155 The unknown talk

Author's note: Apologies for the uneven update, I have been having a stye and the screen time has been irritating it.

The vampire limped in the darkness as he made his way away from Veteris and now in the forest. His vision was hazy, and he tried to keep himself up and awake. His fangs ached, and all he wanted to do right now was sink them in a human's flesh and feel the warm blood seep into his mouth and travel down his throat. 

At a distance, an owl that had perched itself on the branch of a tree hooted while watching the bloodthirsty vampire walk past the trees. 

When he came to a certain distance, he finally caught sight of a lone couple making out in the woods. He took a deep sniff of them from where he stood, and he ran his tongue across his lips. 

"Do you think it is safe to do it here?" the girl asked the boy with whom she had come to the forest. She looked back and forth while the boy cupped her face with both his hands.
