the rain slowed to a stop.
she tiptoed outside,
inhaling deeply the intoxicating air,
so cool and fresh after the storm.
the small puddles reflected
the silver glow of the full moon,
and raindrops gathered on the walk
glinted like a thousand stars.
the land no longer was familiar—
it was foreign and beautiful,
like the entrance to a far-off
fairy tale land.
the path was blocked with debris
and covered with thick mud,
and the moon was high when
she finally reached the ancient oak.
as he whispered her name—
low and sweet on the cool night wind—
and held out his arms to her,
she rushed to his side.
clinging to his chest,
she sighed softly,
enjoying the feeling of his arms
around her body.
as they stood there, embraced
by the darkness and one another,
he vowed to love her
until the stars vanished from the sky.
she closed her eyes and
relished the feeling of
his lips traveling down to the
base of her throat.
as his teeth broke through
the surface of her alabaster skin,
she sighed happily
and pressed closer to him.
slowly, as if time no longer matter,
he drank from her blood
as a babe does from its mother’s chest,
and sent the girl into eternal darkness.
