Huntress: A monologue

I sit, tense, prepared in the hard desk

A knife slung across my back,

Two more concealed within my boots

My instincts tell me one is near

Prepared, I wait in silence

Teacher drones on, class is nearly done

Monotonous silence nearly gone

I gaze around and finally

My opponent locks eyes with me

Her eyes are black & hard

Her skin as cold as death

She flashes a smile and I can't help

But flinch a little bit.

Bell rings, class flees

I move swiftly, silently

In order to catch my prey

She is a hunter, in her kind

She is the strong, we are the weak

But the truth is she is weak

My kind have hunted hers for years

In silence and darkness we strike

Finally I catch her, she tries to run,

She is no match for me.

She bears her fangs,

Goes for my throat, falling for my trap

As she strikes, so do I

Grab my knife, strike her heart,

Obliterate her power.

I replace my knife and turn away

Let her dies alone

As she dies a single word passes my lips:

"Vampire."
