The next hours where the most intense for laath as he relaps from the careing, humorous creature that he had become back to how he had started out.
Arching his back laath howled again but little more than a wimper escaped his lips as he had been screaming and howling for the last 2 hours nonstop and was now quit unable to speak.
Dawn came and noon passed as his mind changed slowly ripping to shreds all he had acomplished.
Weak and tired he rose his eyes cold and hard as ebony his hair fell in uneven strands across his face as he breathed deep the air grinning his fangs glistening in the evening light.
As he slide away one sentence fell from his lips and only a second later disappeared into the thick evening air.
"Time....to....feed"
Chained Beast no More
Rushing past buildings as fast and quiet as a tiger laath moved dead set on sharing the pain he had felt for the last fifteen hours.
Climing up a fire escape he slinked across the roof top a warm spring wind carring the scent of flowers and water, the sky was a crimson red with hues of orange black clouds moved from the east a new crew had just finished a story on a young woman who had received honors for her frist book.
The 17 year old girl walked about in the kitchen excited the aroma of fresh popcorn filled the air.
"I cant beleive this is actually happening, I never thought id be a writer let alone get honors for it"
The microwave beeped letting her know that it was done as she crossed the room she could have sworn she had seen a man jumping a roof holding someone.
Exspeltion
Holding tightly to the woman laath feel to the ground landing solidly on his feet as he pulled back her hair letting her head fall back.
She had dark hair and a fair complextion, he would delight in this meal.
Biting deep into her neck she awoke trying to scream but anable to as laath drained her quickly as he reached his limits he reared his head back howling as his eyes turned from the cool blue to a dark red.
"VOEL!!!!!!!!!!!!"
he dropped the womans body turning his head he looked behind him his eyes looking at her hatefully the woman now dead falling to the ground laath blacked out the sudden feeding had shocked his system he had fed in small amounts since he had changed it had been a decade since he fed so deeply.
Images flashed before him the womans body in his arms, a grave yard, his tomb, engraving something on the stone and then darkness again.
Laath awoke to the image of himself looking at him his eyes different colors one a dark red the other a cool blue.
Shaking he shook his head it throbbed his fingers there numb as he looked at them he noticed a fine dust on his clothes rock had been embeded under his nail his fingers bled.
Looking around he took notice of where he was.
The graveyard was wide with tombs and entrences to the catacombs.
Dead trees stood there branches hanging heavely with the weight of the dead, a warm breez swept across the graveyard.
Turning he looked upon his tomb the stone lid had been replaced, trails of bloode on the edges.
On his tombstone a roughly engraved messege had been written blood trailed down from the sentence.
"Here lies a woman that deserved life, but the former keeper chose for her death"
His head pounded as he feel unto the tomb tears forming in his eyes as he tried the slide the stone lid.
slowly it budged revealing a woman with dark hair and a now white skin as he looked at her face his heart pounded and his tears ceased.
"Its...."
News of Blood
Sitting down the young woman placed a bowl of popcorn in front of herself and curled up next to her book watching the tv for her story to come on.The front door opened accompanied by a yell.
"Beautiful where ya at?"
Smileing happily she rushed and embraced her fiancee kissing him happily.
"so did they come?"
smiling she shook her head yes.
"they said its going to be on tonight im so excited"
Bouncing up and down she moved back to the couch him at her side.
Watching together they watched as the news broadcast came on.
"A young and upcoming writer has appeared in our won city her book has already won honors and shes only 17 years old. Her name is Voel Utabey"
Breathing deeper and harder laath lay on the ground his chest felt as if it was being crushed.
his eyes filled with tears as he howled into the night rain pouring over him.
"ill close it then the pain will stop....ill hide it and lock it away so it will never be touched again......."
Lighting flashed across the hellish sky as he howled once more a crumpled note in his hand with the letter V on it.
his voel.....the note had done something that non other could have ever done and so he closed his heart never to be seen and with it his ability to write.
"ill close it and it will never hurt and the pain will be gone"
With one last howl of sorrowful rage he laps into a world of nightmares and numbness.
