"Apathy is the glove into which evil slips its hand"

Bodie Thoene


Apathy

Existence is empty: devoid of humanity, lifeless, the years overwhelmed by the depths of eternity.

Yet we experience. We go on to conquer, annihilate, control. And sometimes, everything isn't so bleak. Sometimes there's a spark. An ember glows, starting a fire within and we feel something.

That something is power. When I look into the eyes of the terrified, the damned and the powerless, I feel alive. As they scream and writhe, that spark warms my frigid body — a laugh escapes.

As a human, I burned. During transformation, my life was incinerated. Now that I'm a vampire, it's their turn.


A/N – I've wanted to write for a while, and this round of the Twilight 25 seemed a perfect opportunity to do it.
