“Loneliness will sit over our roofs with brooding wings.” -Bram Stoker, Dracula

Chapter IV: Abandoned

As I’m locked in the small broom closet again, I lower my head in shame and feel one last tear stream down my face. My eyes feel enflamed from crying so much and I don’t have any more tears left to shed. I crawl up into a ball to stop myself from trembling, close my eyes and take my gold brooch between my fingers.

Family…

Friends…

Choices…

Dignity…

Happiness…

Light…

Safety…

Freedom…

Life…

Future…

All stolen from me.

For six days strait I fall in an out of consciousness. My dreams are consumed by fear, darkness and emptiness. Just when I manage to pull myself out of a nightmare another one drags me back into the horror of reality.  No one comes for me. No one feeds me. No one spares me a ray of kindness. Nothing. Loneliness is the only thing holding back the numbness. Anything would be better than this. I feel like I’m stuck in limbo, wedged between neglect and oblivion.

The full moon must be coming. I can feel it stirring my dormant flesh and bones. It’s not long now until I’ll meet him. The son of Lord Stoker is going to be my master. I will belong to him. He will have the infinite power to use and abuse me. A shiver ripples up my spine as my mind reminds me of the worst thing of all…

Drake is a vampire.

What can I expect?

Blood, sex and maybe even death.
