Monster

Part 3

I have to stop.

Pushing down the madness, i breathe in the musty scent of loneliness and regret. I was still in darkness but i could see something else,

Something new.

Something evil stirred within me.

The thing moved, whimpering it sat up and whipped it's head around blindly seeing only black.

I heard it's heart, beating erratically.

I smelt something else,

Fear mixed with an undesirable thirst for blood.

I stopped, coughing the creature gripped something tightly.

It smelt metallic and sharp.

Knowing it would harm me if my presence was known i crept forward silently.

Closer and closer.

Until i could smell the salty tang of tears.

In the darkness i had gained sight and i saw that the creature was shaking while clutching a small dagger.

It hesitantly took a step forward into the black.

Why quiver in fear if you wanted the satisfaction of spilling blood?
