreaming. It would just be stupid since i knew i wasn’t.

Then i got a weird feeling, it tingled from my toes and crawled up my whole to my surface of my head. It left me with a sudden desert dry feeling in my throat. I felt like if i didn't drink water i would die any minute.  I quickly turned the tap on and drank half a litre's worth of water cold.  Making my front teeth ache like they were going to fall out. I stupidly opened my mouth to check my teeth out in the mirror,  Then froze. My eyes opened as wide as they could go, as i inspected my two now fang likes teeth. I watched them in disgust hopping they fall out my mouth any minute like the stupid Halloween once. But they didn't. They were as white as my other teeth but stood out in an angelic way, they shimmered with grace and declared war with their needle sharp points.

A cough twice as old as i am left my lips, its was dry and cracky, making me hold my chest and squeezed my eyes as it hurt. I coughed and coughed then a sweet alcoholic taste, sizzled inside of my mouth.

I looked down at the sink, which was covered in spurts of a thick scarlet liquid. I took a sample of it on my finger then sniffed it. The sweet scent of it was seductive and am sure about a glass full of it would be beyond mouth watering. I went further than just smelling it, i took a small lick of it. It melted perfectly into my tongue like hot chocolate on a cold winter’s night.

When i realized what i just done, I quickly pulled my hand away from my mouth, and spat into the sink.  What am I doing?! What is happening! Then something hit my mind.

The whole thing, which takes over me, it was in progress. It was letting me experience what happened when i was swallowed by the darkness. It was making me into the monster it was. 

When i thought even deeper, i realised. What ever this darkness did when it took over my body. I would have to do it tonight.
