Synopsis: Vlad knows he's a time bomb; he just wished they didn't treat him like one.

Ooh lots of similes!
Inspired by some words by Bruce Banner in the stellar film Avengers. :)

It's been quite a while since I posted something on blood bites! So here's a something :)

Time Bomb

You're sure they're counting the seconds; you KNOW they're counting the seconds. It's only matter of time, you know until it becomes too much, until you snap like an angry werewolf that's had too much moonlight.
You blame yourself for your imminent break down as you are sure that if you had done things differently you would not be heading down the road to insanity. But, it might not have changed a thing.

You wonder what will become of your mind when that breakdown happens, you wonder if you will just not care and those feelings will drain away like blood from a victim; you know you should not dwell on these things as it only unhinges you further but you cannot help but wonder what you will become.
You cannot hope to guess.

Jonno is unaware of your mental health spiralling downwards, you do not plan to tell him until it is too late as you do not want a shrink, you do not want to be saved yet you do.
Miss McCauley suggested a therapist, in fact she insisted commenting on how much Ingrid benefitted from it. You shrug and go back to drawing disturbing images on the desk which Miss McCauley will have a nightmare cleaning later.
You really don't care.

Your family are partially delighted at your changes but they know that if they put so much as a toe out of line you will wipe them from existence like an irritating wing itch.

You cannot bring yourself to care that as your freedom comes to an end so does your sanity, it is exhilarating in some way how not feeling feels so good.

You know why it's happening, because of what you did to Erin. You're a vampire; you poison everything you touch. One day the guilt and pain will catch up to you and you will explode like an overloaded garlic grenade. You try not to think about how soon that day might be.
