(How long must I wait?)

.

.

.

All I see are shadows.

Twisting, turning, writhing-they are in pain. Pain they cannot escape.

I am their pain.

My fangs sink into their shape, piercing invisible flesh, glittering crimson with the force that gives them life.

Blood.

Dripping, dripping…

It tastes so sweet.

But still I hunger. Their blood does not last.

Then I see you.

You are a different shadow. Your life is different-I can see it moving, surging inside you.

I want it.

But you see me coming-send a creature to attack me, and I feel claws rip through my form but that can't be possible and then I am falling-

My world is engulfed in a burning red light. I shriek, a high, horrible sound-then the world disappears into blackness. The pain is gone.

After what seems like centuries, I am freed from my dark prison. I see you.

My smile twists into a sneer of hatred and disgust. I want to rip your body to shreds and feel your sweet, sweet blood run down my throat.

But I cannot.

So I must put on a fake smile as you reach out to me. I pretend I am your friend as you walk beside me. I play your protector as I win these battles for you.

But I wait.

I wait for my moment of freedom.

A grin slowly stretches across my face as that thought enters my mind, and you mutter something unintelligible and reach down to pat my head. My smile grows even wider.

It will feel so good to destroy you.
