The night was silent and still...perfect. Now i could stalk my prey without witnesses. It was too dangerous with witnesses around, they would interrupt and cause more complications than necessary. I heard the rustling leaves ahead where my prey walked steadily but silently. I wasn't sure if she detected my presence or not but she seemed to fidget every now and then as if she could detect my deadly intent. After a while of stalking her in silence, i thought i should finish her off before it became too late. I lunged for the kill with my fangs gleaming in the moonlight....

It started out two months ago when i started to have these strange aches in my chest. The same month when she arrived at our small, secluded school. She seemed quiet and frail as she walked through the corridors in confusion. The teacher asked me to guide her though the school so she could familiarize herself with the school. I thought no big deal, right? Little did i know what would happen next.

We walked through the halls in silence with an occasional break where i would tell her what room we were at or which room we were passing. Her voice was quiet as well, good thing i could hear her clearly. A normal human would've had to strain their ears before they could hear anything escaping from her mouth. As i approached fifth period class, I noticed she was staring at me the whole time and this made me uneasy.

Fifth period just started and I knew my mind could be at ease if only for a little while. Too bad it was a futile effort, i couldn't stop thinking of why she stared at me for so long with those deer-like eyes. It puzzled me as to why she would hold any interest in me, although the beating of my heart didn't help at all. The thumping of my heart disturbed me and it only happened when she passed me in the hallways or when i was near her. It irked me how such an vulnerable human could irritate me to the brink of insanity.

As nerve wracking as the whole thing was, i had to keep my cool. No one deserved to find out my secret for fear it would be the end of them...and me. If people knew what i truly was, I'd have to stay secluded in an isolated area...just the thought made my body shiver. As the months past by, i noticed that my condition around her got worse. I would sweat when i was near her, my heart would ache and thump furiously, and i would feeling like killing another boy for what seemed like no reason.

I got irritated by these symptoms that would arise when she got near me. Eventually, the aches and beatings of my heart got unbearable to where i would regret the decision i was about to make. I knew i had to get rid of her and fast, despite the fact that everyone would notice her disappearance since she was new to school, but i was willingly to try anything at this point. I had planned to strike in the dead of night when she least expected me. I decided to carry out my plan when the moon was full.

On the night of the full moon, I waited in the woods for her to be lead into the woods by her own curiosity. It was hours before she arrived of her own accord. She stumbled into the woods as if looking for something but i was unsure of what exactly. A silent snicker escaped my jaws when she tripped over a misplaced branch. She flinched. I cursed in my head keeping focus on the main objective. As she was lost in her confusion, i decided to creep closer....

I saw blood trickle down her neck as she stared at me with bewildered eyes and then her eyes softened. She smiled like an angel in the moonlight and whispered, "I Love You..." Then she slumped into a lifeless slumber that she would never wake from. In the moonlight, her skin seemed to shine with an eerie glow that made her look like a dead angel. It was then that i realized all too late, I loved her too. I tilted my head toward the moon and howled in agony.
