Encounter with the Vampire lll
I saw the woman, raven haired, deep black eyes, she was goth extreme. Michael saw her too. This was the end of my life.
Would you believe a Vampire could love? No? sure they can, believe it or not, all God's creatures are capable of love.. all God's creatures, I'm one of His, at least I was.
I'd adjusted to my blood lust, I was able to control my hunger, metamorphosis was a little harder to deal with. The stretching of muscle, the tearing of skin, the breaking and realigning of bone was beyond comprehension.
During the day, we slept, in the darkness, we fed from each other, Michael was gentle with me, I loved to watch him change, his touch was cold but, it never failed to excite me. I had become used to the sickly sweet smell and enjoyed inhaling his scent. And all these things were true of me also.
As soon as his teeth pierced my skin, the sensations permeated my brain, seeped deep into my insides and his pleasure was just as evident as mine.
Once I had proven myself and lured prey, Michael furnished our meals, we shared our kills, we satiated our hunger for prey and for each other, life, death was good.
Still, I remembered my days in the sun and sometimes there was a longing, to feel the warmth on my cold skin, sometimes I wished I could pray, I wished I could be closer to my god.. but, He was no longer my god, was he? I asked Michael, had he ever felt the same..
His answer had been a snarl, he'd remarked the sun was nothing but a big ball of fire, god was no one and nothing to him, why should he wish for someone he didn't know and, had never known. He'd stared deep into my eyes, then, in no uncertain terms, he told me to never speak of god, or the sun to him again. God was nonexistent and the sun was our enemy. still I wished, however, I kept my wishes to myself, you see, I loved.. him, I found though he.. was not capable.
The night I saw the woman, she was my pick for food but, Michael hesitated. That wasn't like him, she was close to a public place, that had never stopped us before. I insisted and he became angry. I didn't know what to think, I let it go.
The woman was left to live, one more day, how fortunate for her, we found food elsewhere. We slept then, full satisfied, I, in his arms.
It was evening, time to feed, time to leave this place and go out into the night, but, Michael was gone. I searched for him in the underground, he was not there. Maybe, he was on the prowl. I sat back to wait.. I felt the burning start, it was getting close to dawn and he hadn't come back. Panic set in, had something happened? I walked into the dark room and lay down, I had gone to rest without feeding before, it wouldn't kill me but, it was uncomfortable.
Michael stood over me, I was relieved to see him, I was also very hungry. The woman stood next to him.
She didn't try to run, she didn't appear to be afraid, I saw the slight protrusion of teeth just below her top lip. I realized, I knew, I became angry.
I jumped from my bed and grabbed the woman trying to tear out her throat. Michael caught me with a back hand that sent me flying across the room. I felt no pain, not physically.. It was explained to me then that she would be his queen. And I made a decision.
The sun was so beautiful, glancing between the shutters I wished to feel it, I wished for it to heal me, I knew it could, just wanted to let it touch me and make me warm again.
I walked into the room where Michael and his new queen lay. I leaned over and kissed his lips lightly.. I couldn't cry, I had no tears, I could only feel. Life, death was not good anymore.
The drapes were heavy, I didn't need much strength, they fell..
Sunlight exploded into the room, the woman screamed and caught fire, I laughed, Michael looked at me, his skin started to smoke, he didn't make a sound, I watched my arms darken, I walked over to him, he held me close..squeezed me tight as the sun touched us, melting us together.
Warming my skin, cleansing me, cleansing him, pure complete destruction..
This was my end but, I would not leave him here, not with her, I was a Vampire, I was also a woman, just as in the life I'd known before and the death I knew then, I would not share my place, I would not share him, I'd given up too much for that. although I had relinquished my soul, he had only given me the two choices, which one out weighed the other? I had made my choice and we had spent eons together, and we would spend eternity together.. He is mine, forever, absolutely, completely..
