The Hunter

by Animus   May 22, 2007


The hunter grins at me from across the room.
I shiver with anticipation.
Being prey is something I would never wish on anyone.
He has me trapped in this room.
No escape.
Nothing but death awaits me.
The hunter walks across the room to kill me.
I squeeze my eyes shut and wait.
Silence surrounds me.
I open my eyes and jerk back.
He is an inch from my face.
He grins with amusement.
He asks if I want to die or be reborn.
His voice is like molten velvet.
I shudder and close my eyes.
His lips are on mine before I can draw breath.
They are soft and inviting.
I melt in his arms and he catches me with ease.
He leans his head down and whispers in my ear.
I remember nodding.
I feel a sharp pain as his fangs pierce my throat.
I float in his arms as he drinks my life's blood.
I whisper for him to finish it, and he does.
I sigh with contentment as I sink into blackness.
