My beloved,
I am fully aware of what you are, and what you have become.
You belong to a world engulfed in darkness, while I dwell in the light. You hold strength that crush men's bones into dust, that would leave an army of the most courageous cavalrymen quivering in fear, a strength so great even the Devil cowers in fear.
Yet, I tremble just from venturing out of my bed.
But, I care not.
My feelings for you remain as they always were, unwavering and true.
Despite its frailty, despite the meaningless impact my life possesses in this world,
I love you.
Pathetic, is it not? A feeble human doting on a feared demon?
I ask you not to reciprocate these foolish feelings.
I only inquire that you be the one to bid me farewell as I depart this world.
With a low sigh, vibrating the entirety of his chest, he carefully folded the note, slipping into his coat pocket. After shielding all light from the world beyond with diaphanous drapes, he turned to the frail figure, filmy eyes resting on him, as she danced in that solemn sphere between life and death. Despite what little power her incapacitated body withheld, he found her worthy of regard, even admiration.
Such fortitude she still contained, wrestling with death since day one.
And here she laid, more courageous and intrepid than any knight, cavalier or paladin.
With a dark smile gracing his lips, his eyes radiating with a crimson light, he bowed humbly to this noble lady.
Mustering what little strength she held, she returned the favor.
The bed moaned as it withstood his weight. Despite his aura of evil, she only gazed at him with affectionate eyes, though weary and fading. With a soft grunt, she laced her arms about his broad shoulders, urging him to come closer. Pale, deft fingers knotted in her locks as fangs whiter than the moon's rays gleamed in the darkness. Breath, cold and lifeless, cooled over the skin of her neck.
With a animalistic growl, he sunk his teeth into her tender flesh, the sweet flavor of her blood coating his tongue, clouding his senses.
Releasing one more exasperated sigh, she sunk into a blissful state of numbness. Closing her eyes for the final time, her soul departed in serenity, her lifeless body limp in the arms of her supernatural lover.
Once he was sure her organic vessels were completely drained of her precious blood, he smiled down at her, brushing aside her locks to scrutinize her placid face, flawless as a porcelain doll.
After a gentle kiss upon her dry, frozen lips, he whispered, his devilish smile prominent in the darkness,
"Goodnight, my dear..."
