Epilogue: The Crossing
I sat next to him, pretending to be lost and needing someone. He took to this too well, and put his arm around me. This was my chance. This guy was obviously a player of some sort. I leaned into him and sank my fangs into his neck before he knew what was happening. The blood rushed into me in a hot, rushing flood. It was like a raging river on a hot summer day. When I had finished, I got up.
Ristat came out of the shadows and kissed me, licking the remaining drops of blood from my lips. I turned to look one last time. The victim lay on the ground in a huddled lump of rags. The blood was oozing out of the wound on his neck; painting the stairs with a dark crimson color. I sat there; staring at the flesh colored mound for quite some time.
Finally, with one last glance, I slipped into the shadows to disappear; the dawn was approaching. Since I had just recently fed, I would not need another meal for quite some time. All I needed now...was sleep. This is where my story had ended as a mortal, and began as a vampire.
As I walked home, I thought about my story. My adventures. Ristat walking next to me. Hand in hand we entered out safe haven, just as the sun was rising over the horizon. I think for the first time since then, I have really finally gotten used to being an immortal creature of darkness...Ristat's Dark Queen...
