Halloween Secret
It was late night when we finaly left the masquerade ball in the Oceanview hotel. I was dressed as Anthy Himemiya, the Rose Bride from Shoujo Kakumei Utena. My date, Tracey, was dressed as the classic vampire. Boy, he looked so hot in those fancy black clothes with the cape flowing behind him. We had a wonderful time at the ball, dancing and drinking the night away.I've got to admit, we were a little drunk as we made our way to the edge of the cliff that overlooked the bay. Heck, we were dancing on the way there. When we got there, we leaned against the railing and looked up at the night sky. The salty sea breeze blew in our faces.
"The full moon is lovely tonight, isn't it?" he asked me in a dreamy tone."Mmm...yes it is," I responded, just as dreamy.
Tracey wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled my head close to his. We lock lips in a passionate kiss that tasted as sweet as the wine we drank earlier (or maybe it was the wine). After we pulled away, I looked into his deep brown eyes and got lost in them, as if I were in a trance.He turned me around and put his arms around my waist, holding my body close against his. He presses his nose against the back of my head. I feel the slight movements of his lips as he begins to breathe into my hair. He brings up his right hand to stroke my cheek. I place my hand over his. That's strange...he has such a cold touch...but it really didn't matter to me.
"Ah, Trace...I love you too," I slurred."I know..."
He let out a sort of depressed sigh. When I tilted my head back to look up at his face, I saw he had a solemn and serious expression on."Something wrong?" I asked.
"No. I just have to tell you something.""Shoot, go for it."
"Promise not to freak out?""What exactly is it that makes you think-"
"Do you promise?""All right."
As I looked away from his face, he began to roll my collar down. I wonder what he's up to."I have lived for centuries and I've always had to see my lovers grow old and die. It really hurts me a lot and it's led me to believe this eternal youth is a curse..."
"Centuries? Eternal youth? What...""Shh...let me finish. Time and again, I've always been left lonely... But it ends here tonight. I've found you, and you're a love that hurt too much to eventually lose. I never, ever want to go through that..."
"Trace, y-you're starting to sound crazy..."I looked back up at his face. His deep brown eyes were now a glowing red. His mouth was slightly open. I saw two long, noticably sharp teeth...
"Oh my...Trace, you're...you're...""...a real vampire? Indeed I am."
I turned my head to look away. I was shocked, but he is still the man I love... It's quite sweet of him to grant me what he has because he doesn't want to lose me...but still... Decisions, decisions and not enough time to think..."Happy Halloween, my sweetheart..." he whispers into my ear.
I felt his fangs dig deep into my tender neck...THE END
