The grizzly scene still lies before me. 3 teenagers, all dead. Funny thing was that I just thought of them as goons. Scumbags and murderers. Nothing more. It was only until they were relieved of their life did I realize what I had done.

Their leader, a college student I just called Ed, was laying in the corner of the abandoned warehouse. He had wet his pants, still making some scrambled attempt at putting togehter the gruesome puzzle I had made.

Three weeks ago, he slit my sister's throat with a steak knife because she didn't give him a good time. That douche was so close to jail time, but it's amazing how scott-free one get with a warrant signed in the wrong place.

I still remember his smug look leaving the court house.

Now, here he was. The smile had vanished, and in it's place stood a mouth agape in terror. Terror of me. The Strigoi. I had been tracking him and his gang of horny asshats for the last 2 days. I had become a monster in the night.

As I approached him. he held hi shand up.

"Please" he begged. "Please, I'm not r-r-ready" For a split second, I considered sparing him. For a split second, my humanity returned. But then I remebered my sister.

"What about Karen?" I hiss, my voice dripping with the moisture of hatred. "She wasn't ready" the boy changed his pleading tactics.

"I'm s-sick man" he said. "I-I need H-help" I rolled my eyes underneath the my hood.

"You are sick. You're the cause of that sickness. I'm here to cure you" I say, picking him up with my hand, and lifting him in the air by his neck. My tight grip cuaght any screams before they could be released.

My second tongue emerged, injecting it's proboscus into his neck. I fed off of his blood, looking him in the eyes as I slowly enjoyed my meal. Soon, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and his skin turned thin, veiny, and pale.

Soon, his life was gone. His death was slow and painful. Just like I had planned. I released his neck, retracted my second tongue, and slipped back into the night. I am a Strigoi now, like it or not, so the dark is my new home.
