The Mystery Competition - Prompt: Write Poetry about Lorcan Scamander

Bad Movie Tuesdays: Poltergeist (2015) [emotion] Fear

Turning

The pool of blood cooled around the lifeless bodies

The monster that took their lives was long gone,

The two sons lay in the room, suffering in pain

How had it all gone so wrong?

~.~

It had been a small party, just their immediate family

It was supposed to just be the four,

The sound of the doorbell, the uninvited guest

They shouldn't have answered the door.

~.~

Too many manners and one too many guests

And his mother invited it in,

She knew what it was, but was too very trusting

But Lorcan was scared for his twin.

~.~

He saw the look in cold eyes, as it eagerly watched his brother

Lysander paled quickly with fear,

Lorcan realised it wasn't the first time they had met

They backed away from the creature's leer.

~.~

Their parents never saw it coming, for them it was over in seconds.

Laughing away, before screams and then nothing,

The smell of blood filled the room, as the creature turned back to them

His lips and chin red from all the sucking.

~.~

They backed away from its gaze, pulling their wands out

But the fear grew with each spell they cast,

Lorcan screamed for his brother to run, he'd distract it

But the creature was just too fast.

~.~

The bite was swift, left him drained, a burn running through his body

He tried and failed to fight,

A matching bite on the other twin, left him also burning

The creature disappeared into the night.

~.~

Lorcan questioned his brother, the creature: it knew him

It was time for his brother's confession,

With tears in his eyes, his brother talked about stalking

He had somehow become the creature's obsession.

~.~

They knew what was happening, what they would become

Their hands clasped together, it was too much to bear,

The pain kept running through them, they called out for Death to take them

But Death never answered their prayer.

~.~

Waking hours later, feeling more alive than before

His brother whispering about revenge,

The creature would return for Lysander

That's when they'd get their revenge.

Hope you all like. I don't usually try and write poetry unless it's Sirius poetry :p
