Child of the Night

My eyes followed him through the dark shadows as I involuntarily shudder. Warm arms slip around my waist as I sink back into the comfort I always know I can find.

Hold on to me love
you know I can't stay long
all I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid.
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?

I feel a pull coming from deep inside of me. Something I try and fight. But it continues to pull at me urging me away. Tempting me. Thoughts of loving green eyes are replaced by black mind controlling ones as I feel all rationale slip from my mind.

Holding my last breath
safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light
it ends here tonight.

My blood sizzles as cold fingers run over my neck. A warm calm feeling slides over me as I fall against the chest of my captor. Lips replace finger tips and soon a crimson trail runs down my neck staining my white shirt.

I'll miss the winter
a world of fragile things
look for me in the white frost
hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears.

I can feel my soul cry out for its mate, telling me to fight the feeling sweeping over my body in a seductive caress. My mind cries out for sanctuary in my white world of peace. Pain shoots through me leaving me gasping against it. Words flow and sooth over me. "Relax, it won't hurt if you relax." Letting these words take control of my body I feel something pressed to my lips. I drink greedily the cool sweet taste addicting. As I continue to drink, my body begins to slowly shut down.

Holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light ends here tonight

My lips are pulled from the tantalizing neck. I find myself staring up into those capturing black eyes as I am lowered to the ground my back against a tree. A trail of red runs down my chin as I hold my breath inside me, my heart slowing. Beating its last rhythm. I feel someone slip away as my heart slowly dies. My love and soul diminish with it as I forget what I once most cherished.

Closing your eyes to disappear
you pray your dreams will leave you here
but still you wake and know the truth
no one's there

My heart ceased beating my last breath dies in my lungs as I witness my death. My skin grows pale as I feel darkness take over me.

Say goodnight
don't be afraid
calling me
calling me as you fade to black

My eyes open and I look at the figure next to me, silently studying me with his powerful black eyes as realization sets in. I have become forever a child of the night.
