When Blood Runs Cold

[MATURE CONTENT] A vampire's love is a dangerous thing. Beautiful and fiery, dangerous and domineering. A perfect lover, and, a perfect killer... 'A vampire is the world's perfect predator,' I was once told. 'Seduce you with a smile, a wink, a caress of your cheek, a kiss on your lips. Then they will rip your wings off with their bare hands, leave you flightless; yet in their tight embrace of death, enchanted, you would not even struggle. Not even as they drained each thick drop of blood from your pulsing veins. Vampires are as masterful as they are cruel, they would like nothing greater than to play the overlord in a game of life and death, of love and lies.

If this is true, it would take him little under an hour to have me dead. I should have been dead weeks ago. Maybe, I already am.

Unsteadily, she takes a sharp breath inward, clutching her hand over her arm with a pained expression on her face. Shortly after, the consciousness in her eyes drifts into a sullen dullness as memories sweep up her mind, dragging her away from the presence. Part of me wonders how much more she can possibly bear of all this. If my home had suffered the same fate, I'd...
