The Shadow Puppeteer

 Is this your wife? What a lovely throat.

It said just after Orlock examined the picture of Hunters wife.I was watching Nosferatu,and old classic.I loved how the directors changed the names of everything because they couldn't obtain the rights.If you think about it,its like their mocking Dracula almost.Saying 'ha look how good this turned out'.I also loved the main star.Count Orlack otherwise known as Max Schrek.His acting was brilliant on his part since it is a silent movie.

"Okay class.That's all we have time for today.We'll wrap it up next week."Mr.Kendly grunted as the rest of the class was in a rush to get out of the room.No one knows a great classic these days.Its all about the latest Megan Fox or Twilight movie.

I sadly packed my bag drawing to the conclusion that Mr.Kendly wasn't fifteen minutes early by accident like usual.I took my time seeing as its my last class for tonight.I've got no-where to go and Mr.Kendly takes long to pack up himself.

As I put my Ipod in my ears I headed out the door.AWOLNATION's SAIL was playing.One of my top favorites.I thought I heard Mr.Kendly say something but I decided to ignore him.If its important he'd stop me or tell me on Monday.Lyrics were dancing in my head and I shut myself off from the outside world.I could do this all day.

The cold kissed my skin as I walked out the door.I don't mind it though actually relaxing.Must be near five-ish.I once again shut myself off from the world and replayed SAIL.Beautiful snowflakes started drizzling down from the heavens above.Reminded me of how everyone is different.I smiled at the thought of that.I was now in the last back alley I would cut through.Like always it was deserted even the black cat wasn't there today.Only thing showing life was a blinking light.

"Maybe im a different breed.Maybe im not listening"I sang along with the music.

"Then maybe I should make you listen"I heard a deep voice chuckle and someone grabbed my mouth before I could talk.Then my earplugs were pulled out and I heard the sound of my Ipod crashing to the ground. "Hello my sweet"They turned me around and I smelt his ghastly breath.He was probably 6'1.I could only see so much of him since it was black but I swear he didn't look human.He had yellow piercing eyes.Not that intimidating but he made a swift move and I saw a third eye.I gasped and he just smirked.He was not a human.

"Yess"He slithered and showed his tongue.It looked just like a snakes tongue."You smell so good"He jerked my head in his direction and took a sniff.Pig "I can wait no longer.Usually I play with my food but your just to special"My eyes widen as I realized what he meant by 'food'.Tears made rivers down my cheeks

He forced himself onto me.While one hand was hold me down the other trailing up my leg.Basically playing the child game of 'firetruck'.And just like the firetruck his finger did not stop even though I was wiggling to get free.I knew what I was doing.Making myself tired is what I was doing.He sighed and then kissed me.Aggressiveness was the only feeling.Then slowly he traveled down to my neck suckling very hard and I became even more weak and feeble.

"Please"I realized he let go of my mouth.It was all I could do to talk and hold my eyes open to see my killers face.

"Don't worry honey.It wont feel bad"He chuckled and I shut my eyes "At the last sec-"I heard him gurgle and I opened my eyes.I saw his eyes in pain.I would get up and run at my chance but there was something holding m back.I slowly moved my head down and saw a pale hand.My eyes widen more in terror.

"Fellow of mine"I heard a monotone voice say.I became paralyzed.No way I was going to live tonight.That guy was strong and if someone just did that then no-way I'm going to live."You know that it is against the rules to attack a human above the normal limits for your ranking"It continued.

"Ye-yes I know"The dying man gasped "I-I couldnt h-help myself"He smiled.

"You know the consequence is death upon site"The voice said with no guilt.Then I saw the hand disappear and the now dead man fell upon me.Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw my next killer.

He had black hair and was probably 6'4.A mere foot taller than myself.No way I could handle him.His eyes were a ice-land blue-ish,gray-ish color.His skin was pale but not as pale as the other guy.He was nicely built,probably a eight-pack.Not overly buff,but not weak.

 If that was all to say about his looks I'd be ever so thankful he looked human.But its not the end.Placed on the side of his head were little horns like an incubus would have.He was wearing a white v-neck t-shirt with a black jacket over it.He had black jeans on.His hand was now hung out by his side with black liquid dripping from it.

"Scums.What are you going to do with them?"His voice still one tone.He shook his hand once and the black liquid was gone.He then placed his hand in the front-side  pocket.More tears came and I soon found my nails gripping into the wall.Not only because I'm weak but I was wishing that the wall would turn into a magic tunnel leading me away from this boy.

"Dont worry girl.I will choose not to kill you.I shall let you live"He turned and started walking away.

"Wa-wait"I spoke before I thought.

"What is it girl.By the tone of your voice I'd say your scared out of your wits"His voice pierced my mind.

"How did you get hear"I randomly made up a question.

"To answer that"He turned around and I saw his perfect face again.I caught another un-human quality.His teeth were jagged."My dear.You'd have to make a deal with me.That which will include pain and suffering." His voice made me twitch in fear. "Think you would be ready for that my dear?"

"Y-yes"
