The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Light, light, everywhere there is light. I sit a smile encompasses my face as the shining sun brings out the glow in the trees. Everything is green, everything is bright, everything is…………right. A noise catches my attention and I turn to see my children playing in the tall grass. Only now do I notice the hill I am on, the trees behind me blowing in the wind, the songs that is the children’s laughter and the warmth that is summer. I close my eyes and enjoy. A gentle chuckle opens my eyes, I see my darling coming towards me a basket in her hand full of the long grass just under her arm. She is just steps behind our little children. They see her first before looking to where her eyes are gazing, just to see me. Their smiles grow even larger then they were when they were playing and they run for me. They glow as if they were angels. My wife stops dead in her tracks and laughs at their happiness. I look to the skies thanking God for them, and for making a clear blue day so that I may see them. Looking at them again I wait and I watch both my children and my wife, but……….slowly her smile begins to fade. As if a disease I catch what she has as my smile fades, as does the sun. Clouds now hide it’s warm rays and the air has a chill, one so familiar yet unwelcome. Tears stream down her face and pain fills those eyes, this on it’s own causes me to stand. The horizon starts to scream a horrible yell of a thousand souls, the rays of light start a trail that chases the ones I love first red as blood then like a giant shadow. The grass it touches withers and dies as it to screams. It folds like it was reaching for me, reaching so I could save it. I scream to my wife but it comes out as a low bellow one that goes nowhere. The shadow grows near and the distance between it and my family grows short. I reach for my wife as her final words burn my ears.

“I hate you, I hate you for what you have done to us” she sheds tears of black. “I hope you are damned forever” then she is overtaken. Her blood stains the grass as it now covers her body, and the shadow moves on. My girl’s smile still they are not to far from me they can make it, if only I could move. They are so close the shadow so far, I call to them as they call me and then…………..as if it could jump a hundred mile………they were so close within arms reach, and now I am stained with their blood. The shadow stops just before me, it rises from the ground and forms a cloak, a black cloak with two long gray cold arms. It is death I know this, he has come for me. But why does he not take me in the manor he took my family? He watches me, as I remain silent. Then he speaks

“You, he who has fallen to my feet.” He pauses so long. “You are of the undead and yet forever alive, be gone with you back to whence you came. I shall not see thee for many a day. Then ye be damned, no sooner.” With that his back is turned and he makes away. I stand for but a moment and stare at the ground, before I let out a scream that continues to my place of death, yet no longer death. Back to the hell that is my home the grass covered in my blood still so cold.
