In The Night

On a dark stormy night
In a crowded bustling street
Full of life and laughter
He hides in the dark

He watches from the shadows
Searching for the next challenge
Waiting for a new game to begin
In the dead of night

Rain falls silently on cold concrete
Lightning flashes lighting up ebony eyes
The thunder rolls and a soul as dark as hell
Thirsts for the blood of a young soul

And before his eyes
The busy street seems to be in slow motion
As he searches the crowd
For the perfect specimen

So many young faces
But he has a type
Only one kind can give him the satisfaction
Of a job well done

And as this thought crosses his mind
A brown haired, green eyed beauty came into sight
Holding a purple umbrella
Wearing tight jeans and a designer jacket

And it was as if time had froze
And the world had gone silent
But then the spell broke
And she began to fade into the crowd

Adrenaline raced through his veins
And this is where the game begins
He licked his lips and stepped out into the light
And the chase began

His body twisted through the street
Never once taking his eyes off her
While she continued to walk gracefully
Winding her way slowly down the street

She continued to walk
Not knowing her fate
Not knowing that the life she knew
Would end tonight

Slowly the people began to disappear
As she walked towards the desolate park
Her house was on the other side
And through the dreary shadows was her path

And it was as they began to walk in the darkness
That a cold sweat began to break out
And chills ran down her spine
Her footsteps fell faster

A smile flickered across the face
Of the man hiding in the shadows
This is where the game got interesting
The butterflies soaring in his stomach

Her body moved so gracefully
Like the boughs of the trees above
Swaying in the storm
And the fantasies began in his mind

He wanted to feel that long elegant body
Underneath his, fighting, resisting
He wanted that pale skin to touch his
He wanted to run his fingers through her hair

And with these thoughts he began to run
In the center of the park
With no one around
With no one to witness his pleasure

The grass was slick and wet
And she heard him coming
She began to run but it was too late
Rough arms grabbed her tight

She tried to scream, tried to get away
But a callused hand covered her mouth
And a heavy body took her to the ground
Pinning her between hot flesh and mud

Lightning flashed and green eyes met ebony
And a cruel smile crossed his face
And his one free hand
Began to explore her body

Tears streamed down her face
And she whimpered underneath his hand
Kicking, fighting, screaming
With no success

The thunder rolled
And anger began to fill his mind
What he wanted was hidden underneath her clothes
And his patience was wearing thin

He tore at her clothes
They tore as if they were paper
A moan escaped from deep within his throat
As her glorious body met his eyes

And she struggled… oh how she struggled…
This one he would remember
This one he would enjoy he thought
As he forced himself inside her

Her cries became louder
Her breathing became erratic
But lust and pleasure filled his mind
And finally came his release

And as he looked down into her eyes
His twisted wicked smile returned
Her life was his
He had won

The lightning flashed
And the silver glinted in the dark
Her eyes widened
And she tried to scream

But with a movement just as quick as the lightning
He slid the blade across her throat
And she made no sound as her warm blood spilt
Her body lay still…

The thunder rolled in the night
He sat up straight in his bed
His heart beating fast, a smile on his face
His hands still covered in her dried blood.
