dracula in the shadows

he stayed in the shadows watching, waiting
she was a virgin with a beautiful alabaster neck
he could hardly wait to sink his teeth in it

a hoot owl made a bit of noise
he frowned at it, hoping to intimidate
a lone wolf howled in the distance

would she stir?
he looked into her window
her head was still on the bed

was tonight the night?
he heard two women giggling
they were walking incredibly close

he would start with them
he needed a bit of a snack
