One gloomy winter, when the moon is covered with think, dark clouds, I was wandering near the graveyard searching for a prey. It was a very peaceful night that only bats hovering above me are the creatures in sight. As I walked further, I noticed something in the distance. I walked silently to find out what it is. I was a man, a lonely man. I was very excited and happy spotting him. He could be my delicious prey for that night. “Yummy!” I said to myself licking my upper lip. I moved so carefully so that he would not notice me getting near to him so I can seize him off-guard.He was sitting by himself on the bench near the big, shady tree, facing down with his palms covering his face. Oh, this could be very easy for me to attack him. I moved faster as I make myself ready to attack. I stood in front of him ready to grab his neck. But when I was about to do that, he suddenly lifted his head up.
He was really surprised seeing me in front of him without notice. Man, that’s bad! He could defend himself if I attack him face to face. But I said to myself, “Don’t worry, he’s just a human. You can kill him mercilessly by sucking all his blood if you want.” I forgot all my worries and make myself ready again. As I moved my right hand to grab his neck, he grabbed it his left and smiled. He stood up, thanked me for offering my hand to him stand. I was surprised on what he did coz that’s not what I meant. I got angry to myself. How could he be thankful to me if he just knew I was going to kill him for my dinner? “Damn!” I cursed. I was again surprised when his smile turned to frown. He looked down and said, “How could I simply thank you for accompanying me here tonight?” He looked up again. I froze when I saw some clear liquid from his eyes. He was crying and it made me forgot all my plans. Whew! I was touch seeing his handsome face with flowing tears. Man, what is happening to me? Am I supposed to feel this? He gripped my hand tighter. I can’t find words to say. Gosh!!! “My girlfriend just left me because she found someone new. It made me so sad that I went here to let out my depression. I was thinking to make suicide awhile ago. But, when I looked up, I saw you. It made me forgot my bad thoughts. Thank you!” he said touching my left cheek with his right hand. I’m dumbfounded, I was panicked. I don’t know how to react. Luckily, he said, “I’m sorry, miss. Forgive me.
I totally lose myself because of sadness.” “It’s alright, mister.” I said. Oh! What did I just say? Am I insane? Why am I acting this way? I’m supposed to kill him. Now! But, I can’t do it, I pity on him. It’s really strange for me to feel this way. Pity! I’m so pathetic. Vampires don’t pity to their victims.We stared each other for long. Then, I looked away. It seems that I’m consumed with his gazes. I feel my cheeks flushed. What is this sensation? “Why did you look away, pretty?” he asked. Pretty! He’s saying I’m pretty? His could not be happening. I mean, am I really pretty for a handsome guy like him? It made me more confused. “What?” he said turning my head to face him. It made me back to my senses. “I’m so sorry, I’m just thinking something.” Did I say I’m sorry? What the… “Oh! I think you wanted to go home now. It’s quite late and very dark. It’s very dangerous for ladies like you to be out in the streets during this time of night.” He said. I was touched about his concerns. But, am I supposed to be happy or sad with it? Well, I’m just happy that he is concerned about me inspite of his sadness. It also made me sad to think that if he only knows my true being, would he feel the same? Before, I could say anything, he said, “Maybe I could accompany you in going home so that I will know and visit you probably when I have time.” “Ump, it’s okay! Thank you.
Don’t worry bout me, I can handle myself.” I said with a small smile. “Are you sure it’s okay? I really wanted to do it as a sign of my gratitude for being with me.” He insisted. “It’s really fine. Don’t bother.” I said. “Okay then. Since you don’t want me to accompany you home, I just hope to see you again. I think, I’m gonna think of you for the rest of the night.” He said smiling while continues to hold my hand. I gulped; I couldn’t believe what he’s talking. I simply smile as a reply. “I guess it’s time to say goodbye. Hope to see you again!” I just nodded and he let go of my hands. Then, we part ways.
