Can you guess the fantasy creature plaguing the night?

I never feared the silence
Nor the stillness of the night
For that is when I seek my prey
Who can't hide from my sight

Some never relent the fight
And try to escape my clutch
Some know not to attempt to resist
And willingly submit to my touch

I feed among the helpless
I feed among the brave
I am the ultimate predator
And it's your blood that I crave

Next time you look to the shadows
Watch for the glint of my eyes
It is last thing you'll ever see
As you learn the truth of life's lies
