She danced with the elegance of a flower. Her white dress was breath taking, stainless and pure, giving the suddenly small room light. I danced up beside her, my black mask hiding the monster underneith, deep and far away. Her gloved hands fit perfectly within the center of mine and I took her, twirling her around the space around us. Others watched in awe as the demon concured the angel, spinning her and guilding her deeper into my its trench. My broad hold pulled her closer until the space between us seized to exist any longer.

Within the cold clutches of our dance her breath was warm. Sweet, like roses. But her pulse quickens with each breath, her eyes closing, wanting. I pulled her against my chest and pulled us away from the other dancers and onto the balcony. The moon's rays made her skin shine, pale and as warm as a new born child.

I held her silently, feeling the mask slip from my face without effort.

I could no longer hide my true nature.

I wished to feel it in my own: Her pulse, mixed with mine. I gripped her, tighter, staring into her fear glistend eyes. So blue, so beautiful.

"It won't hurt," I whispered. "Just a little."

My lips brushed her skin, as if I actually needed permission. a faint whimper escapes her scarlet lips but she grips me lightly. I, letting my inner beast rage on, consume her. Taste her life in one sip. See her whole being without even speaking a word. Her blood sings to me, taunts me and drunkens me. I want her. I want her body and soul, her lips and her virginity in all one taking.

Cause I'm a monster.

That gives me the right to take anything I want.

Oh wow, Scarlett. This is amazing! And scary and sad, to me too, haha. It's just phenomenal. To me, in a way, it can be used for life. Also, congrats on the editor's choice! It's absolutely, so good. Never ever forget, that you do have talent and greatness and light in you; and that you are a wonderful and talented person. Thank you so much, for sharing this, my friend! :)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<br /> Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<br /> <br /> It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.<br /> We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,<br /> gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?<br /> <br /> Actually, who are you not to be?<br /> You are a child of God.<br /> <br /> Your playing small does not serve the world.<br /> There is nothing enlightened about shrinking<br /> so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you.<br /> We are all meant to shine, as children do.<br /> <br /> We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.<br /> It is not just in some; it is in everyone.<br /> <br /> And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give<br /> other people permission to do the same.<br /> As we are liberated from our fear,<br /> our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> Marianne Williamson
