He sat straight up in bed, his eyes black and his throat growling. He couldn't control it anymore, Connor knew he had to eat. But instead of his mind thinking for him, the monster did. He grabbed Anna, the claws from his hands piercing into her arm flesh. She awoke screaming in pain. Her eyes watering from tears, she looks up at him. "Who are you! What are you doing! Please let go your hurting me!!" Anna didnt know it was Connor, she thought it was a demon sent to kill her in her sleep. Connor tried to snap out of it, he heard her heart beating fast. Fear taking over, drawing him in for a bite. "Thump...thump...thump thump...........thump" her heart sounded delightful. He tilted her neck.
Anna screamed, she threw her hands around and hit Connor in the head, his grip losed as he fell off the bed. She hurried off screaming Connors name, but the beast inside of Connor had been sucked back up into his soul.
He staggered up, "Anna" he whimpered weak. She turned around, "Connor! Did that demon get you too!" She ran to him helping him onto the bed.
He sighed so weak from hunger. "Anna...i am the monster, the demon, the beast. " he looked at her arm, deep wounds gushing blood. An yet some how he controlled himself. Anna shook her head and let go backing away, " no , no that's not true you would never hurt me!" She cried.
Connor looked at her with sad eyes. "My love I'm sorry, I didn't mean too. I should have told you, I tried not to eat because i wanted to protect you. I didn't want you to leave because of what I became." He said soft. Anna looked at him still in shock and disbelief. "Really? You did all that painful suffering for me?" She asked stepping closer.
Connor nodded " yes but stay away I might hurt you, I thought I was keeping you safe, when really I put you in extreme danger." Anna's eyes filled with tears, "baby can I do anything for you?" Connor seemed shocked "you still love me?" He sounded really surprised. He was a monster, not a lover, even though he hoped he could learn. Anna nodded, "yes, remember...for better or worse?" Connor smiled, his fangs a showing, but he didn't care. For better or worse.
