Just an ordinary night
The stars sparkled like diamonds, it was not the same as the sun, but I didn’t miss the sun, I’d got over that big ball of flame many years ago, I don’t know why us vampires can get so enamoured with it, I suppose it is the forbidden, that which we cannot have, however it holds no power over me. The stars are mine, they dance in the sky, taking it for their own taking all of it, the harder you look, the more there is, can you say that with the sun? What good is a ball of flame that you cannot look upon even if you are a day walker? We stare at the stars and they speak to us, whispering pictures and hinting of places far away. Keep your sun you fragile creatures, I love my night, my stars, my sky, keep your feeble sunshine, for it will someday die, while my stars go on living, burning bright but far away.
The nights were balmy, the heat sticky and intrusive, I liked my skin cool, the way it was supposed to be, like glass, the heat irritated me, even the pretty creatures flesh on display didn’t help enough to make up for it.
I shook my head, eyes searching, looking for something more, so many empty shells, no power, nothing, I tired of these games, the hunt and kill had bored me of late, although no doubt that was the heat, and the ease of it. I wanted more than this, and my patience was wearing thin, I knew I should make a move next, but it seemed so busy at the house, so many creatures flitting around easy prey. I was avoiding the slayers, but really they were far more interesting to me than any of these creatures could be, but I did not want to deplete their numbers, I wanted as many as possible, though I was kind of itching for a real fight, maybe I should.... no, no new playmates, complications, needed to avoid those.
She had blue eyes; and dark hair; good, didn’t dye it; eyes sparkling; she would do, “Diamonds are Forever” it stated on her top, yes dear, I am too. I took her hand and she followed, always following, so easy, no questioning, she must feel the coolness of my hand, I could certainly feel the warmth of hers. I turned to her and looked in her eyes, a mirror of my own, I brushed her hair gently, fingernails brushing through it, then lightly touching her jawline. I bent forward and kissed her lips then kissed down to her neck, pulled her close kissing at first, then teeth sinking into her flesh, the small gasp, a single tear floating down her skin, and then the surrender, I drank deeply, her blood sweeter than I expected, I drank til I was full then let her body sink to the ground, my thimble slicing her neck as she fell. So then I headed home, or at least, that which I called home at the moment.
