Once Bitten

"We have to get out of here. We're going to be caught otherwise" The body in front of me cowering in the corner. "Let me deal with this one first." I hissed in anger. "If it wasn't for you we would have succeeded." Turning back to the cowering body, I walked towards them. "N....No, no please don't" they begged. "I'll give you anything you want. Just please let me go." Chuckling, I knelt down beside them. My finger running down their neck. My nail leaving a small scratch; barely visible to the human eye. Stopping. I could feel the pulse radiating throughout my body. Driving my hunger insane. "Hmmmmm. Strong, healthy pulse." I sniggered. "Oh don't worry, this won't hurt a bit. Only if you don't struggle my love". Tilting the head, I could see the pulse beating from under their pale warm skin. My teeth transforming into my most prized possession. I could see the horror of my prey as I sunk my fangs into their neck. Draining every last drop of blood. The warm fluid I craved, filling my starvation. The body became limp and the heartbeat stopped. Wiping my mouth, I fled the house after hearing commotion outside. My hunger filled for a few days. Weeks even. Nothing can beat the taste of blood. Human blood.
