If Only

I can't go outside. I've been denied that luxury since I became the very thing that I hunted a few days ago. If I even stepped from this room, the sun would begin to pierce my skin like thousands of needles. Not to mention, the insane thirst that would come right after. Hearing the heart beats of many people as they walked past, or let alone exhaled into the air.

No. It was safe to stay in my motel room, where the sounds and thirst weren't as heavy and nerve wracking. I want it badly though. I don't know how much longer I can contain the monster within. So I just sit here, on the chair at the table, staring out the tinted window from my room. Waiting…hoping…for the sun to set and the nightmare that had become my life to vanish.

If only I didn't turn my back on that bloodsucker, then I wouldn't be like this.

If only I hadn't let my guard down around my missing friend, who had been changed by them; believing that she was still the same and that they didn't do anything to her.

If only…I can go outside.

If only…I can be saved.
