Seize the Night.
That's my motto.
I . . . am a vampire, and the darkness is my home. I can hide from you in plain view, and you'd never know I was there. My senses reel with every scent, every sound, every emotion that floats upon the midnight breeze.
I have a memory spanning several hundred years past, through different lives . . . And I can remember each death I've recieved. Throughout these years, much knowledge has been imparted to me. I know more than I wish to, at times; and yet, it seems that I do not know enough.
I can feel your emotions reach out towards me before you ever realize what it is you're feeling. I can smell you on the wind, and hear your footsteps on the grass.
I can see you in the distance, and know why it is you come.
I have a thirst for blood, but rest assured, you are safe. I do not take from those I do not know. I am not a thief in the night, and I neither have a want nor a need to be. Your life essence is entirely safe, unless you give to me freely. And even then, you can still feel safe . . . for, I take less than I need.
I am not a myth, but I am not a Hollywood Writer's vision, either. I CAN enter your house uninvited, but I prefer not to; I am a creature who does try to respect those around me.
I will not suddenly burst into flame under the rays of the sun, but I do not prefer to be out in it.
I am sensual, and erotic . . . but not always sexual.
I have my vices, but they do not control me.
I do have a conscience, and I do try to abide by what it tells me.
I am highly intelligent, and therefore, I walk that fine line of madness. And, I prefer to talk my way out of a confrontation, rather than have me or my opponent end up bruised and battered.
I have my inner demons, and I fight them on a daily basis. I can die just as easily as you, no wooden stake or cross needed.
I am not religious, but I DO believe in God. And many other gods and goddesses for that matter. So please, do not try to "repel" me by waving an image of holy faith at me . . . it will do you no good. They do not bother me.
I am dark, but I am not evil.
I have my own thoughts, opinions, and beliefs such as everyone else does; though they may not be the same as yours.
I am not a danger to your children, or YOU, for that matter. So please, do not think that because I call myself "vampire", that I am an unholy demon/monster come to snatch your life away and curse you and your family for all eternity.
I am here. And I will stay. I do exist, as I have always.
But please, judge me for WHO I am, not WHAT I am.
This is my curse . . .
And this is also my blessing.
