He lived in darkness
Never to see the light of day
Nothing of his choosing
But here he would stay
Walking at night was his thing
As daylight would **** him dead
Out of the corner of his eye
A vision of purity blinded body, heart, and soul
"Who was this vision he had seen?"
"Wherest had she come from?"
"Were tricks being played?"
"Another thing to torture him more?"
Blending in dark as night he followed
The click of her shoes did little to silence
That tell tale drumbeat of her heart
Inhaling deeply an intoxicating scent
Hissing softly as every part of him began to burn
He disliked the human world
Having found nothing but pain and for
Much rather keep to the night
Living in the shadows
Feeding from low life
She, the female was different
He could smell the innocence
"You want her you know."
"Shut up! I do not."
"Oh I know you want her."
"No."
Laughter fills his ears
Driving him insane
Hating that voice, that thing inside him
It was the evil inside his darkness
Usually he had a handle
Could keep it at bay
Yet when his desire rash hot
Darkness knew and found him vulnerable
The fight had gone on for years
Always able to keep that evil locked up
Rearing it's nasty head only when good happened by
He did want her, Oh blessed he wanted her
He could not go near never
To do so would doom them both
Her heart so pure called to his so black
Laughter echoed in his brain
She pulled the cloak tighter around her
Feeling the dark night surrounding
Like a beautiful lover's embrace
Someone was following
A look over the shoulder
Sparkling greens caught a shadow
Shivering, heart beating fast
Looking for help anywhere, had to be a light
Around the corner loomed a very large castle
Music played, lights ablaze
Feet danced over cobblestone
Hastening to safety
Not watching suddenly landing into strong arms
Skin flushed like the reddest rose
Rise and fall against the neck as blood pounded there
Gasping loudly, breathlessly apologizing
"Oh! Pardon me Sir, I was frightened and didn't see you."
"No pardons necessary Mi'lady." "May I help somehow?"
"Might I impose on you help to get me home?"
"It will be no imposition, the pleasure mine."
He could not have planned it better
Twas as though he had seen the future
When he caught her spotting him
He had maneuvered ahead to intercept
"I told you, you want her."
"Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!"
His brain on fire from that one evil part
He refused to hurt this delicate violet
His gloved hand lifted hers placing it around his elbow
Her smile was as brilliant as the quarter moon
Sheer white skin made the blue veins seem darker
His mouth salivated, he could feel his teeth shifting
"I said NO!" screamed in his head
They walked forward into the fire lit entry
Music playing, many were dancing
He was a gracious host, taking her cloak passing off to a servant
Her eyes were the greenest of oceans
Body fit his hands like a glove
Innocence shown all over her
Yet he could smell the passion burning beneath
She was intoxicating
He had the fiercest eyes
His body was so tight
Skin so pale
She felt her heart skip a beat as he pulled her closer
Having wondered what it felt like to be held by a man
Now she could not get him out of her mind
So much so she forgot about being stranded
The ball continued and she began to dance with him
They were made for one another
Every eye watched the fluid movements
He watched the pulse beat wildly in her throat
Oh to taste her, what bliss would it be
"****** No!" He wouldn't and couldn't
She knew something was different, sinister
Yet when he looked at her she would do anything to stay
Guests began to leave
He called for his carriage
He could see the disappointment in her eyes
But he was determined to take her home safely
He escorted her to the carriage and away they went
Arriving at her home he brought her to the door
He couldn't stop himself, leaning forward his soft lips pressed to hers
Her body pressed to his like he was her air
Nibbling, licking and nipping at each other's lips
His hand cupped her face he could feel her heart
He had to leave before it was to late
Suddenly he tasted her
A moan followed the sweet blessed warmth
Ohh such sweetness like nectar to a bee
She so pliant not a care or worry
He suckled more as his evil laughed hysterically
Must stop, you must
Fighting the evil that wanted more
Sealing the tiny tear in her lip he ended the kiss
"I must leave now Mi'lady."
"So soon?" She was disappointed
"Yes now precious."
"Will I see you again?"
He nodded yes but thought no inside
Watched as she went into the lit mansion
Entering his carriage he began to brood
She tasted like life itself, he needed her
His evil knew he would take her eventually
Just sit and bide his time
Of course he would make him suffer every day until
THAT day
