The Full Darkness Of The Heart

Epiloge

The young man had found the purfect spot, it was a clearing in the forest near the Black Mountains. He had planning thid for a while it was now or never first he had to pick Trish up.
Trish waited in her house, waiting for her man to turn up. Her man he was so nice and great, he was taking her away for a weekend, she had a good feeling about this, a horn honked outside, he was here, Trish grabbed her bag and ran out.
Matt honked his horn as, he pulled up outside Trish's house she ran out carring a bag and got into the car.
"Hi" Trish said, closing the door.
"Hi" Matt returned
"Where are we going?" Trish asked
"It's a surprise" Matt said, with a wink. Matt drove them towards the forest, the mountains loomed in the distance, they did'nt talk along the way it made the drivr very uncomfotable and it was a long drive.
"The forest?" Trish asked after a long silence.
"Yes, the forest, I thought it would be romantic" Matt replied, looking at Trish she was blusing.
Matt was even more confident that he would be accepted the forest grew closer. Matt pulled up and stopped just before the clearing he had found days earlier they both got of the car, Matt lead Trish to the clearing.
"Well?" Matt asked
"Matt it's so romantic" Trish said, giving him a light kiss on the lips and blushing she was shy.
"That's why I chose this spot" Matt said
They built a fire and watched as the stars came out, they were quite Matt knew this was the right moment.
"Trish?" Matt questioned
"Yes, Matt" Trish replied
Matt slowly got down on one knee.
"Trish I love you, I never want to part from you. Will you marry me?" Matt asked, opening a small box inside was a small diamond ring, Trish had gone betroot red.
"Yes, Matt I will" Trish managed in a wisper.
Matt came over to Trish and placed the ring on her finger they kissed, Matt took her in his arms and they went to the tent and they made love, after they lay togther content.
"How long have you been planning this?" Trish asked
"A while" Matt answerd truthfuly
"I am so happy" Trish said, kissing his lips, a sharp rustling came from outside.
"Did you hear that?" Trish asked
"Sure did" Matt replied
Matt and Trish slowly went outside, to the camp the fire was still burning at yet something was very wrong, Trish took hold of Matt's hand and squessed it, Matt squessed it back the sharp rustling came again it seemed closer then they heard the voice.
"Help me" It croaked
Matt looked at Trish, she looked afraid.
"Help me" The voice croaked again.
"Stay here" Matt said, letting go of Trish's hand and headed over to where the voice had come from.
"Hay in there"
"Help me, please" The voice said
"Alright, I am coming in" Matt said, stepping into a bush, there he saw a man, stooped and bent he was a mess.
"Trish, get the medi kit!" Matt yelled, her footsteps went into the distance, Matt gently lifted the man and lead him to the camp, Matt lead him to the fire.
"Trish, the medi kit!" Matt yelled again
"Coming" Trish said, coming out with a large green box in her hands, her eyes were wide as she saw the man, she handed over the box to Matt with shaking hands.
"What happend to him?" Trish asked
"I don't know, looks like he was burnt" Matt replied, flicking open the medi kit bringing out long bagages.
"What do we do?" Trish asked
"Call an ambulance" Matt replied
"No signal"
"Shit"
"Please, I am thirsty" The man croaked
"Here" Matt said, handing him a flask full of cold water, the man took it and slowly took it down.
"Trish" Matt wisperd
"What?" Trish wisperd back
"Go inside the tent"
"Why?"
"I don't trust him" Matt replied, Trish nodded and slowly went into the tent.
"Thanks" The man said
"No problem" Matt replied
"My name is Max" Max introduced himself holding out a butnt hand, Matt took it and shiverd the hand was cold.
"Matt" he replied, nodding
"That your girl?" Max asked
"Trish yeah" Matt replied
"Very pritty"
"Thanks"
"Do you have more water, I am still so thirsty"
"Sure" Matt said
Matt reached over to his pack and brought out another flask, he held it out to Max who had a strange look in hid eyes. Max moved at lightning speed and grabbed Matt's arm the flask dropped with a thud on the floor.
"What the fuck" Matt cursed
Max answerd with a snarl and lunged, he toor into Matts neck the blood came out in a stream, Matt let out a gargled scream as Max drained him of his lifes blood.
Trish had heard the scream and poked her head out of the tent, she saw Matt and then she saw the blood, Trish screamed Max looked up at her and smiled, he walked calmly towards Trish who had backed into the tent. Max slowly went into the tent, Trish was backed up into the far corner a look of terror on her face.
"Hi, Trish" Max leared
"What did you do with Matt?" Trish asked
"I was thirsty"
"Please, don't hert me"
"I don't want to Trish, if your a good girl, will you be a good girl?" Max asked, tracing a finger down her cheek. Trish sudderd at the touch, and tears flowed down her face, his hands moved down to her blouse and undid her buttons.
"Please don't" Trish said, crying harder.
"Trish be a good girl, and take your clothes off, don't make me hurt you" Max said, with a snarl bareing his large fangs, Trish trembling removed her clothes.
"That's a good girl" Max said as Trish stripped off her clothes, she stood trembling nacked before him.
"Please" Trish said, still trembling.
"Lay down" Max commanded, grabbing some rope, Trish slowly laid down, Max tied up her wrists and held apart her legs.
"Be good" Max said, as he took her, Trish's scream's echoed into the dark night, when he finished he drained her of, her life blood.
"I am coming Katie, coming for you" Max said, he then took the dead man's clothes, turned his back on the camp laughing as he headed towards the city, they would be found then Katie would know.
"Ready or not here I come" Max said.

A scream pirced the night, a shrill high pitched scream, then I realised it was me, I awoke with a start.
"Oh" I breathed
"Katie, what is it?" Hawk asked
"A nightmare about Max" I replied
"Max is gone, I told you"
"Yes, I know, it was so real"
"Come"
I cuddled up to him again, he was warm and comforting and soon the nightmare left me, that was untill, I saw the newspaper.
