November - Week 1 - Out of Control
I haven’t been ‘out of control’ since the change. Not really, anyway. The frenzy that seems to live within others of my kind just don’t seem to be harbored within me. I’m not a ‘messy eater’, and I find rampant, purposeless violence boring. It’s dull, it doesn’t do the job. Only the weak find it truly terrifying. The strong, the in control - they know how to handle someone like that.
Does that make me odd, for a vampire? To disdain the random brutality that seems to permeate my kin? Perhaps. I know it makes me a more dangerous one. A foe in control of his faculties is far more deadly then a slathering beast. It suits me to let others - like my sister - think that I am careless, animal, brute and beast.
But make no mistake. I am a man - or was, at least. Now? I am a thinking, rational predator.
I don’t lose control. I take it from others.
