If you find a grammar mistake , spelling or what ever. Then good for you smart ass! :P
A fleeting moment passed, as he lay there silent in dream like stature. His skin so pale that he looked morbid in a way, but that didn't take away from the pure magnificence of him. This creature that had seen so much and felt so little. I barely could breath at this point, staring at his hands crossed across his chest. An old face in a new world, I began to imagine what he could be thinking, did they even think? did they even dream?.
I always wondered why it was so hard to identify one of them, to any mortal eye they would see nothing but a fresh corpse laying there in the dark marble coffin. To me thou I saw a creature of power of lust of great evil. It was my task to remove it... him from this earth to set free this city that he has fed on for so long.
My hand began to shake, the stake began to feel as if it was immovable object it became heavier and heavier, my sub conscious telling me that I didn't want to do what I had been ordered to do. This creature was evil I had been told, he had killed thousands in his life time. His life time, it brought a smile on to my face how long had he lived for. How much has he seen who had he met. The stories stored within him could last a 100 years and still Id want to hear more.
My mind began to battle my heart or maybe my soul, to kill a creature that has killed is good is it not, but did he have a choice. Did he get to choose to become this immortal creature forever cursed to feed off that he once was. What was his origin story, was it tragic that he became such a creature or was it out of lust and wanting that he chose to turn.
I checked my watch it was 6pm not long now before the sun will set and he will rise to feed again to take away someone's child, wife, husband someone's loved one without any remorse. Did he feel remorse for the things he had done his kind had been killing for who knows how long. Maybe he was the first of all vampires that walked this earth, silly thought but you don't know.
I looked back at his face, so beautiful so innocent he was so young when he died he was around my age of 22. His long black hair draped over his shoulders his pale skin setting the light pink tones of his lips. Those lips, a thousand different necks they have touched. I began to think what it would be like to take a life he had taken many yet this would be my first.
I do not want to kill this man, this creature of the dark. I seem to have no choice but to do so. Maybe not tonight I know where he sleeps now, maybe another night. I lay beside the marble coffin staring into the darkness above me wondering what wonders this man had seen and if maybe one day I would know of such wonders and see and feel the things he has felt through the ages of time and then maybe id understand his lust for blood and immortality.
I closed my eyes, time seemed to stand still and the world around me became darker and darker. No I mustn't stay, but something inside me wanted to I must stay to ask this vampire the greatest question anyone could ask a vampire, why, why do you do the things you do and do you feel remorse for them afterwards.
The room became darker and darker, I felt my self falling into slumber...
Sometime had passed my eyes began to open slowly the room was so dark, had I slept here. What was the time I knew i was in great danger.
Then a voice from the corner of the room
.
"You are in no danger my dear, I heard every thought as I slept. I could of awaken at any moment but your thoughts were soothing."
I was petrified I couldn't move was this the end for me what was to come next.
"Well my dear, you wanted to ask a question of me. Didn't you?"
Yes I want to know...
"You want to know my origin, my story well like you said it would take a very, very long time to tell you all. Would you like to walk with me?"
I...I....Would like that...yes very much.
"Then come my dear, let me show you the wonders of the night and let me tell you my story".
