The Message of the Blade

The dark night comes swiftly,
Its painful brightness
Reaches my eyes,
Blinding me
In a thick, heavy cover
Of black.
With silver-edged titanium blade drawn
From her sheath,
I struggle forward.
I see without seeing
The creatures of the night,
Bloodthirsty, murderous
Vampires.
Like the firing of a machine gun,
Footsteps I hear come from behind me.
I twirl my massive sword
As I spin to see,
And bringing it slashing down...
And stop the fatal swing
Of my sword, sharp enough
To slice a baby's hair lengthwise,
Stop it colder than
Absolute zero,
Less than a quarter inch
From her face.
Yes, her.
I step, startled, backwards
And lower
My legendary blade.
A wall is suddenly at my back,
I slowly sink to the bloody street,
Blood I have spilt
From others like her,
But they were not like her.
Still a few miles away,
The others close slowly in.
I begin to shake,
Begin to ask for mercy.
This cannot be!
Not her, not the girl I love,
Please!
But a vampire she is,
Despite my pleas.
I should have known already,
After she drained my heart dry, though
Not realizing, and giving me
Nothing back in return.
The others are here now,
My death is inevitable, I know,
So I lower my head
And wait for it to come.
She brings her head down beside mine,
And I feel a small prick
Of pain in my neck.
Bursts of bright lights
Flash and speed behind
My tightly shut eyes.
I release the handle of my sword
And relax my muscles,
Gradually sliding
Into the World of the Damned.
The lights stop,
I am gone.
Sunlight streams through my window,
Awakening me from my slumber.
I wonder that I am not dead,
Was it nothing more
Than a horrible nightmare?
I draw out my blade,
My night was real,
So says the message, scrawled in blood,
On my sword.
It is from her,
"You have been allowed to live,
It will not be so violent
When next we meet."
Then signed her name.
