The Beginning

The moonlight encased her face so perfectly
Large, expressive eyes boring into his own
Pale lips tilted upward, open, expecting
Dark hair flowing down to her slim waist

Such spells she had cast on him
That his eyes could not look away
His heart beat erratically
This was the beginning

He pulled her small frame close
Breathing in her scent
Before capturing her lips with his own
His mind exploded in a flurry of activity

He was in danger
This much he knew
He had to run away
But she held him fast

Pain, mind-obliterating pain
Her teeth had grown long
And she had sunk them into his neck
This was the beginning of the end.
