Part 8

As my mouth neared her neck, the powerful feeling of animalistic anger and lust was too much, I felt like a completely different person – or thing. I tried to stop myself. My mouth stopped closing in. 

I feelll youuu! … What?

I feelll youuu fighting! Do-on’t fight!

I noticed that my mouth wasn’t moving, not only had it stopped its slow descent towards the little girl’s neck, but it wasn’t talking, even though I could clearly hear myself and… it.

What’s happening?

Stop fighting mee. Who are you? What are you?!

I am what isss ta-aking – youu. Taking me? How?!

With the force youu are no-ot using! What?!

The force youu let mee build upp insi-ide youu. … 

Yesss, youu knoww noww. Youu understa-and noww. You’re… anger?

And lust and anima-alistic yearningss. I am what youu will no-ot accept How do I…

You cannot kill mee, you cannot ju-ust “make mee go away” I am yourr worst ni-ightmare, and you can NEVER wake up!

The mouth started moving again, now faster than before. It grabbed the little girl’s jugular and bit down while throwing the little girl across her room, hitting the back wall. The sight was grusome, even for what I had seen and done so far. Bones breaking, blood flying everywhere. I know that even for a vampire, it was a horrible. All that blood going to waste.

I, or the thing in my body, jumped towards the girl. Immediately gripping her and biting down, drinking all of what was left in her body. Just as I felt her heart stop, I regained control of my body. Not only was the thing inside me stronger and more evil than me, but it had the worst timing. A few seconds after I gained control, the guards came rushing in. They had probably been alarmed by the massive thump the little body had made.

The first guard few guards who entered almost immediately started screaming, frightened by the mangled girl in the back, or the man standing drenched in blood, clearing having fed from the small girl. 

Faster than I could even think it, I was on them, tearing limbs from bodies, throwing what was left at the guards waiting outside the door. I couldn’t believe how much stronger I felt, how much faster I moved. I was convinced that I would be able to throw my shadow around the entire castle if I wanted to, but now was not the time, I had things to do, more specifically: guards to dispatch of. 

I open the door with such force that it flew of its hinges, and took out the first few guards outside the room. The guards in the back were now frightened more than they had ever been before – or that’s at least my estimate judging by the stench of someone having “relieved” himself in his pants. I located the smell and made the source be… not around. For people who haven’t seen a full-grown man in armor be thrown up into the ceiling and getting stuck, it’s highly amusing, bordering on being hilarious. 

Before the rest of the guards could turn their tails an run, I had a firm grip on said tails, and were pulling them of one by one, (feel free to imagine what body part I’m referring to as “the tail”). As much as I wanted to make my way up to the king and queens quarters, I had made enough carnage for one day – and what is a county with its king? An aimless crowd of people fighting over whose going to be the boss. A dangerous place to be if one was of the… nocturnal persuasion, and therefore less likely to want to be part of a mob at daytime.

I made my way out of the castle and down to my “house”, taking a trip to the lake as to get rid of the blood on the way, making sure to remain hidden so no one would suspect me when it came to who saw who doing what and coming home when.

I got home just as the sun arrived on the morning sky, reveling in sensation of power – so much power. I had to sleep. So tired.
