DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything related to Buffy or Angel they are property of well whoever owns them now....
Lurking in the darkness
In the shadows
Knowing that people are afraid of me
I realize that people are afraid of me
Even when it is I that is protecting them from a worse fate then I could provide
They are afraid of my kind
Afraid of the how at any moment
We could snatch you into the shadows
And sink our fangs into the throbbing veins in the crook of your neck
It is then that 3 options run through our minds
Not many of my kind consider them but there are some
We have the option of draining you dry and leaving you to die
Drink enough to quench the hunger and then let you go off in a daze
Or drain you enough and turn you into one of us
I am one of the unusual of my kind
I leave people dazed 99.9 of the time.
People also fear me because of what the media does to my kind
Publicizes us as killers
And some of us are
We kill with a song in our hearts and without a care in the world
I used to be like that
Until I killed the wrong girl and had a curse put on me by her people
Since then I have the knowledge of knowing that I will live out the rest of eternity with the guilt of knowing how many people I have killed
And how many lives I have ruined
I will leave you with this thought however
Do not fear me even though I am a vampire
Do not fear me because I am a dark angel
Do not fear me for I am who I am
Do not fear me for I am angelus
The one with the angelic face, the dark past, the loving heart, and the only vampire in the world with a soul.
