Capriciu's PoV -

     No, no, no... This can't be happening.

     First, I lost my spirit animal, Gandire, my poor little bat... I sobbed just thinking about him. One day after we lost the war Gandire wouldn't come out of passive state. Then his tattoo started to itch and burn. The next day I woke up with two giant bat wings attached to my back. I had ran away from home that night. As the weeks went by I became more and more like Gandire.

     I've survived like this for three weeks now... this is the day I feared the most. I starred at my reflection. Two large fangs protruded from my mouth. I hissed at my reflection. Even worse was the voice in my head.

     You know you need it... how else do you plan on surviving...

     I fought the urge but caught myself salivating a little... Blood. I wanted it so bad. I bit into my wrist again, my fangs dug in deep till a jolt of pain told me I found the vain. Warm blood flowed over my teeth and into my mouth. I hungrily gulped it down but my own blood never satisfied me. I had to obtain nutrients, not just keep sucking my own. I couldn't though, there would be no way I would stoop that low as to drink someone else's blood... Never!

     You know you want to, Capriciu...

     "NO I DONT, SHUT UP!" I yelled at the voice out loud, hoping for it to leave me alone.

It didn't matter if I shouted anyway, I was alone in the woods. After the war I had went back home to my family, I was going to take my job as a scribe back. Life was looking okay. My boyfriend Drew had promised to come visit me and my mom was glad to have me back, I felt loved. But now, I don't have anyone... Not even Gandire.

You have me...

"You're different than my family or Drew, I don't want to have you, you're not even real," I sobbed feeling more alone and hungry than ever.

How can you say I'm not real when I'm obviously so good at helping you make decisions... For example, I bet Drew's blood would be warm and have a sweet metallic taste...

"I'm not hurting Drew, shut up!" I replied.

I continued my walk in that dark forest, trying to clear my head. Every once in a while I would call out with sonar to make sure I wouldn't fall into a river or anything. A squirrel ran in front of me. I hesitated a moment before chasing after it. It ran up a tree but I simply flew up to where it was hiding, I snatched it from the tree. I was starting to scare myself, without hesitation I bit into the squirrel's shoulders, my fangs penetrating its thick fur and muscles, I felt blood run over my teeth. I almost gagged...

Disgusting... human blood would be much better...

I growled with the squirrel still pinned in my teeth, it slowly went limp. I had drank all its blood. I heard small chirps and squeaks from within the branches of the tree. I pushed back a limb with the hand that wasn't holding the dead squirrel. A baby squirrel looked back at me. I glanced down at the now dead squirrel I was still holding. I killed their mother...

Drink their blood too, it'll die anyway.

"What kind of logic is that!" I hissed but a part of me thought that that was a good idea, I was still so hungry.

Instead I picked up the baby squirrel, I rested its head on my chest where Gandire's tattoo had faded. I placed the mother squirrel's body in her nest and silently I promised to take care of her kid.

There was rustling in the bushes below, someone was walking down the same path I had walked just moments before. The little squirrel erupted into a fit of chatter. "Who's there?!" came a very familiar voice from below.

Drew... Now's your chance, remember, that sweet blood...

My heart started to race. Partly, because I was starving and there was human blood right there. Also, because he was my boyfriend who I hadn't seen since the war ended and who I knew would never see me again. I couldn't let Drew see me this way, bat wings and large fangs. He would hate me. I hated me. His blond hair with blue highlights practically glowed in the moonlight. From here I could see his customary tattoos that ran the length of his arms and back. I loved him and I missed him so much. He was right there...

"Capriciu... is that you," Drew called out, how did he know I came here!?

There's no witnesses, he wouldn't even see you coming.

All of a sudden a new surge of blood lust passed over me. The squirrel had quieted down, I placed him in my pocket as I slyly lunged at Drew. I wrapped my arms around him and bit hungrily into his neck, I found a vain and gulped down the blood. Drew laughed a little, "I knew you would find me, Capriciu," he relaxed into my grip, "I trust you, you wouldn't do anything you regret..."

His blood was so sweet but the more he spoke the less appealing his blood became. I just wanted him. I detached my fangs. I ran my tongue over the droplets off blood that still oozed from my two indentures. "Drew...," I spoke his name, it sounded foreign on my lips, "how did you know I would be like this."

"It's kinda the GreenCloaks's job to keep track of Erdas," Drew smiled, "There just happens to be other ExConquerors like you that are going through... changes."

I met his gaze, the same beautiful blue-green eyes that I've always known, it felt like a sin to look at him with my crimson red eyes. "Really... I'm not alone," I smiled for what felt like the first time in months.

     Drew's eyes watered a little and he hugged me tightly. I hugged him back too. Then Drew planted a kiss on my lips, I smiled into it before kissing him back. "Of course you're not alone, I was here for you the whole time, did you really think I would hate you just because you got a pair of sexy wings?!" Drew laughed.

     "It's fine if you do hate me, I would too," I gave a sad smile only to be cut off by Drew's lips.

     "Don't ever say that, Capriciu, you're handsome, smart, and your my boyfriend," Drew smiled, "by the way, we're going back to your house now..."

     "Drew, I can't, I don't want my family to see me like this," I worried, "What if I hurt them?!"

     "Your mom told me you ran off and she said if I found you that I should bring you back home, I even told her about the others like you but you're her son and she wants you with her," Drew smiled, I felt pure happiness swell inside me, I was loved!

     "In that case, I'm happy to get back," I kissed Drew and gentle held him in my arms bridal style, I flapped my wings and we were in the air, heading home.
