• My Ending/ New Beginning


    Heart racing, burning through my chest,
    I run.
    They'd find an empty ballroom,
    The dead.
    Their pale fingers reaching for me, wanting
    My blood.
    My feet carry me further until
    I fall.
    I hear their shrieks, the hissing of
    Immortal death.
    My heart skips a beat as I get up. I
    Won't survive.
    I look back, knowing I won't live. I see
    His eyes.
    They're burning with thirst, his arms are reaching
    For me.
    The dead behind him stop, knowing
    I'm his.
    My head tells me to run, but my heart aches
    To stay.
    I want to be his. Pale strong arms wrap around
    My waist.
    "It won't be painful," he tells me. I know it's
    A lie.
    "I know," I tell him. I slide my hair away from
    My neck.
    "Good girl," he tells me. He slips his hand into
    My own.
    Pale lips move to mine. I know
    He's stalling.
    But his kiss gives me hope that he'll
    Keep me.
    Our lips move as one, missing no beat. My last
    Human kiss.
    We part, knowing his kind is waiting. Whispering my name,
    He moves.
    Tears fall from my eyes as his lips reach
    My ear.
    "I love you," he whispers to me. I know I'll live, only in a
    Different way.
    His words send a shiver down my spine. I
    Want this.
    His lips move along my skin, from the bottom of my ear to
    My throat.
    "I love you," I whisper back. I close my eyes knowing this life
    Will end.
    But a new life will begin with him. I know that it will have
    No end.
    I wait while he smells the blood sheathed under
    My skin.
    He's stalling again. I want this now more than
    Anything else.
    "Please," I beg. "I want this." My words should
    Frighten me.
    His answering kiss isn't human. It's the
    Vampire's kiss.
    Blood trails down my neck as he bites harder,
    It's warm.
    I close my eyes tighter. The pain feels good in a
    Sick way.
    No scream will help when the burn comes. I
    Know this.
    He pulls away from me, his job is done. I open
    My eyes.
    He is staring into them. His arms tighten
    Around me.
    I burn. My senses are screaming
    For help.
    "I'm sorry," he tells me. His arms bind me to
    His body.
    This life ends, but leaves room for my
    New beginning
