a Goddess among Men

Sweet Music

Sleep.

Hunger.

Music?

Pain.

Melodic notes.

That damned hunger.

That sweet pain.

Music? Soft angelic music drifts to my ears waking me from my deep sleep. Hypnotic music, demanding music. I needed to get to it, I need to find the music. The hunger demands that I find those sweet tones and devour every single ounce of it. Do I even remember what music is? How could I forget something so joyous and beautiful as those sweet beautiful tones?

That sharp needing pain burns in my throat choking my thoughts before I could even begin to think on if I knew what it truly was. Two sharp points stab into my lip making me open my eyes in surprise. Black droplets of dead blood drip from my wounded lip and onto my trembling hand. Why am I trembling? The pain hits me again, this time in my stomach as hard as it can.

With red tinted vision I stumble from my resting place and into the darkening night following those sweet notes. I would follow those notes to my death if it meant an end of this tormenting pain that burns my throat so horribly. A castle. High walls. Dark windows. That soft begging music, it begs me to take it, to destroy everything pure and innocent about those sweet sweet notes.

The doors fly open when I push them, the music was still too far away, I needed to be closer. Such a sweet begging scent reaches my senses, my hunger doubles stronger than the pain now. Rushing through the stone halls I find the source of my torment, behind two large wooden doors. It stops for a moment, the pain, I stand and listen wantonly to those sweet notes wanting to absorb every sweet note before I silence it forever.

The hunger flares again, a small growl ripping from my throat as it returns, no more listening it's time to stop the hunger. Shutting out the small cry of protest in my mind I thrust the door open and charge straight for the music player. She screams in surprise but I am already on top of her, all of my teeth extend and I am so close to the sweet release of her blood. My jaws clamp around her throat, her green eyes widen and I taste it, the intoxicatingly sweet taste of her blood explodes in my mouth.

A sharp pain rips through me pulling me out of my bliss as I drink down her music. A pain filled burning consumes me, my very soul is on fire. I fall onto her my jaw coming loose from those intoxicating veins, is this music? My mind slowly starts to play her song over in my head, those sweet notes caressing my mind as I slowly die. The hunger is gone so I must be dying, is this what it feels like to die properly, to not be changed into this damning form? That sweet music, that saving blood. She wasn't human, with that blood and those eyes, she could only be a goddess. A goddess among men, a pureblood vampire. She saved me, in being my downfall she had saved me, I got a chance to taste the heavens in her blood, in her music.
