The Embrace

Those eyes. Like pits of damnation. Like orbs of black steel. I stare into them and I am lost. My mind screams for release. Fear- Her caress lingers on my face for a heartbeats and then her finger drift around my neck. Her eyes, so gentle- they offer me no mercy.why can't I scream?

Like a wolf she pounces. Her fangs fake across my throat and pierce my skin. A blaze of heat; rapture. She licks at my essence as it pours from my gullet, then begins to suck. I cling to her like a drowning sailor, like a lover. My rock. My lust!

My senses spin into the night, reaching out for solid ground. I clutch at the lapel of her cloak. If there be a Heaven, I pray I go there soon. If there be a Hell, I know I am there now. I feel my life slipping away. My eyes are blurring; I let out one last moan, one of pleasure not pain. Sutting out the world of darkness and pain, I rise up, leaving my twisting and heaving body. Th last sand falls through the hourglass. It is calm here; I am at peace.

This be death, the unmaking.... Heat! Pain! Confusion! I smell bitterness. The cold fragrance wrenches my soul from its rest. She holds her wrist toward me. Oozing life, its red gleam beckons to me. I know but one thing: I must drink to live. Oh Lord pity me! Like an animal, I lunge. Greedily I suck at her skin. The hot liquor caresses my mouth. I welcome its warmth. Nerves given up for dead return to painful vitality. I try to scream. The life flow continues unabated, filling me. The pain becomes ecstasy. Such exquisite, living agony. We become one.

What have I become? With a cry, I grasp wildly for the source of life. It is gone. I collapse to the floor. The crash of broken glass resounds somewhere nearby. I am alone. With the gift of life still heavy in my stomach, I sink into the realm of nightmares.

"What are we? The damned childer of Cain? The grotesque lords of humanity? the pitiful wretches of eternal Hell? We are the Vampires, and that is enough. I am vampire, and that is far more than enough. I am that which must be feared, worshiped and adored. The world is mine-- now and forever!"
