Preface

I turned to run away to where I had heard the bears initially, but it was too late. There I saw the body not of a male hiker as I thought; it was the body a young girl no older than seventeen. I got closer to observe her and as soon I saw her face I was able to control my thirst, I blocked her smell as best as I could as I kneeled next to her motionless beaten body.

I checked for a pulse and I felt the weakness of it, she was cold and purple and I knew that she was slowly slipping away.

I saw her and I knew I couldn't let her die, if someone had that power it was me. I had to stop her from dying I had to, for she reminded me of my own daughter.

I had never tasted human blood and I didn't know if I was going to be capable of stopping, but I had to try, I just had to. I bended down to her neck and placed my teeth on it, once I felt her warm blood in my mouth I felt that I was in heaven, but I knew that I had to control myself for her to survive. I only did what I had to, and soon I was replacing her blood with my venom.
