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.
