A Blood Hungry Beast

Hazel stood there frozen. The words had been told to her a thousand times by Stefan but she never paid attention to him. But now..

"Don't say that… there must be some way!" she shook her head adamantly. No! She was not going to believe it. She was told that he would never wake up, but here he was standing in front of her. If a miracle could happen, then others would be too. "There must be some way!" 

Rafael shook his head.

"I can feel the throbbing pain in my heart and desire to attack every single person I laid my eyes on. My senses had always been strong. I could hear the voices from another corner of the palace, I could hear the heartbeat of maids around me and I could hear the footsteps of people walking around me. But I have always been able to control them and pay attention only to the voices I wanted to hear.
