Stone Cold and Heartbroken

A Night of Pain

When I had looked into his scarlet eyes, I didn't know who I was talking to at this point, only that this wasn't the man I once loved and adored; it was a monster. A cold-blooded monster that only yearned for my soul, to devour and claim as its own. Luckily, I wasn't that small-minded and knew exactly what to do; kill my 'lover' and throw that bastard into hell. He was no longer my fiancé or my soulmate, he was a demon who possessed such cruel desires and yet contained zero love in his rotting heart. Was I making the wrong decision? Would it make more sense to try and convince him that this isn't the person he truly is? Or was it right to allow that demon to take over and ruin the man who once had love in his heart and a smile on his face?

As I gripped the front of his shirt and pulled him down to reach my height, I immediately pressed my soft lips against his, praying that he would give in. To my surprise, he didn't break free, nor did he give in. He stood frozen as a statue while his crimson eyes softened, his eyebrows furrowing. Was he changing his mind? Was the man that I loved coming back?

A smile rushed its way to my lips, happiness filling me even if I didn't know what was going through his mind. I released my grip on his shirt and allowed him to pull away, looking up at him with eyes full of true happiness and almost true love.

"Greyson, I love yo-" my words of truth were suddenly interrupted by a pair of large hands gripping my shoulders, bringing pain like no other. It was rather difficult to open my eyes and see what was happening, for the pain I had been receiving was my only focus.

It had been only a few seconds before I could open my eyes and look up at him, but the sight being far too frightening.

"G-Greyson, please.." I begged, but there was no budge.

"I want you to feel my pain, I want you to feel it all." were the only words I could make out before my back was pressed roughly against a wall, the pain increasing by the second. I so badly wanted to scream and push him away, but the tears streaming from my eyes took all the energy I had.

"Beg!" he had shouted, that one word only bringing more tears to my midnight-colored eyes. I tried so hard to do as I was told, but only found myself growing weaker and weaker.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not very ladylike of you to disobey, I suppose you'll have to be punished." he had whispered into my ear, words that only made me afraid. How has he grown so calm? And why was he acting this way?

Forcefully tilting my neck to the side and exposing my skin, he brought his ice-cold lips to my neck. It didn't quite feel like a kiss, it feeling as if he was marking his territory. A hickey? Releasing a moan only consisting of pain, I allowed him to do as he pleased with my body; there being no way to escape him now.

I could no longer predict what he had been doing, only that he stood with his lips to my neck for a few seconds or so, that was until I felt a pair of sharp teeth dig into my flesh. It felt as if two razor blades had dug their way into my neck, the pain unbearable. I had no choice but to scream from the pain, my throat soon burning from the dryness it contained.

"Hush yourself, my love." He mumbled before placing his palm over my mouth, my screams now muffled. There was truly no point to scream, my body already giving out.

My eyelids grew heavy and arms dropped to my sides, he draining all of my blood to only satisfy himself. It hasn't been long before I could no longer feel or see anything, only the black that filled my vision.

There I stood, bruised and beaten on the cold floor. I had zero strength, mentally and physically, and had no choice but to lay still and wait for someone to find me. Although, as I waited, little did I know that both my innocence and humanity were both fading away; leaving me with immortality and very little hope.

That night had been my last night as a human, but also the first night as a monster; a monster we all refer to as 'vampires.'

A vampire that stood stone-cold and heartbroken.
