Love in a Nightmare

Life was sweet and endearing because I had a very beautiful mom who cared , loved and nurtured me even tho we didn't have enough sometimes but we were okay with what we have without a father and each time I ask her about my dad she would say"Xavia you will get your answers at the right time " And am not complaining because I was very much comfortable and okay with just my mom .., ' Until one faithful rainy night, After dinner my mom and I were about to sleep and then the lights started to flicker and we were hearing weird noises .... we were terrified Thunder striked and then boom everywhere went dark, My mom told me to hide at the wardrobe because something was coming for us at the dead of the night she warned me not to come out . "You must protect yourself" my mom said . Then suddenly a shadow detached itself from the darkness . My heart leaped into my throat and my mom's face was filled with horror. He was tall obscuring the weak light of the candle my mum lit when the lights went off,I saw him fully He has fangs, long nails, eyes bloodshot, pale skin and I felt cold all over . I watched my mom begging for her own life , crying , panicked with no one to save her and then he gave off a cold smile at me as if he knew someone was watching. He plunged his fangs on her neck and sucked my mom dry at my face .... Blood was everywhere,I couldn't cry and scream because I promised mom that I must protect myself and then like that he disappeared. I ran out of my hiding place and I saw my mom's dead body filled with teeth marks and deep nail scratches and eyes wide open filled with pain and despair. I screamed......,my voice lost in the roaring thunder, wind and dark of the night... The next day I gave my mom a proper burial alone because we don't have relatives I could call and we were a kinda of outcast in the community we live so no one showed up for me or helped me because they were all afraid of the unknown animal but I knew it was a vampire.. . After the burial I committed suicide but was rescued by a Nun of an orphanage who took me in as a second mother but deep down in my heart my hatred for vampires still lingers deeper than any ocean because they took the only light in my life
