Tainted by love in a world corrupted by hate. I've watched the world change around me for years, i've watched the humans progress, and i've learned a new way of life. A life that I have taken a liking to. It wasn't always that way, I was scared once. I had been sick, and I did not want to die...but now that I have chosen this life, I dont ever have to. So, the years have passed and i'm still here watching everything devolope and change around me. But yet, I always have stayed the same, always waiting. We walk along with these humans, looking similar enough to blend in, but their clueless as to what we are. Nevertheless, for all my existance they have just always been food to me. Somthing vital that I have never given a second thought to. Tonight, as I recall my past, I crouch on the ledge of an abandon rooftop, anticipating the perfect target to strike at. Below, I see many options, many humans that would be good enough for any other night...Not this night. All of them were appeling but yet, they lacked somthing...they had a certin something that was missing from their blood. Somthing I have been waiting for, for entirely all too long... I noticed him walking out of the corner of my eye. I smiled as I inhaled deeply and my hunger grew. Yes, he had that somthing I was looking for. And I could tell he was going be the perfect meal for my night out.
