Night

The sun goes down
Shadows creep in
Let nighttime begin.

I smile, the night is so much more amusing. Anything could be unexpected. Like me.
I walk in silence becoming one with the darkness. Up ahead an old manor looms. Shutters closed and peeling paint. I walk around back, and pull open a cellar door. Down, down cold eroded steps, then ascending upwards, opening into a huge room. A black chandelier hangs high up on the ceiling. On the walls tattered and ripped tapestries sit, forgotten. A single stream of moonlight shines through the blackness center stage from somewhere up above. Heading into the shadows I pull back a thick curtain which leads into a smaller, almost identical room. A throne sits shrouded in shadows and darkness. Stepping up to it I sit down with a sigh of relief and snap impatiently. Suddenly hundreds of dark figures appear silently, stepping out of the gloom on the second floor balcony.
"Where is the captive?" I ask them. My voice demanding. Two dark figures step out from the darkness and move into the pool of moonlight that glows on the floor. Their skin pale and beautiful. In their grasp a chained prisoner. I looked at him. His hair ruffled, but perfect. His eyes full of sadness, but dazzling.
Just. Right.

She moved toward me, silent. Catlike.
She was the most beautiful person I had ever laid eyes on. Her face, her hair, her body. Every feature perfect. My stomach was still knotted though, something wasn't right. Her moves ever so graceful but with purpose. Full of mysterious intent. She was now towering over me. I looked away. Heart beating.

I leaned down and snapped his face back to me, pulling him to his feet. I pulled out a key, and tore the chains from his hands. Running my fingers along his skin where they had bruised him. "That's much better" I breathed into his ear.

Her touch was cold. Her voice was even colder but oh so stunning. She had freed me, I should have felt safer but only felt more scared. Nothing was holding me back from her grasp now.

I smiled. Putting a hand over his heart whispered "Your mine now".Clutching his neck I bit into it hard. Instantly my mouth was flooded with precious blood, I drank it in greedily. Satisfied I dropped him. Flashing the others a bloody grin of fangs. They snickered and cheered. Flooded over and took the limp body away.

Such a pretty face I thought as they dragged him away. I stalked back over to my throne. Adrenaline pumping. I truly was queen of the night.
