I was lurking in the shadows late one night, not expecting a meal. I was about to go home hungry when I heard footsteps in the distance. My senses were tingiling, I could hear the blood pumping through his veins. As I got closer, the smell of flesh became intoxicating. I found the human and sunk my teeth into him. I was to busy enjoying my meal to notice the slowly rising Sun. I barley made it back in time to hide in my coffin. The meal I enjoyed would soon seek revenge. I’d have to move tomorrow night.

    Oh yeah, they'll become a vampire. I've never thought of a vampire taking revenge. You should do a part 2 to this!
