Harsh Reality

 

Angela Clarke

      Those of you who believe the stereotypes of a vampire are mistaken… we are not the evil species you take us to be… something a child might be told about as a scary story. Sure, some beings of our race are twisted and tormented… who would do horrible things…but how is that different from your race?…hmmm?

      There was this young girl I remember seeing one night at a club…she was so beautiful…so innocent…you could see it in her eyes. Innocence is a very rare thing to come by these days. When a child gets old enough to go out and explore the world-the world in which mass murders, war, suffering, fear, children killing children…things happen on this earth, chilling things enough to make my blood run cold. It is all enough to make a child lose their innocence quickly… it has been stolen from them, from their own harsh reality.

      Anyway… this girl… I wanted to save her, before it was to late. When she left the club, alone, I followed close behind…cloaked in shadows, unseen and unheard… as she was nearing an alley I saw another figure… and then the silver glint of a blade.

     Bastard!- I thought. And with blinding speed I grabbed him by the hair, holding a hand over his mouth and pulling him back into the shadows with me, just as the young lass walked by not noticing. I held my hand over his mouth keeping a painful grip on his jaw…tilting his face towards me and saying:

“tisk…tisk”

      Then snapped his neck in two. I think the pathetic sucker pissed his pants before it was over. Now here I must interrupt again- would that man has deserved to live? One less psycho or serial killer is all he is now. I like to think of myself as a judgement- a punisher for the wicked. I know many other vampires and higher beings have taken on this duty and role in life as well.

Because of this delay I had to catch up with the girl, about half a block away… I couldn’t wait any longer… I came up behind her and wrapped my arms around her, whispering in her ear:

     “whats your name, child?”

She froze…she could not see who was holding her or whispering in her ear, but she could feel me and hear me. Our race has that ability… to overwhelm the human senses, thus we can become invisible to them, read their mind, etc. This is because our race has more soul then they could imagine… it is so overpowering to their minds perception.

      I let my hands caress her arms, making her feel comfort… she held her head up and said:

      “Anita…”

      “Anita…” I repeated.

      I was very impressed, because even though she was afraid, she held onto her courage, showing she was strong.

“That’s a lovely name…” My breath getting heavier, tickling her ear… she closed her eyes, and I felt her muscles relax a bit.

      I let one hand slide over to her breast, caressing it slowly…she moaned. I must admit I always was a good charmer, and could make a lady feel pleasure with great ease.

      “Your very special...”

      I slid my hand from her breast and gently drew a line down her belly…taking in her scent…enjoying the warmth of a mortal close to my body.

She was beginning to get very relaxed…but then realized what was happening…she tensed slightly.

      “what are you going to do to me?” she asked, trying to keep her voice calm.

      I paused bringing my hand up to her cheek and stroking it.

“I’m going to save you…” I whispered slowly tilting her head and brushing my lips against her neck.

Surprisingly she seemed to tilt her head on her own with not much of my       force.

I closed my eyes as I sank my fangs into her flesh… my ears prickling with the sound of flesh being torn between my teeth. And so I embraced her… she turned out to be quiet the independent. I taught her how to live her new life, she stayed until she felt she knew all she needed to know and then one morning she was gone, leaving a gentile note thanking me and hoping we could meet again someday. I was upset for a short while… I would have liked to love her.

      About a three years later I heard she was hunted down and slaughtered in the most brutal fashion by Hunters… Humans believing they were doing the proper judgement! That wasn’t judgement that killed Anita… it was fear… they always kill what they fear.
