• The Craving

    Walking in the woods,
    I heard a strange sound.
    One I never heard before.
    As I got closer,
    I could hear It better.
    It’s heart beat.
    I looked to the horizon,
    And saw It staring at me…
    I started running, running,
    Running in the other direction.
    Towards the cabin, I ran.
    I looked around.
    I wasn’t moving.
    Behind me,
    It was closer.
    Following me, following me
    Staring It’s blank stare.
    Reaching out, reaching out.
    It grabbed my shoulder,
    Spun me around.
    I stared at It in the face.
    Death.
    There was nothing,
    Nothing but death,
    Seeping into my very soul.
    It’s sharp fingernails,
    Scraping, scraping my chin.
    I felt the blood,
    Running down my neck.
    Darkness soon joined me.
    Darkness, darkness.
    A sudden gust of wind,
    Light, light,
    The light of…
    Of what?
    I opened my eyes,
    Opened my eyes,
    And It’s bright red eyes,
    Met mine.
    Why, why,
    Why me?
    It’s thoughts entered my mind.
    Thoughts of death,
    Thoughts of darkness.
    The vampire.
    I looked at him,
    He just stared, stared,
    Stared into my eyes.
    His bright, red eyes.
    Nothingness…
    Nothingness all around me,
    Silence,
    Nothing.
    Again, Darkness.

    Around me,
    A pool of Blood.
    My neck, punctured,
    Bite marks,
    Blood, Blood.
    I had become one,
    One of them.
    The craving, the craving,
    The craving started.
    Running, running,
    Faster than ever.
    Following the scent of Blood.
    My Blood.
    In his mouth,
    In his soul.
    His thoughts were my thoughts.
    Our thoughts.
    Follow, follow,
    Follow until…
    Darkness,
    Until darkness.
    Numbness,
    Through my spine,
    Through my veins.
    The craving…
    The craving.
