Predator and Prey

A child of the night. Born to walk the earth forever, shunned from humanity. Our kind need the mortals to live…to feed.

I was stalking along, in the dead of night searching for my prey when it hit me. A scent so enticing and mouth watering, I nearly passed out. I clutched the wall for support, and ended up taking a chunk out of it. I was losing any ounce of humanity I had. I was becoming the monster that would stop at nothing to catch it's prey.

I ran at an inhumane speed through the desolate streets, to find whom ever it was that had that mind-boggling scent. A minute later I found it, or rather the human girl that wore it like an aura. I knew I shouldn't kill her, I tried to stop myself, but the monster in me won. I needed her blood and nothing else.

I followed her for a block, and then I couldn't resist any longer. I walked up behind her with the grace of a lion. She turned around and gaped. I knew what she saw: a beautiful bronze haired angel. I knew that everything about me was perfect, my voice, my body and face, the intensified senses, the strength and gracefulness that I possessed. I also knew that my eyes had changed form their golden color, to a coal black.

She started breathing very quickly her scent, a freesia I think became even more potent up close. The venom started to flow in my mouth, and I knew I couldn't wait much longer. At that point I went into full hunter mode. In one graceful move I had her pinned up against the wall, my head went to her neck, and I whispered "I'm sorry." At last I bit down.

As soon as I was finished I hid the body. The police couldn't find a beautiful girls' body drained of all it's blood. What would they say? Finally I walked back to my hotel with red eyes and a smirk on my face. The predator always catches his prey.
