-Do Vampires Have Hearts-
~Prologue~
Pray to your god / Open your heart / Whatever you do don't be afraid of the dark / Cover your eyes / The devil is I
The pain was like a thousand thorns, spearing into every pore on his skin all at once. It hurt enough just laying still. He couldn't comprehend what it would feel like to move – to even breathe. He was afraid to look anywhere but above him. He was afraid to see the blood he felt, plastered against his back – his neck. How could this have happened? Why did he do this to him?
He said that he loved him.
Bang. The noise was of the bedroom door being broken open. The breath he was barely taking strangled in his throat in terror. He was afraid to see who it was – afraid that it was him, back to do even worse than he already had. He heard screaming and then his gaze was blotted with those horrible, red eyes. His scream came out in a broken, gurgled sound, the vulgar, metallic taste of blood painting his tongue. It hurt too much to try and get away.
The crimson irises were trapped in tears. Words tried to enter his ears but, all he heard was a frantic hum. His heart beat in a wild frenzy, begging him to move – to run away. He couldn't scream as he felt hands in his hair. He couldn't fight, he couldn't plead for mercy. Those eyes of scarlet raced with guilt and closed in regret. Then his head lowered to his neck.
The Devil's lips kissed his blood-stained skin and his teeth dove into his veins. His torn body jerked once at the contact and he was frozen. All the hurt drained from his skin with grueling slowness. The violent fire of his wounds was replaced with frost. He felt it settle over his skin and melt into his blood. As his eyes fell shut against the white canvas of the ceiling, he knew he was finally dead.
All the while, his killer sobbed, his tears mixed with the garnet betrayal on the bed sheets. They died together that night.
One night of the hunter / One day I will get revenge / One night to remember / One day it'll all just end
