In part two you will again be able to pick between story and poem.

Short story (the main characters do not have to be vampires, they can be anything you want). Your story must either begin or end with this (Do not break the prompt):

Val stood in a puddle of blood. The concrete would stain. By morning police would be trying, in vain, to find the culprit. Dark eyes sent chills down Ebony's spine. She hadn't seen Val for nearly three years, they all thought he had perished. The feeling of his return was both thrilling and terrifying.

Val lifted his fingers to his lips and licked stray drops of blood off the tips. He looked at Ebony, his gaze as hard as stone. 'Tell the wolves I'm home.'

Poem (use this anywhere in the poem. You man break it up): We are but beasts. Wretched things longing for nothing but the terror, the darkness, the glamour of the grotesque. 

Word count will always be between 100-5000 words. Don't forget to make your topic bold. Due date January 7, 2016.
