Night Shade of the Willow (Part 3)

and me as well, through it I spring forward biting into the lushes flesh in her upper chest near the right shoulder. As my teeth burst through the skin and the delicious life supporting fluid explodes in my mouth, shards of bliss race over my nerves, driving into my brain tearing open the floodgates, now the feeding begins. Using my claws I suck her body underneath me hunkering down for the feast. Without abandon I start, sinking teeth into her thigh with the last still thrashing on the couch, (my true target). After a few moments I hesitantly pull myself away, time for the finale. Grabbing the last by the right ankle I yank her onto the blood covered floor before the fire, then sever her right foot from her body and plunge the stub into the flames, cauterizing it. After releasing a Hellenic scream she faints…...... She awakens sprawled out on the floor, unrestrained, I watch from a shadow in the corner, she starts to pull herself out of the gore that was her friends and I fly out, slashing her across the back then into the shadow under the end table. After awhile I see that she’s given up, slowly, starting as smoke I materialize before her and sit her up then mockingly fix her hair a little, in her eyes I can see she thinks she knows what’s coming. To prove her wrong I hold the right side of my trench coat open and shove her head into the vast, dark, vileness that is me, I can feel her screams vibrate through the night like essence of myself, though not a single sound escapes. When I shake her out of my coat she is as pale as new fallen snow and trembling uncontrolably. Leaning down I bite out a chunk from the back of her left arm, she doesn't even make a sound, it seems I've broken her, driven her soul right out of her, oh well, so I gorge myself on her, seditiously, leaving pretty much only a gut pile, and a bunch of bones.
