Mysterious Woman In The Dark

Chapter 1

I walked through the dark night and tried to avoid going near anyone. I haven't tasted blood in weeks. I was in a pretty weak state. I don't like to go outside. I don't like people. I don't like being out in public. The only time I leave the castle, is to drink blood. I need to drink blood to survive. I used to hate taking the lives of innocent people, but I don't really care anymore. I have no choice. I have to do anything to survive. I lost my smile. I haven't smiled in thousands of years. I was human when I last smiled. There's nothing to smile about anymore. I'm not happy anymore. I'm alone. That's never going to change. I'll always be alone. No human would understand me. They'd most likely kill me on the spot. What human in their right mind would be friends with a vampire? No one. That's why I'll always be alone. I can't let anyone get too close. The last time I let someone get close to me...they turned me into a vampire. I'm just a monster. I have no one to love. I don't even love myself. I hate myself. I'm a monster who kills the innocent for survival. I can't trust anyone. I haven't trusted anyone in thousands of years. I learn to keep my head down and hide my face from the humans. It's not safe for a vampire to roam around carelessly. I snapped out of my thoughts as I bumped into someone. I jerked my head up and looked at the young man. "O-Oh, sorry! I didn't see you there!" He said quickly. He had a thick Russian accent. "My name is I-" I cut him off and backed away slowly. "I'm sorry if I scared you." He spoke quietly. My eyes widened and I shook my head. He stepped towards me and held out a hand. I looked around and realized that we were in a dark alley. I could kill him right now and nobody would notice. I opened my mouth slightly and thought for a moment, not realizing that my fangs were showing. "U-Uh...you have some really sharp teeth." He said softly and looked at me closely. I backed away slowly and quickly covered my mouth. Shit! He saw! I looked into his eyes and pinned him against a nearby brick wall. I got close to his neck and breathed softly. "Your touch is so cold." He said softly and smiled slightly. I shook my head and backed away, looking around frantically. I can't kill him! "I'm sorry-" I shook my head and quickly ran away from him. "Wait!" He called and began to chase after me. I made a few quick turns and tried to lose him. He was fast. He reached out and tried to grab me. I quickly ran towards my castle. Why couldn't I kill him? What's wrong with me? I shouldn't have an issue with killing anyone. I quickly reached the castle and ran along the path, the iron gates closing behind me. The man wasn't fast enough. He stood at the gate and watched me. I ran into the castle and closed the door quickly, sighing in relief and leaning against the door, slowly sliding down and hugging my knees. "That was close. Too close." I said to myself and closed my eyes. "I didn't drink any blood either." I groaned. Well shit. Now what do I do? What if he searches for me again? I can't let him get too close. I shook my head and stood up slowly, walking down a long hall. Why couldn't I kill him earlier? What came over me? I decided to go to my room and think about it. Maybe we'll meet again.
