Vampire Sonnets Xxiii the Ally

I could see fear come alive in her eyes,
she knew I could bring about her demise;
We stared and then raised a mutual flag 
just like an insidious game of tag;

Locked gaze and two pair of fangs extending,
 but as of yet there was no blood flowing;
Fable and I were gonna have to work 
together and not drive ourselves berserk;

I said to her ‘I want to learn from you.
Knowledge is power. I know this is true.’
Reached out to her with a very firm hand 
felt like we were exchanging contraband;

It’s alright for now I’ll call her ally,
and take her once she has taught me to fly.
