The Bedeviled

They bark, I bite

...

The moon lay still through the sky. It was as if time stopped and all the noises of the cold dark night seized to exist. The animals grew quiet, the towns people grew afraid, as they knew my presents was near.

I stretched my long legs out in the moonlight and licked my lips in excitement..I could hear someone walking against the stone paved road, entering into my trap I've set just for them. I was ready to devour, animalistic at just the thought of tearing the flesh from their body and watching there face become demented with pain and torture until they couldn't take it no more.

It was the thrill of a beast..

..and I loved every second I could drain from them.

I could smell them now, a fragrance of lavender oils and cherries filled my nostrils..could this be...

I ran down the hill and into the trees as fast as I could, tracking down her addictive scent. The thorns scratched me as I leaped over the bushes in an attempt to reach her faster. I knew she heard me, as I sensed she was running away along the path, kicking up the rocks in an attempt to get away. I jumped over the cliff and landed hard in front of her path on all fours, the ground shaking under me. She looked horrified and out of breath, her eyes were filled with fear...and innocents. Her body shook and she stepped backwards only to trip and fall on the floor. I walked over to her and lifted my head up high.

And sniffed her beautiful hair...

She was so pure..so beautiful i couldn't hurt her...something inside of me cried out desperately not to dare touch her.

She looked up at me..and i could see the fear drip from her eyes.

She carefully put her hand out toward me. With the slightest hesitation, I watched her graze her soft hand against my cheeks.

"...you...you are..."

I waited for her to finish speaking, maybe she was the one..the one to bring me back..my heart beated excitingly waiting for her to finish..

"..Your Ro-"

SLICE

"...."

"fUCK-" I yelled in pain, waking up to my annoying sister nibbling my arm. "I told you to wake up but you wouldn't listen to me dumbass...wait, were you dreaming of her again?" A sinister smile appeared on her face as I got up and pushed her off me. "Shut the hell up Valicia...what goes on in my head is none of your fucking concern." She laughed and walked out of my room with her backpack, going to the kitchen table.

I rubbed the scar on my neck, feeling the agony as if it was the exact time id been struck.

Clear in the neck with an axe.

I grimaced and got up from the bed, throwing on some shirt lying on my desk. This was pathetic..the way I lived my life now. In the villages in England, life was so different, so easy.

Now over 200 years later and i'm going to fucking school...are we just making a mockery of ourselves? Do we own man anymore or do they own us? God this was so pitiful ..

"Rocco, come get your shit from the table." My mother yelled at me from the living room. I trotted over there and grabbed my back, filled with nothing but my lunch and some papers. "This is so fucked up, why are we wasting our time and not trying to get rid of our..problems." My mom and Valicia looked up at me with annoyed faces and ignored me. "You always ask the same damn questions Rocco...just shut up and deal with it." I slapped the bacon out of Valicia's hand and ran out the door. "What THE FUCK-" I ran into the car and put the keys in, laughing to myself and driving to Winton High school.
