Edge of Darkness Part 13

Running toward its slow calculating heart beat felt exonerating and made me alive. There was nothing to fear and nothing in this moment that could change my desire. I could almost taste the sweet warm blood flowing into me. I needed some other memories and life that was not mine. I needed to be free from the mortal coil that Jace tried to wrap around me. I was not human. I was alive only to kill, to take the life and essences of those who crossed my path. The past needed to die. I was not human but I was not ready to really step into pure darkness. For some reason I don’t understand I still want my soul. The grass bent under my feet. The energy like vines swept up my legs pulling me into its energy. Everything felt like a hummingbird’s wings flowed through my veins. The quick movements called me to wake.

The world shifted views in a way I could not understand how it did. Night became day with an excited electric energy. Colors faded into shades of a blue grey. The moon even in its cold light seemed warm in this view. The smells seemed to grow in intensity and felt like a rushing wave. It was like standing outside in the rain as it falls it pulls down the scents of the world. It made everything new. The world was new. Rustling came from bushes just in view. Something was there. I drew in its smell and could taste the fresh blood as if I had already bitten. Fear washed over it. It knew as the hair on the back of its neck raised.

I rushed faster toward it as an impatient child stuck in a harness just out of the reach of freedom. The electricity pulsed through my body and it made me feel alive again. It was young and barely had life take hold in it. My mouth watered as I ran harder after it. I would have it and the warmth and life in it would be mine. I felt like the wild fire consuming the forest as Bambi ran from it. Thumper would be next on my meal plan. The coolness of my flesh seemed to melt away into the electricity pulsing through me. Shadows around me seemed to grow and become more than just shadows. They felt like extensions of me. I ran clear of a tree but I felt the bark as if my hand had run across it.

It was so close to me. I could feel each tree and rock as the shadows consumed them. The sound of its foot steps struck me as I could almost feel them as if it was right at my feet. The world was spinning to me with all the new feelings, scents and smells as if I was spinning around on a carousel. Everything hits you as it spins around and you move up and down with the flashing lights. It would soon be over. Thump, thump rushed over me. I could feel its heartbeat next to me. We collided into each other. I did not care what it was I just wanted fresh blood. The world around me still spun as the energy coursed through me and my prey. Warm young fresh blood flooded my mouth. Nothing would be freed and nothing would get away this time. I lost myself in the blood. I could not give up the taste. I needed it to fill me and make me whole. The memories were so fresh and vibrant. Like a shock cord hitting you in the face I felt it then. I was not alone. I was not the only predator and it was not Jace. The fierce blue eyes looked into mine. They were pools of ice water shooting through me. He wanted what I had and he would go through me to get it. Hunger flowed through him as mine was being quenched by this life. The life slipping away, he came closer. Who would win?
