The walk

It all happened last week, possibly the most confusing but scariest moment of my life. It was getting late, when my friends and I decided to go home after playing in the park together, then I saw her. She was standing there, standing there in the dark, not moving. Maybe I was seeing things, whatever it was, it was sending shivers down my spine. I only realised I wasn't seeing things when she started to walk towards me and she spoke. She kept telling me to go for a walk with her and that she wanted to be friends. I was always told not to talk to strangers but she seemed so sweet and innocent, I would have never thought she would do anything to me. She was a very beautiful woman and her skin, being as pale as it was, looked as if it was shinning in the moonlight. Her eyes sparkled and even though I was just a young boy, I felt like I was falling in love with her.

That's when we started our walk. She didn't speak much but when she did, her voice made me feel a bit queasy but at that point I thought I was just tired. When we got back outside the park gates, she sat down on the bench and told me to sit next to her, so I did. The bench was cold but she quickly wrapped her arm around me, keeping me warm. As the sky got darker and the moon rose higher, I could feel myself slipping away into a deep sleep but I tried my hardest to keep my heavy eyelids lifted. It was so quiet and peaceful and I could hardly see past the park gates it was so foggy and dark. She must have noticed my eyes drifting because she suddenly said that if I wanted to I was allowed to sleep on her lap. Looking back at it now I never should have trusted her, however nice she seemed. I wasn't sure if I was dreaming at this point but I could feel her lips touching my neck. I felt a slight tingling inside of me but I was in such a deep sleep that I didn't know if it was true or not.

Suddenly I heard shouting, I remember opening my eyes to see three people surrounding the woman. They were shouting at her to back off and leave me alone. I remember sitting there, dead still, in shock listening to the terrible things they were saying about the innocent woman that I fallen in love with. One of the people came over to me and told I would be alright and that they would explain everything to me. I could see the woman in the corner of my eye scurrying back into a cave like an insect going under their rock. The people told me everything about who she was and what she had turned into. I was so shocked, I left straight away and went home. The rest of the night I sat on my bed thinking of her and I figured out what her plan was and what she wanted from me in the first place, my blood...
