The blood ran warm
staining her pallid skin
long red ribbons in two long lines
a piercing sensation
the pain settles in, setting a hazed fog
the feeling of life slowing trickling away
little lights dance before my eyes
I try to recall what caused the pain
a shadow among shadows
approaching carefully moving unseen
then a scuffle followed by a snuffle
a hand in place to muffle the scream
a white brilliance pierced the dark
not one but two
brick pushed hard into my back
as I stumbled from a push
when my head hit, it sounded a loud crack
a yank of my hair bending my neck
a soft chuckle and a smile so cruel
now I remember a bite
as I open my eyes, I'm alone
was it a dream? my imagination?
no....red stains my shirt
neck burning with a vicious heat
I can barley feel the brush of the breeze
a slight movement catches my eye
dark fabric flashes by
it turned the corner
it was almost easy to miss
a vampire?
NO!
just foolish stories
Just a faint minded wish
I imagined it all
So I choose to believe I tumbled and took a fall
