Captivate Me

Every rock of the boat sends waves of pain through me making my stomach turn. The crisp, salty air does nothing to ease the burning where the blood has clotted beneath my skin. The one eye I am able to open is of no use in the blackness of the night. Clouds race across the sky covering the moon and stars blocking me from the heavens and any semblance of light.
The crashing of waves on the receding shore line, the whimpers of women and children, and the grunts and curses of the Norse giants around me are enhanced because of my lack of sight and the pounding in my head. I flex my wrists. Painfully aware of the coarse, wet rope pinching them together.
Scrapping of oars in their ports stirs in the back of my mind making me register that with each second that passes I am moving further and further away from home.

Wings of Butterflies
Hoping to shake this human off once and for all, I twisted my body around rapidly with a plan to put my words into action. When I was on my way to push this man as deep into the floor as possible my body all of the sudden went rigid. When my body froze solid, so did my brain. It took me several seconds to get out of my trance and when I finally did, all that was running through my mind were two words. Those eyes. All of the feelings that I had been hiding for the last 160 years were now coming crashing down on me. They were literally shooting out from this human's eyes like fire. A fire that burned into my core.Complete

For the love and vampires
"I would say," she continues as she straddles my hips causing my eyes to bug out, "Ocean, you are the first person in my entire existence to give me butterflies, when I look in your eyes I see my purpose, a purpose I never thought existed.' And then I would lean down just like this, I would lick my lips," I find myself mirroring her actions, "and I would kiss you," And she does, "first on the cheek, then on your forehead, the on your neck."
