Poem
The bloodthirsty reign of Angelus had ended, or so the story has been told, that after feasting upon and killing the beloved daughter of a gypsy family, the gypsy shaman cursed Angelus with a soul. Damned to immortally walk the earth, never to know or pursue happiness, for if a moment of joy were to be experienced, it would release the hold of the curse. His evil darkness would once again return. His soul once again would be lost. The power of Angelus's soul and conscience would avoid this at any cost. Blood, his only sustenance can no longer be attained from taking human life. Surrounded by so many a human temptation is the eternal challenge of Angelus's immortal cursed life. He now must feed on the blood of vermin, chickens, cattle and swine. never to know or experience true happiness or evil Angelus will return big time. * "What's happening to me? Something's horrifically wrong. Why do I have this overwhelming sense of fear that I no longer belong? What is this crippling feeling that seems to surround me? Is this what is known as being afraid? I am Angelus. Things like fear are alien to me. Just ask any,...just ask any of the many,...just ask, all the helpless victims I so mercilessly slain. Sometimes they wouldn't scream. They were too petrified, but children, children always screamed. My God, the poor frightened children would always cry before they died. Why do I now see and feel all the terror I instilled on all these faces who now haunt me. My God, all these faces of all these people I killed. You'd think that with my many centuries past,.. ...the past which boasts of all the horrible things I have done. You'd think that with all I have butchered, killed and maimed that I wouldn't be able to remember every single last one. My God, what is happening? Where have I been? Why was I this monster so consumed with the total embracing of sin?" He hovered in the corner alone, frightened and cold. All of his past horrors committed continued to unfold. The vampire all vampires feared was no more. He was now cursed with a soul and the power of conscience is a power that evil can never endure. The bloodthirsty reign of Angelus had ended, but there's still more story of this vampire to be told. Such as his quest for redemption by protecting the helpless, as Angel, The Vampire with a Soul.
