EVERTON ( POV ) I was running in the deepest forest with bare feet. The wind was caressing my face, the sun was filtering through the leaves, and the birds were singing in harmony. I felt free and alive, enjoying my fast speed and agility. I was a vampire, but I did not need to feed on humans. I had found a way to survive on animal blood, and I was content with my choice. I loved nature and its beauty, and I wanted to protect it from harm. As I was running, I suddenly smelled something that made me stop in my tracks. It was the smell of blood, but not any blood. It was human blood, fresh and warm, and it was coming from somewhere nearby. I felt a surge of curiosity and hunger, mixed with fear and disgust. What was it? Who was it? Why was it here? I followed the scent, trying to be quiet
