Untouched

I could feel the heat coursing through my body as i swallowed a gulp of blood. The coppery taste charged through my body like energy. The body beneath me let out a last whimper and fell lifelessly onto the ground. my eyes rolled back in my head. I need to have more... My eyes fluttered open and i searched hungrily in the night for my next victim. Never had the hunger been this intense. My only purpose was to drink, the bear i just had wasn't enough. I really am becoming a vampire arn't I? I tried to stop myself. No You can't have too much! You know what will happen! I couldn't pull myself away when i spotted a mountain lion. They weren't uncommon in this part of Alaska. My eyes narrowed and my muscles tensed, I was about to pounce.I licked my lips, i could almost taste the sweet metalic nectar. The mountain lion sat on a nearby cliff. Perfect chance to strike! I slowly creeped around the cliff and slowly began to climb up the back. I couldn't hear anything but the faint beating of it's heart. I caught a whiff of it's blood and the frenzy took over.

Before i knew it i tackled the beast off of the cliff and into a nearby lake. It scratched and bit furiously but i didn't feel a thing as i plunged my fist into it's heart. Intstantly the Lion fell limp and blood pooled around us making the water turn red. I threw it's still beating heart into the water and bit into the gash where i had torn out it's heart. The liquid flooded into my mouth and i couldn't stop. It felt so good to drink live blood again. I drank until the lion had no more to offer. By now i knew my whole face was caked and spattered with blood but i didn't care. The only thing going through my mind was how great it tasted to finally have a chance. My bones felt reenergized and i could feel myself getting stronger. Nothing could stop me now...Nothing!
