The Shattered Ones

The darkness was overwhelming and a strange light from the moonlight's reflection on the water was shining between the tall trees. He was standing there holding his hunt in his hands. Where else could he be? It was his home. Where he belonged. Darkness was where he felt safe and his dark desires (that once were his enemy) were his friend.

He looked around to make sure nobody's there with him. Actually it was like that there never was. Of course it wasn't always like this. Once he had found peace with 'her'. She taught him to see the world through better eyes. She believed in him and he needed it. She was his light but also the spark that set his life on fire and left it to ashes.

He was ready for the hunt. He almost had forgotten the taste of the warm blood that runs in the living bodies, humans. The taste of the fear and the joy and after that the bitterness of the hate and the guilt. It was bittersweet and he missed it. So he put down the unconscious body down and sat beside her and grieved for a moment. Poor girl, if she had any idea what's going to happen to her she would've wished for her death instead of unconsciousness!

He put his face closer to her neck. He could smell it. His breath on her face made the hunted girl awake. He did that on purpose. He wanted her to be scared from him. He wanted her to see the monster inside him shake every single bone in her body. He wanted to enjoy it., Because real hunters enjoy the hunt.

-"Are you going to kill me ?" a slight voice came out of her mouth that normal people wouldn't hear.

-"Yes!" he answered honestly.

-"Does it hurt?" she asked a little bit louder now.

He touched her face and continued to her neck. Than smiled and said "don't you worry sweetheart I'm an expert! "

She didn't seem to be afraid.

-"Than just do it!" she said fearlessly.

He was amazed. He was ready to hear anything but this! This girl was either too stupid or too brave

-"or maybe she doesn't have anything to lose" he thought . And soon he began to realize so does him.

He Stood up and reach out to her. His hand was in the air a little while until the girl took his hand and stood up.

-"What is your name?" he asked.

-"Elena" she answered incuriosity as if she had lost interest in whatever he was going to do with her. Definitely not kill her ! She felt safe now and she learned that through his green eyes that was fixed into her brown ones. That moment Elena felt his hunter could also be her savior. And she was right.
