I ran away from the campsite in a haze. I can’t be around her right now. I don’t want her to see me like this.
This creature that I am. Can’t be seen by anyone, especially her.
“Victor? Victor, where are you?” I feel the distress in her voice as she yells.
I try to get my breathing under control because I can smell her blood all the way from here.
Damn it Victor! You need to get it together.
“Victor, are you alright?” I hear her say behind me.
I look over my shoulder. Her face looked so perfect in the moonlight. She must think I look terrible right now.
“Don’t look at me, love, I don’t want you to see me like this.” I blurt out.
Tears streamed down my face.
Then, my eyes land on her neck. Her silky, exposed neck.
I turned away from her, but she moved my head back to her. Her gentle hand on the side of my face.
“You don’t have to hide anything from me Victor. Whatever you’re going through we’ll do it together. I love you.”
Those words. That’s the first time she’s ever said that to me.
But I can’t resist anymore. I know I’m going to regret this afterward.
I fully turn my body to her, staring deep into her eyes. Knowing this will be the last time I’ll ever see them with life behind them.
“Forgive me for what I’m about to do, my love, but I can’t do this anymore.” I say, trying not to choke on my tears.
“What do you mean? Victo-”
She’s cut off by my fangs sinking into her neck. She tries pushing me away, but my arms are strongly wrapped around her.
I can’t stop once I start. Her blood tastes so much better than I’d imagined.
She starts to struggle less and less the more I suck.
I just can’t stop. No matter how much I tell myself.
I feel her body getting cold, which means she’s dying.
I removed my fangs from her, holding her now dead body in my arms as I caught my breath.
It’s only when I look down at her lifeless body I realize what I’ve done.’
“N-no. No!” I yell. Absolutely horrified. “M-my love, I’m s-so sorry.”
I start to sob. Tears big enough to hold in buckets.
I stare up at the sky. Tears still streaming down my face.
I hate what I am. I hate this side of me with every fiber of my being.
