My angel began to turn away from me but I couldn't let her slip away so quickly. "Hey! What's your name?"
She smiled as she said it, "Anna." Anna...
"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, Anna, even in such...unusual circumstances. My name is Max."
She smiled again and slipped back into the crowd that had suddenly come up around them. The vampire wondered vaguely about where it had come from but perhaps he simply hadn't been paying attention. Either way, she was gone. He hadn't even had a chance to ask her to meet him again.
The nights have gone by in a blur. Luna has gone through her four fold self and again become a young maiden, setting barely after the sun as if reluctant to be out of the parental sight of the sun for very long. I cannot get the sound of her voice out of my head. She has even made her way into my dreams. I roam the streets, hoping to see her again ~ afraid that I won't.
The vampire had fed well tonight. He had lucked upon a youngling - not long on the street. A delicacy compared to most of the food that he found living on the street and he wished that more of them were like it. He was coming off the frenzy when he saw her. He had to blink to make sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him ~ yes! It was her ~ his angel.
O.k...this is flowing about as well as glass. I think I will throw in the towel tonight and regroup. It feels strange being held captive by something like this...I've never really been a prisoner of this particular muse before!
