"The Kindred Prince" by Heathyr D. Smith

Darkness surrounds him

Envelopes all that he was

Squeezing the humanity

Pulling, tugging,

Threatening to drag him deeper into the shadows

Of what he has become

Warm and radiant

She was like the sun

Blinding his eyes

Drowning out the night

Passion threatened to overcome him

The beast inside him cried out for her

Wanted her

Wanted to taste her sweet blood

Feel her dying shudder

As eternal life is breathed into her

The human wanted to love

To forever cherish her

To make her his

To take her heart

As his own

The darkness that is the beast within him

Rips at his heart

Tears at his emotions

Shrieking

Baring its teeth

He feels her warm flesh beneath him

And on her neck

One sweet drop of ecstasy

One last shudder, and eternal life will soon be hers

Her eyes

So mesmerizing

Open upon her eternal mate

And she understand the hunger

To taste him is erotic

The blood of her eternal lover

Their humanity runs

Like the spot of blood upon their lips

While the beast inside rejoices

For she is one now

Forever in eternal life

The Kindred Prince

Has chosen his Princess
