Beyond the Invisible
He stared at his reflection in the mirror; he'd come so far to achieve that one small victory, that one step towards mortality.
I look into the mirror
See myself, I'm over me
The glass in his hands was the first step away from that goal. The first of many steps he would take tonight. But he had a reason – a damn good reason. And for the first time, no regrets. He swallowed the contents of the glass in one quick motion.
I need space for my desires
Have to dive into my fantasies
She glanced around the apartment, making sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Sydney purred, rubbing her ankles. She took a moment to cuddle him before leaving. Her neighbor had agreed to check in on him and feed him while she was gone.
The drive to the loft was filled with thoughts of the future and of her upcoming vacation with a certain blond haired, blue eyed homicide detective who'd stolen her heart so long ago. Her coworkers had declared that it was about time they admitted their feelings for each other.

I know as soon as I'll arrive
Everything is possible
Cause no one has to hide
Beyond the invisible
She tried to calm the butterflies in her stomach as she made her way into the lift and pressed the button to take her to where he waited. It was finally sinking in that it was really happening.
He heard her unique heartbeat when she arrived. He waited by the door, able to detect her special scent as the lift neared the top. His heart beat twice in anticipation.
Close your eyes
Just feel and realize
It is real and not a dream
He welcomed her with a smile and a slow, gentle kiss, with just a hint of the passion that lay beneath. Her heart raced, her breath quickened as he took her hand and led her upstairs.

I'm in you and you're in me
It is time
To break the chains of life
If you follow you will see
What's beyond reality
"For eternity," he whispered just before his fangs pierced the soft skin over the pulsing vein.
"For eternity," she replied as the darkness claimed her.
