When darkness falls the whole world goes to sleep except for a
select few. I am one of those few shunned by society, eradicated by petty
humans for years. Night is my time to shine, preying on those innocent victims
who lay asleep in their bedsdreaming dreams they hope to come true. I take
those from them and if I chose, give them eternal life.
Vanessa was 16. She had
been in love with the same mortal since she was 12. How petty that I, a freak
of nature did have to come along to destroy both of their hopes. Last year I
flew by, spying her out of the corner of my eye. That wonderful night I
was a shadow in the darkness, unseen by the human eye, dropping by and
disguising myself in human flesh. You see, we are a perfect race unlike the
pathetic and meek human race.
I walked up to her and to my surprise our eyes
locked together. She was to be my next victim until I fell in love with her and
she fell in love with me. For the next few years we met secretly in the night,
her ignorant self never knowing or maybe just never asking why we met in the
blackness of the dark underneath the star-cluttered sky. If she did know
what I was she did not care.
That Nuisance Drake, her former lover, had suspected something...”maybe
I should eradicate him ... no. What would my sweet think of me then?”
Then, one
night it happened. My mortal mate and I had never locked lips before, but she put
her hands around me I could do nothing but do the same. She laid her beautiful
head on my shoulder exposing her lovely white neck. That was her mistake. I
could not help but let the animal in me take control. My teeth extended and my
eyes turned as red as blood. I sunk in. Blood trickled down her back and that
was the end of my sweet. I let her lay there on that hill.
Little did I know,
Drake had been watching. He knew what I was and it was only a matter of time
before I would be tracked down. That time came sooner than I thought. As I
walked away, forever tormented for what I had done, I could hearfootsteps behind
me. Then, before I could turn around to defend myself, a stake was driven
through my torso. I dropped, unsure of who did it or what had happened. Now,
contrary to popular belief, to kill a vampire it does not take a stake through the
heart. I returned to my cave dripping blood the whole way. And as I write my
letter to the world right now I am still in pain...awaiting death.
Before I
go I must let all humans know that vampires feel pain and love. I wish I could
join my love in heaven, but no... I will return to hell and await my fate.
The
pencil dropped and silence is all that could be heard.
THE END
