Kiss of the Moon
The area was dark. Lisa always hated the dark. But then again, what do you expect out of a ten year old.
"Hello?" she called out. "Sammy?"
Sammy, her best friend, always had a habit of sharing her dreams with her. It was weird, but when you had a nightmare, it was always nice to have a friend fight with you.
"SAMMY!!!" She screamed.
In the distance, she heard her scream back.
"Great…another nightmare." Lisa ran in the direction of her friend.
It took her about ten minutes of running, but when she reached her friend, she saw that Sammy was surrounded by large cloaked figures. And luckily, none of them saw her.
"I want first bite!" One figure screeched.
"No! I found her first!" A second replied.
"Neither!" Screamed a slightly taller one. "The master shall have her first."
Just as he said that, the crowd parted and a tall dark figure made his was to Sammy, who was huddled in the fetal position on the ground. Her golden hair Shined surprisingly well in the darkness around her.
The figure radiated with power. EVIL power. Lisa thought only of running, but worry for her friend overcame that more than anything else.
"Stand up child." The voice was deep and rich. Sammy stood, still trembling.
The figure crouched down in front of her.
"Fear. I can smell it all over you. Good. Fear is what makes meals so rich." The man began to lower his head to her neck.
"NO!!!" Lisa screamed and charges right at Sammy. Lisa managed to make it in time to tackle Sammy out of the large crowd and push her away.
"RUN! Get out of here!" She screamed at her friend.
Sammy ran and never turned back once.
Before Lisa could start running, the hooded figures grabbed Lisa and started pushing her around their little circle.
"Who do you think you are!?" one hissed. "You spoiled the master's dinner!"
"She needs to DIE!" said another.
Lisa began to do exactly what Sammy did. She curled up into a ball on the ground and began whimpering.
The hooded figures closed in on her.
"Wait." The leader said. "Stand aside."
"Master?" one said with surprise. "She deserves to die! She's not even worthy to be your meal!"
The rich voice chuckled. "I think I'm old enough to determine that myself."
The figures parted and the large figure, obviously the leader, stood before her. His face was still hooded as e bent down to her level.
"What is your name, child?" He asked softly. His voice was calm but still rang with demand.
"L-Lisa" she stuttered.
"You lost me my meal." It was a statement that rang with slight anger.
"Please!" Lisa cried. "Leave my friend alone! She didn't do anything! Eat me instead!"
The figures around them began laughing and the leaders raised hand stopped them.
"You would trade your life for hers?"
"Yes." Lisa sighed.
She couldn't see his face but somehow she new he was smiling.
"Raise your head."
Lisa tensed but did not move her head.
"Look at me." He commanded again. This time it was full of demand.
"What a pretty little girl." He sighed. "I wonder what you would look like in about 8 more years." The question was more to himself than anyone else. She could definitely tell he was smiling now. "Alright Lisa." Her name rolled off of his tongue. "I accept your deal. Your life, for hers. In 8 years, I'll come for my end of the bargain."
Lisa sighed with relief.
The figure leaned in closer to her and grabbed her shirt. Lisa tried to jump back but that only caused for her shirt to rip open. The grabbed her closer to him. She tried to squirm away but his arms were around her and his teeth sank into her chest.
Lisa screamed but his teeth were only there for a moment. He pulled away when she looked down.
The tiny holed were right above her heart.
"When this mark comes back, I'll be coming for you."
She looked up and was shocked at what she saw. She still couldn't see his face but she saw his eyes.
Deep, shimmering red…
At that moment, Lisa, age 17, awoke screaming from her bed.
