The burning in my throat grew unbearably worse. There was only one thing that would satiate my hunger.

Blood. It was a vital need. More than just vital. Life-sustaining. (So to speak)

I ran faster, pushed harder. All thoughts fled from my mind. The seemingly unquenchable thirst blinded all else.

Then, I found what I was searching for. A scent- a warm one, gave me hope of a satisfying meal.

Creeping silently through the trees of the forest, I let the predator emerge and take over in me. Releasing to nothing but my senses and animal instincts.

I attacked without a second thought. Before the animal even had time to realize any danger,the blood flowed no longer through its body. I drank deeply, relishing the warmth and texture. Soon- too soon, it was dry.

I paused a moment to let the blood flow through my own body.

I slowly opened my eyes. I suspected now that they had returned to their former color, rather than glinting black.

Now that my desiccated throat had been temporarily relieved, I took in my surroundings with increased awareness. The animal, I had finally realized, was a large stag.

I hadn't even known what it was till after it was drained. It could have been a human, and I wouldn't even have noticed.

I sighed heavily and quickly disposed of the lifeless body. It was never enough feeding like this- just enough to resist. I was no where near having any self control with humans. That's why I was here, foolishly hiding from them.

Looking around once again, I observed the forest in its entirety. It was dense and thick, dark and ominous. No human would be stupid enough to journey this deep into the menacing woods.

I moved forward at a much slower pace thinking.

It must be extremely odd for one of my kind to choose a lifestyle such as this. To feed on animals rather than humans. But this was my decision. And I was sure there were others like me. I was in search of such ones.

I heard a distant sound I didn't recognize at first. It snapped me out of my reverie. It was a car. I paused contemplating. I did not know where I was. Somewhere in the north, I suspected. I had been wandering aimlessly for weeks searching… I wasn't even sure for what exactly. I moved faster now, following the sound, but still warily.

I found a break in the trees just ahead but did not go though. I heard a few passing cars more clearly now on a nearby road. I stepped slowly out of the brush stealthily, remaining unseen.

I spotted a large sign next to the road which read:
