she lay on the grubby floor amongst the ruined remains of an old building slowly regaining her consciousness.. Her eyes now wide open only to linger on with the darkness invading the room extinguishing the flimsy possibility of light and hope. Her throbbing heart pumping tinge of fear rushing into her veins, her body shuddering from the cold stillness of vacant silence and mind abuzz with reverberating booms of piercing pain. She exerted quick and short breath with caution and remained hushed and stationary expectant that it was only a passing dream. Warm blood streamed out of two adjacent specks of deep gnawing wound left behind her neck crying for attention but she pressed direly all her efforts into convincing herself that it was nothing but a dream, a terrifying nightmare where she faced the most frightening spectre...

A hideous beast howling out of the elongated fangs, clenching its claws like that of a ferocious animal.. The skin so dark as a black hole sucking in every bit of valiance to confront the creature and blood shot eyes popping out of the socket diffusing terror. The beast grasped her petrified body and dug his canines into her neck putting her to sleep. The dream continued in the dilapidated remains of the beast's shambles but it dint show any signs of ceasing. Agonized with the trauma and misery of her plight she finally vent out a loud waul to crack open the shackles of the pall of dream but her wailing was deafened with the vociferous roaring which shook the floor. Her nemesis was staring at her set out to finish the final task.. to satiate his appetite for flesh and blood...

The cannibalistic urges of the beast was naturally the right thing to do and served it well. Happiness is the proposition of the self-righteous and it was extremely jubilant to condescend on its lust for blood. But today the task turned arduous, what was executed with merciless ease suddenly turned painfully severe.. The heart that always pumped human blood, guzzled throughout its lifetime, starting poisoning the beast with insipid feelings of compassion and love. The blood that made beastly creatures out of humans started sowing humanly traits in the beast.. It had mixed feelings of fulfilling its lust and the newly developed compassion towards her.. It wished to imbibe the purity of her skin and also impelled to tear her body apart and consume her.. The conflict of interest drove it crazy and it let out a cantankerous roar and inched towards her with blood lust eyes ready to savage her. The cold dark skin felt the tenderness of the touch for a moment and the ruthless claw tweaked her neck like snapping a branch and put an end to her hostile dream... It, he, stood there the blood shot eyes fixing its stare on her as the darkness slowly started to erode and finally left her unmoved, as she lay at grave peace, a tear drop glistening on her cheek under the dappling sunlight beating the darkness..
Blood that taught him lust and indifference now showed him humanity and sympathy...
