The sweet blood running down my throat, filling my stomach and quenching my hunger. My prey is dead within minutes of my monstrous feeding.

            Takeru let the bloodless corpse fall to the trash covered alley pavement. He looked around silently and pulled out a small black handled pocketknife. He slashed the two fang marks on the corpse's neck and made it look like the person had been mugged.

            I feel better now. Everyone I know thinks I am the innocent boy of hope. How shocked they would be if they knew the truth.

            Takeru headed for home as he smiled and wiped a bit of blood off of his chin. He slipped into his apartment and sneaked to his room as his mom slept silently in her room. He sat down on his bed and looked at Patamon as he frowned.

            No one, except Patamon, knows my secret. I wish I could tell Ken about this. He would love to join me in my eternity of light. I only need blood other than that I am a normal human with strange adaptations.

            Takeru opened his mouth and ran an index finger over his small, but very sharp canines. He lay down on his bed and looked at the ceiling as he smiled.

            Fangs that pass for normal teeth but are as sharp as can be needed for feeding. My eyes are normal, except for a greater version of night vision. My hearing is normal and so is my strength. I prefer a willing victim to one that will put up a fight.

            Takeru closed his eyes and hummed softly to himself as he smiled. He pulled the covers on his bed over himself and looked out his bedroom window. He looked at the moon and sighed as he thought of Ken.

            Ken is like the moon in his own way, forever only able to shine when darkness covers everything. I could show him the path of those that walk in the light; evil that shows it face when the sun is shinning.

            Takeru curls into a ball as he frowned and fell to sleep as Patamon snuggled up against him. He hugged Patamon close and fell into a dreamless sleep as an image of Ken lingered in his mind's eye.

            I might just tell Ken my little secret. I might tell him of the darkness in the heart of the child of hope.

Mercy: Now that was a good Fic to dedicate to the upcoming holiday of Halloween.

Goth Ken: I am the secret love of a vampire Takeru?

Mercy: Yes dear Ken and I might write a sequel where Takeru makes you his lover for all of eternity.

Goth Ken: I feel so loved right now.

Vampire Tk: Oh you are, my dark love.

Goth Ken: I am doomed.

Wormmon: Mercy does not own digimon, but Goth Ken and Vampire Tk are hers.
