Where the Sun Don't Shine: Chapter Four

I awoke and went for a rather long stroll. I appreciated the scenery of the night sky, it seemed to be one of the few times a year that you could actually see the stars instead of just a hazy smog. That's the one thing i miss about the time before this one. They sky was always beautiful, and so were the women. Of course, that was a time when i cared not about the purity of blood and just went after anything, much like an animal. Now, I consider myself more refined, a sort of aficionado of sorts. I bumped into a homeless man and apologized briefly. His blood would not be worth spilling, for it was filthy. But wait, no, there was something different about this man. He didn't have the scent of a normal man. He smelled......like a fellow creature of the night but....not. He smelled like some sort of half-breed or some other type of creature. I decided to follow him.

I followed him to a condemned mental institution. There he took off his filthy wardrobe and what i saw before me was monstrous. He stood with his right leg shorter than the left, and his left arm became a sort of monstrous claw while his right arm remained human. His face was that of a normal human face except for one disguishable characteristic. His mouth.....was nonexistent. Well, not nonexistent, but rather he had no lips, just a round hole with teeth covering the entire circumference. Out of the shadows a woman appeared who appeared to be human.
"Please, I beg of you...." she weeped.
"Enough."
"But..."
"If you bring me a man of a high stature then i will spare the life of you and your family."
"High stature? I'm afraid I don't understand..."
"Bring me, a rich man." She started to walk away.
"I don't think I need to tell you what will happen if you don't bring him....tonight" the man said. The woman hurried away. I'd never seen anything like this man before. And what was going on with this woman? I slipped deeper into the shadows to conceal myself. Before long, the woman came back with a very average looking man.
"Come on, it's nice and empty in here, see?"
"I don't know about this. I'd rather just get a hotel room."
"Don't you have any sense of fun? Doesn't this place give you a sense of exhilaration?"
"Well yes but.....Oh my god, what the fuck is that thing?!" the average man had seen the disfigured man standing there. Before the average man could say anything more the disfigured man pounced upon him and placed his mouth on the top of the average man's head and appeared to be drinking. If there's one thing I can spot it's how a monster drinks. After all, I do it myself. The disfigured man drank and drank and slowly his disfigured parts started to become normal again and before long what stood before me was the average man. He turned to the woman.
"Now, leave. Before I change my mind" he said as she ran away. I decided now would be a good time to reveal myself in his presense.
"What exactly are you?" I said to the man.
"A monster, just think of me as a monstrous leech." He said, not at all surprised to see me.
"And you take on the forms of your victims?"
"How else should I find more people to feed upon? I mean, first it started with this here institution. Everyone in here was a tasty morsel but of course, I suffered a slight damper upon my sanity from all the meals. But I will have this whole city to feast upon one day."
"Is that....disfigured body your real form?"
"Well, it is when I haven't fed in a while. You can see from this institution that is my home that it's been quite a long while. It's very hard to feast upon people in public when you are what I am."
"And the woman? Why didn't you feast upon her?"
"Honestly, I hate taking on the form of a woman. I'd rather just threaten to take her family away from her while she watches. Then, she pleads me not to. After that I make a deal and tell her to bring me someone worthy of being eaten. Then i let her go. For the rest of her life she lives with the guilt of killing an innocent man to save her family's life, while her family goes on living carefree."
"You've done this before?"
"Well, it's what i used to do before I had happened upon this institution."
"I'm going to have to kill you."
"I know."
"It's not because of what you do, I agree with it. But, it's because of the fact that this town is a meal reserved for me. And I might never know when you might attempt to feed upon one of the 6 humans under my protection."
"Well then, we should probably stop talking and commence our battle then. Shall we?" He said as he pulled a stake from behind his back.
"By the way" he said, "what's your name?"
"Vito" I said, and i lunged.
