• nose in the air,
    hair standing up,
    I catch the sent,
    I disappear.
    rushing, rushing,
    faster, faster,
    I found your scent,
    I wont lose it again.
    the full moon shining
    and my new self awakened,
    I dash through the woods,
    dashing straight to you.
    guided by my nose,
    your smell leading the way,
    I draw closer and closer,
    I am almost there.

    seeing you walking
    alone by yourself,
    I make my move
    and appear to you.
    bathed in moonlight,
    cloaked in the dark,
    I stand before you
    face to face.
    you see my teeth
    and razor claws;
    you witness my eyes,
    a burning crimson.
    you tremble in fear
    and fall to the ground,
    you try to scream,
    but make no sound.
    with every step,
    you crawl back,
    again and again,
    until the wall.

    still short of breath,
    and trembling still,
    fear grips tight
    and wont let go.
    I look you in the eye
    and speak what I can:
    "Don't fear me.
    I won't harm."

    little by little,
    you try to stand,
    still unsure
    of what to believe.
    you stretch out your hand
    with trembling hesitation,
    you reach out
    to touch me.
    your outstretched hand,
    as frigid as winter air,
    saps every ounce
    of my warmth and strength.
    filled with my warmth
    from a simple touch,
    you begin to relax
    and trust in me.

    with all the strength
    I have left in me,
    I reach out to you
    and pull you close.
    you close your eyes
    and rest your head
    against this beast
    and all his horror.
    you find solace
    in the arms
    of this monstrous
    and terrible creature.
    a vicious animal
    and a beautiful woman,
    held in each others arms
    without a second thought.
    both hearts beating
    at the same steady pace,
    both minds at peace
    focused only on love.

    I lean forward
    sinking my teeth,
    ever so slightly,
    into your neck.
    in mere moments,
    you will be like me,
    and we will live forever,
    together peacefully.
